The Cloud vs The Cell. Most ridiculous buzzword?

Looks as if Microsoft are going the route of hyping Teh Cloud analogous to how Sony went about hyping Teh Cell last generation. .

So, which of these two buzzwords seem the most ridiculous to you (if ridiculous at all)?

 i would say the cell was a lot worse because they spent billions developing it where as the cloud is just old tech with a new name

 they spent billions developing it

1. First off, billions? That can't be accurate to even the nth degree
2. Both are real things that will contribute to video games. It took developers a while to dig into the PS3 architecture and when they finally did we got a game that looks like The Last of Us. I do believe that the cloud will contribute a lot to the Xbox One and the PS4 as well if Sony invests in it as much as Microsoft will.

Well lets see...

The Cell was a over-exaggerated processor that wound up being more complex to code for.

The Cloud is the millions of MS Azure servers coming together to offer new options to developers. Cloud tech is a REAL thing, its how things are going to work in the future. The best part about the cloud? It only gets stronger and stronger.

So ill say the Cell was more ridiculous, because The Cloud will actually do something for gaming.

:roll: wow great stuff. /thread

Teh Cell, I think. When they called the PS3 a supercomputer that will replace the PCs, that was LOL-worthy. Teh Cloud pales in comparison...

Cell because Cows are way worse fanboys than lems

I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about the cloud, but I do know that MS spends a huge portion of its R&D into cloud development. In 2011 Bloomberg reported they spent 90% of their R&D budget on cloud strategy. It is more than just a buzzword to them. Clearly they are planning on the cloud being a big part of the future with gaming being a part of that future. Whether that turns out to be the case we will see.

I think the cloud is. It's successfully fooled millions of dumb people that something new and innovative is attatched to their devices but in reality it's the same shit that's allways been there, just under a different name.

Teh Cell actually helped the PS3's weak GPU

What in the world has cloud done? lol

Its just a fancy word for interent. Lems need to accept that it won't make games look better or play better and we'll all be fine.

Can't disagree here :P

Maybe it's unfair to judge The Cloud just yet one way or the other. Xbox One still has yet to drop.

People! What's stopping Sony from using the "cloud" as PR too.

Why don't Sony cash in on this term too?

(I think I'm getting this hate language...cow = ps4 fanboy/ lemmings = xbox fanboy) lol

Lems idea of "Teh Cloud":

"I'll be playing Gears 5 and the cloud will send in more textures and better graphix!! :o "

In reality:

"Have u seen the cloud? ..anybody?"

Anyway what has a better reputation today.

Gaikai or Onlive.

Well the Cell achieved nothing last gen. We can't judge the Cloud until we're well enough into the generation to know RR360DD

Are you a self ownage machine? geez lol.

GT5?! :lol: Good one

I'll give you TLOU though, but thats purely down to Naughty Dog being one of the best devs in the world. Nothing to do with that fairytale Cell

Dude I think it's only right someone tell you...

GT5 far outsold forza...

& the notion you would concieve TLOU to be a flop is completely beyond my comprehension.

I don't get how these are flops lol

The Cloud is the future. The Cell is yesterday's trash.FoxbatAlpha

Both games hyped to high heavens, both games achieved 8.0 :lol:

Therefore, HUGE flops

Dude forza isn't a flop at all. It's the trusty racer Xbox relies on & consistently delivers/ sells well.

Anybody who remembers the cell days know how much worse it was then than the cloud now is.

Gears of war was a flop, sorry bro.

Nowhere near as big a flop as TLOU and GT5, but still a flop :cool:
