"On the other hand, the client-server model works with any size or physical layout of LAN and doesn't tend to slow down with a heavy use" While P2P is completely different and is even listed in the above link "Comparison to peer-to-peer architecture" Server/client has 2 forms, dedicated and listen and you stated the difference of dedicated and listen. Server/client is the best solution for the type of games we are talking about. P2P is how games like Crackdown1/2 COOP, Army of Two, and others work. With crap like EA and the slightly less evil XBL/PSN, NONE of our games MP will last, they will always have an end thanks to greedy companies.īlackKnight 3901d ago (Edited 3901d ago listen server is completely different than P2P. I should be able to, I own the game, MP has ALWAYS worked without "services", until gaming got popular and companies what to make money and force new purchases. I still play MP once and a while of games from the 90s. And I bet MS will shutdown all 360 games MP at some point while their new system is out. The "life cycle" of the PS3 was claimed at 10 years, while this doesn't mean a PS4 can't come while within that life cycle, it could mean ALL your PS3 games lose PSN access in 2016. MS already shutdown xbox 1 XBL service, lets all hope Sony doesn't do the same with PS3 when PS4 is out for a while. Meaning ALL our console games are in jeopardy. What I think is another horrible MP life issue, is how XBL/PSN need to being running to have MP work. So if they shut down the stats/matchmaking/"login& amp amp quot to their servers, your entire MP is gone. However, they MAKE you NEED their servers for the sake of needing them. Stats and ease-of-use matchmaking would go away, but you could still play your games forever. The dev isn't running anything that will compromise the MP COMPLETELY if they shutdown their servers.ĮA should take off the dedicated servers, sure, but let us run our own listen servers just like we do in the above games.Ī games multiplayer is NOT dependent on the devs running a service. Gears of war (gears 3 will be a mix of dedicated and listen) Games with listen servers (meaning some one is host, many people call this "P2P", however P2P is completely different than listen servers) Instead of MP being totally gone when they remove their servers, let us continue playing on our own systems (listen servers).
