Oh, and PS4, pfwah, PC is where it's at!
I'm sure the first "higher" poly models that will hit online will come from the PC version (PS3 and X360 versions are delayed) and the netcode will be slightly better than console versions.Mortal Kombat Series

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
It is region locked, this was already announced a few weeks ago. Not surprised to be honest especially with Netherrealm's history with shitty netcode in their games.

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
Didn't realise it was announced lol.
PC version... i aint got a pc to handle that
PC is the only version we can get models from, unless we wait for the 360 and PS3 ports, but then the models would probs be a little worse lol.

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
Ya afaik most fg developers don't really region lock their games so you can still attempt to play with somebody across the globe. It is possible that NRS just wants the best possible experience for you (hmmm I think I read that somewhere else before... ) but with their netcode history in MK9 and Injustice it doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence that it will be a lot better this time around.
Not sure if somebody can hack the PC version so that region lock is disabled, would be the best way to pway with peeps on the board.

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
From that link you posted it mentions Playstation only... why doesn't Xbox get a region lock and Playstation does? I find that annoying tbh lol.
If I ever got a better PC id be sure to get the PC version because I know there will be more people here playin that version lol.

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
Netcode is just as bad or even worse on PC for both MK9 and Injustice. So you ain't exactly missing out there.
And NRS + Xbawx = dat AMURIKAN connections.

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
^ Do you have the games or is that an anecdote? 
I did buy MK9 on PC right after it was announced and I did seem to have better connections than I did playing the PS3 version of the game. I dunno, maybe more people in PS3 lobbies? Less players on Steam even right after release? Injustice on PC, I dunno. I have the game here but I haven't attempted to install it yet. I guess this is more like a case of YMMV!

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
Not on my own computer, but do on a work and a cousin's PC. The games are still on sale at the moment so I may just pick them up, but really not looking to play them online any way.
And yeah end of the day, it's still just the same random situations and variables that apply. Combination of where they are in the world, n00bs playing on wireless connection regardless of what platform it is on, or for the PC folks, not playing on the best of hardware for optimised and smooth settings and therefore gimping the overall experience for both players.
It's not just the netcode, but too many other factors as well. Injustice is certainly better, but from my experience, I find it's still the same across all platforms.
I have no idea what to expect from MKX though, but from all the rumblings so far from the lucky early players, I see alot of mentions of "Injustice quarity" thrown around.
On a side note, I haven't played USFIV online on PC in a while, and the fact that I have better and near-perfect connections playing with people from France than my own country, will speak for how fucked up that this version of the game still is.

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
"Injustice quarity" doesn't sound good! Funny because Ed Boon was supposedly interviewed about the netcode and he swore that it is better this time around lol! At the end of the day, I think it's also a matter of "trading it off" for the single player experience. They seem to put it all on that rather than the online experience, which is odd for a fighting game.
On a different note, I think the character animations in this game are worse than MK9's. Is it just me or are Erron Black's moves a bit janky/clumsy?

Re: Mortal Kombat Series
Some screenshots... the gory ones are linked, only click them if you feel you can handle it (Don't think the X-Ray ones are bad enough to be link only)
