Hey, Tina. Add me on XBL sometime. *wink*

just as soulless and bland and lacks any distinct art style

Average might be around 20-25(?), but under 30 and you're good.

It's the ping that's the issue for latency, actually. You will need a good connection regardless to have a great stream, but the latency is in the ping.

I'm down.

Yeah I actually can, 'cause it's a dumb theory.

No, it wasn't.

That's not what he meant. By "earlier" he means it should be playable earlier, meaning you work to get it right the first time. That's not so much crunch as it is being more effective during the software design phase and minimizing bugs. It's something that's always stressed in software development.

It doesn't matter whether the Kinect was optional or not, they were working on software optimization beforehand. That's the point. That's why it doesn't matter.

His initial reply, before he edited and made it a gif, was "does it matter?"

Exactly. You're losing nothing.

Sure does make your comment pointless.

It's not a "worse choice" because it works whether you have one or not; it's all software. Did you not read?

No one "won." There isn't a "winning" of E3. Continuing on with this crap is annoying.

That's Titanfall.

I'm excited for the Master Chief Collection as a whole — I was meaning to get CE Anniversary and never did — but especially Halo 2's multiplayer. Fuck yeah Lockout.

hahaha this is awesome.

If the connectivity is lost/server fails, there's a couple ways to resolve it: do them locally — in this case they'll probably be smaller calculations/less intensive on the CPU; cache them locally — which may not work in the case of destruction in Crackdown, but it's an option.

It's not circular at all because the ACTUAL issue the OP was discussing was a connectivity one (due to server load, what happened with SimCity, crashing the servers), which XBL doesn't have, and the cloud computing shouldn't have since XBL works well in that regard; it had nothing to do with it doing cloud computing

It doesn't matter how you break it down, XBL is a testament to the reliability of their Azure services. So yes, XBL works well because Azure works well. And you can look around for other products that use Azure; iCloud comes to mind.
