The Cloud Lives! Jokes aside, nice to know, multiplayer will be great

Mostafeto4112d ago

Yeah sure it will dedicated servers is always a good thing and stable to use in a multiplayer game

SlavisH24112d ago

dedicated servers is a win, always!

vlashyr4112d ago

Damn right, I still can't fathom how some games still use P2P in 2015...

hello124112d ago

Watching a GDC developer talk how it works, so far its seem to be exactly like x box live on x box 1. So Windows 10 will have x box live and its not going to be different at all interesting.

I have used servers on PC they are not as smooth as x box live-so i am happy to use x box live for PC too.

Rather depends on the server location and quality. I've enjoyed sub 20ms latencies on Quake 3 servers over a decade ago, and Titanfall can't match that today.

What Azure does offer is consistency. Rather than the odd well-located server to queue for, there are an almost endless amount of "good" servers available to just about everyone just about all the time (excluding South Africans apparently...).

n4rc4112d ago

Depends where you live again..

I get ~20ms to the nearest azure datacenter for titanfall..

What I notice as huge differences between now and a decade ago is how far you can be and still maintain a decent latency..

I could play on the European servers (from Canada) and be sub 100ms.. Even Japan was only like 170..

Volkama4112d ago

@N4rc indeed, i wasn't trying to imply nobody lives near a Microsoft datacentre. I was disputing the "I've used servers on PC and they aren't as smooth" comment.

I think Microsoft's hosting is great, Titanfall was consistent and reliable on all platforms. But it's not like a decent server is a Microsoft exclusive.

StrayaKNT4112d ago

Thats good news cant wait for this game

WCxAlchemist4112d ago

Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor.

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor845d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar845d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...

10 Highly Anticipated Video Games That Never Saw the Light of Day

There have been so many games from major developers that we have been excited to finally play, that somehow, in some way, got axed before they were ever completed.

It's time to take a look back, and pour one out for all of the lost brothers and sisters of gaming that were taken before their time.

Deep Down is never going to see the light of day

porkChop2938d ago

Shame, it looked pretty cool.

IamTylerDurden12939d ago (Edited 2939d ago )

My top 10

Star Wars 1313 - This was my if Star Wars and Mass Effect had a baby, sorta..

Silent Hills - P.T. nuff said.

Deep Down - Visuals were stunning. Capcom, please.

Agent - it has become the R* version of TLG.

Bioshock VITA - It was legitimately planned and in the works, until it wasn't..

Visceral Star Wars - Visceral, Hennig, 3rd person Star Wars action.

Scalebound - Looked awesome early on, other than the Beats By Dre..

Prey 2

Infamous VITA (rumor)

IamTylerDurden12939d ago (Edited 2939d ago )

Infamous VITA was a rumor. It was to be called Infamous: Electric Souls and Nate Fox pretty much promised me. Darn you Nate.

The Santa Monica space RPG was a shame. Too bad SSM has such high standards, i bet it wasn't that bad.

gamerpop2938d ago

Star Wars 1313 and the recently canceled EA game were big upsets.

Raven7222938d ago

Fable Legends? Really? Every other game on that list I can agree with but that. That game never had hype. It had artificial hype from people who wanted it to be more than what it was looking to become. It was hardly ever spoken of outside of list wars and some poor schmuck who was forced to write about the game because it made an appearance at some convention. It wasn't what people wanted. They wanted a proper Fable game. They got a garbage asymmetrical multiplayer game in the vein of Evolve but even less exciting.

The 10th Rider2938d ago

Eh, I think the original concept was decent enough, even if it was nothing spectacular. However it felt like the more and more they showed the worse it looked.
