[Rumor] Brad Sams: Xbox Scarlett Cloud box information leaked (Next-gen; Traditional system as well)
- Thread starter Iichter
- Start date
At the end of their E3 presentation Spencer said they were working on "Microsoft IA", and insisted in a number of interviews that that was where they saw the most room for improvement in modern games. I think they clearly want to lead a revolution there.
Yeah, about three pages ago, an insider hinted at it. It lines up with the Microsoft AI project they announced during their E3 presentation as well as how insistent they've been about AI being where they saw more room for improvement in games. It's intriguing to say the least.
And that is the traditional pain point of Xbox. I can't see any developer making a game around a single hardware platform when they ship to many. This sort of thing will MS developed titles only and, well, they have three series as it stands.
Well the game is not out yet, so we have no idea how good that part of the game will be.
Yeah a shame that it didn't hit any of its five release dates.
Hardly inspires confidence in the power of the cloud.
Lol. How did you steer the conversation from Scarlet to Crackdown and it's release date? off-topic much?

You don't even know if the delay was due to MP (cloud based) or the campaign. The only thing we do know is they were originally planning to release the multi beta first.
I just wonder how much of the U.S. would be receptive to a streaming only console. How many hours of gaming could you realistically do a month if you were in an area that only offered data capped internet?
Woops wrong topic.
But anyway. Wonder when some real leaks will happen this time around in regards to specs

There were couple of interviews where that was implied if I remember correctly. On the other hand Crackdown 3 made for a good testbed for the tech.
That "culture" is no where a meaningful problem ...is a subset of a niche of people that can't accept for no reason to have games on multiple services meanwhile they use multiple services and account for ... basically ...everything else
And still ..im not sure why people think that steam cover all the PC gamers family? It doesn't ..it's clear
If people accept (like it happen) to have money on multiple bank accounts ..is a giant stupid idea to think that they cannot accept multiple videogames stores and accounts
This IF ..(a big if) the w10 store get fixed

Did something change on that?
(I don't think they ever said "massive cities" by the way. The multiplayer will take place in an 100% destructible environment, but it's not a whole city and never was intended to be so. It's a part of a city while the focus is on tower building versus tower building and which team destroys the opponents building first.)
Ha really? No other games have been delayed ever? And ofc, you know for sure that this delay is due to the cloud technology?
Game streaming - something Nvidia and Sony have been doing for years - has nothing to do with 'the power of the cloud'. or Crackdown 3.
Well, nothing changed on that front.. Crackdown 3's multiplayer will offer a fully destructible city.
The infrastructure in the US is just not ready for it at all.
Think it'll do just fine, and for those that can't handle the speed requirements, they'll at least have an offline console.
So like every console generation since the dawn of time?
The idea of "hybrid cloud streaming" is very much based on an underlying false premise, just like Microsoft's power of the cloud promise.
It will fail because a more expensive hybrid client will offer no tangible benefits over a much cheaper traditional thin streaming client. We're rapidly approaching the moment when EA, Ubisoft and other third parties will all be offering streamed versions of their big games on any phone, tablet, or smart TV device completely bypassing Xbox and PlayStation. Microsoft wants to railroad developers into being dependent on their proprietary solution (and server infrastructure) to delay this.
Game streaming is by definition powered by the cloud. Microsoft trying to promote an overly complex solution that doesn't actually solve any problems is highly relevant to both situations.
Lol. What is this? So much bias, drivel and a lot of nothing in just one comment, most of what you've posted aren't even based on fact cos you have no idea what MS streaming tech is like. It's all what you probably hope would happen..have they announced it? do you know how they plan to roll it out or how they plan to work with developers? No... and it seems you always defend that poster. That comment was clearly offtopic and thread derailing. MS future game streaming tech and the cloudgine tech used in Crackdown will be doing two very different things also nothing has been said about crackdown's mp cloud-based destruction being removed from the game but how does that even concern this topic? other users gave you examples with Sonys Ps now and Nvidia streaming tech but you still found a way to downplay it cos it's MS. Lol. MS owns Azure shouldn't they leverage their own solution?
Unfortunately for you and your agenda, Microsoft hasn't announced any hybrid cloud streaming. The ONLY thing they've been on record saying is that they are planning to stream games to end users to allow your games to be accessible on multiple platforms.
As at today, cloud game streaming is a tech that is very much in use and has been shown to work reasonably well by the likes of Sony and Nvidia. So it's not smoke and mirrors.
The last tech related promise MS made was to make a 6TF console that'd allow devs to hit native 4k gaming for AAA games. They delivered.
Why did you come into a rumor thread explicitly about a hybrid streaming solution supposedly in development for Xbox just to play "officially announced" police?
If you can't understand the conversation it's okay not to post in the thread.
Sorry to disappoint you but I do understand it maybe you should stop going off topic and defending those doing same.
So saw a survey that went out to gamers. Put the info into quotes below. basically just asked what sort of interest they would have and asked if upgradability of performance etc. would be something desired and how strongly. Now sure if this is related to Xbox but seems someone is busy.
That's the conclusion I came to as well.
Was Amazon rumored to be working a gaming device, or am I misremembering?
Okay bumping this thread. with the announcement of xCloud.
Lets revisit the minimum connection speed issue again.

From the Wired article: https://www.wired.com/story/xbox-cloud-gaming-exclusive/
Interesting.
Even if the public infrastructure or service itself isn't yet there (or ubiquitous), I feel confident that MS will be set the new gold standard for game streaming. Though that might just be blind faith.
Well hot damn. Looks like we were both wrong about their targets. I'll be impressed if they can truly deliver on that 10Mbps promise. Especially when they also made mention of wanting to preserve "artistic visions" via graphical settings and framerates.
Indeed. I really do wonder what Microsoft will require / recommend, at the end of the day in terms of internet speeds.
I also wonder if high speed fiber connections are really going to be more widespread across the U.S. over the next 2 to 3 years.
I really hope so. I mean, I'd love to be able to play a high fidelity version of Cyberpunk 2077 with the Scarlett streaming console, over xCloud, and an Xbox controller. When I say high fidelity, I don't mean high resolution like 4K, but a graphically impressive / high graphical fidelity version of the game, where the graphics being streamed in are rendered on a Scarlett server, and better graphics than what an Xbox One X could do natively.
First you should read your post and understand what you written Lol
Nice. It will be crazy if they are able to deliver on this. Nadella has been a major influence on their cloud/Azure drive.. and his efforts are yielding great results.
2020 is so much more sensible. I just cannot see the economics of doing a whole new system next year. It just seems too soon and confusing for people.
2020 would be a bad decision as a launch date for the streaming service/box. That would cause actual confusion when launched next to Scarlett.
2019 however would be smart because as it looks Sony won't interfere, and it would be a completely optional addition to the Xbox family of devices that would still receive a lot of attention. If the technology is ready to go, MS would be insane not to launch it next year.
Oh for sure with that, but it's not like a streaming box is suddenly going to make people buy 30m consoles lol. They need games. They need games ready to go for launch. No way in hell that happens next year.
