Are you familiar with OnLive?

Same concept.



Not surprised with all the false information spreading like the plague.

More irony... Shocker.



Care to elaborate on the false information you speak of?

You're trying too hard to shun the XB1.

All that "downloading" going on would put stress on servers (which it won't, over 300k servers and 'cloud' processors), as well as cause inconvenience. Instead, games would basically be streamed, with the cloud servers and processors doing the bulk of the work, allowing for instant play.

How's that?

Not trying to shun anything... Looking for info to praise the XB1 in anyway...

Games will be streamed? How will that effect the players with average or low grade internet though. No hours of waiting or negatively effected play because of this? Seems like it would cause more lag or unnecessary waiting for games to load or download client side.



Dedicated servers is a great improvement, but that really isn't an improvement with the Xbox1 its self. They could have made that great change on the 360 with the 10$ a month they get for online play... 500$

No, it looks like you're trying to mine for anything to put down.

OnLive doesn't have those problems AFAIK, XB1 definitely won't, especially with the vast amount of servers.

As far as that other comment, Microsoft was periodically adding servers with some of the Live funds. Now they're just making leaps and bounds.

Is 10 people having complete access to one another's gaming library not something to praise? Beats the hell out of anything similar Sony is doing.

You make me sound like I'm praising PlayStation over Xbox... I have little knowledge what ps4 is doing.

I've always been xbox>playstation for the online experience alone. Which I heard PlayStation4 is going to be pay to play online too now so that might change.

I wasn't questioning the servers, I was questioning what additional strain on the clients internet these downloadable/streaming games would have. If the access is as open as you make it sound that is indeed impressive, but I have a hard time believe it doesn't have limitations and/or catches of some kind past what you're making it sound.

As far as servers go, it's really impressive. ATM it's at 30k I believe, and the service is steady and reliable. Personally I prefer it over PSN servers. XB1 servers will exceed 300k, though. I can only imagine.



Holy crap.

good read
