Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Leaked?
- Thread starter oldmario
- Start date
What promise did they break? You dont need to buy this if you already have SFV. Any new modes, upgrades, or features will be given to existing owners for free besides characters (& we could get 4 characters for free according to one, albeit dubious, rumor).
I mean, it would still be true? All copies if SFV will be upgraded to Super SFV or whatever they want to call it.

Every single rumor about Super SF5/SF5 Arcade Edition/SF5 Electric Boogaloo/whatever points the same way - that this will be a rebranded rerelease and a free upgrade for existing owners. If this is the case, they haven't gone back on anything and you'd have to be seriously stupid to not be able to comprehend this

Just go ahead and put Menat on the cover. JUST DO IT CAPCOM.

From the article I linked, "Though downloadable content (DLC) will remain a constant fixture for ”Street Fighter V," Capcom has promised that the first disc of the game will be the only disc.". Which contradicts this new Arcade Edition release.
Care to explain how they're lying?
No, it doesn't, because people that bought the original still only need the original disc. Do you expect them to not update a new version for people that want to buy it at retail?

I have all the achievements in SFV. Do you think they'll add more and fuck up my 100%?
(If you bought SFV Vanilla, it upgrades to SFV AE for free)
Just like SFV S1 updated to SFV S2 and SFV S2.5 balance updates.
They said a thing that I think means another thing, but not the thing they actually said!
fucking Crapcom!
It would be nice if a re-release gave SFV the shot in the arm the game needs but it honestly might be too late. They should've done something like this a year ago. No one except the competitive community still plays it and from what I've heard it sounds like no one in the competitive community even still enjoys it.

Nice. This is what I was holding off for.
Now if there's a GOTY edition of Nioh that's me done for the rest of the year.

Or... this is a poor turn of phrase on the part of the article writer. A click through to the source reveals the original quote:
"This is the only disc you're ever going to need to own to get all of the content in the game, but we'll be revealing details of how our post-launch content happens at a later date, but it will be good news,"
So! If you own an SF5 disc it will indeed continue to be the only disc you'll need thanks to a free update, but newcomers, tournament organizers wanting to download less stuff or those looking for a shortcut will be able to pick up a disc of the new edition.
Is this so hard to comprehend? Please read.
Capcom literally said you only need to buy ONE disc. Not that they wouldn't make other compilation versions.

What's the difference between that and SF4 though?
Do we actually even know what this is or that it's even real yet?
That's a pretty misleading paraphrasing of what was promised. The actual quote from that famous but apparently unread PS Blog post was:
And so far Capcom have been true to their word.
Vanilla SFIV eventually became obsolete and was incompatible with later revisions. There was no way to upgrade to Super SFIV outside of buying the new version, and even the later upgrades rolled system and balance updates behind an upgrade fee. The way SFV handles this is that you receive essential updates at no cost so that even if you're not interested in new characters or stages your Vanilla SFV disc will always be compatible with the newest revision.
People really just want to yell at Capcom. They're doing exactly what they said, but because they want to add a prefix or suffix to the SF5 title, people that don't want to actually read are going to have stupid hot takes like this.
I doubt it's to late, a rerelease would give it the shot in the arm it needs. I also don't believe you that the competitive community doesn't enjoy it and only play it because they have to.
SF4 required you to buy Super Street Fighter 4 because the original street figher 4 wasn't upgradable after Super Street Figher 4 than you could just buy the dlc and it would upgrade accordingly.

If you have SF4 and SSF4 came out, you NEED to buy SSF4 to get access to any of the new shit. You're literally stuck with an outdated game that nobody plays and Capcpom isn't supporting.
With this, you can buy SFV at launch and still manage to have as many stages and characters as a person who jumped in 2 years later.
Vanilla SF4 forced you to buy the new disc. Later on they implemented downloadable updates and charged for the whole update. Presumably, content such as modes will be free this time around according to rumors and the precedent Capcom has set with SFV so far (Cinematic Story Mode was free). Hopefully only characters and stages will be continuing to carry a cost.
$40 dollars versus $0 damn dollars difference??

That's the only one though. All of versions of Super were digital upgrades.
Is it confirmed to be a free update? Why title it? What's distinct about it from S2 update?
I kinda just want info at this point. No idea why people are attacking or defending capcom based on nothing but speculation based on some store listing
Yes, they were cheaper, but the same issue remained. If you didn't buy the upgrade, you couldn't play with people who did.
Could I play with people who didn't buy the upgrades? I forget.
What's different? Every SF gets updates with title changes that signify it's something substantial. S2 was just a balance patch. Rumors suggest this is more in line with SF4 > SSF4, SF3 2nd Impact > SF3 3rd Strike, etc.
You could not.
By the end of SF4, Vanilla, SSF4, AE, and USF4 were 4 separate matchmaking pools online.
There was version select I believe, not sure if they allowed cross play between games
So...yeah, pretty huge difference. lol
Right...if I bought the game and wanted to play with people who didn't (probably zero people), I could go backwards, but anybody that didn't pony up got, ahem, left behind.
Not splitting the playerbase is a pretty fucking huge deal 2 years in on a competitive game.

ok so it's still nothing but a rumor right now.
I thought with all the arguments we had something concrete.
Which still locked balance changes & new modes behind a paywall, thus splitting the player-base. Capcom's new method of updates for SFV differs from this since...
...as per Capcom's promise, all gameplay-related updates (modes, balances changes, gameplay features, etc.) will be absolutely free to avoid splitting the player-base. In the case of characters, since they impact gameplay, you'll be able to earn them for free via Fight Money. The naming for this is basically a glorified update for Season 3 if the rumor is true.
It's mainly what we should expect as per what Capcom said about how they'll approach updates. But yeah, these are all rumors for the time being.

There's a lot of reasons to believe it though.
Traces of new stuff in the V-System was found in the game's files, they've overhauled their websites to include a lot more functionality indicating it might be used in the actual game in a future update.
It remains to be seen exactly what it'll be called but a big update is coming.

What happened to that Street Fighter 25th anniversary compilation that was rumored a month back? Was it fake?
I think you could, but you literally had to to downgrade SFIV to whatever version they had.

Meant more so for characters. Owning a vanilla copy of SFV, I feel really gimped content wise. So I wouldn't mind paying for a cheap upgrade.
Ah, there are 2016 Character Passes at a discount (& I'd imagine that the 2017 Character Pass will follow suit next year), so you could just opt for that. The amount of Fight Money you'll save should be enough to get you the characters in Seasons 3-5.

You'd probably just save like $10 bucks.
So if this supposed edition came out and was $40. There would probably be an upgrade option for $30 if you owned the vanilla game.

They were digital, but crucially you had to pay for them and you couldn't experience the rest of the updates without paying. The equivalent here is if Ultra were a 'free' update where buying it let you select the new stages and characters, but if you didn't you could still play against those with those updates free with the balance updates etc.
I doubt it. The modes & gameplay changes will likely be distributed to all SFV owners via a free update, leaving us to only earn/pay for the characters.

Well it is slated for an October release, so we are better to just wait and see if it comes true.

Will be the only disc you need to buy.
What is the issue with having re-releases with old content for late adopters and tournament convenience? This doesn't affect current owners at all.

It's great if it actually works out that way.
but it seems contradictory to their in game business/pricing model. Right now you can't even purchase the game and all characters in a bundle for 60 dollars. So it seems weird to me to imagine that they're planning a boxed release for 60 or less with all back content.
I know what they promised initially but....I'm skeptical until they come out and tell us how this works. Plans can change. Especially when games underperform.

I always welcome the possibility to get the upgraded version on physical media. Day 1 if true.
It's...pretty simple. The game with S1/S2 characters is often cheaper than 60 bucks. They release that with a new character pass for the S3 characters.
TheSpoiler

The content on this disc will be a combo of s1 and 2 content sans the premium costumes. S3 content will probably not be included. All the modes and extra balance patches will be free for everyone. This is like a GOTY disc. You won't have to oay anything extra if you own SFV right now. It's not that deep.

Yeah, they have SFV: Arcade Edition cabinets at Seattle Gameworks. I didnt try it out when I was there for PAX, I should have.
I absolutely would not be surprised if it was the original disc, just waiting for an upgrade patch and with DLC vouchers inside lol.
