Once news on Xbox One , this time concerning the ability of cloud computing infrastructure that Microsoft will offer developers. As previously announced, the authors of titles for the new console can count on a vast online server architecture which will entrust the most onerous computations and real-time, not as the precalculation of physics simulation parameters or dynamic environments, lighting and so on. To make you understand, it's a bit like when you ask Google Maps for smarphone to calculate a route, or when you use speech recognition: these operations are not conducted by phone but are made online, in the cloud.

In this regard, the Group's leader of prototyping and incubation of Xbox One, Jeff Henshaw, explained to OXM that for every "true" console built, developers will be able to rely on the equivalent of three Xbox One on cloud; this applies both to the processing capacity for data storage. This, according to Henshaw, will allow authors to video games to create broader and persistent worlds, without having to worry about maintaining huge server.

Obviously these possibilities would be available only to the console connected online, and Microsoft said in the past that the developers will be encouraged to ensure that their titles can also be operated without the support of the cloud, although this would preclude certain advantages.

Everything looks very interesting on paper and great potential, but need to understand before you get enthusiastic if and how they will really enjoy these features: let us not forget that, at the revelation of the PS3, Sony announced something very similar by explaining that the Cell processor would allow the console to connect to each other and take each other's dead times CPU to turbocharge each othersomething that has never happened. We look forward therefore to understand what on paper looks like a big advantage for Microsoft, the console will also become in fact.
