This feels like forward thinking, I like it. Most people just want straight ranked and exhibition and koth, which if done right are all you need for a fighting game, however, something that integrates the story, the idea of the 'tournament' in the story, an evolving story-line online experience, would be very interesting.
This would be a fun idea, dunno how much the free roam would be necessary or even enjoyable if you went into a 2D fight though after challenging them, seems like a novelty
I can guaran-fucking-tee you that they're going to be putting in WBID integration or something to that nature. Isn't it in every game WB makes?
not a bad idea, but what's the point when you already have twitch...? kind of out sourcing them... and it's alot of development time to implement it.
dota does it and they have infinitely more players. if you have steam download dota 2, they have a watch tab where they show a list of tournaments you can watch with location, a brief summary etc. people can still watch on twitch (which is still the 3 most viewed game most 0f the time) or choose to watch it in game like a KOTH but no effecting the connection.
I also remember him saying it's something that everyone will be a part of. Being a tournament, clan system, or a mode of some sort.
The console doesn't dictate whether the netcode is bad or good. It's the actual code and how it's designed. Killer instinct runs very well because it uses a rollback style netcode. NRS games tend to have the input delay system to mask the latency. You don't get missing frames, broken frames or rollback issues but the inputs are substantially delayed which makes their games unplayable online, unless you call playing while drowning in quicksand good netplay.
This was my guess also, something like MKD Konquest multiplayer mode with players challenging each other for control of some realms/territories
