[2695.82 --> 2701.26] uh something that i had sort of envisioned uh a number of years ago uh what's that uh what's that
[2701.26 --> 2709.58] game ever play savage no so savage was uh let me let me make sure this is even the right name savage game
[2711.90 --> 2713.82] savage battle for new earth was this it
[2713.82 --> 2724.78] i think this was it so did i ever tell you about those lands i used to run at uvic yeah with like the
[2724.78 --> 2728.94] huge amounts of computers across multiple computer labs on multiple floors all this kind of stuff we
[2728.94 --> 2734.62] would play savage because this game supported some crazy amount of players i don't remember the exact
[2734.62 --> 2741.90] amount of players that it supported but we could have doesn't say labs versus labs going on oh the
[2741.90 --> 2749.50] other one to 127 players on the team are field players yeah okay i actually didn't know this was an
[2749.50 --> 2754.86] actual thing this is exactly what i wanted yeah so this is an old game but it's a very good like land
[2754.86 --> 2760.70] pack you've got a huge amount of people for some reason you want to get everyone into the game and
[2760.70 --> 2765.98] like it was always really fun because if i remember correctly this was like redstone like redstone was
[2765.98 --> 2773.90] in this game so i had redstone in my head i think it was called redstone pre-minecraft and uh you'd
[2773.90 --> 2779.50] have a whole lab you'd have like the the leader of that team or the leader of that lab go like we
[2779.50 --> 2784.30] need redstone and then the whole lab is just like redstone you see everyone in the game just run over
[2784.30 --> 2789.42] to go get it it's so much fun and you have to fight each other and you like level up and you spawn
[2789.42 --> 2795.26] into different things and it's like this whole combat rts mix like one person each team is playing
[2795.26 --> 2801.74] an rts game right all the other players are playing like the minions it's it's it's old it's very old
[2802.38 --> 2811.66] interesting but it's it's fun so imagine that with like a thousand people yeah and yeah super cool so uh
[2811.66 --> 2817.66] if anyone i i was really into supreme commander that's one of the games that i was most into out of
[2817.66 --> 2823.10] any game like i think i was top 500 at one point which it wasn't a huge community but i was pretty
[2823.10 --> 2833.02] good at it um imagine for a moment did you ever play subcom i did a little bit okay so it has large
[2833.02 --> 2838.14] vehicles like i forget what they were called but they were like tier four tier four vehicles um that
[2838.14 --> 2843.34] were like these huge things where you could potentially man something like that with like 20 or 30 people
[2843.34 --> 2851.74] so imagine a 1000 player version of something like savage with just like kind of and the way that um
[2851.74 --> 2858.70] subcom had a lot of really cheap swarmy type units yeah so imagine a game like that with 500
[2858.70 --> 2865.82] b 500 with like all these different roles so you could potentially run around as a marine or you could be
[2865.82 --> 2871.98] uh like a gunner on like this you know big land crawler tank thing or being a heli with three dudes
[2871.98 --> 2877.18] how much of a blast it was like local voice and you like had to engage in local voice so if you're
[2877.18 --> 2884.54] in that giant mammoth tank with 20 people you've got like the the driver like telling what's coming up
[2884.54 --> 2889.66] telling people to like reload different sides all this kind of stuff you actually have to use like
[2889.66 --> 2895.34] your comm system to talk to anyone that isn't nearby like this sounds like a gaming experience that
[2895.34 --> 2901.66] would probably be too hardcore for the fortnite kids oh i'd love it though but i think it's the kind
[2901.66 --> 2907.74] of thing that could be a completely different level of fun one thing i really really enjoyed and
[2907.74 --> 2912.22] i know you haven't played this game but it's called it's called black wake um and i was really hoping
[2912.22 --> 2917.98] this was what uh microsoft's pirate game was going to be like but it wasn't really but i don't even
[2917.98 --> 2923.58] remember what microsoft's power game is called at this point um but in black wake you drop into a new
[2923.58 --> 2927.90] game and you're on a you're on a pirate ship you're sailing in the ocean and you have to fight other
[2927.90 --> 2934.22] people's pirate ships but your your captain like it's you're in first person view and you really
[2934.22 --> 2937.98] can't see all that much if you're if you're the one doing things on deck right and you have to like
[2937.98 --> 2943.58] get the gunpowder and get the the cannonball and you have to shove the gunpowder in the thing and
[2943.58 --> 2947.42] shove the cannonball in the thing and then load the cannon and then you can aim it and fire it so
[2947.42 --> 2952.46] like you can't look where the boat's going so the captain has to sail the boat and then like bark out
[2952.46 --> 2957.02] like i'm lining up for this side like port side port side and everyone's trying to reload the cannons on
[2957.02 --> 2961.18] port side the captain has to yell out like there's there's a hole below deck so it has to run below
[2961.18 --> 2966.38] deck and try to patch it and bail the water out and all is so planet side 2 free to play massively
[2966.38 --> 2972.94] multiplayer first person shooter um that has uh the guinness world record for the biggest first
[2972.94 --> 2979.18] person shooter battle with 1158 players being recorded in a single battle i don't but this doesn't
[2979.18 --> 2986.70] have the rts element yeah i don't personally think it captures the same the same idea um but it is i i've
[2986.70 --> 2991.18] played a bit of planet side 2 it it is sort of like that but i yeah i don't think it quite captures
[2991.18 --> 2996.14] the same idea right part of the reason for me is i believe planet side 2 is a persistent battle
[2997.50 --> 3004.70] like forever z's it's not a match right uh i think you can win and lose areas it's an mmo yeah you can
[3004.70 --> 3009.90] win and lose areas and like there will be a an individual battle for an individual place and if one
[3009.90 --> 3015.42] person wins or loses then it probably ends and whatnot but it's not it's not the same type of type of thing
[3015.42 --> 3021.34] all right let's see what else we've got for topics here oh right we didn't even talk about mavericks
[3021.34 --> 3026.22] so mavericks promises right posted by crunchy dragon on the forum original article from pedestrian.tv
[3027.10 --> 3030.54] earlier this year automation games revealed mavericks claiming its battle royale mode can
[3030.54 --> 3035.34] support up to 400 players crazier yet some game modes the studio says will facilitate up to a thousand
[3035.34 --> 3041.98] concurrent players okay persistent environment means players will leave tracks wherever they go
[3041.98 --> 3045.98] and you'll be able to drop in and out at any time the world will continue to exist and evolve
[3045.98 --> 3051.66] whether you're there or not neat and it'll be able to host up to a thousand players in any given server
[3052.86 --> 3057.74] google's game streaming service may have a hardware component this was originally posted by
[3057.74 --> 3061.42] master disaster on the forum the original article is from kotaku
[3061.42 --> 3067.26] so basically game developers conference in march google representatives met with several big game
[3067.26 --> 3072.38] companies to gauge interest in its streaming platform codenamed yeti and this is yet another
[3072.38 --> 3080.22] indication that whether you like it or not cloud gaming is going to be a thing a lot of people were so mad
[3080.22 --> 3085.02] when i did that video on what's nvidia's called again i know what you mean but yeah i don't remember off
[3085.02 --> 3091.02] it's talking my head uh shield something what's what's it called no no it's not called grid anymore
[3092.30 --> 3102.38] uh nvidia oh crap it's it's not called gate game no uh cloud gaming i can't remember what it's called
[3102.38 --> 3109.02] g-force now um so a lot of people were mad they were like they're gonna have to pry my hardware from my cold dead fingers
[3109.02 --> 3115.58] and you might be right but what's going to happen is cloud gaming is going to happen whether you like
[3115.58 --> 3122.46] it or not and there's going to be much like um you know the xbox has gaming experiences that are simply
[3122.46 --> 3128.70] not available on the pc there's going to be gaming experiences that are available on cloud gaming that
[3128.70 --> 3135.50] will not be available to those of you with graphics cards in your cold dead fingers and graphics cards in
[3135.50 --> 3144.30] pc's are also not going away anytime soon just to be very clear but i can imagine a scenario where if
[3144.30 --> 3151.34] every player was running off of the same data center effectively you could actually enable massively
[3151.34 --> 3158.38] multiplayer experiences more easily so the latency instead of being between the persistent environment
[3158.38 --> 3164.22] and every individual player because you'd have effectively like zero latency within the data center
[3164.22 --> 3169.34] would be between every player and their own connection to the persistent world i actually
[3169.34 --> 3176.54] foresee a way to create gaming experiences that otherwise wouldn't be possible yeah that's why it
[3176.54 --> 3183.82] will exist and i hadn't actually thought of that until i said it just now but there's nothing you can do
[3183.82 --> 3189.74] this is happening and it also helps that massive companies like google are jumping into the fray it's not
[3189.74 --> 3195.34] just going to be nvidia playing by themselves with some smaller startups yeah uh i don't necessarily
[3195.34 --> 3200.78] know if i like it or not but i i do think it's going to happen it might be i i feel like it would be cool
[3200.78 --> 3207.74] if there was like some games you know how like wow has a subscription some mmos have subscriptions you're
[3207.74 --> 3212.86] gonna pay for a subscription anyways whatever if it's a game that makes sense to have a subscription for
[3212.86 --> 3217.90] yeah whatever but i see it coming to the point where it's like downloading games instead of buying
[3217.90 --> 3222.38] physical copies where like people are like oh yeah it's just easier so i'm just gonna do it anyways
[3222.38 --> 3226.54] and then it bites people in the butt later when now they have download caps and games are 100 gigs
[3227.26 --> 3232.06] um and other things start happening yeah not to mention that multiplayer just goes away once the
[3232.06 --> 3236.30] game dev doesn't feel like it anymore yeah like that kind of stuff uh so google took meetings at
[3236.30 --> 3240.70] e3 in los angeles a few weeks ago apparently the company is looking not just to woo game developers
[3240.70 --> 3245.18] to the yeti service but to buy development studios entirely oh that's interesting oh boy
[3245.18 --> 3249.42] whispers have been quieter around google's hardware whatever that might look like but the
[3249.42 --> 3253.90] rumors suggest it will link up with the streaming service in some way it's not clear if they want to
[3253.90 --> 3259.18] compete with the technical specs of like a new gen playstation or xbox or whether it'll be cheaper
[3259.18 --> 3267.82] and low-end relying on the streaming server servers to pull their weight dun dun dun google has apparently
[3267.82 --> 3273.34] been on a massive hiring spree bringing experienced video game developers and marketers from ea playstation
[3273.34 --> 3279.42] and other top companies interesting uh this was posted by friendly non-murdering sort on the forum
[3281.74 --> 3286.94] thank you for that this is super cool android messages for web now available for everyone the
[3286.94 --> 3291.34] original article is from google.com you can use your computer to chat with your friends through messages
