Cloud based tech is the future. I wanna see what MS does in this category.

Ares84HU3536d ago

It is the future unfortunately. But I don't like it. It takes away our ownership of video games and it's bad news for collectors like myself.

bandit9053536d ago

same here I cant wait, its gonna be awesome

hello123536d ago

cloud gaming is the future. Sony fans will see the future on xb1 soon enough and the hate will diminish.

MrDead3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

Cloud gaming is not exclusive to Xbox. There is nothing stopping Sony, Nintendo or any company from using this.

Ripsta7th3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

Its not exclusive but MS and other parties seem to be the ones hard at work to perfect this new tech. Meaning when it finally takes off they will have the most experience
@Ares below- PS now is completely different to the Cloud computing MS is doing, as you guys have said many times

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ3536d ago

Im sorry, last time I checked PS4 and WiiU did not have the hardware for Cloud Computing on the same level MS does...? Xbox One has a Faster CPU, 4 Move Engines specifically for Cloud Computing and a fast 32mb ESRAM Cache for read/write and dumping dumping of data... Just saying

MrSec843536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

@GUTZ all of that is meaningless, all any platform needs to use cloud computing is an Ethernet connection or wifi.

This is proven by the fact that this guy isn't using an Xbox One for each of these games, he's using APU based laptops.

Even an APU isn't needed to use "the cloud", so yes Nintendo and Sony could use this if they want to.

I'd be interested to know how far away the servers are from those laptops.
If the servers are in the building I'd be laughing my backside off.

Even if MS managed to reduce the latency down to reasonable levels, there's still the issue of cost of servers and maintenance.
Keep in mind that multiple times the processing power of Xbox One, means multiple times the cost of an Xbox One's production costs, times that by the amount of people you need to provide external processing power for at high demand times.

Reality is that Microsoft will want to make money off of this, so Xbox Live Gold isn't going to cover the price of entry for customers, more than likely a subscription system will be needed for MS to make money and gamers won't want to pay more than they already have for the console and their yearly XBL sub fee.

dcbronco3535d ago

MrSec, Microsoft already has a cloud server system in place. It's called Azure. 800,000 servers spread throughout the world. And their division that contains Azure already has revenue of several billion dollars a year and was the biggest gainer in the cloud space last year (one of). So business' are already footing the bill. Gamers will be piggy backing on that. And trust me, business' pay a premium for these services. Though it is still a savings overall for them.

Also as far as an increase in cost to reproduce Xbox One power you're looking at that wrong. The latest AMD chips to come out that replaces the Jaguar cores with Puma cores are 40% faster, lower powered and use a slightly modified Jaguar core. They just made it more efficient and rebranded it. It also has a much better GPU still built on the same GCN design found in the Xbox One. I believe the clock speed is higher on both sides also. I'm sure the server won't be spending it's entire time focused on one Xbox. Each will handle many. I would bet a server with several APUs and a bunch of RAM could be set up to run a given map for MP or level for SP in a physics model that would then run scenarios received from a user. Since both would have the level loaded, the server just does the scenario and updates the results.

@KNWS

Answer: Playstation Now

Guess you are too much of a Xbox fanboy to know about it. But please google it.

Thanks!

Nekroo913536d ago

Sony is the one doing cloud gaming.. MS is cloud computing.

What kind of fanboy are you when you dont even know this

Pricey3536d ago

KNWS why don't you get the difference between streaming a game( OnLive, PS Now, AMD) and offloading processing to a server. Playstation fans are skeptical about the later not the former.

It seems to me that KNWS knows f-all.

In what maps is there a helicopter that you fly? I think that BF2.

uth113536d ago

It's not the future until internet bandwidth is beefed up across the board. Still plenty of areas where internet is too slow to support game streaming properly

lokirevamped3535d ago

I agree, but some of us have fast enough internet, I have 150\65, Fios.

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin3d ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken2d ago

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

AMD FSR 3.1 Announced at GDC 2024, FSR 3 Available and Upcoming in 40 Games

Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.

Eonjay33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.

More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability

MrDead33d ago

I've been using a mod that allows dlss frame gen on my 3080 it works on all rtx series. It'll be good not to rely on mods for the future.

darksky32d ago

The mods avaiable are actually using FSR3 frame gen but with DLSS or FSR2 upscaling.

Babadook732d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I think that the leaks about the 5 Pro would debunk the notion that the two (FSR 3.1 and PSSR) are the same technology. PSSR is a Sony technology.

MrDead33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.

just_looken33d ago

Did you see the dell leaks were they are trying to cool cards using over 1k watts of power.

We are going to need 220 lines for next gen pcs lol

MrDead33d ago

That's crazy! Sounds like heating my house won't be a problem next winter.

porkChop32d ago

As much as I hate supporting Nvidia, AMD just doesn't even try to compete. Their whole business model is to beat Nvidia purely on price. But I'd rather pay for better performance and better features. AMD also doesn't even try to innovate. They just follow Nvidia's lead and make their own version of whatever Nvidia is doing. But they're always 1 or 2 generations behind when it comes to those software/driver innovations, so Nvidia is always miles ahead in quality and performance.

MrDead32d ago

I do a lot of work on photoshop so an Intel Nvidia set up has been the got to because of performance edge, more expensive but far more stable too. Intel also have the edge over AMD processors with better load distribution on the cores, less spikes and jitters. When you're working large format you don't want lag or spikes when you're editing or drawing.

I do think AMD has improved massively though and whist I don't think they threaten Nvidia on the tech side they do make very well priced cards and processors for the power. I'm probably going with a 5080 or 5090 but AMD will get a little side look from me, which is a first in a long time... but like you said they are a generation or two behind at the moment.

Goosejuice32d ago

While I can't argue for amd gpu, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. The cpu for amd have great. I would argue the 7800x3d as one of the best cpu for gaming right now. Idk about editing so I take ur word for that but gaming amd cpu is a great option these days.

porkChop31d ago

@Goosejuice

I have a 7800X3D. It certainly is great for gaming. Though for video editing, rendering, etc, I think Intel have the advantage from what I remember. I just mean from a GPU standpoint I can't support them.
