Xbox One Xbox One and the Power of the Cloud

[sc_shark]

The article goes into how cloud will be used for campaign gaming with ai systems.. I'm still not sure how non multiplier games will benefit from the cloud and have not seen an article from any titles that touch on this. we have herd about Forza 5 and the driviatar system.

i find it semi odd that Netflix and social networks will be running live behind the game.. i assume this is to make switching streamline.

i don't think i will link my Facebook account to Xbox One as i don't care for it that much.

Xbox One only uses 5 out of the 8 gigabytes of ram for gaming, and it uses the other 3 gigabytes to run services such as Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, and other apps in the background. But the power of the cloud is almost infinite. Using the cloud, developers can create seamless and more detailed worlds that live and breath even when your not playing. This means you can play the game one day and then the next time you log on, the game could be a totally different experience.
