Turn 10 is particularly chuffed at being able to make use of Xbox One's cloud computing support for its much-sung Drivatar AI system, which trades out pre-scripted computer drivers for cloud-stored entities that learn from player behaviour. Greenawalt described the ability to offload such tasks to servers as a "tremendous opportunity".


quote:

"So we can now make our AI instead of just being 20%, 10% of the box's capability, we can make it 600% of the box's capability," he went on. "Put it in the cloud and free up that 10% or 20% to make the graphics better - on a box that's already more powerful than we worked on before."

It's certainly an interesting concept, although it's worth noting that this server side processing is not performed in real time - rather, you download the "profile" of a given driver that was exogenously computed...this is where the "600%" figure comes in. All AI calculations while playing the game in real time are still performed locally.

Regardless of the nebulous wording from the developer, I imagine such features will become staples of titles on both next gen consoles.

but cloud gaming is new and scary, I'm going to give my money to sony. The PS4 it may be an inferior product, but it's familiar.

AI capability really hit a plateau this generation. I'm looking forward to seeing how that changes with the next generation.

But wait, I thought they were already putting graphics on the cloud. I guess it doesn't matter since it will be able to do so much. Why have a console in the first place if everything will be done on the cloud?

If Microsoft let me buy a real life cloud and keep it in my home, they can have my money.

And honestly, that's a big part of this next generation that I'm really interested in. I like how developers will be able to put more into their games by putting less stress (I don't have a better way to describe it) on the console's computing power.

Damn, why does everything have to be a pissing match?

It was tongue in cheek, but I guess all we can really do around here these days is nitpick sentences.

Whether you meant to be sarcastic or what, it came across as bashing the cloud.

I'll be glad when the consoles finally launch. I used to like lurking/occasionally posting here. You guys suck now.

It's gotten ridiculous. Me personally, I'm excited for both to see what they bring to the table and see how it effects games as a whole over the next generation.
