Support NeoGAF

[njean777]

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 (which is never really good for unifying a game's user base, even though in this case it might have been unavoidable if it's indeed a Bayonetta 2 + Nintendo 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 would be if they simply go for safety and get the 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 which has been re-released so many times and so recently.

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.

They did show the daigo parry so that may be a hint that the parry system is coming back. But yeah details are to limited as of right now.

 

[Interfectum]

Tomb raider and titanfall not okay , SF 5 perfectly okay. Love it.

I see a lot of people not okay with this.

 

[Nickle]

Hmm....

Amazing.

 

[Chindogg]

This is exceptionally reaching, but the clip of Chun's air combo makes me wonder if air juggles are back in the game.

Ono stated back during vanilla SF4's promotion that mastering SF4 would graduate you to 3S.

Perhaps SF5 is an evolution of 3S?

 

[SolarPowered]

Saw the trailer and screens. It just looks like a super clean version of SFIV.

After so many years with that particular iteration I can't say I'm frustrated or anything. It's just kinda there, I guess. Who would have thought ASW would one day be the king of graphics for fighting games? I've loved ASW for years and even I would have never thought such a thing.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Not really a fan of how this looks. Then again, hoping for sprites in 2015 is a pipe dream unless it's an indie.

Models kinda look like a combination of SF4 models with 3S designs. At least Chun Li does anyway. Maybe you're on to something.

SOMEONE GIVE ME A LINK PLEASE :'(

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

Yeah. Would've been the best Nikolaustag present of all time.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

This is really sad I grew up with Street Fighter 2 on the Super Nintendo and I wish I could play this too but I have an XBox One :/

So buy a PS4 or get in on PC. The PS4 has games worth owning, even now.

Or wait for the Super Hyper Turbo Mega Edition ex plus a on Xbox One.

 

[Bluekaveli]

PS4 EXCLUSIVE? Sold to the man named Bluekaveli.

 

[kenji_sama]

Verendus is god, dammit. SCEJ x SEGA please please

 

[Combichristoffersen]

So, timed exclusive or full-on console exclusive?

 

[Kezen]

Hmm....

Double standards at work.

 

[kpaadet]

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

That is some crazy spin to make the MS TR deal seem better than Sony and SF like holy shit.

 

[Chû Totoro]

Teaser trailer is shit. Maybe we'll see a nice evol from SF IV but I' m not sure to know where they're going.

PS4 and PC exclusive makes me think that Xbox One's going to have it a few month after.

Does someone know if there is some sort of Microsoft "control" over PC games? Can they pressure Capcom like saying : "ok you want to keep it on Windows PC, then put it on Xbox One". I seriously don't know how it works for PC exclusives for example.

 

[orioto]

I like this

Yeah animations are really fucking bad for now..

 

[Canis lupus]

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

Many people buy consoles to play games that are only available on that platform. What a shocker.

Verendus is god, dammit. SCEJ x SEGA please please

huh?

 

[Peanut Butter]

So are people going to boycott this game like they are with Rise of the Tomb Raider since it's "moneyhatted", or whatever?

 

[Herb Alpert]

This thread is strange when you put it next to the one about Tomb raider exclusivity.

 

[Cornbread78]

Tomb raider and titanfall not okay , SF 5 perfectly okay. Love it.

Still hoping this is for japan only. Dumb move

DR3 for XB1 is OK, but
Exclusive Marketing for Destiny is garbage.. yada..yada...yada..


How about we find out the details first before passing judgement? What if Sony bought Capcom, lol? Let's get some details, maybe Sony/Capcom will be completely ambiguous in their answers about it.

 

[Caronte]

Buying exclusivity for this seems a little stupid since we all know they'll release 2 or 3 new versions of it after this that won't be exclusive. They should have paid for Dragon's Dogma 2

 

[Robot Pants]

I do think they needed to completely change the art style. Id be a lot more excited honestly.

Also leads me to think this isn't a true sequel somehow, but like a stepping stone to the true sequel. With the exclusivity and all.

I'm most concerned with how the PC version will play online given Ultra is a pile of shit. I have a Ps4 but I have a 120hz monitor with no input lag, so I want to get it for PC

 

[braves01]

The console exclusivity is kinda shitty, but at least it's also coming to PC. I wonder if Sony paid for the inevitable Super/Ultra versions to be exclusive, too.

I also would've liked a more radical visual overhaul.

 

[vg260]

yeah but will the game have EXCLUSIVe playstation guests to play as?

cole? Kratos? those cute cats toro and kuro?

God, I hope not. Only acceptable in a crossover game.

 

[Krusenstern]

Glad it's not a full exclusive.

 

[TheDarkTriforce]

So buy a PS4 or get in on PC. The PS4 has games worth owning, even now.

Or wait for the Super Hyper Turbo Mega Edition ex plus a on Xbox One.

I can't afford 3 consoles, I also have a Nintendo Wii U. And this would be the only game that I am interrestet in on PlayStation 4 :/

 

[opticalmace]

Legit megaton.

 

[Portugeezer]

I dislike when multiplats games get excluded from other platforms, that said I own a PS4 but I'm not a huge fighting game fan.

 

[Jeels]

Are people just speculating because "fair and balanced" or is it confirmed that Sony has invested in this?

Even if they did investment =/= moneyhat.

Those are really pretty graphics. That style suits the game so well, so unique.

 

[GorillaJu]

Dont care if it's exclusive. If it were Xbone exclusive I'd buy a Bone. I'm just fucking thrilled SF5 is a thing.

 

[Mass Effect]

lol at people wishing for Xbox exclusivity with other games like Kingdom Hearts and Dragon's Dogma. What is wrong with some of you people?

Holy shit :O

No Xbone? Timed exclusive?

We're probably not going to know the full details until either it's officially announced at the PS event or sometime later where it's clarified in PR.

 

[Gurrry]

Tomb raider and titanfall not okay , SF 5 perfectly okay. Love it.

Still hoping this is for japan only. Dumb move

Gotta validate that purchase somehow, amiright?

Seriously, I got an XB1 first and planned getting a PS4 down the road, but still, this exclusivity shit for games like SF5 are painful. It makes me honestly like Sony less. The tomb raider thing made me dislike MS too..

I dont understand how we can be a gaming forum for gaming enthusiasts and have people applaud this business practice.

Dont we want equality?

 

[Kikujiro]

So, timed exclusive or full-on console exclusive?

I'm pretty sure it's timed, maybe not the vanilla version, but SFV will be upgraded just like SFIV since it's a competitive game, so another version may come out on XBOne too.

 

[Jonnax]

Does someone know if there is some sort of Microsoft "control" over PC games? Can they pressure Capcom like saying : "ok you want to keep it on Windows PC, then put it on Xbox One". I seriously don't know how it works for PC exclusives for example.

Nope, Microsoft doesn't have any influence upon applications released on Windows. They may have did if Games for Windows Live took off but it was crap so steam and everyone else pretty much have the market.

 

[SparkTR]

Teaser trailer is shit. Maybe we'll see a nice evol from SF IV but I' m not sure to know where they're going.

Microsoft has zero control over PC gaming, which is why they tried to bury it with the Xbox.

 

[LiK]

Buying exclusivity for this seems a little stupid since we all know they'll release 2 or 3 new versions of it after this that won't be exclusive. They should have paid for Dragon's Dogma 2

More announcements to come. Who knows.

 

[BRIZCorp]

While I'm disappointed in this since I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing Street Fighter on 360, ill just go ahead and get the PC ver till the Xbox One ver comes out, no biggie.

Besides, in my opinion right now Killer Instinct is better and more exciting than Street Fighter, and KI will be a permanent exclusive to Xbox unlike SFV on PS4.

Capcom would be extremely stupid not to bring this to Xbox.

 

[Interfectum]

This thread is strange when you put it next to the one about Tomb raider exclusivity.

You had a lot more pissed off people in the Tomb Raider thread because the lack of even a PC port. Not really a comparable situation.

 

[Stereogatari]

Never got into SF before, always been a Tekken. Perhaps this will be the time.

 

[Ol No Bones]

Xbox One has KI and this is obviously a response to that success.

 

[Durante]

Does someone know if there is some sort of Microsoft "control" over PC games? Can they pressure Capcom like saying : "ok you want to keep it on Windows PC, then put it on Xbox One". I seriously don't know how it works for PC exclusives for example.

No, no one has that kind of control -- and that's what makes PC so amazing.

And that's also what is in danger with MS' Windows store plans, and why some of us are so vehemently, adamantly, seemingly unreasonably against it succeeding in any form.

MS funded and pub DR3 don't get your point. I do agree we should wait for more details

 

[Trey]

ensures the fighting game community is built on PS4.

 

[The Strokes]

So Capcom is as stupid as Square-Enix is apparently.

 

[HeelPower]

lol Did Harada really leak this on twitter ?

Pay back for Ono's Tekken 7 leak ? XD

 

[oneida]

disappointed that it looks so much like SFIV

 

[x Misogi]

you can guess who's who

 

[GrizzleBoy]

I see a lot of people not okay with this.

But where are the multiple, coincidentally timed threads and news articles from Eurogamer etc discussing the inethical nature of exclusivity deals?

 

[BlackVenom]

Tomb raider and titanfall not okay , SF 5 perfectly okay. Love it.

Still hoping this is for japan only. Dumb move

Tomb raider not oke, SFV and Titanfall is oke.
I hate when they force you to one console for your favorite games.
But as long as there are multiple option its not really exclusive.
Thats why the fallout for Tomb Raider was a lot more than SFV.
And please quit it with the GAF pro Sony BS or so now it is oke for exclusivity.
Ya'll sound like children with that attitude.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Meh, I would prefer if the surprise was Dragon's Dogma. SF5 clearly doesn't need Sony's hand to happen, but DD does.

I thought I read that Capcom alone didn't have the finds to create SF5?


Also..........

If this is really true.
