Re: latency sucks (was: Oni Multiplayer...)
Posted By: EktekDate: 1/2/01 1:34 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Oni Multiplayer... (Michael Spencer)

: I agree -- it would be great to have multiplayer capability in Oni.
: However, you can't change the laws of physics.

: Non-technical: lag for modem players is too severe in a twitch-reflex
: toe-to-toe fighter like Oni. Even cable modems and DSL users would have
: problems with missed punches and the like.

: Technical: even 300 ms latency is enough to cause synchronization issues if
: the game is kept real-time. Most games get around this with game models
: that aren't so sensitive to latency (in SubSpace, bombs take the better
: part of a second or longer to reach their target, making a quarter-second
: delay less significant) or ....

All too true.

Though if Oni did have networking code in it, I can imagine clandestine games lurking on 100MB/Gigabit LANs at those institutions directly connected to Internet2.... ;-)
