i think that they are going to do like DICE did with Battlefield..... they are gonna update "chunks" of the game.... this BETA is pretty much the CTE that DICE has.... but like you, i have a very limited "knowledge".....
OR
I think we're being duped. It's not a variant but more so of them saying "Here's GGPO, but we have to be discrete and SAY it's a variant to avoid copyright infringement... and the fact that 7 years of horrible online experiences aren't really getting out attention but SFV is. So, here you go."
NRS wants to keep creative control. In order to ensure this, they must not owe anyone anything. Their games are very violent and they don't want anything licensed outside their jurisdiction to become a part of their game because it would allow for the infiltration of those that would undermine their work to be able to wrest creative control.
I mean if its was GGPO then it would mean they bought the license from the Canon brothers like Mike Z did and wouldn't have any problems to advertise it as GGPO in a direct straight way. To me is something else, something doesn't feel right to me.
Why you'd put quotation marks around knowledge? ya lost me.i think that they are going to do like DICE did with Battlefield..... they are gonna update "chunks" of the game.... this BETA is pretty much the CTE that DICE has.... but like you, i have a very limited "knowledge".....
Well rollback netcode doesn't mean GGPO. But GGPO does use rollback netcode. Same way SFxT used rollback but I don't think it was GGPO. SFV is using rollback but it's their own thing. The only uneasy part for me, is whatever NRS churns out as "Enhanced Online". They have had bottom of the barrel netcode since 2011. Now they are trying out a whole new system on an already made game. I just hope Injustice 2 doesn't suck ass now. I might actually buy that game. Unless they design like this game. Then I'll just sit out from 50/50 plus frames abusable everything Kombat.
i'm not an expert.... and my knowledge, is very limited... lol
I mean it is fishy to associate their rollback netcode with GGPO, as if they were using it (from Boons twit). Not every roll back netcode function that great as GGPO, GGPO has a very high standard associated to it because people know it works almost flawlessly. It's like those chinese companies that try to sell you bad clones with names like "Noika", "Soni", etc.
