If Halo Xbox One uses cloud graphics processing, how would that work for an offline LAN party, or at a hotel with no internet? Will I even be able to play at all when my internet goes out for a few days like it does sometimes?
I wouldn’t mind playing with downgraded graphics offline, as long as I still get to play.
The first part was what Microsoft wanted to do because it would provide them more profit, considering it’d have to be online all the time for it, and no trade in games. I protested against it, despite knowing how the outcome of cloud processed games would be because the ethnics behind it were terrible.
A price we had to pay to keep ourselves sensible and responsible, but the Xbox One alone is still capable of making some pretty good looking games.
Basically they will push the console to its limits with graphics and everything then use the cloud to further more to boost the graphics and A.I.
The game will still look fantastic even offline, the cloud is to allow them to push it even further so I wouldn’t worry about it right now. the cloud will be probably used two years down the line, it’s too early right now to properly use the technology.
It isn’t used for graphics . Anything that is used for the CPU can be off load to the cloud. Although it can make games run better on the xbox one because company’s don’t have to spend much time working networking stuff anymore, but only if they use the cloud during production from the start.

It’s not just running games better, it can improve A.I, render bigger worlds and much more enemies and also improve gaming experiences like horror games for an example where they can use the kinect to register screams and send that to the cloud so it can provide the best scenarios to terrify people. There are also other possibilities as well, Microsoft knows more about this than anyone since they put 10 billion into researching this cloud technology.
Cloud processing is not intended to directly supplement graphics processing, it is for AI and scripted event processing.
The world is rendered on your Xbox but the RAM used to process where and what is happening happens server side.
