that was a BAAAAAAAAAAAAD game.
The PS3 seemed to have been fairly successful until the "keys" were leaked and it became apparent these keys stayed the same and weren't random lol. Randomise these and I'd bet the ps4 is a pita.
id give it a year to 18 months, BUT with the vast majority of games having online elements people will be missing out on a lot of the social side of it. but i guess if your stuck somewhere with no internet that doesnt matter.
to be honest i bet console piracy for the ps4 and xbone will be lower than previous generations that have had it due to the online elements of the games.
True, the online element will be epic. I can see this saving me a lot of money down the pub.
Any idea if spit-screen will be an option in most major FPS titles?
not a clue really, big titles maybe not but i wouldn't be surprised for stuff on psn+ having it, old games being ported over. all depends on the devs and if they feel there's a market for it. after all they will want to try and have a strong online multiplayer element to sell more copies rather than having split screen for people to share.

That's down to the developers I would imagine, whether they feel it's a needed feature any more. It's not something I've used while gaming for quite some time.

nice one. hope it's not laggy
technically the ps3 could, its down to weather the devs and publishers pony up for servers that can hold that amount of players or not.
one thing id hope they do this time around is allow people to use their own servers like pc gamers do. so a clan can hire a dedicated server which they control. its doable its just the issue of allowing the games to do that.
BF4 supports 64 players. It's nothing new though, MAG on PS3 supported some crazy amount of players I think.
I've used Gaikai and didn't have any lag issues with that, but I suspect it would just come down to the reliability of the connection wherever you are, haven't used remote play outside the house because only original PS games and a handful of other titles support it, so really happy it'll work with every PS4 game
Seriously doubt it will be many, which is disappointing because I still play split-screen but I'm likely in the minority
Ah the cost of N64 games at release.
I thought Turok was pretty good at the time TBH, especially the fog-o-vision
Yeah I thought so too. Not sure if I got my moneys worth though but I did complete it a couple of times.

256 players
ps3ud0
it didnt really because all those players were split into different battles which put together were part of a larger scene.
but player 1 couldnt actually get to player 256 because they were completely seperate and they were just playing at the same time.
the biggest true online multiplayer game i can think of has 40 and that was resistance, yet resistance 3 only had 16 online multiplayer, so they have actually decreased the number over time.
maybe a game like minecraft could support such numbers on the ps3? or a basic rpg where it loads constantly as you travel around.
anyway it's dedicated servers which are restricting them from making such numbers possible, you really need the processing power and bandwidth of a dedicated server when you go into high numbers of online multiplayer.
No you weren't. Many a time I've run over to another area of the map where the other players were when my team was being crap.
Little off-topic but it would be great if games that use dedi-servers for online also had p2p built in for when the servers are turned off, don't really see this happening though but I wonder if there's any games already with such a system in place
