    Does this mean Tim Langdell has announced Twilight by Edge, and a multimillion dollar lawsuit then?

    Edge's "Of Twilight"

    and a kind offer to sell them the license to Edge for $100 Billion!

    I'm still hoping that EA screw this guy for every penny he has over the Mirror's Edge / Mirrors by Edge thing.

    Very pretty art style. Hope the story and gameplay can do it justice. Is this still coming out this year, or did it get delayed to 2010 like everything else?

    *goes to check but is too lazy to report back*

    EDIT: *actually I have a minute...*

    I see TBA 2010 pretty much everywhere. From what I could find in 30 seconds, anyway.

    Why wouldnt they... MSFT provides NO servers for their service ... it is all hosted by the host. So this is no different, only it might be a bit smoother in latency.

    @EnigmaNemesis: Actually, MS does provide LIVE Servers (for sale) for hosted games... very expensive servers ;) They don't run a Gamespy style-hosted servers (Gamespy {reads: IGN} hosts most of Wii and PSN games).
    This intrigues me if MS is actually letting people host on their own hardware from a consumer-grade platform. If so, the future for Indie games on LIVE could be exciting.

    wait what? they expect you to buy you're own servers? I'm trying not to bash here but i recall that MAG has it's own dedicated servers for free. BTW i do understand that you may already own a usable computer. still a hassle though.

    @notijkabob: Read the article again lol, the game will have its own dedicated servers but the devs are releasing server software so you can host your own if you want, with the added benefit of doubling the player cap.

    Just rememebr you'll need a dedicated server. Your upload ain't gonna be fast enough to run this at a decent speed with 32 folks all plying at once on a home connection.

    @deanbmmv: Just curious, any idea what kind of speeds are required for a small server? I've always toyed with the idea of hosting one in house temporarily for friends, just to play with settings.
    I've got around 5mbps up, so I'd hope that could at least handle a -few- people? Maybe?

    @vwllss. has lost his vowels: You have 5mbps upload!!
    Yeah go ahead with the whole 32 players.
    [speedtest.net] give this a shot first too.
    Most home connections should do you fine and dandy to host maybe 4-6 maybe push at 8 depending on what your connection is like, but expect a bit of lag especially if your not the only one in your house that uses the net.

    @deanbmmv: yup, this is my last speed test
    [www.speedtest.net]
    I've got some torrents running, otherwise I'd test again, but they're usually pretty consistent. On a bad night I'll drop down to 20mbps down and sometimes 3.5mbps up, but the upload speed is much more reliable than the download.
    I'll have to check out running L4D on my PC so I can increase zombie caps and stuff.

    @deanbmmv: Have you ever really hosted a game server before? It doesnt use up that much bandwidth, a friend of mine hosts a 16 slot TF2 server on his ADSL2+ connection (24mbps down/1mbps up) on a laptop and its fine, I have hosted games myself from time to time and this is on my PC that I use all the time having the same connection speed and I know that connection is terrible but we live in Australia :(

    @DrunkAus: Mostly hosted RTS's. DOW, Sup Com (which slows to an unbelievable crawl) etc.
    Not really FPSs. I've actually being trying to sort out a TF2 server for the Kotkauites group. If I can have it running decently for 20 or so folks it'd save alot of cash (as we only have a few matches per week)

    SouthPeak can make cross servers between consoles, with each server having up to 40 people active at all times, while Atuls/Sony/From Software cant even make a cross continent server for semi active hundreds of people with 1-4 active ones?
    They probably can, they just dont want to, the bastards.
