ok so in the past i have seen games that have peer to peer but are very laggy , but somehow somtimes they work just fine... im not sure what the difference is in the connection but it will work sometimes.. so this is a question designated towards the developers and plz answer if you can... what is your take on making a peer to peer conection for the consoles, basically im asking what are you going to do about the lag or have u already fixed that problem..... so if u can plz respond either the devolopers or anyone who would know the honest truth to that question...

How bad the game lags on peer to peer depends on the net code as well as how good the connection of the host is. Also the more good connections in the game the better it will run but the host is usualy the main factor even though others can effect the game.

so would that mean that pc would have a better connection because im debating whether to buy it for my 360 or pc

It really comes down to which you like playing on more, Im sure SD would make a good net code to make sure lag would be minimal on consoles but no matter which system your on there will be moments of lag. I have played on dedicated servers for both PC and console and had horrible lag as well as none at all, same with PvP. I would rather get it on console since I dont own a rig good enough to play it on PC.

im really perinoid that if i buy it on a console the lag will get the best of me but if i were to buy it on my pc im not sure what would happen i dont have the greatest computer in the world either and the fact that i have not seen the system requirment for brink on the pc im starting to get really nervous about what to do

There are no developers to be found here. However you can find them at http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17

dedicated servers means it's all down to the connections, not the host, wich would make pc the better option if your afraid of lag.

and don't be afraid of the requirements, brink is working on an outdated engine, though they have seriously modified it it should easily run on older setups.

so

so would you say that the requirments would be no more than 2 gigs of ram and a moderedtly decent uprgraded graphics card because my computer has 3 gig of ram and a AMD Athlon™ II Neo K125 (1.7GHz, 1M L2 cache) + ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4225 Graphics chip and i guess i could always put more ram in my computer if neccessary

we don't have any specific requirements yet, so i can't say sorry

PC gets servers... consoles get shafted....

nice... awesome being appreciated.

Question to the Video Game development Industry.... why oh why do you presume that console gamers are mindless moronic casuals?

I want ded servers
I want server lists (not matchmaking)
I want customizable controls


Are these things unreasonable for all platforms? no, not at all... but for some reason many devs forgo some or all of those on their console release, while doing it for the PC release.

I'm tired of quite frankly being so grossly insulted by game developers for my choice of gaming platform.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to pick the best game server to join comparing Ping, #Players, Game mode/map, etc and choosing what best fits you. I guarantee I can do a better job picking then ANY "artificial intelligence"

Just cause I prefer a level playing field, and gamepads over mouse/keyboard, does NOT make me mentally handicapped.

Please stop treating me so.

Well ... consoles do have that really casual idea behind, while the PC as a gaming platform is more and more abandoned, because it's too much about competitive/hardcoe gaming.

Because consoles get all the exclusives and PCs get nothing, it's payback.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Can we please not start a PC vs Console war here. Or I am sure this thread won't be around for long.

it has nothing to do with the game devs, it's up to Microsoft and Sony to allow dedicated server access for consoles, it would allow for user created conrent which wouldn't be under their control and therefore they couldn't charge for it. Consoles are all about the money, not customer satisfaction. Look at Black Ops, nearly unplayable because of lag and still the top first week seller.

Don't blame the game devs when it's the nature of consoles to be system exclusive

^Yup. That's why PC gaming is the better, can have dedi server.

wasn't there some game with dedicated servers on console?
i believe there were a lot of complaints about it, could have been just a rumor though

I believe you are thinking of Section 8.
You could set up your old xbox and make that into a dedicated server.

You can blame Treyarch there, though. People say on consoles the lag happens, if you have too many friends in your list, because the game keeps updating them (Youtube-commentators are screwed ). And on PC it happens, because BlOps is probably one of the worst ports ever happened.
