They claimed the Xbox One (the original last gen model) would be decades ahead of any other competitors because games would be, wait for it, cloud hybrid. Some things would render locally, but Microsoft servers would calculate complex collisions, volumetrics, crowd AI, and so on.
Guess what never happened.

Pass. As much as I dislike PlayStation after the issues I had with the ps4, I’d sooner swap back than use a cloud console

Copying my comment from another thread:
You’d think Microsoft would calm down on the cloud after the massive Xbox One failure and underwhelming results of their live service games like Halo Infinite. Guess they never learn.
-
Guess how I’ve been playing Starfield on my Xbox One? I’ll give you a hint, it starts with a C and ends with Loud.
-
I guess you don’t know what the fuck the cloud is because neither of those have anything to do with it.
-
Cloud-Centric company that shows no signs of understanding the art of gaming wants to force people to subscribe to cloud gaming services? I’m Shocked!

Don't worry y'all. By cloud it's just gonna be dynamic ads.
But for real, background animations and details could be streamed through another device having to render that something. Anything that doesn't revolve around the gameplay itself.

Boo

Steamdeck 2 is all I need.

I'm not buying another Xbox seeing that Samsung is putting Gamepass on thier TV's with no extra hardware required except for a controller....

Nevermind the fact that everyone is doing cross-platform multi-player games. One of the main advantages of console gaming is everyone is running the same hardware. If that's the future, then I'll just play on PC.

This sounds familiar. Haven’t they been promising this hybrid cloud computing since Crackdown 3?

modular thumbsticks
Hmm.
So is this modular thumbsticks akin to the Microsoft Elite controller, where you can put taller or shorter stems on or different tops?
Or is it like the Thrustmaster eSwap Pro, where you can remove the entire mechanism beneath, and put something else in (like, say, a more-expensive-but-immune-to-drift Hall Effect thumbstick)?

Isn't what they said about the last two next-generation Xboxes?

Good luck with that one. Highspeed reliable Internet does not exist everywhere. I'd rather pay for a gpu then deal with garbage gameplay.
