OFFICIAL Street Fighter 4 thread...

[haterforever]

yeah that's the crap about it. when it comes out i guess i'll test it out before i decide to buy

[Berzerk]

As a stand-alone game, Super Street Fighter IV won't be compatible online with its predecessor. However, Capcom has said that the game won't be a full-priced game, and the publisher plans to offer a special bonus to gamers who already own Street Fighter IV.

doesnt seem too bad, just hope there is a lobby system in place this rounds...

[rassmatic]

the gametrailers....trailer look real mad.

[Arcmanov]

Laertes my boy...I understand everything you said there, but I just don't agree.  We now live in an age where
everything you described can now be integrated into an existing property via a DLC update.

I already bought TWO copies of the damn game already.  Its not like I can sell em back easily.
Who's gonna want em now that this one is being released?

Well, Capcom not getting any more of my money.  They get enough already.
I don't care how 'vast' the changes are.

[shivadee]

It is interesting that you say that Arc.
Just pointing out that reselling is illegal in Japan and SF4 is made in Japan by a Japanese company. Since this has been announced at the TGC Japan I would imagine they released the news without legal implications.

of COURSE there is a huge US fanbase as well, and reselling in other countries is completely fine. What I am interested in seeing is how they intend to pull their audience with an "upgraded" title.

What I am seeing here is Capcom again experimenting with new ideas. Same way the implemented the 15 dollar multiplayer in RE5 is the same why they are doing "upgrades to disc" scenarios.

Not saying this will or will not work, what I want to know is where they getting the ideas saying that it should!

Hopefully when SSF4 comes out men gonna start playing seriously again. Fed up hearin it have no competition in Trinidad to look fwd to.

[rb]

So incog basically you in a area with more competition abroad and you wanna come back to pwn trinis who have less exposure to good comp all round? Sounds like Prez to me.

I hope to do the same...someday

[stalebread]

LMAO. Seriously the most practice I get are against 2 other trinis. 3 of us practiced and then went to play with some high level people and make a rell good showin. Goin back again tonight and expect to do even better since we level up since den. Trinidad small enough that a solid scene could come together since everybody relatively close. I remember a couple gg tournies where we had close to 20 people turn out. That's more than most scenes see. People just need to commit to it and support it. Nuh like we hadda drive 2 hrs just to get some local matches in or sumtin. And I hold to the belief that for some reason we naturally more talented than majority of US players. Prez not the only trini abroad who have talent. Every tourney I attend so far up here had people with at least trini roots. We just dont hear about them.

*ninja edit* finally start givin prez solid competition on psn lol

[TriniXaeno]

you giving prez competition??? I better start training with you too.

lihixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just read back through some posts and I have to agree with Arc.

Bought SF4 for both PC and PS3.

I think technology has progressed to the point that you can make considerable changes to your title in field.

That was a "PC" only feature and we are accustomed getting that for free.

Consoles have never been able to do that. So Rev1.04a of Street Fighter 2 would be called Street Fighter 2 Turbo and require another purchase.

Now, they CAN!

Granted, only people with their consoles online can benefit.....but DLC already makes a compelling (and field tested) reason for anyone owning a console to hightail it to the nearest net connection for a fix.

Even if they do charge, $5 or so for the added content, no big deal.

If they want to keep the old school console "buy another copy of a slightly modified game" approach as a $$ grab, not much we can do but lament.

Either way, I'm stoked for a more SF4 goodness. Economics notwithstanding.

Capcom getting my $$ for sure (and yes, that's sad, lol)

[stalebread]

I thought about if they were to simply do a DLC update a bit and I think I'm fine with the route they took.

1- If they simply did DLC then everyone would be forced to DL it (whether or not they were charging) and that's forcing owners to have a gig or so of sf4 on their ps3 at least.

2- They're changing/tweaking animations of some characters that already exist, based on the code it may be hard to just tack that stuff on meaning the old models may just be come obsolete. The whole framework could become convoluted.

3- What laertes said

4- At least they're releasing it at a reduced price (who say 30 dollars US... ok 40ish... hmmm wonder if Trinidad sellers will take advantage or be fair with it)

I'm more concerned with no arcade release causing western world gamers to consider it a lesser title than T6 and continuum shift etc.

Either way I'm gonna be on it (and BB:CS and maybe even T6) hard

[Arcmanov]

...and that attitude is EXACTLY why Capcom, and by extension EA, could get away with this $#!t all the time.

@ rb ==> Fine...I'll STFU about it, and my wallet will stay closed.

I'll download the PC version whenever it comes out.


That is all.

[TriniXaeno]

lol, arcman doh be hatin'

How many piece o ish games we have to go through before a gem like sf4 comes along?

Let the developers make their money grab. If was a crap game, we wouldn't even have this discussion.

If these guys run with too thin a margin, when a recession hits...they'll fold and goodbye capcom.

No SF10 in the year 2020 for your kid to play. lol

Stalebread, the DLC could be done in a clever way. At Launch of Title you chose which mode....Standard SF4, or Super SF4.

It probably won't be a delta  of 1gb.

If they wanted, they could....but say wha.......lihixxxxxxxxxxxxx either way.

[rassmatic]

Finally some footage of Dee Jay!!!

[TriniXaeno]

Yeah, Dee Jay is done pretty well. Never was a T-Hawk fan though.

Excellent video by the producer.

Enjoyed every second of it.

Pity he did not mention anything about improved online play. Improved Lobby system or tournament modes.

They hinted at a lobby mode already. I think they said something like they were looking into HDR's system or something. Hard to improve online in a game that requires so much link timing. They can't take it the direction of BB's I don't think because it would mess with it overall. But I get green and yellows fairly consistently. I also like the Championship mode component already... maybe pushing hosted tournies? Like actual online ones held by capcom? That would be gdlk.

GS at deejay. T.Hawk looks beastly though not my style either. Doubt I'll even play deejay too.. or juri since she's getting so much hype. Keeping my fingers crossed for karin.

[rb]

EX series wasn't made by capcom. Don't think it's recognized as canon in storyline either.
