About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6883 DaysDuring the public beta, many of you wanted *way more* Ranked-Dedicated servers to play on so you could level-up and earn awards, rank upgrades, etc….
Well…ask and ye shall receive!
In addition to players being able to host their own servers, 32-player “dedicated” servers for your clan practices or 24-player “player” servers, SONY has made a great commitment to all of our Warhawk players by staging Warhawk Server clusters similar to this one all over the world.
Somebody needs to send this over to the Live team, STAT. It's possible at present to have dedicated server type setups on Live. I think a couple of Xbox 1 games even allowed you to set up an Xbox as a dedicated server (Counterstrike and maybe Unreal)
In any event, it's not being done on Live on this scale and certainly not for free. Will be interested to see how they might fund it as it's sure to be costing a bomb. In game ads or micro-transactions for in-game content maybe?

Don't ask any questions just shut up and buy Halo : Ghosts of the Onyx one of the greatest books ever.
pssh! more like electronic gay-ming monthly! amirite
Since 7015 DaysThey may run their own match-making servers but that's hardly the same thing. FFOW looks to be the first 360 game with dedicated servers.. and 32 player support as well.
2) WarHawk looks cool.. and it's cheap. I'm getting the retail bundle though. Useful pack-in ftw.

Since 7015 DaysJust needs a killer app.
I wish I played the beta Jedi.. how is the non-warhawk gameplay? Does it compete with other online console games?
Since 7653 DaysIt's silly because consoles are not very effective servers, simply because they lack the memory to host multiple gameservers for lots of players (especially the PS3 with only 256MB dedicated systemmemory).. It would have been much more efficient to use normal dedicated x86 servers with lots of memory.. But that's not much of a PS3 PR stunt offcourse, so I kindof understand..
And yes, I want dedicated servers on XBL aswell.. But I sure hope MS leaves the BS marketing and PR out of it, and just uses normal x86 servers..

Since 6883 DaysPR stunt all the same it's still kinda cool.
Since 6751 DaysZones gameplay is awesome aswell.
Since 6986 Days1. A multi-core PC with "lots of memory" isn't cheap -- and it ain't multipurpose to play PS3 games and server PS3 games.
2. PS3 games run fine on 256MB of system memory, so running the client of the same game shouldn't be an issue. Seeing as you won't be storing any audio, user interface, nor most art assets you just lowered the demand on system memory compared to the actual game.
3. Seeing as Cell can read from GDDR3 (and RSX can just copy content back and forth very quickly) the PS3 effectively has 512MB of system memory -- and it doesn't have to deal with the 30MB framebuffer either.
4. Show me a $600 PC that has a very fast multicore CPU, G70 level graphics, and BDR and can a) be used for high level gaming and b) server a secondary role as a server. Now show me one that can do that and serve 4 or 5 32-64 player servers at the same time...
Sony is in the console market, not the PC. Using the PS3 as a dedicated server makes a lot of sense. It relieves some data facillity needs from Sony's end -- hence keeping their service as cheap/free as possible -- and it allows users to control their own servers. And they are multipurpose. Your friend can bring his over for a LAN style party and serve (and do split screen on a PS3 or two), you can host games online, and when not in use if you have 2 PS3s you can a) use one as a media center / HD movie center or b) do system link with games like GT and such.
I know a *lot* of people who have extra PCs that run as single client game servers -- and they are only servers and cost more than a PS3. Heck, we even done that at my old office to play BF1942. If we could have got a PC that would have served well as a server as well as a gaming station and all the other stuff the PS3 does, yeah, that would have been way better.
