You know... we probably don't need to worry about hard drive space much longer

Or give us a bigger hardrive from the jump

They have repeatedly said that the cloud is what allowed them to put all of that into the multiplayer.

Some of the animations, the grunts, some of the stuff I the skybox, all enabled by the cloud.

Sure a similar game could have been made without it, but it wouldn't be the same.

Its a new way of making games, obviously the first couple attempts won't be the best examples. How long did it take 3d games to stop being a ugly clunky mess?

Again, what is in the multiplayer that could not be done the way it's been done since last generation? The animations are not mind blowing, the grunts running around aren't any smarter than previous online shooters that had bots.

This has nothing to do with development evolving, its more of a networking issue across the country and most importantly the world. Relying more and more on remote hardware gets tricky when you have a consumer base that expects 1:1 response in feedback. Can it happen? Yeah, whatever I don't have any doubts that it will get there eventually. What is annoying to me is how there was this HUGE push at the start of THIS generation acting like the cloud on the xbox one or Gaikai on the PS4 were going to amount to anything.

It's amounted to a very small part of the user experience so far and proven to be completely overblown as a mass marketing push to the uninformed consumer. That shyt is annoying as fukk to me.

The animations are more complicated than any other multiplayer game. They are more similar to what you get in a single player story experience, then what you'd get in multiplayer. Embarking and ejecting from the nuclear self destructing mech would be considered a "set piece" in single player games, but in titanfall you can just do this at will all throughout the match.

The grunts weren't made to be smart, but the fact is they wouldn't be there without the cloud.

Again you are making this strawman to attack. Micorsoft was very honest about the capabilities and the expectations for the tech.

You took one quote from a marketing guy and ran with it, while ignoring the countless other statements about the tech.

Where was it overblown? Other than that one quote, which you misrepresent anyway?

If anything its Sony that lied about "the cloud"

They got up on stage and talked about shyt that will never happen
