So what's the story, will the PS4 offer dedicated servers for Ghosts? If not (which I can't imagine is the case) then that would be a HUGE blow to Sony. It seems like this news would qualify as some sort of megaton, no? I'm just surprised that this thread has so few responses for something potentially so big. What am I missing here?


Because we are all assuming it will have dedicated servers on PC and PS4 as well.  In fact I swear they already said they will on PC somewhere...

On PC probably, since that is Windows/Microsoft and can use the same cloud/server tech pretty easily.

On PS4 I wouldn't be surprised if games are still stuck using P2P unless they decide to pay for servers on maybe a per game basis or make the publishers fork it up for servers.  Gaikai won't be ready till 2014 and I don't think Sony has ever once mentioned having dedicated servers as part of it or any other offering.

As a competitive multiplayer person, if Sony does not do dedicated servers, they will lose lots of hardcore gamers after a while.

-Gaikai is used for remote play and it will be ready at launch

-MAG, Killzone, Resistance, SOCOM 4, and BF3 all used dedicated servers and ran flawlessly.  It won't be hard at all...

yes it will be.... Gaikai infrastructure is a streaming platform.... unless they run Azure/orlean... it's not like they are dynamicaly allocating resources.....  it's like cars it's not because you have 60 race cars that you will be easily able to participate in a dirt race if they are not equiped or ready to do so....

then you have location....  yeah they might free up or even put brand new servers here and there... but nowhere close to MS coverage, nowhere close to the number of years they'll be able to support them, and nowhere close to the amount of space and resources MS can allocate....

people must stop smoking fumes and get real..... if MS cloud is PR BS... Sony being able to even have in its line of sight MS server/cloud infrastructure is a pipe dream even less realistic than betting on a war veteran with no legs to beat Usain Bolt at a sprint race.... IT WON'T HAPPEN EVER.... it's a financial impossibility end of story....
