Support NeoGAF

[Slixshot]

Again, I'm not really feeling problems...

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

The Splatoon test from Saturday tells me otherwise.

Yeah, because the 3 other tests didn't go completely smooth or anything.

 

[nikos]

It doesn't look like organizers will have a choice. It's either the PS4 USF4 version and pro tour, or 360 version and no pro tour. You would hope that capcom/sony has the decency to let CEO/EVO play on the 360 if the PS4 version isn't adequate, but I have my doubts.

Absolute worst case scenario would probably be PS3, since that's what EVO used to run on, but it wouldn't look good for this version. They'd be better off cranking out a patch before then, even if it means taking some time away from SFV development.

Yeah, because the 3 other tests didn't go completely smooth or anything.

I hadn't tried them.

 

[Freshmaker]

You think Sony cares about EVO? The players are the ones that want the very best version of the game to play. Sony just wants the game to be played on a platform they own. The two goals aren't mutually exclusive, if they're related at all. USFIV is functional on PS4 and for Sony, the buck might just stop there, honestly.

Except they're explicitly trying to appeal to tournament players with this move. Busted ports don't accomplish this.

Like, this is before we even factor in the fact patches cost money (so they're going to assess whether the investment is worth it)

Sony's going to charge themselves for a patch?

 

[Projectjustice]

Why not hire the original team that did Ultra? Ughhhh

 

[giancarlo123x]

Nintendo fans brah.

That's all I got from the responses since Nintendo has nothing to do with this thread. But more power to them I guess.

 

[HarryKS]

Someone, somewhere, who worked on this game is reading about the reaction of people and feeling disheartened.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Its unfortunate that Sony are going to have to get their own devs on this to patch up the game before it hits the arcade scene, but i was not familiar with Other Ocean's other work and now i know why.

Its fully on Sony for giving the port to a studio that was unproven. Like Konami giving ZOE to High voltage, or Borderlands collection to the dev that messed it up.

Your just wasting money not inputting the right resources in the first place, commissioning a super cheap port is basically a receipe for disaster for all the good will built up, especially if your using that version for tournaments and such

 

[Takamura-San]

I would really love to MR Wizard and Jebailey to come upfront and say that if the game isn't fixed a week before their tournaments, 360 ver it is.

That should put some pressure on Sony/Capcom.

Doubt it will happen though.

 

[Squire]

Sony made this, so it's their mess to fix.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Why not hire the original team that did Ultra? Ughhhh

Ultra had issues at launch as well.

 

[Nocturno999]

Some off colors.
Slow crawling menus.
A lot of sound bugs. Red focus doesn't make a sound.
Links are working as usual with my Bipson.

Can't recommend it in its current state.

 

[abstract alien]

This game is literally worse than the 3ds version. Who did that one? Was it in-house at capcom?

 

[Projectjustice]

Ultra had issues at launch as well.

Not like this Though. It's night and day in comparison. This version is unplayable.

 

[AmyS]

is gonna have a field day with this mess.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

True.

 

[RM8]

This game is literally worse than the 3ds version. Who did that one? Was it in-house at capcom?

3DS had no input lag or slow menus, so this is accurate, lol.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Meanwhile at Nintendo Q/A:

What is this nonsense?

Anyway, I was going to get this, but will wait for patches. I'm not even a top level USF4 player, but it's the principle that counts.

 

[Squire]

Except they're explicitly trying to appeal to tournament players with this move. Busted ports don't accomplish this.

Sony's going to charge themselves for a patch?

Sony's going to not pay Other Ocean to do the work to make the patch? They're going to not pay their employees responsible for putting the patch up on PSN? They're not going to pay a QA team to test it before they do that? All these people are working for free?

I'll be damned. Maybe that's why this port is so bad!

 

[giancarlo123x]

I would really love to MR Wizard and Jebailey to come upfront and say that if the game isn't fixed a week before their tournaments, 360 ver it is.

Doubt it will happen though.

If there is already a deal involved then that won't happen, this isn't some sort of movie.

 

[I-hate-u]

How come no official word yet from Sony or Capcom?

 

[entremet]

This game is literally worse than the 3ds version. Who did that one? Was it in-house at capcom?

That was a great port. What are u talking about, Willis?!

It was never updated, tho.

Capcom did that one in house.

 

[giancarlo123x]

How come no official word yet from Sony or Capcom?

They know they dun goofed.

 

[nikos]

Sony made this, so it's their mess to fix.

Does Sony own Other Ocean? Regardless, I think Capcom and/or Sony need to step in to clean things up.

 

[Kai Dracon]

The Splatoon test from Saturday tells me otherwise.

A stress test is supposed to show if things aren't working well?

 

[RM8]

I'd severely injure for Ultra on 3DS, actually

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Why not hire the original team that did Ultra? Ughhhh

I'm guessing Other Ocean was the lowest bidder when it got shopped.

Just a guess though

 

[Cels]

what a joke.

sony/other ocean/capcom are all to blame.

"definitive" yeah okay.

 

[Freshmaker]

Sony's going to not pay Other Ocean to do the work to make the patch? They're going to not pay their employees responsible for putting the patch up on PSN? They're not going to pay a QA team to test it before they do that? All these people are working for free?

You are a true gaming businessman.

 

[Squire]

Does Sony own Other Ocean? Regardless, I think Capcom and/or Sony need to step in to clean things up.

Nah, it's contract work.

You are a true gaming businessman.

This is basic knowledge at this point dude. Patches = dev time and QA. They cost money. You pay people for their work.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I'd severely injure for Ultra on 3DS, actually

That's how I feel about a non remote play version of this for vita. Marvel and cross Tekken were fantastic ports.

 

[abstract alien]

3DS had no input lag or slow menus, so this is accurate, lol.

Yep. The only real issue with it was playing on the 3ds itself(if you found it uncomfortable). Other than that it was extremely well done.

That was a great port. What are u talking about, Willis?!

Haha, that's what I meant! It's a wonderful port and on vastly inferior hardware as far as horsepower.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Someone, somewhere, who worked on this game is reading about the reaction of people and feeling disheartened.

They'll live.

 

[Bass260]

Oh man how do you mess this up. Poor EVO.

Sony really needs to up their standards. Why they let Other Ocean tackle this is beyond me.

 

[AmyS]

 

[Leona Lewis]

It's never a good thing when first party does third party's job.

Call of Duty on Vita (if you know the behind-the-scenes mess) is one example.

This doesn't exactly fill me with confidence about the RE:R2 port on Vita, either.

 

[RM8]

That's how I feel about a non remote play version of this for vita. Marvel and cross Tekken were fantastic ports.

The handheld fighting dream is dead We'll get crappy mobile apps from now on at most.

 

[Raiku]

Wooooow good thing I held off then I guess. Fuck me.

 

[Dubz]

Menu navigation is choppy but other than that fine for me

 

[Seven Force]

Haha, that's what I meant! It's a wonderful port and on vastly inferior hardware as far as horsepower.

Kinda weird that we live in a world where there's a better performing version of (an iteration of) SFIV on 3DS than on PS4. But I guess that's the difference between an in-house port and a seemingly quick, on the cheap port job.

 

[Nocturno999]

This version is unplayable.

That's just silly.

 

[Cleve]

Meanwhile at Nintendo Q/A:

Those were the people that banned players for picking princess peach and pulling up items in competitive mode and also banned people for using the new dlc character before they fixed smash rank, right? This port is broken, but something about glass houses and throwing turnips.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Shhh Nintendo is perfect so I don't know what you're talking about!

 

[Slixshot]

The only shitty thing I actually see are the menus running like trash. Game seems to play fine -- but I'm no expert.

 

[Gunslinger]

Man I didn't know this port was handled by Mk trilogy devs. No wonder this port is utter trash like that company.

 

[Freshmaker]

This is basic knowledge at this point dude. Patches = dev time and QA. They cost money. You pay people for their work.

It's your reasoning behind these "hard truths" that doesn't pass the smell test.

Sony's paying to get tournament players on board. No patch fails to accomplish this since it will only piss off everyone who goes to Evo, CEO etc. Super good look.

So you go rambling on about cost benefit analysis and that there's no way they'll do it? Ok.

 

[RM8]

That's just silly.

Honestly it's not. Frame data is super important in this genre, you have to base your game around it. The Decapre vine is just ridiculous.

 

[Projectjustice]

That's just silly.

It's not If you knew any better.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I guess the person to ask about this mess is Gio Corsi.

[LeleSocho]

That's just silly.

No it's not if you live out of this stuff.
There will be a bloodbath if the game reaches this status at EVO (thing that probably will not happen).
