Forums - Microsoft - Dedicated server support added to Section 8: Prejudice on XBLA

joystiq

Well, this is certainly unexpected. No Xbox Live Arcade game to date has been afforded a dedicated server option. That is, until now. TimeGate Studios has announced that its recently released, multiplayer-centric title, Section 8: Prejudice, now allows Xbox Live players to access and play on PC-hosted servers through GameServers ... for a small fee.

Dedicated servers can host ranked or unranked matches with support for up to 32 players. The monthly charges will run you $1.29 a player, plus a little extra something something if you want to purchase support for a standalone voice chat program. You can place your order for a dedicated server for the XBLA version now.

The more I read about the game the more interested in it I get. May really have to get this now that it has dedicated servers.

actually, im fairly sure no xbox 360 titles have either as all (including halo) run on P2P network servers. I know of 1 PS3 title (Warhawk) that does, otherwise its all P2P servers too.

from what i read on homefront's forums, the servers for consoles suck and act like P2P servers due to the amount of lag and reaction from the "server". I did see the PC version has a lovely tool for it though.

Glad I got it on PC then lol. Was going to get it on xbox but none of my buddies are getting it so I got the pc version. Hopefully this game will have better servers than.

Left 4 Dead 2, Homefront, Gears 2 (as of the lastest big title update), section 8 and all BF games use dedicated servers on 360. Most ps3 exclusives besides Uncharted 2 use dedicated servers.

Anything with matchmaking tends to have P2P servers. Reason being is that they act as if there is a physical server without there being one. The servers most companies speak of are actually the servers for the PSN interface that processes the data between all users. Only issue is that since all players are getting updates from all players at once instead of having a base server processing all actions then transmitting the results you get lag.

L4D2 360, might, if there is a way to access the server browser in the game you can tell, but I doubt Microsoft allowed that update.

Even Portal 2's co-op uses a P2P server base.
