[YhelloWish]

Any news?
I'm lazy to find match in discord

[HeartBreak]

nothing yet, im just huffing hopium and preparing my copium

[Amateur Asian]

big mistake if they don't

[NeoStrayCat]

Would be nice, but to be fair, MBTL didn't get one either, and no, not counting PS version crossplay itself.

I know that French Bread is a small company, but they should ask how ASW got it to work for their games, lol.

Unfortunate but kind of understandable. I mean French-Bread only has 14 employees according to wikipedia so they're still super small. Plus I don't know what the logistics are between setting up the infrastructure between platforms and then potentially needing anti-cheat for PC with crossplay. I'm sure if UNI2 somehow was a commercial hit (relative to other anime fighters) and they actually sold ridiculous numbers they'd add it. At least we're finally getting rollback and PC will probably end up the de facto main platform to play online anyways long term.

I don't think it's about setting up the infrastructure for crossplay. It's about paying Sony massive fees for the "privilege" of adding crossplay.

Gotta get those PSN subs somehow. What ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Most of my community plays on PC. So we will not having any issue finding matches.
If you are too lazy to be part of a community on Discord... it is your problem.

We have 12-16 player tournaments on CLR every two months, and plenty of casuals so I cant care less about Crossplay when you are between people that understand that we are in the best platform. The game will be dead in consoles in some years, while still thriving on PC, or at least surviving. Check BBCF or +R.

The reason that I wrote "I'm lazy to find match in discord" is because I wanna jump into the game and find the match and player the game immediately.
Here from real example
I woke up in the morning holiday to play fighting game 6 am. , If I can't find the match both in the game and in discord so it's still my problem?

But what about the other console players that want crossplay? They must buy PC to solve the problem?
If you really think "Nah I don't care about crossplay because I always have players to play with on PC"
Then your logic is a problem.

Don't you think having crossplay is good?
Have crossplay = your community will grow = more fun

Crossplay just means more wifi warriors. A community full of wifi warriors is a dead community.
PC will always have players. I can still jump into ranked after work and get games, and we're still on delay based. You will have 0 problems finding people once rollback hits.

Stop the cope.

I've been playing SF6 with crossplay off and Xrd and there are plenty of warriors in the Wifi army.
Even if you want to be conservative and say only 30% of console players are on wire, thats still more than you wouldnt without crossplay.

That said, the lack of crossplay hasn't impacted my decision. Because a dead game that I enjoy playing is still more fun than a live one I don't.

However.

If it becomes discord dead then yeah that would be trash. Idk if it's because Unist lobbies suck, but in Xrd, another dead game, I just have an open lobby and ppl hop in. I tried discord last friday and pinging ppl just for 5 matches got annoying really fast.

There are a lot of factors pushing against the even mediocre success of this game, it's release date being sandwiched by bigger titles, increased price, regional prices, lack of marketing you name it. I didnt even know they put this on steam yet. I was just playing unist for two weeks, couldnt they have done an "update" on their main game to announce this? Hell, the population is so small in TL they prolly could have gotten away with doing a little ad there.

hope so

[Dreadful]

no they won't they straight up said they can't it cost a lot of money to do so, maybe if the game gets bigger and bigger for next release 2030 :D
