Cool. At least I know not to buy.

Would love to support Hitbox Arcade but it makes 0 sense to drop 200 dollars on a next gen hitbox that can't run both consoles. I feel bad for people who play , say KI and MKX, and want to use a hitbox. You would have to buy two seperate hitboxes and still own a dualshock 4 and hope your games support last gen sticks on PS4.
Just like you have to get a $200 Madcatz or Hori stick that can't run on both consoles? I mean I understand the complaint, but it's not like we're just trying to shaft you on the price and are providing a lesser service than other companies.

Make a converter or hire someone to.

Can you get a hitbox for ps4?
I use a hitbox on ps4. I have the ps360 version. The ps4 times out any 3rd party controller after 8 minutes, but you can do a soft reset with a 2-button combination that takes about 2 seconds, so I just do it between matches. Overall it's more than worth it, and by now I just do the soft reset without even thinking about it.

@karaokelove

If you plug in after mkx has started and assign it to a connected ds4 it wont time out. And with the most recent mkx patch you can even disconnect the ds4 after the initial pairing.

They make way more money selling them separately for each console.

Is this just with MKX or will it work with all ps4 fighters? If so I will certainly buy the ps3/pc hitbox if they are still in stock.

What's the two button combination? It stops working when I use my titan one on the PS4. I don't think it's my converter because it works perfectly on the Xbone, but seems to "shut off" the PS3/PC hitbox on me for PS4.

Using it that way it will work with any game on ps4. However you'll need the ps360+ version

You're right. That was unfair.

You aren't providing a lesser service. You guys are offering the same level of availability and pricing that other companies are. I guess I'm just a little frustrated because the multi console hitbox of last gen lead me to assume there would be one available for this gen. I realize they are different circumstances though, and require different technology. I also admit I'm completely ignorant as to WHY a multi console hitbox is more difficult to produce on this gen. So i should probably lay off the attitude.

I love the product man. I used hitbox for over a year and still maintain that it's the best way to play fighting games. I just can't afford to use it for this gen I guess. Which is a bummer.

Is that one of the converters that requires a ds4 to be plugged into it? Because that reset option is only on the ps360+ version.

However for MKX you should be able to do what I said above in response to karaokelove and not have to deal with a time out or converter. (this should work for any game that has the lab zero drivers)

Yeah I have to plug in a system controller first before plugging in the hitbox.

I know about MKX and being able to just plug it in, but my concern is for other fighters that don't have those drivers. I know skull girls does, but I'm not sure if BBCPEX does. Would you happen to know?

No I don't. Honestly I'd just Google it or tweet to the devs and hope you get a response.

Well the long and short of it is last gen someone managed to make a dual mod PCB and this gen it hasn't happened yet. In fact PCB production for this gen of consoles is literally nonexistant right now, you just can't buy a 3rd party PCB like you could with the PS3. Part of it is the new security features of the new consoles and part of it is the general unfamiliarity with the new console hardware and what they require from a controller. We are actually producing our own PCB this time around instead of dealing with a 3rd party because if we had to wait any longer to sell current gen stuff we basically wouldn't be able to maintain the business that we have right now. This will be great on multiple fronts, namely that we *shouldn't* have to worry about keeping stock on hand and if something needs to be fixed we have a direct line to our manufacturer to correct issues.

I mean believe me, if we could do a dual mod PCB this gen like we did last gen, we would do it in a heartbeat. Not just for the convenience of it, but then we could offer something the competition couldn't and it would make the brand more important, which we want. Thing is, we really don't have the time to invest into that research, we need to get a box out there so Hit Box players can compete and kick some ass!

@Zabru I think it works on most fighters, but I'm not totally sure.

@KHAOTIC True Grave You need to make sure your firmware is totally up to date. PM me if you need help with that. Once it's up to date, the combo is R2+Select, then after a second or two you need to press the Home button and select your profile. It takes about 3 seconds in total.

I'll check the firmware when I get home since I'm at work atm. Thanks for the button combination. I'll see if that does anything before I check the firmware.

Hi, I'm from France, I was a DOTA player for 7 years before MK9 cames out (love keyboard), from MK9 I have a console and played with pads, now for ps4 I really like DS4 but it's cheap, I already got 3rd one and after 2 mouths pad starts to make some random executions, that's why I really want an hitbox right now but I should wait ps4 version.

Do you think ps4 hitbox will have jack port for headset ?

Okay, so I already see that there's a bunch of people talking about Hit Box on here, and that's great! Super excited for that. I was looking for the Hit Box thread, but couldn't find it, so either it's buried or deleted, apologies for making this one if someone else finds the other one.

Now none of you know who the hell I am and I don't expect you to, but allow me to introduce myself. I am the Community Manager among other things for Hit Box, LLC. We've had a big presence in the NRS community that we're super proud of, but not much of a presence here on the forums outside of our team players Tyrant and Godspeed. I'm gonna try to keep up with this thread as much as I can and help out as much as I can. Now, I'm no MK player, so when it comes to execution, matchups, whatever, I'm the wrong guy to ask. Tyrant and Godspeed I'm sure will be happy to help out there though! Anything related to Hit Box (or KoF!) I can gladly help out with. That being said, I'm sure you've all read the thread title and are wondering why I won't shut the hell up and say the thing yet, so here it is.

We are proud to finally announce that we are making Xbox One Hit Boxes! We've been trying to make this a reality for a long time and we've finally got something to show for it. We hope to have inventory in and ready to ship by August and we're doing everything we can to meet that timeframe.

So with that done, thanks to all of our supporters and let's krack some skulls!
Whens ps4 ?
