Garou: Mark of the Wolves now has rollback netcode (PC/PS4/Vita) [24 hour giveaway!]

Yeh but this was before he played KoF XIII which he liked a lot.
Listening to the rant right now, and it's not even about how games he likes more have worse netcode. It's about how games made by WAY bigger companies have worse netcome. He just goes off on Bandai Namco for their fuck-awful online in all of their fighters (which includes Smash) while Code Mystics and the dudes making Fight of Animals get rollback. It's insane that this is the case. Same with Capcom and SFV, and SNK with KOFXIV/SamSho.
Something tells me that he'll start to like Garou a lot more now that it's not actively painful to play online.
Reviews on Steam are currently 81% positive. Before the update, I think it was in the mid 60s.
Hopefully reviews and sales are enough for SNK to invest in getting the other Code Mystics ports updated with rollback netcode. Would be nice if non-Code Mystics ports like KOF XIV got rollback as well. I'd actually buy it. I do realize that game is a bigger challenge since it can have more than 2 people in a room. Don't remember exactly what Code Mystics said regarding bigger lobbies and their code.

Capcom at least tries. Their first rollback game was SF X Tekken. Then SFV, and they finally got it perfect with MvC:I. They are miles ahead of Namco/ArcSys/SNK/etc
EDIT: I see there's an update for the PC version?

I see you
Also rollback when done right is so so good. I just found out the guy I was playing earlier is in the UK. 7,031 kilometres away.
I would never even be able to connect to that guy if it was delay-based netplay.
Is that ME!?
Does resetera make up all 100 people in the world playing this game rn on steam :P?
I mean that's part of it too but he goes onto to talk about games he loves much more (with bigger budgets) he's reluctant to play because of their trash online. Like Tekken, Guilty Gear Xrd, KOF 13, etc
This, a2, and VS are my favorite 2d 1v1 fighters of all time.
I never really played kof growing up, so I really hope 2k2 and 98 get updated because I am super excited to learn them after playing 13 and 14.
2002 ultimate match on steam is already done by code mystics i think. IIrc the netcode is good, but there's not many people there(because everyone is on fightcade for that one).
Garou MOTW won me over pretty easily. At first glance, I didn't know what to think of a mostly all new Fatal Fury cast and gameplay that was different from Real Bout and KOF. I came to appreciate the gameplay, the animation, and the new direction Fatal Fury was going in after playing it in a laundromat.
Yeah he played XIII days before the end of the decade and when he talked about top fighting games of said decade XIII immediatly got a spot. I guess that's how good it really is.
I think it is that they prefer the original 2002 version instead of the UM
We do yeah. Because it's the version we grew up playing and has all the jank that we like. People complain about athena and angel infinities but it's part of the fun.
I like the Garou PS4 Theme. I have been using it for days. It's not annoying the shit out of me.

Depends on how open these devs are to netcode not created by Japanese.
Capcom and NRS are using their own solutions. SNK could, too, if they really wanted to.
not sure if "solutions" is an appropiate word since most of them run like shit. I'd rather use methods.
???
NRS games are great online and MvCI is, as well.
Capcom is the only JP dev I expect to have a functioning online component next gen.
MK11 and MvCI have great netcode. Unfortunately Capcom haven't retroactively applied their improved rollback to SFV though :/
I'm glad rollback is becoming more widely used, I just wish the larger Japanese fighting game devs were more willing to use it, or improve past failed attempts(something SFV needs).
If you want any SNK ports or rollback added to SNK games...
Alright then.

KOF 13 needs this. Badly.
I definitely think KoF 13 needs to be next on the list.

Did my part.If you want any SNK ports or rollback added to SNK games...
And I think the active games like Samurai Shodown and the upcoming KOFXV should be the main focus.
As Max said last night, older games getting updated with rollback is cool, appriciated, and all, but it's not going to have that big of an impact of sales or keeping player numbers.
KOF XIII with rollback would be facemeltingly awesome
Let's go, Max!!! Got anything in mind?
Would be great if SamSho got a rollback update. I got it for Xmas and to no surprise it's completely fucking dead online. I don't even get a chance to whine about the netcode because everyone already stopped playing because of it.

Was on life support barely a month after release. A real shame.

Man this is weird. The game doesn't seem to be losing players. It broke it's all-time 24 hour player peak after this netcode update, and it's been doing it repeatedly since then. The latest being 2 hours ago, 3 days after the update. (Steam version)
The thirst for rollback netcode is real. Imagine if Code Mystics gets tapped by SNK to fix *all* of their back catalogue.
EDIT: Max on-stream tonight saying that KOF13 would be a great next game to fix up. It's also conveniently on sale on Steam right now for $5.

It's almost like when the online is good people tend to play it more.
It is not very crowded, but i can find matches with regularity most days.
This, and bring it over to the current gen on a Sony platform, because PSNow is not a good option for this.
Didn't even really think about KOF13... That would be amazing..
I really wish they had the option to have more people in the lobby like a third strike online for example.
I would buy it in a heartbeat...
Piccoro Unless I'm mistaken, I think you sent me a PSN invite for Garou last night. Sorry if it got ignored, I was out for the night and one of my sibling was playing a game in my absence. Otherwise, I would've joined in a heartbeat.
