Steam Tekken 7 is Dead Long Live Windows 10 Cross Play Tekken 7

[King Hadu]

Its official Tekken 7 is a Windows 10 Store cross play Xbox One game. This is a game changer, unless you like buying PC Fighting games with a dead online playerbase to play single player you are going to have to purchase windows 10 version

as much as I HATE windows 10 store games, fact of the matter is if you want to consider investing so much time in learning a Fighting Game and not be totally wasting your time you are going to have to buy Windows 10 tekken 7.

I guess you cannot blame Microsoft they have the console they have the real online playerbase if you want to make sure your months and possibly years learning a complex fighting game isn't wasted you have no choice but to buy the Windows 10 version. because you ARE going to need Cross Play because history has shown the online community for PC Fighting games die very fast and nobody wants to spend hours waiting for a online match or play agains the same people over and over

A damn shame Valve does not even care since they make enough money in other games on Steam platform so they won't care to strike a deal with Sony for PS4 cross play.

And as microsoft states all their Xbox one Windows 10 games are mandatory cross play and play anywhere buy once

"Mandatory cross play" ?! How would that even work in Gears of war 4 multiplayer mode as Windows PC gamers would slaughter Xbox1 gamers thanks to keyboard and mouse. I hate Windows 10 and Im getting Tekken 7 for Windows 7, Harada better team us up against the PS4 gang Street Fighter 5 style with good netcode. And this DX 12 for Win 10, has anyone actually benefitted from it or have it been more of a nuisance? Quantum Break and Hitman sure as hell didnt benefit from it. Think MS misjudged us.

OP's post is at best speculation, chances are it will be cross play regardless of the version I feel king harada is just trying to poisen the hype well because he's probably an
xbox fanboy.

Boy, I guess King Hadu is forced to call people "village idiots" now in order to prevent another forum banning such as the case of the MKX forums.

The point is 2% of sales Happen on Windows Store it is a bust and a failure, which is why spencer said all games from now on on windows store will have cross play you buy once and play on either against anyone on either platform.

Thats his vision for Windows Store because it has nothing else to offer and the Xbox One playerbase advantage for Cross Play makes it a no brainer.

Yes there are many people yourself included who say MKXL is not coming for PC and while you are probably correct, only the village idiot actually believes it. This is the point I am trying to make. I am not calling someone a village idiot it is people who are making themselves to be the village idiot do you understand now?

Reaaaallllllyyyy reaching there with your one insult.

Bandai Namco has no interest in making Windows Store a success. I hope they have a TEKKEN or BN account (that you can auto make via steam/PSN/XBL of course) and then that account and server system takes care of all the matchmaking, independent from any of the console or PC platform's. This way they can unify the players.

That would also make it pretty cool if we could buy Tekken then directly from its site and not go through any 3rd party like steam, windows store or the consoles.

There's nothing officially posted about crossplay though... this is all just conjecture beyond the Microsoft store link pointing to there being a windows store version but that doesn't mean crossplay for Steam still won't happen.

First off Phil Spencer already made it VERY CLEAR that Windows 10 Xbox One game from now on will be Cross Play

Thats the whole point of Windows 10 Gaming its the only leverage microsoft has and they know it thats why it comes with Cross Play

Windows 10 games only make up for 2% of sales which is why quantum break came to Steam.

Please don't tell me you are one of those village idiots who doesn't understand the basics of business and still think that ED Boon is lying about a MKXL PC game that exists somewhere because we have lots of those village idiots still around right now

mkxl is being released on pc 4th October. what are you rumbling about?

I'm still trying to understand how your brain jumps to the conclusion that Tekken 7 will get a Windows Store release, that has a different playerbase than the Steam version, because of what this Spencer guy says as if it applies to anything but Microsoft exclusive games like Halo and GoW.

There's just no way Bandai is actually going to let the playerbases be split up like that. That would be incredibly stupid of them and Steam has been the platform touted for PC since they made the announcement.

[TheSorrow55]

agree with you i think PC for shooter games not for fighting games

[Sledgehammer]

Steam is dead? You gotta be kidding me, did you see Rise of Tomb Raider UWP version sales? No? Then see it and figure out which version will be dead. Not even crossplay can save Windows 10 version if they going to bother with it actually. Actually, even Killer Instinct is still alive because of solely GGPO, it would be dead with Tekken-like netcode which is delay-based, especially on Xbox One. I have no doubt that Namco won't touch UWP, it's a waste of money, no sane developer would support UWP for free. In fact, not even some MS developers (see Quantum Break on Steam, pretty sure it bombed really hard on both Xbox One and Windows Store).

And the thing I learned after SFV is that crossplay is nothing without good netcode. The game don't need crossplay with great netcode, Tekken 7 would be active for many years with GGPO on PC alone and GGPO/roll-back netcode likely cost less than crossplay implementation.

Make Tekken 7 Steam version crossplay with the PS4 gang only, that tool Phil Spencer is nothing but a stupid mouthpiece for MS and W10. Didnt that toolbox say that all Xbox 1 games are coming to PC then the next day day he said otherwise? Windows Store! Something wrong in naming it what it really is: GFWL 2.0 ? No thanks.
PS Looks like W10 and its "fantastic" DX12 strikes again!:

Didn't Spencer already said, people missunderstood his speech? He meant STEAM and WINDOWS 10 STORE won't be able to play against each other? He said Most games will be buy once, play everywhere, not XPlatform(?)

[Hardtarget01]

I dont care what Phil Spencer or other MS mouthpieces got to say, didnt Phil get the job as the guy before him was so stupid and got fired because of it? And exactly how could MS force Bandai Namco to team up with Tekken 7 and Harada? Street Fighter 5 PC/PS4 crossplay now thats solid (As it should be).

This guy knows what's up. And that's probably what will happen. If in any case doesn't happen, I hope the Steam version can cross-play with PS4 just like SF5.

[Hardtarget01]

Cant more than agree with that.
