Any word on whether this will require the paid Nintendo online service when that launches? It would suck if it does, considering you don't need PS+ or Xbox Gold to play.

EDIT: Seems you do need Xbox Gold. That sucks. You don't need PS+ though.

Is this game good?
It's free on almost every platform, if you want to form an opinion the quickest way is to try it yourself since everyone else gets rather opinionated about their views so it's not worth asking other people.

Oh wow, I wonder how they managed that. Even games that don't touch xbox or sony servers usually require + or gold. Here's hoping the same holds true for nintendo.

You actually need gold to play it on xbox...
Oh, word? huh. From experience you don't need PS+ and so for some dumb reason I figured it would be the same on Xbox.

I knew we could not have the best of both worlds.
Well, matches are around ~100 people so that would be a difficult local-play session. Maybe when Playgrounds mode comes out.

Yup. You can play it free on ps4 without having a plus subscription. But on xbox one you need to have a gold subscription to play it online.

It also explains why sony offers two exclusives skins for ps+ users.

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
