| thismeintiel said: I'd say they just stumbled a bit. It cost them Titanfall 1 sales, but TF 2 will probably be fine. I'm sure it will sell the most on the PS4, regardless of the XBox exclusivity for the first game. What I find more interesting is that TF2 will prove that the cloud is just a bunch of PR nonsense. I doubt they will use any kind of cloud processing for TF2, instead using the HW to do AI, and the game will end up better looking and run smoother than the first game. I just hope that Respawn makes a much more fleshed out single-player campaign. |
Actually how will Titanfall 2 prove the cloud is nonsense. You have absolutly no clue how Titanfall 2 will be developed. You also have no clue if EA/Respawn use Azure or some other cloud platform for the PS4. What you do not understand is that the AI is the least of the reason why you need a cloud platform for Titanfall. The ability to spawn a dedicated server anywhere within the world close enough to gamers to keep pings low is the reason for the cloud platform. Before anyone says dedicated servers are not part of a cloud infrastructure, do some research and understand what PaaS is. The thing is, Sony will either need to provide the same ability or EA/Respawn will need to eat the cost. If EA/Respawn does not eat thge cost then you just might not have dedicated servers on the PS4. They could do P3P just like now.
