Microsoft seemingly plans to harness the power of cloud processing in its next-gen Xbox console.
The idea of using the cloud to calculate more processor-intensive calcuations is one that Microsoft has been dabbling with for more than a decade now, with the company famously promising to implement it in Xbox One games.
The most notable example of its actual use in an Xbox game to date was the Wrecking Zone multiplayer mode in Crackdown 3, which used cloud-based processing to run the game’s destruction model and sync it across all players’ games.
However, unredacted court documents published overnight – seemingly in error – included an internal Microsoft plan featuring early details of its next-gen console, and cloud processing appears to be a main focus again.
The SNES and Game Boy physical copies of Straynus’ spiritual successor to Maniac Mansion, Cronela’s Mansion, have been revealed.
The Nintendo 64 marked a golden era for racing games, featuring numerous classics and some obscure hidden gems.
the issue i personally have, is that Mario kart is literally the only one that does it for me and i cant play any "realistic" racing karts anymore haha.
altough, i fking loved Blur
look, im biased, i think Snowboard kids is absoutely amazing and Diddy Kong racing is a close 2nd. Mario kart is good and all but falls short when compared to those two
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.
That's next Thursday.
It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.
What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.
There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.
If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.
Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in
Aw sh!t, here we go again.
Only few things in life are certain, life, death, and the power of the cloud
I believe in the power of silence. STFU about the cloud already!
And the power of DRM
So, circa 2013?
