Copying my comment from another thread:
You’d think Microsoft would calm down on the cloud after the massive Xbox One failure and underwhelming results of their live service games like Halo Infinite. Guess they never learn.
Cloud-Centric company that shows no signs of understanding the art of gaming wants to force people to subscribe to cloud gaming services? I’m Shocked!
Guess how I’ve been playing Starfield on my Xbox One? I’ll give you a hint, it starts with a C and ends with Loud.
I guess you don’t know what the fuck the cloud is because neither of those have anything to do with it.
What are you on about? Xbox one literally tried to sell itself as a cloud console with games like Crackdown 3 leveraging cloud computing. Nobody wanted it and it failed. That's literally what they're suggesting the new console is.
So your think crackdown 3 failed because of the cloud computing element? And not because it was a second sequel to a game, which was only popular because it exposed the Halo 2 multiplayer beta?
Or that Microsoft, putting a new feature in the game is them trying to sell the whole console based on that feature?
Well it’s a leak so they’re not suggesting a single thing. It will probably be closer to how certain GamePass games are playable in the cloud and that works rather flawlessly but go on and complain about nothing.
Xbox One as a whole failed because it's not at all what people want. Aside from the fact that you need amazing internet for games that would support cloud computing, it felt like a gimmick and still does now. I brought up their live service games because that's where they'd want to do something like that on, and if they can't make a good live service game now they won't with The Cloud™
It will probably be closer to how certain GamePass games are playable in the cloud and that works rather flawlessly but go on and complain about nothing.
You're the one arguing... And the article says otherwise...
it wants to develop a "hybrid game platform capable of leveraging the combined power of the client and cloud to deliver deeper immersion and entirely new classes of game experiences."
Microsoft said it envisions the next-gen device as being "optimized for real time gameplay and creators," with the company adding it will "enable new levels of performance beyond the capabilities of the client hardware alone."
58 millions sales equals a failure to you? Fuck off bud. Hahahahahahahahahahha.
It seems like the gaming division of Microsoft was doing just fine over that same period of time.
If the Xbox One was a complete failure then why would Microsoft make the series X/S?
Wow, you really drank the capitalist tea haven’t you? You’re sitting over there with how much capital to your name? Probably absolutely nothing and saying that some a company selling 58 million units is a failure. But go off keep sucking that capitalistic cock and buying their shit.
Troll harder, mate
