Editorials
One of the larger sections in GameSurge, here people express their opinion on
a wide range of topics. You may not agree with them, but that's why it's called
free speech.
Our latest editorial:
- Generation X and Pinball -
By Agent 86
" Being a member of "Generation-X" myself - I'm 20 - its rather heart
wrenching to be a member of a group that is considered partly responsible
for "killing" something I enjoy - pinball. All over the news you hear things
rumblings of how pinball is dying off, how kids have lost interest, how its
a game for the older generation but after this past Friday I can't help but
start to question all of that."
- Netcode Rebuttal
- by Mannon
" The new netcode uses Lag Compensation. Lag Compensation (not "control")
is not client side prediction of hits. Hits and kills are not awarded this
way. The server still retains authority. (Thus the references to Diablo are
also erroneous.) What happens is that the sound effects, weapon animation,
ammo depletion, bullet hole decals, ect... are handled by the client. Blood
can also be switched to client side prediction, but defaults to server control.
All of these are essentially cosmetic. As are all the other client side implementations.
Those are all just sideshows compared to the main event, though... Lag Compensation."
- GameSpy Arcade - by Sim
" GameSpy has released it's latest creation. No, it's not another
Planet, it's GameSpy Arcade. This beta version is a user friendly program
that "matches people with each other and the PC games they want to play. It
supports everything from the hardcore action classics -- like Quake or Half-Life
-- to classic, board, sports, or strategy games." It's a big program that
not only includes server hookups (as in GameSpy3D), but also tons of chat
rooms, instant messaging, and a mini web browser to boot."
- Diablo Revealed
- Raven has written exclusively for GameSurge a article on the features that
were missing from the Blizzard game Diablo. Entitled "Diablo Revealed, this
opus, spanning 15 pages of text and special screenshots, details the missing
quests, some of the graphic elements missing from the final release of the
game, and offers proof that Diablo was going to be a very different game than
what was actually released. Diablo was the only Blizzard game to be released
on time, but maybe they should have worked on it a bit more.
- Netcode Crack and Debacle.
- by Crepidus [WT]
"Valve made a very bold move with their latest implementation of netcode
for half-life 1.1.0.0. This is a giant step backwards with respect to
technological trends. What a debacle, and here is why: *I've tested both as
a modem and DSL client. The hit scoring and position prediction are weighted
towards the highest common denominator of ping, leaving a Low Ping client
with a completely unrealistic experience.* In an attempt to reduce lag and
even the playing field for Clients with High Pings, Valve simply “Castrated”
the playability of Low Ping Clients."
