"No one will touch Strive again": Fighting game community reacts as Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator and Rev 2 gets rollback netcode

sportskeeda.com:

Arc systems have some major updates in store for Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator and Xrd - Rev 2 in the near future, with both games getting rollback netcode. The same feature is currently available on Guilty Gear Strive, and fans now worry about the game's future.

The previous games were known for their quality and overall performance, but the absence of rollback netcode was always a hindrance. Rollback netcode allows players to avoid limitations that occur as a result of geographical distances and offers a much smoother online experience for players worldwide.

Fans are in a serious dilemma with rollback netcode now coming to two older titles in the franchise. Although the community is happy with the decision, some feel that players will gravitate to the older games instead of playing Strive. Whether this prediction comes true remains to be seen, but fans have taken to social media to express how they feel about the upcoming change.

Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator was released in 2014 and is considered by some to be dated by today's standards. Many believe that the game was plagued with multiplayer issues. However, things will change for the game and its sequel when Arc Systems implements the same rollback netcode that's part of the recent Guilty Gear Strive.

The decision has pleased many fans in the fighting games community as the older titles are fantastic games in their own right. One fan feels that nobody will be interested in playing Guilty Gear Strive once the rollback netcode is implemented in the older games.

Another player feels that not many will likely switch to Guilty Gear Xrd games, given that they're far more complex . Additionally, the older gameplay mechanics and design could also deter players.

Some are amused that
