What is being lost between platforms? This is not a topic for FLAME WARS just one so that people can make an informed decision about which platform they would like to get BRINK for.

PC has dedicated servers where the consoles are P2P if I'm not mistaken. Beyond that I don't know of anything else.

Consoles are P2P? gah, hated that in CoD, i think Battlefield is dedicated, much better in my experience

Servers vs. P2P. That's really it.


In interviews they used all the same assets and are near identical.

P2P is awful, but only done because dedicated servers are expensive to do. BFBC2 had dedicated servers for all platforms. Splash Damage probably couldn't afford servers for all 3 platforms so they just chose PC. If they chose PS3, X360 fans would be mad, and vice versa. SD is also a major computer-gaming company, so... it makes sense they chose PC over consoles when it came down to money.

I think it was mentioned in another thread that in order to do dedicated servers on consoles, they would actually have to rent them out from Microsoft/Sony.

I just don't want to have one of those awkward on the box moments in fine print at the bottom "...by the way consoles get shafted and you only get 480p resolution, can only play as resistance and we have no multi-player right now SEE YOU NEXT YEAR".
