Microsoft tech demo shows off power of Xbox One’s cloud

4.5
Titanfall is the first game we’ve seen to use Microsoft’s cloud servers to offload processing in any significant fashion, but this tech demo gives you a better idea of what’s actually going on when developers take advantage of the tech.


Captured from an archived livestream of Microsoft’s annual Build developer conference, the video below shows a tech demo running on PC hardware under ideal conditions. As such, it’s not necessarily representative of what the Xbox One can do – but it does give you an idea of the possibilities.

The cloud makes it look like it will make everything run real well. But I just can't see it, maybe when technology increases within about 10-20 years. But not now.

Cloud will make it run so smooth. I can see it now. Loading up a game in like 2 seconds.

gyaniman 1st, OT: Not sure if this is true, but PS Now uses 6 or 8 PS3's to run a server. This would probably destroy it :)!


...They can't just straight up lie to you, it would be awful for them.

+6/8 PS3's = one server? That's pitiful compared to an azure server

And who said the cloud was limited to AI and lighting?

Damn, this proves there is an incredible amount of possibilities.

This is a great step for microsoft, taking this cloud even further we would be able to take much more content with enormous numbers of entities on game at once, and let us play more games in high depth in a very solid frame rate.
