Wi-Fi Unplayable?

If you don't yet know, the online play for Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is super laggy that it is practically unplayable. The blame is focused on the Gamespy server used for the online capabilities. What worries me most is that this server is used on most Wii games, including Brawl. Obviously I hope I'm wrong but quite nervous.

If there is a thread on this, please lock this.

Worse case scenario: Having to invite friends over to play

Don't fret, I'm sure it cant be that bad.

Nintendo would not nerf one of the most important aspects of one of its best first-party games.

There was a thread about this. It even mentioned that Dragonball Z game.

NO! I have to beat my little bros 3-to-1 now! And I won't have wifi by time it's out.

I played DBZTB3 on online. Yeah it sucks but believe me it can be worse.

I played battalion wars 2 online and it punched me in face.

Isn't Super Mario Strikers good on wifi?

 

[jamesss]

Super Mario Strikers can be laggy at times

I seen a hand full of other Wi-Fi games that are fine. Some spikes that should be tolerable to an extent. Everything is like that.

But we can't really say as the game... May take up more or less bandwidth (Or whatever) than we think.

That is true. I've played that game and it's pretty good. And for the time Sakurai has been spending on Brawl, I'm sure he'll make Wifi good enough to play on. However, like in any online game, there will still be lag if one of your opponents has a bad connection quality, but you can always just disconnect if you get one of these players.

Well, as long as you have broadband or some dsl connections, your best bet is a Wii Lan adapter. That way, you don't have to have signal interference.

Good Online:
MSC
MOH:3
BT 2

I've played Medal of Honor, which is a pretty fast paced game and I have seen very little lag and only from a few people. I think that there will be a bit of lag online against random people because their connections probably aren't as good as the people you know and there will be items online automatically for basic brawl but if you play with friends and don't like items like a majority of the people here I anticipate very little lag.

maybe this was one of the reasons for the delay. Aparently wifi is harder to nail, than plan old internet.(if there is a difference???)

I play Super Mario Strikers Charged and I have very little problems with it. I am sure I won't have many problems with Brawl's wifi.

And considering I am probably just going to be playing with people on my friends list, I can just check the connection strength.

 

[ricydafrog]

i hear there are a lot of wii games with good wi-fi don't worry

 

[Nietendodude]

Trust me Nintendo and sakurai are working their @$$es off to make this game the best of 2008. I'm sure they are also foucusing more on the online to make it a long lasting and wholesome experience. Also loke it has been said before. MSC has a good online expereince and Brawl is working 3 imes harder on it.

Don't worry peeps it won't be having bad online.

 

[sfox8]

When I play Mario Strikers Charged online I encounter little to no lag. So it must be the game itself, not the server. I doubt that'll be a huge problem with Brawl. Online play for Brawl is one of the major selling points for it. They're not going to mess it up.

who said they would nerf it?? as that implies intentional negative action on one portion for the sake of "balance" overall

i'd say that sounds more like a problem then a nerf

 

[MajinNecro69]

GH3 is really good on Wi-Fi. I strongly doubt that SSBB will have laggy play. That's probably why it was delayed, to make the Wi-Fi better.

 

[Cereal Rabbit]

Jump Ultimate Star is laggy.

It's because the servers are in Japan though.

I hope Brawl isn't that laggy. Mario Kart laggy would be good.

 

[notftomearth7]

I don't think it will be "Unplayable" but it will be tough to play depending on the distance between players.
