Forza 5 Only Xbox One Title Using Dedicated Servers

James Black of SpawnFirst writes: "When Microsoft pitched all of the Xbox One’s features way back in October, one of the major selling points that accompanied the system was the promise of free dedicated servers and cloud processing for all Xbox One games that would have some sort of multiplayer functionality...However, with the eventual launch of the Xbox One, eagle-eyed users of NeoGaf began to notice the distinct lack of dedicated server support in a variety of games."

I thought COD was getting it (there was a big thing about that a few months ago)

MS lied again. Shocked!/s Then again, MS broke Xbox sales records after saying "DRM is good, sike". Xbox fans actually defended MS DRM plans./sad

ThePope3774d ago

Your one bubble, doesn't defend poor grammar!

stuna13774d ago

@ThePope

But that still doesn't dispute the "NatureOfHisLogic"!

TheFanboySlayer3774d ago

Well I dont think they lied...it is possible but idk it is up to the publishers I guess. But if no one is using the 300000 servers then thats a huuuuge waste -__-

brich2333774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

They lied. They even lied about 360 cod getting dedicated servers.

dsswoosh3774d ago

Neogaf wrote the article.

It must be true.

*rolleyes*

shoddy3773d ago

I trust neogaf more than MS

Christopher3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

Yeah, I don't think this is true at all.

Battlefield sure ain't using em

KRUSSIDULL3774d ago

They are using EA's own but look at that not always good.

Pascalini3774d ago

Companies have the choice

Cod etc uses it's own servers

How is this not obvious to people in the industry?

Just delete this article and move on

mikeslemonade3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

Samething as PS4. Companies have the choice.

kickerz3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

So companies have a choice to use Sonys own 300 000 servers ? Man this is news to me :S

Evilsnuggle3773d ago

Kickerz@
Well yes SONY has more than 300000 servers. More of m$ propaganda And spin. Xboiz thing that m$ invented and owns every dedicated server In the gaming world. SONY has a partnership with Rackspace to provide dedicated servers to SONY. So yes PS4 and SONY as have dedicated servers.

"Just delete this article and move on"

That's usually the attitude you people have when something you have been shouting from the high heavens gets proven wrong....."delete the article, nothing to see here". So many times ive seen you people say something like "XBL on X1 is superior because of dedicated servers!"...."300,00 0 servers!"....."PSN SUCKS!".

Humble pie indeed. Just the usual lies and deceit from MS.

@Cueil "if a company choses not to use the free dedicated servers Microsoft offers then that's on them..."

I agree, but MS promised their customers dedicated serves for EVERY X1 game with MP functionality....they lied.

Cueil3774d ago

if a company choses not to use the free dedicated servers Microsoft offers then that's on them... EA, Activision, and 2K are jokers who use their own crappy servers

DanielGearSolid3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

"Lying to the customer" ?

Are u kidding me?

Are you insinuating that theres a person out there playing COD that feels betrayed because he got 10 kills and 15 deaths on Activision server rather than a MS server?

Edit: Replied to wrong comment

jackanderson19853774d ago

can you provide a story that has a direct quote from MS saying that every game will have dedicated servers? i remember them saying they'll have 300k available for all games but not the actual promise that everyone will

GarrusVakarian3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

@jackanderson

As a matter of fact i can!

http://www.gameinformer.com...

""Can you confirm if the free Xbox compute resources includes dedicated servers for all Xbox One games?""

"To the question, Penello answered, simply, "yes."

I don't know about you but where im from, that's called a lie.

jackanderson19853774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

that just says that they have the resources available... it's up to the publishers and the devs to actually take them up on the offer... can't force it on a major third party

the dedicated servers come in with the buy in for the Xbox Live Compute ( http://news.xbox.com/2013/1... ) doesn't mean they're enforcing it for every game they're just offering them with the XLC

Karpetburnz3773d ago

This is ownage to the hardcore Xboners, remember when they all said "XBL will be waaaaaay better because we will have dedicated servers for EVERY game" but the reality is its up to the developers to use it, and obviously many third party devs wont be using Microsofts servers because they will have multiple systems to develop for.

Except that's still funny , i could swear i saw some radical xb1 fans claim they had a better experience and service , in games like cod , unlike the so called "hybrid" for the ps4 .

Hell i can even drop one name , Nukeitall .

But of course let's conveniently sweep everyone's misconception and mistakes Under the rug

Volkama3773d ago

I don't see any citation that confirms COD:Ghosts in not using Live's servers. Just Neogaf speculation.

I mention Ghosts because MS and Activision specifically announced that the game would use the servers, so it'd be news if that's a lie.

A couple of 2 player co-op launch titles using peer-to-peer is not so much newsworthy.

PR_FROM_OHIO3774d ago

But,But we have 300,000 servers!! LOL Sure Microsoft smh

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551730d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1730d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1730d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2421d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2421d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2421d ago (Edited 2421d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2421d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2420d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2421d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides
