cross platform multiplayer only thing to save MKX at this point

[King Hadu]

No other way to revive the player base. Make it so that we can play with PS4 and XBOX One players. 70 people online of which only 25 are from USA and hence only 25 are useful to people like me is not going to cut it for MKX now.

The 20,000 people who just flat out quit this game and deleted it will never return. But there is hope, the devs just have to fix the broken online match making with a region lock like how it is done on PS4.

Certain folks depending on their hardware configuration, should have certain options permanently disabled and unable to access. As to keep up with performance for a smooth gameplay. Also fix the CPU bug where we need to follow the sticky guide on this forum for it to use 4 cores.

Ping Filtering and Region Lock is the only way forward for all users.

If this is done and we can play cross platform multi player with PS4 and Xbox One players then this game will be solid.

Offcourse I am sure this is never going to happen and this will continue to remain a pipe dream since the devs are too incompetent. And Ed Boon making blatant lies in public on camera alsos shows volume about the kind of people behind this game. So I won't hold my breath.

You want to know the truth. The cross platform concept is a marketing gig.

presumably it will work. How well it works is another story.

Research is fun, you should try it one day.

I knew about this one, but it barely counts. Its only 1 game.

Street Fighter X Tekken is cross platform...

I wonder if that will turn out good or bad, no offense i wanted to see cross platform myself for a long time but ya know with mixing consoles and pc, possibility is that consoleros gonna meet people who can not run the game at 60fps i wonder how they will like it.

I agree that people trying to play the game with subpar PCs could pose a problem, but cross platform play will likely become a normalcy for fighting games.

Developers could help alleviate the potential problem of subpar PC users by having properly functioning ping and region filtering options to allow a user to completely avoid subpar PC hardware owners. Benchmarks could also be put in place to keep someone from being able to access online if they can't play the game at the proper fps.

I agree

Or another feature, some online games does this I THINK is dawn of war can't remember. Users with sub par PC could not activate certain options in graphics and they were graved out forced on disabled for online play.

THere are people with decent PC that can run the game on medium to high at 60 fps but even they are just too dumb for their own good and they want to run every single option on Ultra

Something as simple as shadows, reducing it a slight bit can sometimes yield double performance at a very tiny loss in visual quality.

This, + afaik vita players could filter out ps3 players.

Also regarding people playing the game on toasters... you've to run a benchmark before you can jump online in USF4 and your rating shows in lobbies. Peasants, who play on their subpar casio calculator will shortly be weeded out, when nobody plays their laggy ass. Capcom knows what they're doing, compared to NRS at least.

The reason no one plays this online is because the online is unplayably laggy. If they fix that and implement good rollback netcode, people will play it.

That new game they've been advertising at evo, rising thunder, is a 3D game engine and uses ggpo. You CAN put ggpo in any game. SF5 is also going to use rollback netcode. I don't know what KI uses but it apparently works.

Netcode is the key, but NRS are too incompetent.

[Shlyven]

Rocket League has PS/PC crossplay too

[V3ntilator]

Cubemen 2 cross-play is overkill. Even online level sharing is same for all OS'es.

Nintendo Wii U
Windows
OSX
Linux
iOS
Android

^ lol that is taking to a whole other level

Its sad at a time when every company is looking to improve on their netcode, improve and fix online, do cross platform. We instead are stuck with NRS, an incompetent lying bunch of steaming turds who has 0 respect for PC Gamers. And who are trying to destroy their own game.

Here is another cross-play deluxe game. A pure FPS with nice gfx.
PC, Facebook, Phones etc.

I tried, and cross-play actually works fine with so many systems. :)

Pure Chess:

Nintendo Wii U
Nintendo 3DS
iPhone
iPad
iPod touch
Android

If Sony weren't stubborn and refused cross-play, PS3, PS4 and VITA would also support cross-play with the 6 other systems making it a total of 9 systems mixed online.

Cross-Play games clearly works fine between phones, PC, tabs and consoles.

There is no good reason to not support cross-play today.

We have SF5 and KI with cross play. Now waiting about Tekken 7 cross play annoucment and evrything will be good. Dosent WB have the money to make MKX crossplay or dont they want it?

Yeah some crossplay would be wicked but lets be realistic, There's like 100 people playing this daily if we're lucky on PC, They've got thousands of players on each console alone, perhaps 20 times the amount. To them its just not worth the man hours they'd hire someone to do that for and then hiring another few testers to test it would be a good few thousand to pull that off probably. Would be better for them to have those people working on kombat pack 2 and injustice 2. Even if hundreds more would flock over to this game they don't see it like that, just the numbers they get up front is all that matters. Also Tekken 7? This coming to pc? that would be wonderful. Still have the odd session of Tag Tourney 2 on my wii u

Online community will last alot longer too when games is cross-play.

I think any multiplatform game should have cross-play on any platform its released on.
This is already done by other devs as i mentioned here already.

[Manu]

The game is and will stay DEAD

[TaZeR]

Why don't they just add cross platform to the multiplayer? It would be so easy to implement and give the game so much new life, I don't understand why gave devs suck like that.

What are the realistic chances they might actually add it in the near future?
