SIRO FOR MK1
As long its not region locked again.

If NRS pulls a region locked online in 2015 as like the only studio doing this nonsense they gonna lose all my respect.

Everyone else can get it right without region lock so do it too NRS...

then please at least have the option to search for continental connections only. ive played both region-locked and non-locked injustice and i prefer locked by far. im not missing any of these laggy transatlantic sessions.

The devs might not think it's worth the time and money to invest in a feature that only half the player base will ever use. It might be a good marketing trick to proclaim sony has the edge over Microsoft, but that will only help sony and not NRS. So maybe NRS takes a page out of capcom's book and gets sony to fund the game for better exclusives.

Sure. But it shows that they care about players. You can use the same logic towards balance. How many players will care about balance in this game? 5%? Plus PS4 is way ahead of XB1 by sold units so it's not a half.

Netcode, fun service, balance, crossplay, etc. are blocks which build developer's reputation and fan base.

I'd love there to be flags on people who use wireless internet rather than a direct connection so I don't need their packet loss bringing me down, but that ain't the world we live in.

Yeah please get rid of region lock first, not only cause I'd love to play US players too, but because EU injustice is practically dead. On PS4 the people that are playing are mostly scrubs cause it was free on PS4 so everyone jumped on it. It would extend the game's life on PSN by a lot. Although I have to say MK9 is still going rather strong on EU PSN. Anyway, please get rid of region lock.

Cross Gen online play would be pretty cool but it's not that important to me personally. All my important friends are gonna be playing it on PS4. :p

I would like the best experience possible if that means limiting it to people with 4 bars or whatever in my city then so be it...

But speaking to the topic yeah ps3 version is basically a very similar game build by different people with different tools... It will not happen... And really does not need too...

Yet those who are in favor of region locked can't think to ask the people they play where they're from? Do you really loved ranked scrubs that much, or is it just too difficult to ask the dude that's posted on your status/added you where they are from?

I hope they get rid of the retarded region lock first. NRS are ways behind in the online department (Netcode, structure, region-locking, replay channels )

I dont think thats fair to say
whatever your believes are on Online Region lock imo its not acceptable! , what if i want to play someone from TYM thats from the US i cant.

Not everybody is on TYM, and your friends are not always online or playing MK, i dont know about you i dont like hanging around dead lobbies makes the game look bad, and will push people away rather than make them stay
sure if it wasn't for "Random Scrubs" i wouldnt of found so many good players, like Obliviater, Mayjin, Salty, Suomi, etc, etc

So if i wanna play any of the US guys i should just get a US copy too

SF, Tekken, DOA all of the fighters dont have region lock so this game shouldn't be an exception.

you play on Live man so this is not issue for you

i personally think this is a big MUST for me


Typo 101 here sorry about that

Edit:
Misunderstanding

I think Flags are also a must like Letters said for it to work

You misunderstood him. He's asking, to those who are in favour of region-lock, why it's so hard to just ask someone where they're from before you play them. I'm pretty sure he's in favour of no region-lock.

I don't care if a game is cross play or not. However, I feel NRS should implement the flag system, replays, and such. Hopefully the net code isn't terrible.

No chance whatsoever that there will be crossplay between xbox and Playstation consoles.....but I'm still hopping against hope that PC and PS4 will be cross compatible in response to what's going on with SFV. Unlikely though....though if it did I would probably sit out this console generation entirely.

I don't think it's possible. Benchmark for PC version should be doable though.
I think that PC won't have hard region lock though.

From my experience even going from "push the button to play" to using lobbies is too much work. Not even talking about finding opponents "manually".

Anyway, I don't see how restrictive measures are better than giving players some options and indicators to make their own decisions depending on their ideas of good time and circumstances.
