MS has the infrastructure for it already built in. Sony has well ???????????????????????????????????????
Gaikai will be able to stream ps2 games in 2015
Right...but if it is available, why wouldn't devs do it? As the years pass, I would imagine the constant usage of an established dedicated server system would significantly decrease the possibility of "Day 1 server crash" that most top tier online games experience.
2 years into the Next Gen life cycle, a broad dedicated server system will run efficiently and most likely more dev friendly, it can't be a bad direction.
Them not having to worry about "covering up" potential poor hit detection on the X1 would be a godsend for me, as I am a strictly multiplayer gamer now.
Why chose majority p2p, if X1 will have a broader and more "dedicated" approach to better online experience?
At this stage in the marketing of their systems, has Sony released any info that they are going into that direction?
Some want control of their own servers. That's all.
The games I'll be playing online multi on this launch both use dedicated servers so I'm good (BF4 and KZSF). The free 2 play games use em by default as well.
I'm big on NBA 2K, BF, CoD(I hater MW3 and all BOs, but will be a sheep and get Ghosts), Tom Clancy Games and Rockstar games...
Something just doesn't sit right if we are waiting for devs to do dedicated servers when some haven't done it already.
A system that is making it a standard for dedicated server play with no need for a dev company to foot the bill to establish their own dedicated servers means smaller companies who will be able to bring great online innovation can benefit from dedicated servers also.
Alot of the time, a smaller market game would flourish if the online played smoothly, setting them up for higher profitability and chances for sequels.
I like that.
But if the dev already HAS their own shyt.....
Not hating, but if you do use peer 2 peer matchmaking when dedicated servers ARE available. That's kinda weak (NBA 2K I'm lookin at you - even though i'm not coppin the next gen version of it this year)
I'm out, gotta flight to catch.
