well there are some things we know for certain. we know there’s a minimum of 1-2f lag for any computer emulator based on how video and audio buffering are handled in modern OSs. we have people who have tested it and emulator authors who have explained it. and ofc if you diverge in any way from an ideal setup it gets worse. speed is harder to know anything concrete about. if both emus are open source you can look it up and see what speed the emulated processor is going at. that’s probably the only obvious thing that could be easily proven.
Input lag has nothing to do with the speed of the gameplay, just how fast it reacts to your input.
People saying things are far from enough for me to trust them.
Anyway. The real point is that no one has ever shown any speed difference. And this sucks cause no one can tell IG “hey, this is bad, fix it”.
While i myself feel something’s off on console version, i’m definitely not able to say if it’s due to speed or some stage lag like they seem to have discovered or anything else.
Worse: few tests i did between OE and fba with Q jumping an entire round, i didn’t find a single frame difference, but method wasn’t exactly perfect so i never talked about it.
But the tests someone did a few months ago, comparing PS2 vs OE, conclude to the same, which is kind of a wtf result.
The only certainty about OE speed vs arcade is that we know nothing yet.
I was talking about general (and things we’re sure about) for the first part of the post. I talked about speed specifically in the second half. Post seemed clear and straightforward while I was writing it but maybe not.
I got an explanation where the 2nd impact music fits in and maybe the why it resets every round.
Can that get fixed? Doing so might even convince me to buy it or I guess I do have to find out where real Q theme for lobbies is first, shouldn’t be 2nd impact music packs but maybe it is. Honzo Gonzo stream near release had that BGM, maybe from media player of the console though. Don’t remember if it was also during matches or the regular stage music played, character select also.
Can mega large loud KO be fixed? Independent of the explained all sounds are 100% max and not emulated to arcade spec, equalizers and such.
Haven’t heard about an update to this in over a month…
Any news?
When It’s Done.
Well imma load it up later tonight, and see what’s what. Been ages since I’ve even really thought about SF since I grabbed VF FS offa there. Shit is so dope!
I think it should be noted that Sony and Microsoft’s netplay infrastructure is quite different in terms of investment, latency and party options. Ultimately, you pay your money, you take your choice, and on Live, we expect a high standard, and generally get it.
That is an interesting thing to think about. Considering this is probably the last port of SF3 ever.
Jerk hipsters will have it on their iOS phone devices and things, just for the novelty of it all, in the future. And sometimes those jerk hipsters are Capcom themselves selling exactly that novelty. SF4 & MvC2.
So yeah, get it right as best you can. Definitely don’t want to need another patch to have to fix new broken things.
Man, I haven’t had internet in last 5 days (Not related to Sandy in case you’re wondering) and I thought it’d be funny if the patch was released so suddenly. Disappointed that I missed nothing.
Wish Sandy would’ve blown this board clean of the usual shit.
Emailed Dave from IG. He said they’re in the testing phases now and if all goes well they will submit the patch in December.
Odd…
Considering I got this:
Also wanted to ask about MvCO and asked why the blog loads so damn slowly.
Why is this arrow next to “said:” pointing up?
It’s because you aren’t holding your breath if you have the blog and mvco to tide you over.
jk btw, I’m just saying stuff.
DEREK NEAL INSURRECTION
I hope they will change the game’s speed…
So when is it coming out?
not gonna happen.
impossible to attain and it’s subjective.
I remember reading that they are patching it. I remember reading the official list. Is it really not coming out?
Maybe he meant the speed thing?
