E3 08

So I keep hearing about this whole 256 players in MAG is too much and that it will create massive lag. Obviously the people who are making the game know this and must have some way to deal with it, wonder what it is.

Remember probably a year ago there was something about Microsoft looking into some technology to create truly epic battles or something where you could have a Lord of the Rings epic fight with 1000 players in a server and be almost completely lag free. Something about using the players nearest to you to download something something...I don't remember. Think they could be using that?

If it's true this shit is gonna revolutionize online gaming....

It would be interesting if they made that second FFXIII title a must for someone to completely understand the storyline. Well, it wouldn't be as interesting as it would be hilarious.

Or not. You aren't going to interact with 999 other people at once, the rest might as well be AI. That's the problem with such huge numbers. We don't know if 256 is going to be properly exploited to actually mean something.

From the way I understood it, leaders of each tier give orders to the players below them.

And obviously with the money these companies have they can't research a way around it right?

[killerx]

so there is more to see tonight right?

[Maxxthepenguin]

Money isn't the problem, the question is why are there 256 players? Is it to give it a bullet point or because they thought of an important reason to get that many players. That's the vitally important thing that we don't know.

Ubisoft definitely doing their presentation backwards; best model always seems like casual into core instead of backwards ._.
