5 Features Next Gen Multiplayer Will Fail Without

MP1st - "With all of the hullabaloo and “leaked” news stories lately regarding the impending release of the next generation of consoles, it’s hard to believe we’ll have to wait much longer to get our grubby mitts on the Playstation 4, Xbox 720(?), and, of course, the already-announced Wii U."

Majin-vegeta5274d ago

Completely agree with this list.

Skip_Bayless5274d ago

Agree but bots are not necessary. That would inflate stats. Usually it's much easier to kill a bot than a human.

Spitfire_Riggz5274d ago

Maybe if bots were incorporated into all unranked "social" multiplayer modes? And removed for ranked modes?

SilentNegotiator5274d ago

More post-launch support with non-paid DLC would be nice, but with how unresistant people have been to paying $15 for a few maps of modified SP levels, I don't see this trend increasing.

Nitrowolf25274d ago

wow I agree with all of those. I know P2P can be pretty good and all sometimes, but Dedicated server is an absolute must same with server list. I mean I hate not being able to find a match in some games, a server list would be nice.

SilentNegotiator5274d ago

Microsoft already makes us pay $60 a year for the "privilege" to play in mostly P2P servers. Can you imagine what they'll charge if ALL servers are dedicated?

Nitrowolf25274d ago (Edited 5274d ago )

Didn't disagree. A price hike for something Like that would be utter BS unless MS hosted all the servers themselves for every game.

There are already dedicated servers for some games, which are hosted on the developers side. This is where I can understand the whole Online pass, but for games with nothing but P2P it doesn't make sense (i know Online pass wrong place but still).

PSN is pretty much the same as XBL P2P,but it has a lot more dedicated servers for games.

"Killzone 2 featured an excellent server list that offered players control over map selection and variation, weapon selection, and game mode and time limits. For some inexplicable reason, this feature was cut for Killzone 3, and the game was a lesser title because of that loss."

This is one of the many reasons why I hated KZ3 and why KZ2 > KZ3.

Also, all first person shooters next gen should have head tracking.

Criminal5274d ago (Edited 5274d ago )

Head tracking would be great if it's well implemented. I don't this Kinect can do it justice at the moment.

Outside_ofthe_Box5274d ago

Yeah, it has to be implemented well. If it's tacked on you might as well not have it.

Nitrowolf25274d ago

KZ3 story might have been an improvement, but yeah the MP seemed like a step backwards with all the stuff from KZ2 taken out.

HeavenlySnipes5274d ago

the story was better. It actually didn't make any sense. After KZ2, you see loads of Helghan ships preparing to deplo and rape the rest of the ISA forces. I thought that this would mean that we would have to SNEAK through the nuked city to find an isolated point for evac. Instead, we just march through the streets and see little to no resistance. WHY THE FUCK NOT? We then end up (with only 60 ISA soldiers) taking out the MAWLR and destroying the Helghan nuke that was meant for Earth.

Also, WHERE THE HELL IS NATKO????

TheFirstClassic5274d ago

The story didn't make a whole lot of sense, Killzone 2's was nothing amazing but at least it was easy to follow.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic507d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23507d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1507d ago (Edited 507d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger498d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.

“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”

This is pretty dumb to say the least.

Cacabunga624d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149624d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades624d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel624d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox624d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play624d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie624d ago (Edited 624d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper624d ago (Edited 624d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000624d ago

I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.

Rude-ro624d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper624d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?
