Should allow for those with slower connections to play without issues
Worry not, Vektan dogs,Killzone: Shadow Fallwill feature dedicated servers. Speaking at Eurogamer Expo in London this weekend, lead designer Eric Boltjesconfirmedas much whilst fielding questions surrounding the multiplayer experience in Guerrilla Games’ forthcoming PlayStation 4 shooter.
“Killzone Shadow Fallhas dedicated servers hosted in various regions around the world. These servers do not run the logic of the game – they only act as a hub between the clients, forwarding network traffic from one player in game to all other players in game. This allows people with a slower connection or strict firewall settings to play without issues.
“Almost all logic relating to you (e.g. moving, shooting and taking damage) runs on your local PS4, with only a very small portion of the game logic (i.e. mission/scoring logic) running on the ‘session master’, one PS4 in the game selected for its connection quality.”
