Since T7 is built on Unreal 4, wouldn't that make it easier to port to PC? I'm just assuming this outta my rear end with no development knowledge whatsoever.

MKX runs on UE3 and was made and ported by non-Japanese studios and they still hosed up the port.

i wasn't specifically thinking it running like poo poo if its a crap port, more netcode being bad on pc. it running bad is a good chance too. This is the first Tekken on PC right?

That has more to do with Warner Bros. than it does with how fighting game developers view PC ports.

This is true. Warner Brothers are a total poo poo fight with their PC ports these days, even if ostensibly they're building on engines that simplify the process greatly, they still have a lot of disdain for their PC releases, as evidenced in all the poo poo that happened over the final Arkham game.

It's the company WB was using to port their games that was garbage, IIRC. MKXL fixed most problems I had with the PC port, from how terribly optimized it was to the netcode (That one was on NRS, their original code was absolute garbage). Of course, then they just decided to drop PC for the Injustice 2 release.

Tekken has had good netcode for a while, due to it being 3D they can "cheat" a bit with input buffers to the point where it shouldn't be a problem. As for port quality, we'll see, Namco hasn't really done many ports as a developer, their published games have been solid.

Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess.
Most of Namco's PC ports have been good (God Eater, Xenoverse/2, Assault Horizon, Berseria) with the occasional garbage (Symphonia). It will likely be fine.

Is there a technical reason all these games come out without cross play? Legitimately asking.

It's difficult and takes a lot of dev time, then it's frequently broken and requires a lot of attention after release.

Edit: thought you were asking about PC cross play.

With Tekken specifically it's because they can't support cross play between XB1 and PS4.

PS4 and XB1 use different security protocols for peer-to-peer connections and neither one wants to bend to accommodate the other, essentially - a couple games do PS4/PC, Killer Instinct does XB1/PC but you won't see any fighting games doing PS4/XB1.

It makes sense for alot of games but there is some types of games where m+kb is superior to controller in every way. Like fps, rts, mmo.

To do console/PC crossplay you're basically on your own in providing a matchmaking service, since Microsoft and Sony won't let you integrate Steam or something with XBL/PSN.

You see this with SF5 and CFN, which is a hot loving mess and doesn't work because Capcom is much less capable of developing and maintaining such a thing.

If you don't have crossplay, you get to use the servers and matchmaking infrastructure provided by the platform which is much easier and cheaper.

With flaming Canadians and such :(
Tekken7 is also built around arcade to arcade netcode and on a Windows like platform. The real question is how things around the game that are home version specific like menus, lobbies, and customization navigations work. Tekken tag 2 was good enough about those things so I'm not really worried about tekken7.

Injustice 2 PC won't be out for a long time, they'll probably wait for the GOTY re-release to put it out.

So, how well would KOF 14 work with a gamepad? (PS4)? It's only 4 buttons. I don't see myself having the money to get a stick for a long time.

You just set the face buttons to work as the four buttons, like any other game that has <x buttons, where x is the number of buttons on the pad.

When me and my bud were big on kof 14, he played pad and it was mostly fine. He did say he felt that hopping could be a bit imprecise at times though but maybe that's just him?

very happy to see KOF14 getting more exposure on PC, it's a very cool game and SNK is doing great work. I hope they continue to tinker with it and make more characters and stages.
