When I lived with better internet I’d get really good pings and never had a problem playing games unless it was per to per, like cod or something like that. So even if you live two blocks away from the server you could get bad ping if your internet net sucks. Azure isn't going to be the greatest experience for everyone, besides if you playing someone across the country what's the chance you're going to be hitting the sever closes to you? Maybe you're on the one closes to him. Now what happens if you get thrown in the mix with people in another country? Do they cut that out?
What happens if Sony lets you run your own sever? Like folding at home, but instead of cloud computing you just turn it into a server when you’re not using it. Hell I’d buy a second ps4 just for that. |
This is where the match making servers come into play. Spin up server and then match people to that servers with the highest ping. This is what the CDO developers stated they were doing.
As for Sony letting you run your own server, that could be a good move for them. It could give them something unique that MS is not doing and it could balance the cost of renting servers from a company like rackspace.
