maybe it could have two different development teams so ps4/xbox one versions are different the the ps3/xbox360 one
I will never in my life support the idea that any user base should have a game experience that marginalizes the experience of another simply due to consoles. I don't like console exclusive cast and I definitely don't support the idea of that folks should be given extra gameplay changing features just for owning a particular console over another no matter what gen it is.
Level playing field is HUGE in fighting games. Case in point...fuck SFxTekken gems and mutliple PS3 exclusive cast. Just look at how well THAT worked out for folks and the game's scene in general.
Exactly.
Also, if it runs at 60FPS (if that's what they aim for) on ALL consoles, what difference does it make? The only difference would likely be the graphics and people who are competing shouldn't give two squirts of piss about that.
This really. At most all next gen could have given them is an opportunity to go crazy with particle effects and lighting. I doubt they'd up the poly count on their models heavily if they had gone pure next gen. Plus, in general what good would it do them to make a game thats as costly to develop as a new MK ? Its costly learning to develop for new hardware, its already costly to develop a fighting game as BIG as the ones NRS make and in general the next gen consoles simply don't have enough owners yet to justify marginalizing profits by cutting out laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge markets that you already know how to develop for that you know have supported you in the past and want this title.
Its only smart to go crossgen from both an economic, and developmental standpoint. Makes the fans happy and the developmental costs easier to win back at market.
