The Online Play Discussion Thread

gimme a break, thought it would be funny :wink:

he should post it on unity too

Oh god, I don’t even want to think of the fail of Unity fucking that up. If this has any chance, it has to stay away from Unity.

as a petition i meant

There are currently evidently ways to take the loss but not take the rank score loss, as evidenced by spidermancanrun on mvc3

Fuck yes.

But I’d rather have great netplay than great cheater punish.

Put in clans while ur at it. KFC Squad!!!

Yeah, that stuff is all secondary, but still would be nice.

CAPCOM GIVE US GGPO.

If you’re going to do a Replay Channel, don’t half-ass it like they did with SSF4. Flesh the system out so it’s actually something people will want to use.

Because one game was made by Western developers that understand the Internet, the gaming community as a whole, decades-old netcode concepts, and really cares about how the vast majority of its players will be playing and the other… wasn’t?

-Being able to kick people with bad connections from the lobby
-Being able to go back if i picked the wrong character or assist
(i mean seriously capcom did MvC2 online so half-assed:bluu:)
-Online training room would be very nice
-Team battle would be amazing
-Replay lobby
-Random Teams mode
-Clans (KFC all day :wgrin:)
-Titles and Icons
-Trials like in SF4

I will say this though, the more modes they put in, the more ammo you’re giving them for excuses.

this. ranked mode, friendly mode, give the person who disconnects first the loss, and thats all i need

-No input lag based net code
-rollback based net code
-Lobbies
-Replay/save feature.
That’s all I want from online. They can do away with BP for all I care.

what good is lobbies?

seriously…so people can sit and bullshit ?

i just want the best possible netplay available. if they dont wanna pay ponder fine but give me something good

As much as I like lobbies, it’s pointless. Ranked and Player/Friendly. That’s IT. Any more, and I guarantee it will be shitty and Capcom will make an excuse.

You guys are going at this totally wrong >

The netcode is decided, and they don’t need to give any excuses. UI/menu based features almost certainly won’t change the lag of actual play at all (that’s presuming we exclude things like multiple matches in a lobby going at once).

People like lobby play, and there’s no harm to putting it in. That being said, I’m also entirely for quick non-ranked 1 on 1 with a joining model like ranked is. I have a long history of playing ranked just for getting more games in in a short amount of time.

Because searching for 1v1s is easier for peeps when you don’t have to constantly go back again. You can also spectate, get a group together…it’s all necessary if you want utility. Otherwise skip lobbies.

lets say the netcode is already decided. the game comes out and its terrible online, like the recent KOF.

what can we do from there?

can capcom make a netcode change once its already out?

how likely is that of happening?

It’s be a ‘wait for super’ situation.

Well unless it’s something really minor.

I expect SF4 level, buy hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I think capcom isn’t as stupid as SNK

How many people believe points are going to be in for Ranked?

I could see BP being in this game, but hopefully there will be none.
