How do you guys think a Free2Play fighting game should work?
The same way LoL works, which Xuan Dou Zhi Wang already does.

I get the feeling that the platform holders -- especially Microsoft -- are being overly protective of retail games (and retailers in general). They've talked about how they're going to allow for different models... but why not allow that now? (To be fair, Sony has made a number of policy changes over the last couple of years). If Microsoft is really that gung-ho about F2P games, why can't games like Tekken Revolution or DoA5U: Core Fighters be releases on XBL?Microsoft and Sony are fulling embracing F2P models, and both have titles in development that will allow microtransactions of the sort, to my knowledge MS already has F2P games out that are pretty generous with what they give you for free as well. This is the time when this is no longer an issue and the DotA 2 model is possible. You don't need a carbon copy of Steam to get the job done, as LoL got pretty far with the same sort of transactions, and kids are still flocking to buy RIOT spacebucks or whatever.
Capcom makes plenty of F2P games -- but name one that's actually worth playing? Every major publisher has been creating dopamine-fuled throwaway cashgrabs, but how many Japanese publishers have created a F2P game with real meat on it and a plan with long-term support? The only one that really comes to mind is Sega with PSO2 (and even then they can't get the game released outside of Japan because lol Sega).The cultural shift is already happening. Capcom already has F2P games on the market, as does every other big publisher. F2P isn't something new, it's been here for longer than we like to think. And with the way Capcom is moving now, they could use smaller projects during this console transition before they have an install base to justify RE7 which might not recoup the costs in time for their fiscal year end.
I made the BoF6 because while I don't think they would make an absolute stinker with the new SF, the fanbase for that game is much more passionate -- and bigger. I think a stripped down release of SF5 (8 characters and barebones SP/MP modes) as a F2P game with promises of more content down the road would cause the Internet to explode in fury.And I disagree that it would go over as well as BoF6. People are mad at BoF6 for the platforms first and foremost, and they wouldn't throw one of their top franchises to the wind like SF5 on some of that shit. Look at how they've even handled SFxTK and SFIV on iOS. TBQH, it's pretty respectable and they've provided a decent amount of content for the particular platform. So even if they take an approach where they bring something like SFV (or whatever their next SF move forward is) to multiple platforms including mobile ones, I don't think they'll skimp out and degrade the core console experience, or they wouldn't bother with one at all.

Of course there should. But I think it is kind of a weird thing to have it full in one region and the other can optionally be free but limited in addition to a retail release. It would be interesting to see how it can pan out financially for them.The more interesting question for me is, should SF5 be an arcade release?
More KOF13 from somebody who cares <3

*CapcomIt blows my mind that Capcom doesn't just release costumes on a monthly basis to generate additional revenue. Hell, just do what valve does. Let the community do the skins, let the community vote the best ones, sell it, and take a cut of the profits. You seriously don't have to lift a fucking finger to make money with that model.
I just don't see capcom succeeding with a f2p fighter on their first try. It's gotta be really good, and it's gotta have an amazing online experience with tons of features.

That doesn't matter because that 10% is enough to recoup costs of the game and then some. There are some players/fans/gamers who basically buy everything that is put out for a game ie. micro transactions. There is even a phrase for these type of people.90% of the people playing the game probably wouldn't buy costumes though.
It's funny to hear him talk about formats to use to minimize collusion and pointless matches like... double elimination! Is he not aware that pretty much every FG tournament in the US is double elimination?

yep he doesn't rofl.
So, ToatalBiscuit talked about the new collusion rule on his latest Content Patch episode.
Cliff notes version:
- Says he's all for it and glad to see it finally happen
- Praises the variety of games in the genre that manage to attract sizable scenes and viewers
- Talks about how tournament structure may inadverdently encourage players to be less competetive in certain situations
- "You should never know who you're going to end up facing in the next round if you have the option to dodge them"
- Gives some examples of alternative tournament structures
- Hopes the scene continues to grow because how fun it is to watch
