Okay that looks amazing. I'm ready for 1080p 60fps fighter after enjoying some 900p 60fps Killer Instinct.

Hopefully this is not a timed deal that loses its exclusivity with the Supa dupa ultra versions later. Timed exclusives are the worst thing and not an incentive to buy/keep a console.

So you'll feel your PS4 is worth less if SFV gets a release on X1 in two years or so? Okay.

It makes me sad thinking that if this was a Xbone exclusive, everyone would be rioting with the moneyhat and that. But it's for the PS4, so everything's OK.

Anyway, this is huge, but maybe just region/timed exclusive?


Haha, yea I think we would've had a crash if that happened. The larger portion around here went with a PS4 which is why we're OK, but I know a lot of my Xbone friends are going to be pissed! Better be timed exclusive for their sake, but even that isn't good enough, they'll need it in their veigns on day 0. At least PC is an option :p
 
Looks like a high res version of SFIV. II > Alpha > III > IV all looked very different and this looks like the annual expansion pack.

I hope they don't "Smash Bros" this series and mechanically make the same game for the next 13 years with some tweaks.

You're clearly overestimating the IP. There are enough third party franchises on consoles which are bigger than Street Fighter, western and Japanese.
Also, the game is going to be released on PC too which may have soften the price Sony had to pay/invest.

I'm retty sure Bloodborne is going to sell more than SFV on PS4 btw if the Souls games are an indication (when compared to last gens SFIV iterations)

Maybe you are right. I thought SF4 did pretty good? I know I own three different versions of it and only two Dark Souls. Anyways, glad to see this get announced one way or the other.

The interview was after Ultra was announced. Not sure how Tekken is relevant.

If namco could give Harada budget for next gen tekken, maybe one could make capcom see that it could be done for SF5. Or Capcom didn't want Namco to be alone with Tekken as the only jap fighter on the market

If Capcom are making any other next gen console games, I'm expecting them all to be platform exclusive bar Resident Evil.

Resident Evil 7 has way more sales potential than SF V, so is more difficult to buy exclusivity, but I'm sure Capcom is open to do.
 
Where did I question the morality? Or MS?

The last Tomb Raider was a breakthrough for the franchise, so for me it's a step back from a business standpoint for Square. Simple.

Can't catch me playboy.

maybe but if its releasing around the same time as uncharted it would get dwarfed by that on ps4 so maybe ms having it exclusive + marketing the hell out of is better for the franchise. we all know its going to release on ps4+pc down the line anyway
 
This is a really nice coup for Sony, but were people really aching for a Street Fighter sequel?

Besides updating the graphics, what gameplay changes would justify them making a sequel so soon?

I would've preferred they port SFIV and made it free to play with option to buy skins. Dragons Drogma or any other new IP would've been a much bigger megaton.

SFIV came out over five years ago - six if you count arcades. Assuming SFV isn't coming out tomorrow, the gap between SFIV and SFV is longer than the gap between Sonic 3 and Sonic Adventure, longer than the gap between Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess (considerably longer than the gap between Ocarina and Wind Waker), longer than the space between every Uncharted game, every Assassin's Creed game, and could theoretically approach the distance between SF3 and SF4, considering the longest hiatus in series history when it was put on ice.

Why, exactly, is this too soon?

Seems peculiar even more so considering that's across all platforms right? And wasn't Sf4 ported pretty much everywhere eventually?

Yeah, SF4 was on a ton of platforms.

Maybe Ono wanted to make a true current-gen game but Capcom thought the installed base is going to be low for PS4/XBO, hence they didn't green light SFV at the time of the interview last year. Now that they've seen the PS4 sales (both in hardware and software) and maybe with Sony helping out, they decided it's financially viable to bring the game forward.

While I couldn't be more happy to see proof that Street Fighter 5 is actually happening, my enthusiasm is tempered quite a bit by the following:

- console exclusivity -> even if I will personally follow this game to whichever platform it goes to, exclusivity of this type in general is never really good for expanding on a game's user base, especially in a genre that needs more new people coming in. In this case it might have been unavoidable though, if it's indeed a Bayonetta 2 + Nintendo funding scenario;

- too similar art style to SF4 -> which - unlike many here it seems - I did like, but still would have gladly seen replaced by something different and fresh involving leaner / differently stylized characters;

- possibly similar roster / time line to SF4's -> my biggest disappointment by far is if they are indeed simply going for safety by getting the literal SF2 cast in there again. At least make them older or younger or something!

It might make less business sense, but overall I'd much, MUCH rather see them pull a SF3 reboot with a mostly new cast and new visual style and overall atmosphere than doing another SF2 throw back in line with SF4. This series needs to keep reinventing itself to some degree as to not grow stale quickly, especially if it is indeed close to a predecessor that has been re-released so many times and so recently too.

It's a bit too early to tell of course, but them not using Alex or a new character next to a familiar (but ideally at least slightly changed) main stay is not really reassuring me that Capcom is still willing to take some innovative risks on this franchise. A big part of my fun with SF4 was seeing how each character came back in the new engine and art style, but they can't do that again without changing things up some more compared to SF4's by now overly well-established standard.

Mixed emotions for this SF fan, in other words...but still happy overall SF5 is indeed real.

Edit: We also still have to find out who is directing it (Ono?) and who is developing it of course (Dimps?). Hope they will have someone like Seth Killian on board again to help design the fighting system itself.

Woah. I still find stuff like this and the Tomb Raider deal to be a bit weird these days, but they probably have slightly higher hopes of PS4 actually selling in Japan at some point.

Both of these were business decisions. No dev/publisher is going to pass up a free truck of cash. Both Capcom and SE have claimed "they don't have the money" to develop one of their biggest franchises on their own.

This is either stupid for both, or stupid for neither.
 
This is a great day.

I wonder if the "Rise Up" tagline (and the clip of Chun-Li and Ryu getting vertical) indicates the aerial game will play a bigger role in SFV than previous versions.

Visually, SF4 came a long way from its initial reveal to final release. I cannot wait to see how SFV looks at launch.
 
Is this the part where we have multiple threads and news articles discussing how unethical it is to buy exclusivity for multiplat games and such?

Im sensing an ever so slightly different tone/atmosphere from the last time a multiplat was announced as no longer multiplat.
 
So now my main questions are what mechanics have been added, and what has been removed? I saw Ryu charging up at one point during the trailer, but it didn't look like a focus attack--it almost looked like he was popping Instinct, LOL.

Hopefully we get to see more of the game in action.


Well, damn.

c) I miss the days before leaks and "accidental" YouTube uploads. I think this year's Zelda announcement was so impactful because it was surprising. Likewise with Grim Fandango at Sony's conference. I like surprises.

I'd say that it's certain that Street Fighter V will be console-exclusive on PS4.

Super Street Fighter V Turbo Arcade, though? That's anyone's guess.

Big news from Capcom. Leaks are coming late this time.
