13 Crucial Questions For 2017's Biggest Video Games

10. Will Cloud Computing Revolutionise Gaming? - Crackdown 3

The Question: Crackdown 3 isn't merely content to make use of the Xbox One's powerful architecture, but will also employ cloud computing to render persistent, city-wide destruction during an online play session, apparently allowing more detailed carnage than ever before.

Will this spark a cloud computing phenomenon in multiplayer games, will it remain a nifty novelty, or could it fail altogether?

The Likely Answer: If there aren't launch issues with Crackdown 3's cloud tech, it'd be a major surprise, especially considering it by its nature has to be tied to an online connection. Don't be shocked if there are massive launch day woes and, even when it's all ironed out, gamers on the whole ultimately consider it a lot of fuss over nothing.

We'd all love to be wrong, of course, but the complexity of the technology seems destined for some big hiccups, which could scare off other developers who might otherwise be interested in it.
