"Hello, again! Several months ago, we introduced Xbox Live Compute and began sharing details on how cloud computing improves games for both developers and gamers. In that post, we discussed what the Xbox Live cloud is all about, how Xbox One benefits greatly from the power of the Xbox Live cloud, and how those benefits translate directly to game creators and, ultimately, to those who play the games. With Xbox One launched and a few months of cloud computing in practice behind us, we wanted to share some great moments in cloud gaming."
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
Xbox Live 1.0, the first instance of online servers for the original Xbox, is set to return via Insignia, a free third-party service that's currently compatible with 20 titles, such as Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Counter-Strike.
Forza 5 replicates the driving conduct of the players.
Then it goes online and competes with others.
This is something that I've always dreamed about, a game that plays itself because I don't have the time to play it myself.
Ghost that replicates the action of the gamer isn't something new, it existed for a long time, even PSP games have that feature, it's not a demanding one, it's rather simple.
Cool video. The latency is really good in Titanfall. I connected to a server farthest away possible, which was about 2500 miles away from me, and i was amazed how the game still played fairly smooth even with a 180 MS ping.
Diablo 3 servers are about 200 miles from me and I cant get the ping under 110 MS.
I am going to bet, that by end of the day...This thread will be 4 pages deep and mostly made up of the following types of comments:
"The cloud is M$ PR..Its not real"
"Its an MS conspiracy to fool everybody" sorry I meant "M$" conspiracy.
"Forzas AI dont count"
"Its a conspiracy"
"titanfalls AI dont count"
"Its an M$ conspiracy"
"Gaikai is the same thing as azure"..( I thought the cloud didnt exist?)
"Its a conspiracy"
..."Did I mention its all one big M$ conspiracy"
By the way...I used the power of the cloud to predict this thread.
