My sound is fine. In fact, they did a surprisingly good job with surround sound setups; it’s nice to hear for the crowd cheer for me from behind me.
From Facebook KOFXII
" 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."
Eh, at least we still have hope.
It’s hard as f*** to pull off Ash’s CC combo online with these input delay.
Otherwise, I’ve been playing Versus mode; Imma rate this game as a draw from KOF98 (opinion). It’s really fun.
I dont even see bars when I go to play people so I dont know what kind of connections I’ve been playing.
Having said that, most of my games have been pretty good so far, I’ve had a few terrible lagfests but as a whole my online experience with the game has been solid.
The game itself is very good, I’m mainly a street fighter player so this is new to me and I think the game is a nice change of pace from what I’m used to.
I’ve been playing online for the past hour and a half, very harsh, if you get a douche bag doing nothing but blocking and you’re not a KoF vet, you’re pretty much screwed. (IMO).
Using Leona, Athena, and Kyo isn’t so bad, you get alil used to input the lag; hopefully the patch will be godly.
So I know the netcode is bad and all, but how do I join a room my friend invited me to? There’s no “confirm invitation” or anything.
I read the manual. It said
“If you are receiving an invite, you may accept the invitation on the same area of the XMB by selecting "PLAY KOFXII ONLINE”
No idea… I’d like to know how to accept too…
if it looks like a feature is missing, it’s probably missing. Gotta wait till they patch.
Open XMB and press triangle on your name.
I’ve Managed to play one match with little to no lag
so it is possible to get lag free matches online it just seems a bit hard at the moment
The Friend invite feature for ps3 is also broken. I already emailed Ignition about it
Open your XMB and press triangle on your name.
Wow, the amount of complaints about this game have actually overshadowed the fact the game itself is probably pretty solid…
Famitsu wasn’t too impressed either… Review was pretty decent… 5,7,5,5
Played against 5 different people this afternoon and while its not AS BAD as KOF98UM or Garou on XBLA, it is pretty bad. Its comparable to the netcode in the Xbox1 versions of KOF2003 and Neowave (which were OK at the time…but they play poorly in a post-GGPO world).
I’m not holding my breath for a patch since SNK is so out of touch with the fighting game community outside of Japan.
wait like when i get the invite, i press it? Cause i tried to no avail
Patch for PS3 hits stateside on the 28th.
Anyone else want to jump to conclusions?
Phoenix: when you get an invite, open xmb and press triangle on your name and press “Play KING OF FIGHTERS XII Online”. That takes you to a list of invites.
yea it works. Thanks! Id rep u if i could
Finally tried playing online. Fucking straight up awful so far. Will experiment more.
If no one is in your room you can press start and play the computer until an opponent arives.
Well holding your breath for a few days isn’t recommended. Were you expecting to only wait a few minutes?
I managed to get some playable matches in. Great fun when you manage to get a fight where your button presses arent more than a second delayed from the onscreen action.
