Reasonable on 18 January 2010
| JaggedSac said: I would just like to dispel a few misnomers going around. 360 games can use dedicated servers. Forza 3 does. L4D does. 360 games can have consumer hosted servers. It is called XServer. Section 8 allows this. 360 games can have user generated content. Forza games do, Halo 3 does. There has been free DLC. Forza had some, Burnout had some, L4D had some. And yes, this developer was speaking about the services MS provides for online functionality. |
Just to be clear in my earlier posts (not sure if you saw them) I'm not saying Live doesn't have any free DLC or UCG just that, so far as I know it's more restrictive on how - for example Forge in Halo 3 vs true mods in UT3 on PS3 (which never took off ironically).
The other difference (for now anyway) is Live is a 2 tier system, with Gold/Silver which affects things too - for example no BBC iPla
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
