Titanfall to take advantage of Xbox One cloud benefits
There's another reason for Microsoft to truly push for its cloud gaming dream. One of its upcoming titles, Titanfall, has revealed that most of the grandness of its game relies on the Xbox One's power in the cloud.
"The Xbox group came back to us with a way for us to run all of these Titanfall dedicated servers," said Jon Shiring, Titanfall engineer, in a statement quoted by IGN. "[That] let us push games with more server CPU and higher bandwidth, which lets us have a bigger world, more physics, lots of AI, and potentially a lot more than that"
IGN lists down a couple of advantages and benefits of having servers backing your game, which include ensuring that matchmaking actions will be very fast with player interconnectivity with the servers, removing the need to migrate hosts to use the Xbox One's other features like Netflix, and ensuring that hacked-host cheating won't be an issue.
Shiring adds that with the Xbox Live Cloud, the benefits can even surpass online multiplayer hosting, because there are loads of ideas that can be explored and pushed. Build can be a great avenue for Microsoft to reveal more on what they plan to do with their cloud gaming feature.
Xbox One: Ugly or Amazing?
CNBC has discovered something fun to experiment with regarding the Xbox One, two search engines, Google and Bing, and the different reactions of people to the next-gen console.
According to the report, the two engines have varying search results, with Google listing down unfavorable comments from it being "terrible" to it being "a joke" after you search for "The Xbox One is."
However, in Bing, it shows the opposite, with the search engine completing "The Xbox One is" with "amazing." Although when only typing "The Xbox One" on Bing, a higher search reveals the completing phrase as "will fail."
Is this any indication of what the market thinks of the Xbox one at the moment, despite the policy reversal for used games and DRM announced last week?
