Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Now Has Rollback Netcode for PS4 and P.C.
It has been almost five months since Persona4 Arena Ultimaxlaunched for modern platforms using delay-based netcode. Atlus stated that the fighting game would implement rollback code post-launch before it was ported to PS4, P.C. and Switch. It is now, my friends.
Persona4 Arena Ultimaxhas rollback code on PS4 or P.C., but the Switch version of the game will use the same delay-based netcode as the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Atlus has announced Persona4 Arena Ultimax’snew was rolling back netcode at this weekend’s E.V.O. 2022 fighting games tournament in Las Vegas. If you don’t understand what delay-based netcode means (and it’s a fighting game within baseball, so I don’t blame them), it’s widely thought to be inferior to rollback netcode.
It sends inputs from one player to another online game with a slight delay and then processes the inputs and delivers them to the other game in a specified window. This can work well if both players have an internet connection.
The internet infrastructure is not always as accommodating. This netcode can significantly impact a player’s ability to react quickly if it isn’t perfect. Rollback netcode, on the other hand, is persistent and predicts inputs. It adjusts accordingly to ensure a seamless match. ArsTechnica’s article on the differences between the two can be found.
