Surprising forza did not chart in the top 10. Until dawn didn't either, but don't think any thought it would.
It would be interesting to see a 11 - 20 list after the top 10.

Gamingbolt? Milking the cloud today... Nahhh I'll pass on clicking the article link

Bloodborne - still the highest rated first party title of 2015. Can any first party title topple this? Halo 5 might have a chance - but a very long shot considering the last two halo games by 343 industries scored in the 80s on metacritic.

Any bet takers?

"“I think it’s embarrassing that Microsoft has taken such a dishonest approach to introducing Hololens to the world. They are absolutely misleading consumers with the implied field of view which can never be improved,” states Green. “They’re promising the world because they feel left behind with all the current VR excitement, but their product simply has no hope of ever providing the immersion of VR.”

Field of view is a game breaker. Can't really seem much in the way...

I'm sure everyone's thinking this but I just have to say it - How much no life do you have to have take the time to create a troll account like "sonyslave" with the sole purpose of being a microsoft shill full time on n4g expending countless hours.

Are these people for real? Some of the comments read like advertisements for Xbox.

Before you guys get too excited at 1:10 he rattles off a list of practical applications for these cloud Gpus and lists like 7 to 8 different things like car design applications, product design, medical application etc... All which are not game related. Wouldn't you think the ceo of nvidia would mention gaming application if he felt there was serious benefits? All of those applications he me...

Watching Laura getting skewered by a random sharp branch as she slides down a river In a death cut scene that appears out of no where on the actual screen was novel initially but made my head hurt after repeatedly watching it.

Remember the golden era of the ps2? Where devs didnt have to worry too much about supporting multiple platforms and be able to make profit on niche titles due to cost savings on focusing on one system?

Back then even huge dev shops like rockstar were cranking out tiles like Manhunt.

Honestly doesn't really looks like it's pushing the bar higher in general, but looks pretty decent regardless.

When did they start letting bots run amuck on n4g? It's bad enough they are all over YouTube comments.. Now we have bots responding to bots lol!

@shloob, upset with Sony for what? Releasing the highest reviewed first party title of this year across all platforms?

To the first five commenters where do I sign up to get the Microsoft bucks?

Windows is the operating platform you have to look at the distribution platform like Steam, Origin or the now defunct Games for windows (now windows store).

What a shady comment.. Must work for Microsoft PR, hey look at this misdirection quickly so you can forget about this other issue with Xbox live. And yes even Microsoft reports issues still even now.

@donthate
"Coming from an application dev background and you should know that all multiplayer games are hosted in this environment and Azure is among the fastest and biggest data warehouses in the world.

Now if you can play a multiplayer game that has a much higher requirement for frame-by-frame synchronization with incoming data, why do you think suddenly this isn't going to work?"

I don't think you grasp what I am saying...

There is a reason no one wants to use the cloud for this type of computation.

When hardware manufactures are trying to make the pipes between cpu/gpu/RAM as fast as possible you don't offload computational work through the Internet unless it's something that is truly asyncronous where an instant reaction is required.

@cindy

But titanfalls AI had local AI to fall back on in case of lag issues and its unpredicted movement so u won't be able to notice the difference except for the fact that they are stupid bots.

Don't see how crackdown 3 will be able to do the same considering its physics is prediction based.

Cloud computation has nothing to do with graphical fidelity of the game btw. And titanfalls didn't look that great either with low resolu...

Let's off load an entire maps physics calculation for thousands of players over the Internet through the same incoming pipes at the data center, which mind you is used for an array of Microsoft based products and think this is a good idea.

Coming from an application dev background typical syncronous transactions have SLAs of about 5 seconds to recieve a response back. When compounding multiple (hundreds of calls) and having to Marshall that data back in sequential order w...

It's only the 1 and 3 month cards. The annual price remains the same

So 1 year price remain the same? Then not as big of a deal.
