What I'm afraid of is that I'll jump in on Revelator on PC and then they turn around and announce a new Xrd game for console with folks like Baiken, Zappa, etc...
It's DOA, then. Fighting games on PC without cross-play don't last long.
It will be like Xrd Sign, KoF 13, Dead or Alive Last Round and others: the online is a wasteland.
Unless you're SF4
Hopefully Tekken 7 breaks the trend. This game definitely wont though.
This really sucks...
Perception problems are something for marketing to deal with.I think a lot of people (including myself) effectively see Xrd:R as being the same thing as Xrd:Sign Extend. It's a little bit better of a value proposition than BB's Extend releases are, but not by much.
LinkThis is interesting, does that mean they are adopting the SFV model or just that they won't release extend versions?
I do think the price is very steep for a game without cross-play that can easily be bought for 15 bucks for PS4 right now.
If they do though, I'm super inI think it's unlikely Arcsy will adopt a games as service model or whatever.
A bit pricey for a late release and no crossplay is a bit disappointing.
Maybe the next one will be better in both regards.

Other than that, good news about the port coming our way.

Definitely regret buying the console version that I still haven't had time to play, and missed the 'free' DLC for. Dunno if I'll have time for the PC version but it might be my only chance to play this game online without getting destroyed...we'll see.
After how bad SFV botched it I don't really think it's desirable tbh. Even as planned I'm not a fan of it.(I don't really like the idea of having new characters come out in month 6 of the game's life)
As someone who puts alot of hours into each version, I'm fine with the current model.
I understand where people are coming from who dislike it, but for me it's fine.
That's some terrible terrible pricing. People who have Xrd SIGN should have a way bigger discount.
Well yeah, it's obvious by now they're set on a yearly arcade->console->steam release cycle. Setting up such staggered release cycles is Arcsys' survival strategy.What I'm afraid of is that I'll jump in on Revelator on PC and then they turn around and announce a new Xrd game for console with folks like Baiken, Zappa, etc...
A business model that retains your player base can work. SFV is only one take on it.
Even SF4's Super->AE->Ultra $15 upgrade path was more customer-friendly than their existing full-price model.
I'm pretty sure I bought Xrd Sign for $15 on here when it was released and then couldn't play it for whatever reason.
Now this is $50? I REALLY want to support them (amazing style w/ UE) and FG on PC so this is a tough decision.

Yeah after sleeping on it I'll be skipping again. Lol at that price and good luck to them.
I'll consider buying their games when they don't have such large gaps in releases just to fuck PC players over by announcing the newest version shortly thereafter for console.
This really sucks...
That emulator never went public though iirc?PC players can play Persona 4 Ultimax 2 and Arcana Heart 3 Six Stars.
Feel the envy!
That emulator never went public though iirc?
It wasn't an emulator.
That... Is way too much for me. Especially with the first game not clicking with me, and no equivalent to the PS4s limited runs for free DLC leaving a bad taste in my mouth.If you have Sign I think the two discounts stack for a 20% one.
So it's 40 for the base game and 52 for the game + all DLC
I'm not sure 15 dollar upgrade path is sustainable for the amount of content these games add.
AE-> Ultra was a balance patch plus characters lifted from SFxT. lol
I know the perceived value maybe the same for a lot of people, but the actual content delivered is completely different, even if you're not interested in a lot of it like Story Mode.
