Respawn Entertainment gives more detail about the Cloud and Titanfall

[Fei-Hung]

Good read, but it leaves me with more questions:

1) MS said 300k servers yet the author avoids stating exactly how many dedicated servers their cloud will have. If there really 300k dedicated servers, those numbers would be rolling of this guys lips, not dancing around it.

2) in regards to single player games, how much memory does Titanfall or Forza AI eat up?! I only ask this because if it isn't gigs worth, then PS4 could easily support this with the extra memory it has built in.

3) in regards to MP, is the author indirectly saying that other cloud services cannot it anyway or shape make this cloud computing service available?! I'm not a techie, but it seems to be a software service within a hardware set up. It's only the software side Sony and other publishers are lacking.

4) most Sony published titles if not all run on dedicated servers and games like Killzone have always had a dozen or more AI controlled static turrets, non static flying and companion bots. How many more AI controlled characters / androids/ vehicles/ mechs will we see on Titanfall?

5) how deep will the AI be for them?


Another thing which is really odd is how this guy went to both MS and Sony yet all the official interviews say the opposite. Officially, MS went to them a long time ago and offered them their platform and services to develop this game for and due to this act, the game was built originally for this system. There can only be 3 possible reasons for this:

1) official statement and interviews are lies
2) this guy is lying
3) both statements are correct as this is a multiplatform game and Sony have also been approached.

If statement 1 is correct, it's stupid of Respawn to lie over such a stupid thing as they could just say they are exclusive because out of the 2, they preferred the MS set up. They didn't say this. They said it was due to being approached by MS for this project when Respawn was set up they chose to go Exclusive.

If statement 2 is correct, what a silly thing to do and for what purpose?! As what he says doesn't add much if anything at all in regards to substance and what most of us didn't know already.

If statement 3 is correct, does that mean the PS4 version will be gimped and should be avoided as the cloud computing is essential for making this game work and no one else can replicate it?!
