I recently remembered an interview with Ed Boon. I think it was with GT sometime last year around E3, maybe earlier. I can't remember right now.

But Boon said that for the next gen of MK, they would try to have a bigger emphasis on online play. Tryin to get an old school "arcade feel", being able to play globally, etc.

However, do you guys think this will hurt the actual gameplay? Or maybe do you think if it's handled right, it shouldn't hurt the gameplay much? DOA's online is pretty well structured, with some people not having lag as a big problem, while others did get lag more so than others. Meanwhile, you've got AM2 refusing to have VF online because of VF's gameplay being so framed based and dependent on timing. And then recently, the announcement that Soul Calibur IV would have online play, making it the first time SC will have online.

What do you guys think?
