Plus the steam version has the natural setbacks all online fighters have with its stunted player base. You are correct in that modern fighting games do need major content updates and DLC to maintain a sizable active player base. It will probably die pretty soon after Rollback is implemented. I feel like the game will have short lifespan, but nobody knows about the future. Although I'm not sure about the playerbase in PS3 and Xbox, but looking at Moopoke's stream I don't think there's too many players aside from his circle playing it back then. The game is simply a port without any retouches, so its +-0. Regarding the price, knowing that they put little effort in this port does not make the game attractive in my opinion. Nowadays a lot of fighting games come out with procedural updates because it is also needed to retain their playerbase (while milking their customers' money) simply because a new DLC means players are going to try it out. Unlike the 3 mentioned above, P4AU is in a worse spot simply because there is nothing to look forward to in the future, hence there will be no spikes of player base anymore except rollback. What I'm worried about the most is the playerbase. I bought MBTL, and that game feels dead with 100 concurrent players, while Tekken and Strive still has healthy playerbase. There is a reason why i still play Tekken and Strive, when i doubt about other fighting games. Losing players in a game is something that will happen. The next one, however, is different in my opinion. The Ultimax is a final package of the game, this part is very true and I don't think there's anything to discuss about it. ![]() However, I have different opinions on some parts. This is just the port to bring it to more modern platforms. I would not expect any additional content being added to it. That's part of why there's Ultimax at the end of the title name instead of only Persona 4 Arena. It's not Definitive Edition in name but that's basically what it is. Originally posted by DevilHunterWolf:This is already the version with all the DLC in it. And if you really want to know it has any staying power, then look up PS3 and Xbox 360 forums for the game and see how healthy the player base remained because it's been a finished game for years. If you want to play with other players, now is the time to do it. It's hot right now because it just got released and then will get another potential spike with the rollback netcode. ![]() It's not a full priced $60 (or even $70) USD release so it's already at a decently attractive price for a fighting game with all its content (feel free to disagree). Eventually all the players that are left are if there's a tournament crowd still playing it and just the few dedicated fans playing. ![]() Games don't generally have an unending cycle of content. That's just what happens to all fighting games, even successful ones. Popular games come out and the numbers dwindle as people are playing something else. A new fighting game gem comes out and people flock. If you're worried about fighting games losing players then you'll basically never buy a fighting game. This is already the version with all the DLC in it.
