One last question for Atlus
I was thinking to preorder....
Are you willing to guarantee that the online will be at least SSf4 or BBCT standard with a "we are gonna buy the games back from you at a double price if the netcode sucks" program?
Atlus can't guarantee anything, that should be SNKP. What Atlus can do is to check the netcode here in the US and tell SNKP that the netcode they are using works or not.
But unfortunately testing the netcode when no more than 100 people are testing it, will not mean the netcode is actually good. I remember Ignition and SNKP tested the code aednd they said it work great, the could have been lying or saying the truth. But if they were saying the truth, then the netcode went wrong ones everybody started logging in to play online. Which I bet it's more than the possible 100 testers Ignition and SNKP had, and 100 is a exaggerated number IMO.
Hopefully Atlus and SNKP do consider the beta testing, a month or 2 of testing will greatly help the netcode and they should have the first fighter to beta test the netcode in consoles. Although I wonder how long SNKP has been developing the netcode?
