Honest Question about the ports for Console

[Soul Walker]

I figured that this would get eaten in a thread so I'll create a fresh one to ask.

Why is PS5 (Native) and Xbox Series X/S being skipped?There's definitely something going on with the dev side of things with this because first Capcom with MvC is having this issue now SvC is. Is there any insight to why?

Well, KoF 13 Global Match, KoF 98UMFE as well as KoF 02UM are the same, my guess is “money” and not enough profits to waste it to port

I don't think it's exactly money because 13, 98UM, and 02UM all are backwards Compatible Titles For Xbox so for that I can't see there being a need regardless if the whole SNK library is available. SvC Chaos on the other hand is not

Then to add that KOFXV, SamSho, and City of Wolves are all coming(came) out on Xbox so I can't see the argument that there wouldn't be enough profits

All the ones I listed, are new ports with rollback netcode (which the back compat versions, do not have whatsoever and in KoF 13’s case, also includes all the DLC characters built in and is cheaper than the Back Compat version as well).

Yeah but what I'm arguing is that there isn't a need to port it if it is readily available as is. Like PS4 doesn't have PS3 backwards compatibility so there is arguably a need to make a port for that console.

KoF 98UM & 02UM, were PS2 games (the former already being on PS4 as a PS2 Classic). KoF 13 Global Match, is also on Switch, it really is a case of “PS5 and all Xbox’s are not seen as profitable enough to do much with, with these remastered ports).

I don't entirely believe you there because if PS5 had a port they would get their money back for porting to that. But in the case of MvC Collection the MT Framework is what it runs on and supposedly it was a pain and a half to port for PS5 and Series X/S. But that's a Capcom problem, not an SNK/Code Mystics Problem.

Being a retrogame, it wouldn't be able to take advantage of anything the PS5 could uniquely offer in any meaningful way. If there were a PS5 version, it would essentially be the same as the PS5 running the PS4 version, as you can now.

So that makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense is the ommit of Xbox completely since nearly every other SNK title is on it.

Sorry, we don't know the answer on that one.

Appreciate the time. That's unfortunate to hear personally. More people should have access to these titles in general imo.
