I though online play was P2P. If that's the case he didn't work on the netcode, but probably on matchmaking and stuff like that.

Capcom had only one employee on Street Fighter V's netcode until launch of game
- Thread starter Tripon
- Start date
Just came in to post this. He said he worked on the SFV server stuff, namely capcom fighters network. He doesn't talk about P2P session netcode anywhere.

Yeah, it's not even a top five among Capcom-developed fighting games. Obviously almost all of those GGPO, but still, it's not like SF5 couldn't have done the same.

Holy shit I'm laughing so hard hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
So this is the reason that, despite getting to be part of evey Beta, I only connected and had three games for the whole of the beta period. I'm not kidding.
What odds do we get of finding out a similar profile and learning that the PS4 firmware team and indeed entire PSN infrastructure support is just this:

Or how much Sony helped.

Capcom saving that Sony cash for a rainy day.
Yea I obviously disagree here. It not being even " remotely close"? Nahhh, bruh.
Like I said, some of the best in the industry. Not THE best.

I'm at a loss of words.
I wonder if we will ever get details on this, seriously. The amount of money especially but I can't imagine that Sony was ok with that launch. They made the game happen after all and this doesn't really sound like "money well spent". I don't say the game is bad but the project itself seems to be unbelievably bad executed.
But you can't blame him for the decision to be just one guy. That is unjustified and just wrong. There is only so much you can do as a single person.
Ay man, DMC5 ain't gonna pay for itself.

Damn, i feel bad for that guy. For one dude job, that is actually impressive
That's brutal and harsh, but it's also just one guy writing whatever he wants on his LinkedIn. He might have been the only competent developer; he might not have been the only developer on the netcode pre-launch. People have written all sorts of claims on their resumes before -- and wasn't Sony supposedly helping throughout development?
Would explain a bloody awful lot, though.

...And because people have been falling over themselves right up to release to praise Capcom for not doing full priced disc-based "Super" updates anymore for this game, Paul probably won't be getting the chance to do any big overhauls to the netcode either to shorten load times, reduce the (imo indefensible) input lag and spruce up the menus. Unless they really plan on doing such big updates as free updates, which I highly doubt going by what this game's budget seems to have been and by its struggle to meet sales goals.

my first thought. what a workload he must have had to deal with.
Enough to make it console exclusive so it must be a considerable amount.
Edit: if we're talking about financial help, I doubt Sony helped much at all with the software development side of things.

Another day, another "SFV is a hot mess thread". Sweet.
My thoughts exactly. Luckily for me I have a large amount of flawless matches, but the 1 out of 20 that sucks, sucks hard. Like unplayable hard.
I also don't think that they helped with actual dev support but according to both it was only with the financial help from Sony that the game even happened. So there should be a considerable amount of money Sony spend but I had expected that they "care" more for what they actually spend money for, from a project side of view.
"Hey guys, we gave you x amount of money. How is it going? Any progress so far? What are you planning to do with our money?"
That's too many servers
Because SF5's netcode, matchmaking and servers aren't that good. On top of that, they had 4 and a half beta periods and it's still wonky. The half being the initial beta they had to delay because it simply didn't work.
Yep, lots of people in this thread showing they don't know much about developement and what this job entices.
There's nothing crazy about all this, really.
Pretty much. If the online standards of SFV were up to par then people would be happy.

As a person which hates teamwork, I have to say that one programmer is not really enough for anything involving commercial products. Sometimes snafus happen, and it's way easier to figure them out when multiple people know the code.
guys was probably making modifications to it.

This man, Every Day.
Skullgirls netcode is using GGPO 2. As Mike himself said, it's pretty easy to have good netcode when you simply plug in the best.
It's not what you do, it's the way you transport the message right.
What's this supposed to mean...? If a game doesn't sell it won't be supported, regardless of business model (and that's not the case of SFV). Games has service has nothing to do with SFV's problems.

The more I learn about the development on SFV, the more I'm surprised at how good of a game it actually ended up being, at least as far as gameplay goes. Everything Capcom has done with this game just screams "we're broke".
