I'm just trying to figure out what the markets appetite is for a full retail priced fighting game. What was the last massively successful one?

Didn't SF4 sell 3.5M units across 360, PC, PS3 and mobile back in 2009? Is the market still willing to drop $60 on a fighter?

I'm not referring to the die hard fans, just everyone else. I'm not a big fighter guy, but I messed around in KI for a bit because it was essentially F2P.

I can't account for the FGC but I'm not sure how SFV having F2P elements would go over since Street Fighter has a stronger and starkly different mindshare than KI. You're probably right that it could lure more casual players but it doesn't seem like a good long-term strategy to court that demographic.

People are getting this wrong

its not like Titanfall and Tomb Raider where they where announced on BOTH and THEN later changed
especially when TR was a full story sequel (lol do not attempt to use SFs story )

This is more like what MS did with Killer Instinct

a well known FG franchises ip is now exclusive to Sony being FIRST revealed!
"Not Its on Xbox1 too, actually never mind its not" they didn't build up XBox fans excitement and then take it away

is it a Dick move to an extent yes, both its not the same argument as Tomb Raider

Titanfall was never announced for both.

Square Enix said the same thing.

Source? Because I just remember some generic 'it will help us realize our vision' PR statements on the matter. Nothing explicitly saying they wouldn't have the funds otherwise (which I doubt, Square Enix loves throwing money at projects and Tomb Raider sold millions).

Well, if I were an XB1 exclusive gamer I wouldn't be that concerned tbh

Super Street Fighter V multiconsole within six months probably knowing Capcom :D

Ultra Street Figher V six months after that :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.

Street fighter established that rep long before smash bros.

In the first deal one game is exclusive to the console with the lowest install base, in the other the game is exclusive to the console with the highest install base, PC and arcade machines. Sure it sucks but financially the second business deal is way better than the first one.

Or you could put the game out on all of them and have even more financial success.

Now that you mention it, yeah, Capcom and Ono have been teasing SF on PS4 for over a year now I believe. No entirely unexpected.

Hopefully this results much more like the Back and Forth that happened between the SNES & Genesis and their Street Fighter 2 versions and not the downward spiral that happened to other series...

Man, that is one ridiculous announcement. Looks like I built my PC at the perfect time for all these megaton announcements (REmaster @ 60 FPS on PC, SFV console exclusive to PS4 + PC).

Bring it on.

OK....just saw the news on Gematsu. Exclusive?
Any explanation for this yet? Did Capcom get another idiot attack? Did something happen after DR?
Did my penis really shrink four sizes?

I hope you are too!

I wasn't, I'm an idiot.

Anyways, I really like the art style, everything looks crisper and I'm glad they left some of the cell shading behind. It makes the game look a lot better even though I really loved SF4's art direction. So excited for this, hope it's not long until we get to play it. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I really like the look of it actually, which is a relief because the first game play footage of SFIV was pretty rough and kinda killed my excitement for a while there. I think they really got to where they wanted to go with that art style, and I have no real complaints with how 5 looks right now. So glad there's a PC version, just hope there isn't too long of a delay.

A psx announcement or game awards? Or did u just hear about it?
Click to expand...

I thought it was going to be at PSX personally. That was the impression I got.

I'm the same as I always was on this subject, though. Really glad SFV exists, but unless it was never going to exist otherwise, not a fan of it being withheld from XBO owners.

KI is 1st party. This is 3rd party.

You have an Xrd Faust Avatar and you're asking about exclusives?

The main reason I think they will go this route its how much Capcom loves DLC and how well fighting games fit into the F2P format. Other than the obvious mobile games, I can't think of a single other genre which fits the F2P model than a fighting game.

the graphics look terrible, seem identical to playing sf4 pc on high


the pc version softens the blow. had it been full blown ps4 exclusive then the reactions might have been different.
Click to expand...

Personally I don't believe a PC release does much to soften the blow in situations like these (See: Titanfall). Honestly I think it's more of a Sony vs. MS thing and which company is doing what that has the larger impact on driving the tone of the discussion.

I'm definitely upset about the news, but if this is a Titanfall/Bayonetta 2 situation and it was either this or no SF5, then I'm glad we have the game.

i know the feeling of everyone on the thread about it, some are good some are not, but isnt cost to remember that the video is for a announce on the PSX, so, lets just hold ourselves before any crazy assumption guys :)

Is this what happens when all we hear from Xbox people for 2 months is competition is good?

I hate exclusive deals like this, but oh well I love Street Fighter.
