Even though the sticks are ps4 controllers, I'm not sure they are seen as DS4's. Like, when I run DS4Windows, it doesn't see my stick at all as a DS4.

To compensate for the lovely LCDs that will inevitably be placed inside the arcade cabs and to provide a consistent feel no matter which platform you play SFV on, we've increased the input lag on the PC and PS4 releases,

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Taito announced the successor to their Nesica arcade hardware, Nesica x Live 2: it'll be released next year sometime and it'll feature online play between different game centers, similar to Tekken 7. The companies that have pledged support include Arc System Works, Square-Enix, French Bread (Melty Blood, Under Night, Dengeki Bunko), G.rev (Senko no Ronde), FK Digital (Chaos Code) and Examu (Arcana Heart, Nitroplus), and they've also confirmed that KOF14 will be a launch title for the new hardware. I get the impression no filthy gaijin arcades are gonna get this? I know the original Nesica x Live online thing didn't work in America, period, even if you imported a cab.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I seriously don't get why these arcade systems are specifically locked to Japan. Do they straight-up just not want gaijin money, in the manner of some of the weirder doujin devs? Because modern arcade cabinets are based around an internet infrastructure America is not capable of. When you play versus people on most Nesica cabinets you're not actually playing the person sitting next/across from you. You're connecting via the internet and playing a netplay game, it's just the latency is so good in Japan, the difference is negligible if you aren't looking for it. Arcades in America carrying Nesica cabinets is basically the equivalent of someone playing Phantasy Star Online 2 with a fan translation, it's not intended, but the developers aren't gonna stop you from throwing money at them. Lastly, there is not enough of an arcade scene in America to justify Taito setting up a US branch, create servers, and run support for said servers. Much like PSO2, the numbers just don't add up.

I was at the Lost Ark in Greensboro last year and had like a thirty minute set against some stranger in 3S, then introduced my friends to Windjammers. It was great. I really recommend being near one of the four good arcades in the US

Smoking Crow posted:Why aren't arcades dead in Japan I think a lot of it has to do with the types of games that are in arcades are more popular in Japan. Fighting games and shooters have always been bigger over there. Likewise, the ways in which those genres have progressed over the years lends itself more to Japan. Look at all the waifus in the latest Dodonpachi release (I know this isn't exactly a huge game), and the fact that Blazblue far eclipsed the popularity of Street Fighter IV in Japanese arcades. The stuff coming out of Japan went down the otaku Rabbit hole and moved further and further away from stuff that has a global appeal. Lastly, Japanese arcades moved to a format of machines where the game the machine was playing could be swapped out for another one, see the Neo Geo MVS/CPS2 as well as modern stuff like Nesica x Live, whereas US arcades stuck with the one machine/one game format that arcades started with (the exception being the Neo Geo MVS). Also, arcades in America got a really bad stigma of being a place where gangbangers/drug dealers hung out, whereas the Japanese view these places as a bar/place you can go to after work or school, and not somewhere a parent wants to keep their kid from going. I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons, but those are the ones that jump out at me.

Arcades are dead in UK (London) too. It's mostly gaming bars and venues with lot of cabs managed by enthusiasts. There's Vegas next to the old Troc Funland and there's Violent City close to Manor house station. There's a new Heart of Gaming opening in Shepherds Bush too. I do question how Mark actually managed to even get a place like that after me, Simeon, Sendo and Joff left, but I do wish he does it right this time.

They have an exclusivity deal with Sony, so they may not have wanted to hurt that relationship by announcing the arcade release at the exact same time. Or it could be the internal team wanted an arcade version but the Chinese publisher (who I imagine are the ones that secured the Sony deal) made the developers put priority on the PS4 version first and the arcade version was secondary. Also, given the size of the team it was probably easier for them to focus on bug testing/updating a single version, and then porting that final product to arcade, rather than having to do all the work simultaneously on two different versions that are running on different hardware.

One of the biggest reasons why arcades in Japan aren't dead is because of the more centralized nature of Japan as a whole. When you can just hop on a train from anywhere and get to an arcade easily it is way easier to just do that on a whim. This also ends up building a culture that more readily will go to an arcade just to hang out with friends, because it can be a place where friends from all over the place can easily meet up and play some games. Alongside all of this as well is that the sheer amount of arcade games in Japan is crazy and if you go to an arcade like A-Cho you have an absurd selection of things to just dick around playing for the afternoon. Really the biggest thing the SF5 and KoF14 arcade releases is that they will allow these games to have a much larger scene in Japan because the console only nature meant that people who would regularly go to the arcade won't stop going just to play a single game. Now these people who are inclined to play these games will do so while they are at the place where their friends are at. This also means that at the least SF5 will have a scene that could last long enough (in Japan at least) for the game to get the updates and balance changes it needs.

OTOH up in the northwest UK we have Arcade club, which is 150+ machines, all on freeplay, at £10 for a day pass. It's the absolute nuts, though I'd love to take a trip down to Violent city sometime, looks fantastic from the pictures.
