TimeGate is teaming up withGameServersto offer dedicated servers inSection 8: Prejudice, the recently released downloadable first-person-shooter.
“Dedicated servers traditionally exist solely for the PC platform,” boasts the team. “PC players embrace dedicated servers because of players’ ability to host high-capacity servers, private sessions, configure game types, and generally customize their play experience and environment.
“Section 8: Prejudiceis the first product on the Xbox 360 platform that allows players to run PC-hosted dedicated servers, allowing console players to enjoy the same high-performance, tailored dedicated server experience that PC platform players have enjoyed for many years.”
It amazes me how the developers of a $15 indie game can offer dedicated servers, yet a number of online games from major publishers like Activision don’t even include host migration. I guess that’s the difference between someone who gives a crap and someone who doesn’t. Good show, TimeGate!
