Oh I’m sorry I didn’t realise nobody wants to play destiny or titanfall. This kind of technology is exactly the kind of thing that’ll help with latency, prediction of your actions wouldn’t be limited only to full gameplay but applicable across all forms of its potential use’s in physics and AI. Killzone’s multiplayer uses predictive technology for temporal reprojection and by most accounts doesn’t have much in the way of glitches in picture quality, just as an example of predictive software working its not the same but similar enough. If for some reason the connection stutters or fails they’ll drop back to local and anyone who buys the game will be aware of potential interruptions just like mmo’s and online multiplayer at least if its a single player experience you could continue to play albeit at a diminished version of the game but play nonetheless. Believe it when you see it doesn’t apply as a bandwidth heavy service like it exists in beta right now, its called psnow, people in the beta report loss in visual quality but not experience breaking lag.
If any one is complaining about kinect not working on fighter within pay it no heed, its quite a poorly made game unfortunately. Sports rivals works very well, voice commands and gestures work very well for others I know and my self with what I’d call a 98% hit rate, alot better than initial release but even initial release was far and above kinect 1.0. So I tend not to listen to the internet on that matter as it could be flat out bias, nor do I expect others to take me at my word.

Developing does not assure success. I am very much in ‘I will believe it when I see it.’ Latency is not simply going to disappear. Nobody is going to want a game they can only play some of the time and that is exactly what is going to happen.

If they can make it work fine but to date they have shown nothing that looks like it will handle the clear problems with the Cloud.

And if the Kinect does things you like great but the net is rather overflowing with the complaints about it. The most common one is that it is just not good enough yet. Eventually it will be I am sure.

They are developing a confirmed game right now that will use the cloud quite heavily. That tech demo was as officially confirmed early crackdown work.
Having bought an Xbox doesn’t mean I’m helping to fund a possible pipe dream, it means I get to play most of the games available now and then get to be involved in innovative games in the future. That sounds like a good deal to me.
The kinect works. Deadrisings inclusion of the kinect was innovative, ryse made good use of it, it helps to immerse you in the game by telling archers to fire. Games like sports rivals are brilliant fun for BBQ’s, kids love playing the game and for me and my family especially after a few drinks the game can be really funny.

Oh yeah I’ve seen that posted somewhere before, if real could be the first showing of complex dynamic worlds. Next year will be interesting with crackdown hopefully showing and maybe this one too.

What they should have done is left both out of the Xbox completely. When the tech is ready then introduce it.

They cannot create any IPs that rely on the Cloud because it simply will not work for a large number of people. The tech does not exist in a workable form.

If you bought an Xbox you are paying for M$ to develop something that might never work. Just like the Kinect. It was *not* ready for prime time either but they figured if they shoved enough of them down people’s throats they would have the $$ to make it work. Then they dropped it.

I expect the same with the Cloud. Eventually they will admit it is not ready and will stop talking about it.

And check out what some ALLEGED developer’s saying about his cloud game on Xbox, supposed to be announced next year. U may have seen it, but it is cool insight about his design with the game. Again, allegedly. Courtesy of NeoGaf. His name’s Kampfheld.

Crackdown, that is all.
