"High Chance"
That Tekken
7 Will Not Feature Cross-Platform Play at Launch, Says Harada
|
|
|
There's no denying the
"stigma" that revolves around PC gaming, as mods and hacks are widely
used to exploit every aspect of a game. TEKKEN producer Katsuhiro Harada
recently cited this issue
as one of the reasons TEKKEN 7 will most likely not feature
cross-platform online play at launch. "It's not a matter of the technology for
getting the PS4/XB1/PC players to match up against each other"...

Street
Fighter V Update for PC Version Pulled Due to Malware Vulnerability
|
|
|
On Thursday, SFV's
update on PS4 went smoothly, but the PC version's patch actually made
participating PC players vulnerable
to Malware. Uhh oh. The update included a "secret rootkit" giving any
installed application kernel-level privileges, opening the door for malicious
software. Capcom stated they used the driver to stop PC players from hacking and
cheating, but the "poorly-written" code actually opens up a local backdoor.

Sometimes, "super
moves" in fighting games are so epic that there's a necessity to watch them
performed on every character in the game, as is the the case with Dizzy's
