Giving it to another studio is not them (Respawn) targeting anything of the sort. That's the publisher.

5 DDR3 vs 7 GDDR5. Get it right journalists!
Clearly, the only viable logical explanation is that the other studio is more capable.

well computing cpu and ram memory is different. they're just saying that what ms lack in ram, they make up for it in cloud computing.
Well then this sounds moneyhatted to me. If the game will run on the 360 there is zero reason it couldn't run on PS4.

When your average physical server in Azure has 64+ GB of ram and intel xeons, nope.
I am guessing hosting the gameworld + AI + physics on servers requires more ram and cpu power than what's available in the next consoles.

Highly doubt shorter because EA would have to pay MSFT money for that...and you know how EA is lately.
LOL; I shouldn't have questioned!!! But it will be interesting to see how it actually plays out. I huge win for MS (which I am sure was nicely paid for). Can't wait to see the game in action next week and download the issue when it's back up!!
Dedicated servers cant be multicore now? Wth is this post?
It is still worth being excited about. I don't think one game has had such an effect on a whole genre this much since Street Fighter II and now they get to step away from CoD and try all over again.

Well dang this is a rather big piece of news to wake up to. I'm excited to see this game in action next week and rather happy about the fact that obviously Microsoft isn't ignoring big games to get a year of exclusivity. Definite incentive to buy this console.

The only thing worrying me is the constant talk of kinect integration. If its too much then I'm out, but if its simple crap like voice commands then they're not really giving me a good reason as to why its compulsory.

Yes, lets just pretend like a full year of exclusivity means nothing...MS touts getting CoD DLC 30 days early, this is the full game 365 days early

It's 7GB available to devs.
Has nothing to do with PS4 hardware, they must have struck with Microsoft for timed exclusivity. The cloud computing they mentioned all falls within the domain of server-side functions in an online game, and it's only "cloud" because they're using Microsoft's resources to do it.

I know,just put every possible option in my reply
Hahahaha, that comment with your avatar really got a hearty laugh outta me. I don't quite have the vitriol towards FPS games that a lot on this board have. I only play the one's I like so I'm not burnt out on the genre. Besides at-least it's a Sci-Fi setting with fucking mechs! I'll take that any-day over a military shooter and I don't even hate military shooters!

or.... that its true and the Azure cloud computing is needed for what they have developed.

Technically anyone can use it, even the Wii. The problem: who is going to pay for it?
MSFT basically is giving everyone in the development side a huge tool (and it is huge) to work with for free, with the consumer paying for it through royalty purchases and LIVE fees.
If Sony wants to try something to compete with MSFT, it won't be free, unless Sony wants to destroy their operating margins.

I won't say it's "rumor",because it's too easy to change
That bit they spoke of there is probably PR talk peaking through saying that it could only be done with the cloud. I mean, they are releasing the game on the 360, and as far as we know right now, the cloud ain't helping with that product or they could have just kept the 360 around.
My guess is that Respawn either has a PS4 and knows it'll be super easy to port it over but went with the quick cash money hat first.
you have to keep in mind that its not set in stone. microsoft might continue to pay for exclusivity. this may be the exact same situation like last gen with gears of war 1 (which had a pc release aswell)

Resources that no one except Amazon have that's comparable.
The game is also coming to PC, heavy kinect integration would surprise me.
In terms of sheer numbers certainly, but there's more companies capable of running online games on server clusters.
It's possible that these kinds of games end up being Microsofts advantage. Games that claim to need the cloud, lol whatever.
The downside to that is you will probably have to pay for XBL to play a game whatsoever, single player or not, and your game is, of course, useless when the servers shut down.

Of course you'll have to pay. Servers aren't free. But the online gameplay should be stellar versus P2P which was most common last gen.

On GAF? Whenever it fits someone's agenda. With that said, has CBoaT been wrong?
Where are people getting this timed exclusive idea from? I have read no where reputable that states it will arrive for any system beyond the 360, One, and PC.
This thread is just a breeding ground for rumors, it'd be best if everyone would just wait until E3 to let Respawn iron out the details.

Not surprised at all cboat about that. I don't think Respawn would pass on putting it on PS4 and Microsoft knows to keep complete exclusivity on this game would have cost them way too much.
that was a question raised by GI not confirmed yet that 8 or even 7 is available on ps4. 5 is confirmed for x1

Ugh i didn't said it's fact?
It's easy to change because MS can pay more money to make it exclusive longer,and CBoaT can't control that
This person is spokesman of Electronic Arts?
