It would be so nice to play this online with no lag. I could play this game all day, but unfortunately my friends would rather play SFIV.

Same shit they said after KOF12. I'm not getting my hopes up.

I played the PC version last year, and there was some odd input lag. It didn't feel right at all. I don't mean the netcode, just local.
Someone earlier in the thread said there was a hacked version available for PC.
Is this the one you are referring to?
That was just a straight rip of the arcade machine though? There's been nothing official.

Yes, it's essentially the arcade version adapted for generic PCs, and from what I heard it has some performance issues.

I guess I didn't think much of it at the time. I saw it installed and it looked official... of course it was the hacked arcade. Nevermind.

That's great to hear, the game rocks but it could definitely use a few more characters.
The screenshots in the Steam entry have Squigly in them, and she's been in the beta, so I guess she'll release alongside the PC version?

for anyone else curious about the game, I just wanna say that this game's system is deep enough for fun to be had in the lab. There really are a lot of things to be discovered in practice mode, and combo possibilities are endless. Here are some little combo videos I made for anyone who wants a look-see at what you can do in this game:

that last one is for fans of kill combos, Urien, and Community.

you guys better buy if you want other great FGs on steam.
Skull girls, MK, and SF are already very successful.
I think we are going to keep seeing more and more.
Not yet obviously. The game isn't officially out yet on PC. Though they have additional characters in the works as DLC, and if they do well there might even be more going forward.

Next target would be to convince Harada to bring Tekken to PC, Given his past stance it doesn't look easy.
If by "saved" you mean "releasing a game with shit netcode," then yeah.
Still waiting to be impressed by this "improved netcode" people are hyping themselves up to be.
Read: waiting to go "TOLD YOU SO SNK/SUCKMORE SUCKS" when people find out the netcode hasn't been improved.
I wouldn't mind SC going to the PC platform. With the character creator, it'd be pretty insane to throw in mod support there.
Thats not the pc version man. That's some retarded emulation of arcade hardware. The input lag is so noticeable.

That's how I used to play Akatsuki Blitzkampf. I'd say it worked fine but the game itself is really lenient in terms of timing and execution.

Every single Tekken game ever made can be played on the PC with the exception of 6 and TTT2.
Legitimately. (definitions vary from country to country)
Tekken 1,2,3 - ePSXe
Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 - PCSX2
Tekken 5 DR and Tekken 6 PSP - PPSSPP
Japanese pubs/devs are so stubborn

Bandai Namco is well on the way, thanks to Dark Souls and that Naruto game.

After TTT2 I can't go back to any of those games.

Wel I guess we will have to see if they actually will improve the netcode when the game is officially announced. And then see again if the net code is actually improved, when the game comes out.

Awesome Robert combos man. He seems like a character I would enjoy playing but I just haven't spent enough time with him.
Sentenza
Member
That's a strange stance from him, considering he's an enthusiast PC gamer and Steam user.
I love Tekken. One of the only reasons I keep a console around. I need it on my PC.

Someone start a twitter campaign asking him to bring Tekken to PC. :lol
MezzoForte
Member
thank you! Yeah, honestly I believe he's a very good character. His tools are a little under powered, but he has just about all of them. Obviously he's not A tier but I think more people should use him. Robert is a swag monster.

He's referring to fighting games though, this genre is pretty niche as it is, then you're talking about putting fighting games on PC which has traditionally had next to 0 fighting games or any real support for them on it. I'd be apprehensive about it as well.
To our loyal KOF Fans,
"THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII Steam Edition" will arrive on PC for your enjoyment very soon!
We at SNK PLAYMORE have worked hard to bring our PC version of KOF XIII to our loyal fans and to any newcomers as well. We look forward to seeing this game being enjoyed by PC gamers and KOF fans across the world.
We look forward to receiving your feedback in the weeks to come!

Now that KOF is guaranteed, I set my sights firmly on Halo.
I recall a story telling that SNKP designed KOF XIII to work in the cheap and expensive models of the arcade cabinet that was used for type x-2 games
For that reason, you can feel a little of lag if you don't configure it on the system
That or your pc couldn't run it
I know it's not much but the official Halo group is now private just like the KOF one. A few days ago they were still public or at least you could invite people. Neither of those options exist for either group now.
I'm probably just grasping at straws but I love Halo. Halo 3 at 1080p/60fps and hopefully with mods? there's no words to describe what I would feel if that got announced for Steam

I love his command cross up move. It's great how you can play with any character in this game and do well, you just have to put the time behind it. Also Robert seems very street fighterish, so people coming from that background (like I did) should be able to pick him more easily. That's what makes me even more surprised that I haven't spent time with him.

And mouse/keyboard support.
The groups going away could have been a change on Valve's end. The registry app for Halo was hidden by Microsoft and Valve has really locked down the registry of late.
I'm hoping for an announcement at Gamescom.

"My PC is always the newest (with water cooling system by Aquacomputer from Germany). (The) problem is many PC gamers (do) not have fighting sticks, and it seems that many PC gamers (aren't) interested in fighting games."
I have a fight stick....all arcade sticks are PC compatible btw
I think there are more chances for Virtua Fighter coming to PC (has happened with VF2), rather than Tekken.
SNK released some of their titles on PC in the past but they werent that popular compared to MK or SF (Fatal Fury, Samurai Spirits, KOF99) but this time they are taking it far more seriously. Waiting for some cool palette mods and I hope the modders can add some older stage backgrounds and sound tracks too!
I'd assume this is SNK/Suckmore's "test" to see if there is interest in '98/'02.
Source?
I think Namco is the big hurdle here, not Harada. They handle the PC like a nuisance instead of an opportunity. But if SNK can change their mind and port KOF... there's hope.
