All XBONE games to have dedicated servers - Step your game up Sony!

Yeah that's largely why I shy away from fighting games.

It may also be why SE chose to keep FF Dissidia strictly Ad-hoc, however the general pace of that game is much more forgiving than most fighters save for a few exceptions like Zidane.

To be clear, I didn't mean you were pissy.(Hope it didn't come across that way)
Wasn't the first Halo on Xbox p2p? I remember there being something where if the hosts could hit the standby button on there modems and it would cause ridiculous lag for the other team, making it incredibly easy to win.

The majority of games on every console have been P2P with a few exceptions (MMOs, and certain games from EA like battlefield).


I'm still amazed that COD Ghosts will have dedicated servers for BOTH systems - especially after Eric Hershburg (sp?) was recently asked about them and said they'd never do it due to costs.

Dissidia is stymied by the fact that to play it on the internet at all, you have to go through Ad Hoc Party - a virtual tether to the PS3 - and then go online through that. Considering this also makes it even more difficult to do matchmaking as most console games natively would, it also probably contributes quite a bit to lag - and if you think Dissidia is forgiving on inputs, you've never played through the Spiral Chaos section.

Playing it locally with another PSP or Vita owner would be the only realistic option for competitive play.

If SE decides to revisit the series, they'd be wise to do it for PS Vita and PS4 so they could include proper online matchmaking. That and add some villains to the roster and a story about them - we've had enough focus on the goodie-goodies for now. Let the warriors of Chaos have their day. They apparently had a lot of them anyway.

I'm pretty sure Dissidia 012 had villain stories - or at least, fleshed out some more back ground info on some them (the stuff with jecht was golden).


I'd love to see a PS4 version ^^
