No he stated that hardware was not powerful enough to do 60fps and 1080p so he offload some of the gpucpu tasks to a server somewhere. The server process the data and sends it back.
By doing this, it freed up resources so more can go toward graphics. I think it's a nice work around, but as a launch game, Turn10 shouldn't have to do this unless the console is maxed out already.
Read the article again.
The cloud and help "segregate" duties i.e. computations like A.I. if resources are set aside as receivers.
What it can't do is resolution unless the game is actually running on a server and you are STREAMing the game. If that's true, that means no internet = no game play.
On a racing game, it would help with keeping records, or fastest laps. It can't make a game "look" better.

So, Forza is on a remote server streaming data back to the user?
Does this mean that there is actually nothing on disk? I call BS.
Edit: Oh I see. The servers provide computations so more of the system resources can be used for graphics.
That leads me to believe:
Why are they leaning on cloud already as a launch game? Is there not enough system resources?
Forza will lack features online, perhaps limiting the number ...
You can't sign in on another account via settings?
I hate how I still have to use the windows key to get to apps and no "search" bar. Thank god for classic shell.
Besides that gripe Windows 8 isn't so bad, but I play they go back to the windows 7 style in the next windows OS.
MS has a better GUI (in my opinion) but it's obvious that games are less important than media.
If MS has so many legs, why was there only one AAA xbox 360 game this year(gears)?
Don't make the mistake of buying a console on day 1 games. You will regret that decision in 2014
I thought it was a lost Hanson Brother in the video. I was waiting to get "rick rolled" into a MMMbop.
OT - Why the #%@%#@ would you start a kick starter for a stupid cause like this, when there is people starving all over the world and dying of incurable deceases?
At this rate, I might as well launch a kick starter to bring back the dollar menu at McDonalds.
The steam console is going to be digital because most stores don't sell a variety of PC games. You might get lucky and spot Warcraft 3 battlechest or Starcraft 2 on the shelves at Wal-mart along with puzzlequest, but that it. I have been to gamestops, that don't sell any PC games.
You also have to factor that most PC games are much cheaper than console games (except from activision). I will admit, I thought because of PC piracy that retailers would partner with up mor...
I agree. The UI looks real smooth, and can make watching TV smoother than scrolling through channels.
Not going to hate the UI looks better than one on PS4.
There is a difference though - Games cost alot more, and once you beat the game..what good it is? I understand if say you got 10+ hours of gameplay, but what if it's a game you don't like immediately?
Music is music. I can download a blink 182 song and still enjoy listening to it a year from now. I can bring this music with me where I go to.
Also, in my opinion mp3 players + iTunes killed CDs. Why bring arround a case of Cd's when you can have 20...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^************** ^^^^^^^^^^^^
funny, I can play ps4 games and let friends borrow them WHEN I WANT.
Hmm so if I have complete control on the game I don't own it?
Ok let me ask you this hypothetically..
Johnny buys a game for full price and "family shares" it with 8 other people. That's hundreds of dollars that the developer/publisher is not getting.
Do you really think that was what MS w...
Xbox Zealots will take it as a necessary evil and that it's innovative.
^^^ Agreed.
What happens if I buy a game that's single player only and I beat it in 3-4 hours.
...what if I buy a multiplayer only game and its glitchy as all hell.
I bought some Wii game (can't remember) from Gamestop and when I got home the game was a glitchy mess. I went back to Gamestop and complained and they gave me in-store credit. Sorry folks, until price of a AAA game is around the 20$ value, no way I am going digital on it.
I cut the cable a while back and went with either pay per episode and hulu+netflix.
The only thing I miss is live sports, but that gives me a reason to go to the bar :)
I don't want to see people lose jobs. I just wish for a smooth transition to another company which includes all studios and their employees.
False read again.
They offloaded tasks that usually the cpugpu do to a remote server to run them independently. In the case of the article, it was physics.
They had to do this to free up resources to get their game to be 60 fps/1080p since they didn't have enough resources on the console itself. (note-my guess is that Xbox OS is using alot).
