If you want to bring up things as not being innovations, please do not bring up 1 vs 100.  The server infrastructure necessary to handle 200,000 simultaneous(playing the exact same game instance) requests within milliseconds of each other is quite impressive.  What MS is doing with Primetime is something that no one else has done.

i guess MAG is innovative as well than?

MAG is 256 players, 1vs100 is over 200,000 connected at the same time, MAG doesn't sound so good now does it......

Thanks.  Took the words from my mouth.

seriously now....

comparing MAG an action first person shooter game to 1vs100 an avatar quiz game?

seriously?

$70? you were ripped off then as you can get a year for less than $30 if you look around.....

my point still stands. why would i pay for something that i can get for free on PS3 and Wii?

You pay for what you get, I would much rather pay for Xbox live as I get a quality service that I LOVE using, PSN on the other hand, I hardly ever use it and it's free! free isn't always best as clearly seen with PSN and the Wii online features lol.

I'm happy paying for Xbox Live just like the 15 million other Xbox Live Gold users, it's a quality service that always stays ahead of the competition, its the free services always trying to play catch up....


i havent actually tried xbox live gold, but pc is free online gaming (unless you play MMOs) and its pretty darn good.

Yes because they are BOTH online games and BOTH use an advanced online system, just because they are very different games doesn't mean you can't compare their online systems...

Yes, PC gaming is good and free most of the time but we are talking about console gaming in this thread, nothing to do with pc's :)

so by your logic , Runescape owns both because it has more people online at the same time.

give me a break...

So Runescape has the capacity to recieve 200,000 requests, handle them, and return the respones in a mere couple of milliseconds?



Excerpt from a 1 vs 100 developer post:

"Two years ago, our team was asked to develop and implement a new kind of game. Our guiding principles: it had to be scheduled like a TV show, it had to be social, and it had to support hundreds of thousands of players at once. "Above all," we were told, "it has to be big. It has to be something nobody has seen before. Go big or go home."

Now, as we've wrapped up 1 vs 100 Beta and are getting ready for launch, I think we've accomplished that goal. We've faced some big challenges along the way, and done some things no game has ever done before. We've hosted a game with over 100,000 concurrent users in the same session. Doing that required designing a new server architecture, different than that used by traditional MMOs--we didn't want to shard groups of users into their own sessions on their own servers. Everyone gets to play together!

Speaking of servers, 1 vs 100 is synchronous in a way no other game is. Hundreds of thousands of users playing a game show together means that most of the players, most of the time, are making the same server calls. 1 vs 100 is so synchronized, in fact, that everyone is making those same calls within a couple of hundred milliseconds. Our server was designed to handle that kind of traffic. Some of the other services we use are not; they handle heavy load by assuming that requests are evenly spread out over time. This required some fancy footwork on our part not to overload our partners' servers."

Please read my post above.  It doesn't seem like you understand.



btw let me ask you guys is 1vs100 have any action in it? except for answering quizes?
on MAG its a FPS, the server tracks every bullet and tracks every movement and command and voices and every different player, its an ACTION game for fuck sake.

do you guys intentionally make yourselves in denial like that? , it seriously make you look dumb.
