NRS Introduces Enhanced Online BETA For MKX; Sign-Ups Are Now Live

bye felicia
Guess we will have to agree to disagree on that one cuz it was still better then pretty much anything else out pre-patch.
In the same way lots of people say MKX (and really every other game) is fine online. The great thing about rollback code is that it looks great even when it sucks.

Never will I use the word "fine" and NRS netcode in the same sentence lol. Pre patch sfxt was atleast 50x more playable then any NRS game to date and better then most anything out at the time is all i am trying to say.

Punching bag that throws fans !
Thannnnnnk You

I swear the next time i hear somebody say anything about sfv droping and mk sales im going to flip. Fact mk always have and always will outsell street fighter. Dont let the tournament scene fool you it is the exact opposite in the world and with all that said i'll be getting sfv
Actually, let the tournament scene be your way to judge if the community is alive or not.

MK9 outsold Vanilla SF4, sure, but how many MK9 went back in the bargain bin only a few months after that because MK9's netcode was ass ?

Meanwhile, the SF scene is still alive (just look at EVO ! or Capcom Pro Tour) after like ... 7 years of playing SF4 and its updates (it's still really easy to find matches on USF4).

Not sure MK9 lasted 2 years ...

Selling a lot is great and all, but if you have tons of money from your fans and still can't even pull your head out of your ass, launching games with input delay netcode in 2015 ... what's the point, really ? All that money went into marketing DLCs and daily towers (lol) ?

It just means a LOT of people bought an outdated product just because the MK brand is strong ... not really something to brag about I guess ...

I never thought it was that bad at all mainly I remember people bitching about the audio glitches but I thought it was just fine. It was still at least 50x better than t6 and mk9 which I was playing and had no prob landing Kazuya combos and AA.

It is a matter of opinion though so no sense arguing :D
I remember the rollbacks being obnoxious in the beginning, but it was sorted out. It could have been a individual experience though, so you're right.

Just to add to that Justin Beiber sold a lot of records also :DOGE

Sales don't mean shit, its the longevity and quality of content.

I had my share of rollback and audio glitches but it wasn't "zomg worst pos netcode ever" other people may have had it worse off though. I did play with friends that had legit wired connections and not streaming netflix or downloading shit while we played so that probably helped.

I think KI's model is genius. I wish I actually liked that game... but my dream MK11 would just be called Mortal Kombat.. free with maybe Subs, LK, Scorp and Radian and then new characters released as paid dlc and the engine updated every few years.
lol, you don't even like it?! That's amazing.

To those blowing up people who said this wouldn't happen. What game six months+ after release went back and totally rehauled their entire online component? Given NRS/WB's history what rational thinking person thought they were going to do this?

Again im shocked and really happy i was proven wrong.

Even with the obnoxious rollbacks it was by far better than MKX right now. I'm hopeful NRS gets it right.

Normalize grab immunity.
Namco is. But Namco has never cared what anyone else is doing.
They are doing weird things for T7's netcode. I still like how good T6 and TTT2 handled online for me so I'm def giving namco a shot with whatever they decided to just do.

@Sutter Pain I thought SFxT online was pretty good after a bit. Me and my frequent opponents just stuck to training room usually and were fine. Heck some of us managed some 2v2 all play matches.

I'm not expecting the ggpo to drop anytime soon, but does anyone have any idea how long this would even take? I'm guessing they've been working on it for a quite a bit now anyway if they're coming out with a beta so soon. Not really looking for any SOLID answers, just curious is all.

Call me petty but somehow my favorite part about this is the TYM "lulz NRS sucks" brigade eating shit. Though I'm sure their argument will now turn to "it took them long enough." Anyway, eat shit.
Yeah it already has. It's hilarious.

being hype? you came in to this thread on a high horse expecting us to kiss ass, you were looking for a fight.

i've been playing games with good netcode for years. this isn't new technology for me. while it's great nrs community is in the 21st century now, my fanboyism for nrs doesn't cancel out the years of frustration with their previous games.

again it's good news but i'm not gonna pretend like 7 years didn't happen. go ahead and let me know when nrs invents a time machine, new injustice and mk9 netcode then maybe you'll have a leg to stand on about nrs being good listeners.
im more interested why they couldnt have done this in the first place.
so many problems could have been avoided...
Would have been great to let us know that they were working on a rollback netcode when there still was an online community for MKX.

Unless we ALL believe they started working on this like 3 days before the actual beta :)

This video screams "Come back guys, buy some KP2, we'll fix online, I swear" so much it's not even funny.

Especially so close to SFV being released, it feels like a desperate way to get our money all over again.

-NO NRS, I will NOT buy any KP2, but nice try, thanks for fixing online, wasn't it IMPOSSIBLE though ? lol-

That afk skinny dude, actually there were betas long before SFV buddy. NRS didn't bite off anyone, they merely listened to the fans. Tyler even says it lol.

Yes!! I'm very happy for a few reasons.

Better net play coming. Who can argue that?

More happy players.

Less bitching.

Props NRS! I look forward to it. Now in a perfect world, KP 3 with Fujin? lol But good job!
Did I add a doge face to my post? I was only being sarcastic, but the timing of it? No coincidence :DOGE:DOGE
 
man, this free and supportive decision by NRS surely brings out the negativities of some people, lets just all ignore them and play mkx online and have fun without all these hate nonsense, let them live in the past

If NRS can pull out a KI equivalent netcode, I will pray to elder god Ed Boon and his team every morning I wake up and every night before I go to sleep. But if they fuck it up and it still sucks balls, I'll still applaud them for the effort, seriously. But then swiftly throw MKX into the trash along with my hopes and dreams that NRS will ever make a playable online experience...and just move on to Tekken 7 when it drops.

you realize that he read this thread and made that comment right? he's not actually as insightful as he wants to people to belive.

anyway, if you read my string of posts you would see that my problem isn't "lol nrs sucks". it's that fenix guy's attitude about the situation.

Cool, I guess. I hope the full and finished "Enhanced Online" will either just be an update to MKX, or there will be a "Komplete Edition" MKX disk withGGPO online.
