This is very, very sad news… =(
O.K…
To be fair, I’ve played 4 Reds and 2 Yellows…
SNK fucked up…again, I wanna play a Blue Bar before I totally write this off.
There better be a patch - I paid $60 for this practice mode.
Does anyone have another option under “Battle Type” online when creating a room?
all I have is single
I’m wondering if this feature isn’t available yet or I just can’t host it(for similar reasons to not being able to host on 2DF)
Glad I saw this thread… I was about to go buy it but I’ll wait for a patch if there is one.
KOF XII Facebook Group Update:
“King of Fighters XII: We understand that there have been some concerns raised about performance during online play. A patch for the both platforms is being worked on which should help with those gamers experiencing issues. While I don’t have an exact date for the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 patch should be available by the street date July 28, 2009.”
It’s not the “Single” you think it is.
It means 1 on 1 Player Wise, not Character Wise.
The “Team” you see in Player Match is the 3 on 3 online where 6 people are playing at once.
This game does not have a 1 Fighter on Fighter option, it’s always 3 on 3 team fighting.
In the KOF12 topic under FGC, someone quoted SNK saying that they realize the online problems and that there will be a patch. They dont know when the xbox patch will be released but the ps3 patch should be available by street date (7/28/09). There is still hope.
Beat me to it, was coming here to post this.
GREAT FUCKING NEWS!!!:party:
Ugh, now i’m wondering if I should return it after work. I live in the middle of nowhere with no friends around, if the netcodes bad then i’m better off just sticking with Blaz.
Hopefully they’re serious about this. I haven’t picked my copy up yet, but I’ve already put my $60 down on it. I’d much rather have a functioning game than cash back in my pocket.
Thank god for news on the patch
Oh I know single is 1 on 1 regular KoF
I wanted to see if Teams was 3 on 3 1 person per character, or 3 on 3 still with individual teams.
but I didn’t have the option for teams(battle type is darkened and unselectable with single as only option). So I wanted to see if that was just me and my connection or if it was unavailable for everyone at the moment
Really crossing my fingers here. I like the gameplay enough I don’t care if it the netcode isn’t flawless, as long as it’s playable. Right now, it’s simply not playable.
Right now netcode is 98UM quality. I’ll give until patch- and they better damn well deliver, or I will never purchase anything from SNK again. This is strike three.
Good Job To SNK/Ignition For acting fast and announcing a patch for the stated release date :party:
Don’t give them a good job until they deliver.
Ima still get this myself on both systems, but its disappointing, I thought it would be perfect online from day one, im touting to all my mates that it will probably have awesome netcode so we can challenge the world, not just other from Australia(where im from).
Its such a shame too, cos IMO we have some AWESOME players down here but we(aussies) cant really prove ourselves to the rest of the world cos of lag, for example SF4 would only be fun for 2 beginners, 1 from Australia and another from say Japan or America, just too much lag to get crazy.
For me best netcode for any fighting game has been SSF2HDR on X360, I could play my American friends with very little lag and pretty much bring my A-Game.
IMO, although obviously too early to tell with KOF, but I think the system its played on will have a little bit to do with how well it plays online. I have SSF2HDR & SF4 on both PS3 and X360 and both games play far better online on the 360.
well it’s not going to be put into effect until tuesday
so you have the whole weekend to think about this
I played a Red bar. It’s pretty bad. But no player advantage. So that’s already a step above MotW/98UM. Could be better. Need to hunt better connections.
Lol i think all the early release guys just ended up being beta testers for the online. At least they’re working on a patch to get ready by the street date.
