The difference between PS4's Gaikai Streaming Service and Xbox "Cloud"

Here it is in simplest terms possible. . . When a developer builds a game on PS4 with Gaikai Vita/Galaxy Stream support . . that means the developer's MAIN PRIORITY is to make the game run perfectly on the PS4. THATS IT. The developer builds the game for PS4 and then AFTER the game is complete they can add support for Gaikai streaming service which for most part is up to Sony themselves to build. THe developers do very little work on actualy Gaikai support and do not have to worry about ANYTHING but making the game run perfect on the PS4 hardware.

The Xbox "Cloud" bullshit is that Microsoft thinks that developers will take the INSANE risk of having graphic assets on the Xbox Hardware and then somehow do some insane work-around to add Internet provided "Cloud" Graphical assets to mix in flawlessly with the Xbox Hardware. . . so Microsoft wants developers to somehow not just make the game run perfect on an isolated Xbox One console but somehow do the impossible task of mixing in "Cloud" Graphic assets on top of XBox One graphic assets and make it run perfect. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, No developer will EVER take the risk of doing that because that means they have to build these imaginary scenarios like Xbox One + Perfect High-Speed Internet + Xbox Live + CLoud + Mixing in X1/Cloud graphics etc instead of the PS4 approach of just making the game run perfect on the BOX ITSELF, which is by far the simplest and most logical way to build a game.

SO basically Gaikai = Dev's build game on PS4. Gaikai may/may not be added AFTER GAME IS COMPLETE and running perfectly on PS4 itself with no other worries.

Xbox "cloud" graphcis = Dev's building half of game on X1 and creating theoritical scenarios of perfect internet connections to add graphic assest MIXED IN with X1 GRAPHIC ASSESTS. . .

If you had any idea of how insanely difficult it is to create and build Next-Gen games you would understand.

Gaikai = Real

Xbox's Cloud = Imaginary

So basically Xbox One has an unlimited amount of power.

Onlive failed guys.

Kneel before TEH CLOUD!

Gaikai = Real

Xbox's Cloud = Imaginary

Obviously_Right

sauce?

Gtx 690 is ancient history now due to TEH CLOUD. 

No, if i had a choice between PS4's RAW superior Tech Specs with a 50% increase in terraflops and DDR5 Ram compared to a "THEORITICAL" increase of 50% terraflops on some imaginary "cloud" service THAT NO DEVELOPER MAKING NEXT-GEN GAMES WILL EVER RISK DOING than I would take the PS4's raw power. This whole CLoud bullshit was a last second play by Microsoft after they found out that PS4 has superior Raw power.rhodes1

Lets see who lasts longer. Ever improving graphics in the cloud or hardware that is always the same. 

Which one has more servers?gago-gago

Onlive had like 8000? Gaikai was smaller than Onlive.

Azure has 300,000 (or will have by the time XOne launches)

Gaikai is being used to sell you backwards compatibility for old games, no more no less.

Xbox cloud is 300,000 servers built specifically for enhancing Xbox One games which basically has infinite power.

The difference between this gen and last gen is going to be the cloud, and Sony is not going to be a part of it.

holy shit at the stupidity in this thread @ both sides of the fanboy war.

So much bullshit :lol: This thread needs deletedRR360DD

I honestly don't see the big deal about the cloud gaming. Its been around for awhile on PC and its never bothered me. My problem the Xbox One is its anti consumer shit they are pulling. Not any these "tech" problems.

Two different things. People seem to forget that SONY already said they'll have Cloud computing on the PS4 back in February in the reveal. Cloud computing and Gaikai are two different things as well. Gaikai is something separate to solve the BC problem. Nengo_Flow

the cloud is bullshyt and gaikai looks like sony spent years trying to figure out a way to make multiplats look and run even worse and this is the solution.

so how many transistors are in the cloud?

That's what really matters.

Cloud wont do what xfans think it can for games on x1. 

Truth: Xfans have to use cloud to try and make up for the hardware in the x1 being so for behind PS4's hardware. 

No developer will EVER take the risk of doing that because...

rhodes1

You're right. Because thats not how any developer would use a cloud service.

Xbox cloud will work like Xbox Live. Gaikai will be gimped like PSN.

They must always justify the costs of gaming on xbox and always act like xbox has better hardware & software. 

Truth: There is no justification for being charged for everything when the company charging is the richest company in America with insane profits & PS4 has better hardware easily than x1, but again they must always act like it doesn't. 

Admitting the truth isn't within the possibilities of an xfan's mind. 

Truth: MS could more easily afford to not charge for online gaming, used game fees etc than Sony. 

Most of what you said is utter trash, and is just added to the pile of hate on the X1.
