Reports of Street Fighter V users unable to purchase the new Temple Hideout stage–part of the large update SFV received yesterday–started circulating last night, shortly after the content launched. It seems now that the stage has been outright removed from Steam and the in-game Shop; players that have already purchased the stage are offering mixed reports of it being still selectable in-game, or not. [I have personally verified on PlayStation 4 that the stage is playable, but no longer appears in the Shop listings. – Editor]

You can hear the original BGM here.

Arrgh this always happens

"This sample sounds cool I will use this"

 

[Wallach]

Bummer, I was using it yesterday. Other than the chants its one of the best tracks in SFV so I kinda hope that is the reason.

"This sample sounds cool I will use this"

agreed this game just taking hits, capcom can never release something with out something happening.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Should be easy enough to rectify.

 

[Neoxon]

Hopefully they put the stage back up ASAP. I can't imagine that removing the Islamic prayer would take that long.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

I just don't get how that's an issue.

 

[Darrenf]

I just went on the game to buy it I was confused when it wasn't there.

 

[entremet]

Ocarina of Time redux lol

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I just don't get how that's an issue.

I guess it's not culturally appropriate?

 

[Neoxon]

Ocarina of Time redux lol

Oh shit, I almost forgot that OoT had something similar.

 

[DrFunk]

Little Big Planet, Vol. 2

 

[pizzacat]

this came out? what else did

 

[Anth0ny]

dude how long are people going to use that oot fire temple stock sound

 

[Space Runaway]

Ocarina of Time redux lol

The old xbox fighter Kakuto Chojin got pulled from stores over this type of thing too.

 

[joe2187]

this came out? what else did

The "Work" and "SF Academy" Costumes.

 

[HylianScribe]

Now where have I heard this before...

Amazed this got through to retail considering this audio sample's history.

Edit: This is the same audio sample used in Ocarina of Time 1.0 Fire Temple, Cruis'n World, Kakuto Chojin...

 

[PSqueak]

im getting ocarina of time flashbacks.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

I just don't get how that's an issue.

The usage of Islamic prayer for anything but prayer is something of a touchy subject, especially if such prayer quotes the Quran, of which it is a sin (or otherwise heavily frowned upon) to quote it incorrectly; some prayers also have contextual connotations that are immediately invalidated if used in music. Ocarina of Time wound up with a similar situation back when it came out: Summary here.

 

[Kart94]

You serious? that is a stupid reason to pull out the stage.

Just patch that shit up if you are so worried.

 

[NastyBook]

The redeux theme was pretty bad anyway. This gives them a chance to take the prayer out and make an entirely better version as well. Win, win!

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Wew.

Probably not a good idea for that sample to be in the BGM for the Thailand stage too.

Even if it wasnt islamic prayer (which sounds like it is, the last verse of it from what Ive heard) fail to see how arabic relates to Thailand as a whole.

 

[Tain]

kinda hilarious how much trouble this sample has caused over decades

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Islamic prayer in a Buddhist temple? Only Capcom.

 

[Marcel]

So where does this infamous Islamic prayer sample even come from? Is it part of some audio suite or sample package? I feel like I've heard about this happening numerous times.

 

[Anth0ny]

sounds so creepy

 

[Übermatik]

Oh shit, I almost forgot that OoT had something similar.

Shame 'cos the chant in the original Fire Temple theme is beautiful and suits the ambient sounds really well.

*EDIT* Holy shit the SFV theme actually uses the same chant! Someone needs to bin those sample packs from the 90s.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

I guess it's not culturally appropriate?

It totally doesn't fit the stage logically, but as part of the theme it generally works.

I imagine buddistchant.mp3 is being sampled as we speak.

I still don't see how that's an issue. It's okay to make sacreligeous things.

 

[LakeEarth]

What I was going to point out. Why the hell was it even used for a "Buddhist Temple" stage in the first place?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Everyone should just destroy their sample/sound library CDs from before the year 2000.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Q8D3vil]

Dunno what i find more offending this shit or the fact that they still didnt release the balance patch.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I just don't get how that's an issue.

Thailand is overwhelmingly Buddhist, for one thing. So it doesn't even fit

 

[Brian_FETO]

I still don't see how that's an issue. It's okay to make sacreligeous things.

It's not when you're trying to make a product that doesn't have any particular political/spiritual leanings

 

[Spaced Harrier]

What I was going to point out. Why the hell was it even used for a "Buddhist Temple" stage in the first place?

General Asian-ness/ General Religious ness.


Also lol at fighting in a Buddist temple is totally fine.

 

[MUnited83]

I just don't get how that's an issue.

Isn't Thailand like 93% Buddhist or something like that?

 

[Kart94]

Could they have just made a patch removing whatever questionable thing instead of just throwing the baby along the water by removing stuff from stores?

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

This happened with the first LittleBigPlanet, too.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

LMAO royaltyfreebuddhistchants.com bout to light up

No, it's a sensible reason because it's inconsistent, it's a Buddhist temple

 

[Neoxon]

The balance patch got pushed back because it was made under the CFN update, which wasn't ready. Same for Ed.

 

[Zombegoast]

The same composer who did Juri's? I really don't understand how Capcom works, releasing a stage and be removed soon after when its not appropriate.

 

[Kart94]

That is what patches are for. make a quick patch removing it and replacing the sound. That sounds simpler to me.

Who will accidentally be released as Eid.

Yeah, they'll patch it and put it back up for sale

I suppose that's a good enough explanation. Islam really needs to get on with the times.

Isn't Thailand like 93% Buddhist or something like that?

Wiki says 5% Islam but yeah, your point still stands.

 

[Madao]

it's always the islamic sound samples.

when will devs learn to not put those in games? it always causes problems.

How about leaving the stage for sale and then patching it up if someone complains hard enough? sounds simple right? That is what they should have done.

very disappointed this isn't a real site

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Same end result? Maybe they didn't properly get royalties for the chant? Who knows, it's not a big deal. It'll get fixed, it'll go on sale again
