Marketing fudge to try and equal PS4 specifications.
There is no way you will see cloud gaming increasing fps and enabling higher resolution anything.

If a game relied on cloud computing,
if your not on the internet, I'm guessing you can't play the game

No game will "rely" on cloud computing
MS have suggested games could offload some of the background processing for low-latency stuff, if desired.

That unimportant its not even worth Microsoft mentioning.
Please no.
For each Xbone in your house there will be 3 Xbones in the cloud for you to use for a start.
If they force a camera and mic to be connected to the PS4 it won't be going anywhere near my house.
Was it MS who said that and why is that BS?

How will cloud computing work on a slow internet connection?
It's touted as being there for low-latency background calculations etc., so a slow connection isn't necessarily an issue.
No doubt there will be some minimum requirement though speed wise.
Well I don't hold much hope for console cloud computing. My virgin 100mb line has problems with over subscription, streaming problems and also virgins traffic shaping software. Add that with average latency times and variable ping rates. Also, how much data will be going up and down. Some ISPs also have limited usage caps.
You only have to play MMOs to see what cloud based computing does. The amount of times i see the word "Lag" mentioned, is uncountable now.

They have made various bizarre claims including the cloud will make each XBone 40x more power than the Xbox 360 and 3 or 4 times as powerful that the current XBone. Attempting to give the impression that via the power of this cloud, the XBone’s subpar hardware will become much more powerful than it actually is and more powerful than the PS4, resulting in better gameplay, graphics etc. When pushed on what it will improve they came up with things like lighting can be sent can be sent to the cloud, processed and beamed back along with other bizarre claims.
When in fact none of this is possible for numerous reasons, hence pretty much boiling down to MS BS.
Next time put in the effort and research yourself, then you wouldn’t need to rely on my "expert" opinion

Hence the always online connection requirement? Wonder what happens if you are not online.

What are the numerous reasons this is not possible?
And why are you getting so touchy? you clearly know more about this than MS so your expert opinion is most welcomed here?

There is no always-online requirement, just once every 24 hours, presumably for DRM purposes.
If there is no net connection, a game will fall back to the internal hardware. Possibly there may be a dip in framerate, some reduced effects, who knows? Depends how the system works and the games are coded.
