Bandai Namco, Cygames, you don't have anymore excuses. Let ASW add rollback to DBFZ & GBVS (respectively). Also add true rollback to Tekken 7, Bamco. A shame that Switch is stuck with shitty netcode, though.

At this point I think hope is dead for FighterZ unfortunately

 

[Kalentan]

I wonder if this will help at all... Like obviously good for those still playing but I think Cross play is sort of needed considering how little still play.

 

[MCD]

Need Xbox sale please 🙇

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

woah
Yeah if SNK is doing it for an already out 3D game, Bamco has no excuse not to put this in FighterZ.

 

[s y]

surprised they're bothering with updating SamSho. Game is dead af

 

[sibarraz]

Too late to revive the game, but at least a potential sequel should have rollback and crossplay at launch (Considering the KOF news)

Cross-play could help revive the game, though.

 

[Layell]

Huge W for the fans, and I hope because it's based on the KOF rollback it won't be as difficult to implement. Hard to see if this will help sales at all though with how far away it is.

 

[Thorn]

SNK does what Namco-dont.

A friend of mine wasted money on this game. It was dead days after release.

Since they're basing it off of KOF 15's code, I wonder if the fixes will be backported to KOF 15.

Eh, I have bought the game like 4 times, it was great while it lasted since covid wasnt a thing yet and we had a decent scene

The game deserved more though

 

[entremet]

Better late than never!

 

[dlauv]

Buying immediately. This game has a 120hz mode!

 

[Ryu bogard]

if only it had crossplay i would have bought it immediately.

Switch might be the main hold-up.

So you can have 15 people instead of 4 ?

Game is dead, it's too late for that. It should have been there day one.

I would have been happier with a KOF13 rollback edition on consoles & PC, but still, happy for people that love the game.

This game is dead, the corpse will jump for a week.

2023 is too late to try and revive this game.

 

[CommandThrower]

Fuck yes!

I suppose many will say "too little too late", but you know what? I'll gladly take it!

 

[HardRojo]

Gonna try and find a physical copy for PS4, but might nab it digitally too if cheap.

 

[Oafkit]

Really fun game for the 2 days I was able to find players so hopefully that helps.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Wow, I thought that ship had sailed.

So this was their secret proyect?

cool cool.

 

[Flame Champion]

Totally unexpected. Very awesome of them.

 

[Nordicus]

Spring 2023? Aight sure, fuck it, I'll probably jump in during a Steam winter sale or something, and keep labbing until patch day (and then get stomped).

I was always curious about SamSho, but bad online meant it was never going to go anywhere.

 

[JoanneAlley]

nice to see rollback continuing to be implemented, but sadly this is effectively meaningless without crossplay. The game is completely dead. At least with crossplay it would be slightly less hard to get a match going.

Hard to say. Mustier games got revived just due to rollback.

 

[Mocha Joe]

Hope SNK liked the Epic and Google money to kill any potential fanbase on PC.

Peak of 180 players on Steam is hilariously bad.

 

[bangai-o]

What about the Stadia version?

Is there still a chance it could get announced at this EVO event, or has the window where it would have been announced left us?

It could, and hopefully it will but at the same time I think the ship has sailed

 

[Bob White]

Should have been there on launch. Too late to get any money from me.

 

[Piccoro]

Release the 120fps update on PS5 please.

When's the DBZF finals? I would imagine that's where they would release a theoretical announcement, as they have done so in the past.

 

[eraFROMAN]

Switch might be the main hold-up.

Click to shrink...

I genuinely wouldn't mind excluding switch in this case, the console isn't really a main center for fighters in the first place (and I say this as someone who loves his Switch, and played BFTG on it, which does feature full crossplay)

 

[entremet]

Release the 120fps update on PS5 please.

Click to shrink...

Doubt that will happen. Will require a whole new dev package so ROI will be negative most likely at this point.

I do hope it happens, tho!

 

[emperor bohe]

I'm finally buying this

 

[Tpallidum]

I'm buying this now

 

[Virtua Sanus]

This is such a damn megaton. I fully expected them to never look back on the game.

Shame that it is far too little too late but I am happy to get anything for the game. It is legitimately one of my all time favorites in the genre. I will buy it on another platform once this goes live.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Sold off my copy ages ago but good news for…

…?
…?

welp, maybe there's good news for DBFZ tomorrow then if they bothered doing this.

 

[Digital Dinosaur]

When something is given rollback code, never count it out. It is basically future proofing the game for future scenes to pick up again.

 

[Giga Power]

YASSSSSS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[HiLife]

Guess it's time to find a definitive edition for sale.

 

[krazen]

I got this and stopped playing a week past release, primarily because of the netcode.

I wish companies got it right the first time out.

 

[DragonHunterG]

I think this is a great effort, but if any game needed cross play, this is the one. it's spread out across more systems than most current fighting games.

 

[Chief Malik]

Warzone isn't a native game and supports 120hz

Yeah, but Warzone is a beast in terms of money and attention. SS7 is much more niche.

 

[Warrior of Light]

And still no native PS5 port.

 

[Arsic]

Next steam sale I'm coping it. I bought on ps4 on release and was so bummed that SNK had once again suckered me with shit online.

I really like this game . The dlc roster is also fantastic .

They can add at least 1 more sale and an active player once this hits.
