Xbox One video spotlights the power of the cloud

4.6
Microsoft has released a new Xbox One video that highlights the benefits of the Xbox Live cloud.

Turn 10 Creative Director Dan Greenawalt talks about Forza 5's learning AI, Drivatar, and other ways in which the cloud network will benefit players and developers.

According to a new post on Xbox Wire, the Cloud will offer devs greater control over updates.

"The cloud enables a conversation between the Forza team and their community, which is at the heart of Forza Motorsport 5," it reads.

"Through the cloud, the Forza team can add new challenges, new achievements and let the community vote with their actions. So if drag racing is a hit with the community, for example, the team can add more challenges."

The cloud will also enhance multiplayer matchmaking, says MS. "The cloud makes it nearly effortless for developers to hook up dedicated servers for multiplayer matches, so there is less lag and quick pick-up, so you can start playing very quickly."

Microsoft has released a list of games that are targeted to be available for Xbox One on launch day, including Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome and Killer Instinct.

Microsoft expects to release its new console in November, though its initial target of 21 launch countries was recently narrowed to 13.

Pufferfish I've never owned a racing game on any kind of Xbox but this will be my first.


Forza Motorsport is defiantly worth a try. I have played 3 and 4 and have to say that they are excellent games.

Ampz I'm very excited for the new cloud features. Matchmaking will be great with servers.


Matchmaking will be much more streamlined with this feature, hopefully it will make using the Xbox One in general much more efficient

Dr-Ponyfile It's fantastic that Microsoft invested in 300,000 servers if only Sony did this, this is one of the major good things about Xbox that Sony doesen't have so I am waiting for both consoles to be out and to see which are better etc.


Microsoft has always been better when it comes to online servers, hopefully sony can end up competing in that field some day.
