Because there will be more beta tests and who knows how those will be distributed. This is an easy way to get a bunch of preorders for a game that's nine months out.

Sort of rhetorical question, I knew that this was the reason.

 

[Hex]

Then why wall it behind preorders?

You do not have to be in the beta you know.
If you can not handle bugs and issues, betas are not for you.

 

[BY2K]

Okay, what's going on with Floe?

It's a double edged sword. On the one hand I sort of expected this because A) this shit always happens and B) this game is still like 8-9 months away, which led me to believe that this is an actual, real stress test/beta and not a glorified demo, on the other hand developers have gotten people used to Beta's being glorified demos because they have used them as preorder incentives for so long now. Yes we all know what a beta really "technically" is, but you know damn well Capcom is selling this as "Preorder now to play the game early!!!" not "Preorder now to sit in front of your TV for a couple of hours while we test our server loads!" Once you start selling these things on Amazon and Gamestop you are going to run into the crowd that doesn't care and just wants to play what they were promised.

 

[Xpliskin]

Seems like the load estimate was waaaaayyyy off lol

Honestly. People will bitch about a anything. Not every game has a beta and it's disastrous at launch. I hope because of these problems now we avoid it later.

Oh sorry I missed your previous post because you were on my ignore list.

I'm more miffed at the concept of selling betas to customers than anything.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

They're restarting the servers for recovery work in 5 minutes.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

People do realize there's more than one beta right? If this one is terrible, it's not like your preorder bonus/incentive was somehow ruined. More is coming.

 

[Nuts.Pistachio_Nuts!]

Now in endless loops of errors, feels like practice for combos woohoo!!!

 

[enzo_gt]

Anyone get in recently? Feels like it's just down now.

 

[Squishy3]

Servers are being restarted right now

 

[beyond_death]

Aahaahah Floe.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The whole purpose of this test is to break the servers. That's what a stress test is, right?

I didnt know it was a stress test exactly.

With regard to you can not log problem , we will re- start the server around 11:25 for the restoration work .
By its influence , those who are game play will return to the title screen .
We apologize for the inconvenience , but we ask that you please acknowledge .

 

[vypek]

Where does the news of restarted servers come from?

EDIT:

Nevermind. Its been posted

 

[Kaako]

Got like 20 back to back to back server/update errors. Shit is hard down indeed I feel.

I'm going to play some Transistor while I wait.

[Sword Of Doom]

Ah, the Beta Cycle.

The people complaining they can't get on and the people defending that its a beta.

Meanwhile, in the middle, this was the main marketing tool used to entice people to pre-order the game. So far, nada. So...the needle probably favors the people who would like to play since they went through the trouble of putting down money (not any people who scammed Amazon).

So the beta should run flawlessly because people had to preorder the game?

 

[robotrock]

I am now a fan of Floe. Seems like a cool guy from the stream.

 

[Nuts.Pistachio_Nuts!]

I feel like this title screen is the game version of that "please respond" thread from off topic side.

Was it laggy?

Kind of.

No actual delay on my button presses, but it would stutter and slow down a bit.

Hell, I'm surprised I was able to finish the entire match and not get disconnected.

¯|_(&#12484_|¯

Sounds like a good idea to me. I actually need to go through my PS+ backlog anyway.

Oh well, hopefully it'll work better tomorrow, shame because I really wanted to try it.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I didn't pre-order anything to get into the beta, sry America.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Japan

No clue to be honest. I am guessing Japan? Its 11:30 am right now in Tokyo though.

Edit: Yup. Thanks to Vire for posting that tweet.

 

[Kaako]

they basically mean we'll boot everyone off and allow new players to play. and continue the error soon after.
