Considering this is Capcom we're talking about...........you guys have a lot of faith.

This version will be continuously upgraded and allow you to purchase additional characters and content for years to come. It's the most cost effective model.

Your 2nd point misses my first point by quite a lot. Basically Capcom is telling PC players, which they're heavily courting as this magical cross-play thing this time around despite being "exclusive" that they have no choice in terms of how to buy the game if they want any extras.

I say wait. They are promoting the PS4 version heavily now, wait till the game get's closer to release.

And to my knowledge there's nothing confirming that PC releases same day as PS4.

There isn't even a preorder option on steam or Amazon yet. SO chill.

There will absolutely be another version of the game, this is Capcom after all. However it'll be available digitally, you'll only ever need one disc. I wouldn't be surprised at a Super SFV disc in a year or so after release with all the DLC on it

There isn't even a preorder option on steam or Amazon yet. SO chill.

Uh, yes, there IS a pre-order option up on Steam right now.

As it also said in Capcom's post, PC digital pre-orders gets the Chun alternate costume, just like PSN pre-orders.

Ryu confirmed not asian. I like the alts, really hope they are all available eventually (besides Bison) for people who don't purchase from these specific establishments. Also, I would buy the CE but I pre-ordered on PSN. Not sure if I wanna spend $160.
 
All this complaining about how veterans like Ryu should always look like his classic self are just empty farts to the wind. Nobody outside of a few internet guys are that attached to Ryu's classic design that they would cry betrayal if Ryu and other veterans got badass designs like this as their default look.

Yeah Capcom clearly made the wrong decision


lol

This is why they should just go redesign crazy with all of the characters for future iterations. All this complaining about how veterans like Ryu should always look like his classic self are just empty farts to the wind.

I think the opposite actually. People who have been playing SFIV for years don't mind a new look. But the casual player will look at Ryu and be like "huh? Who's that?" Not to the extent where they wouldn't by it, but brand/mascot recognition is important.
 
PC isn't being focused on right now because Sony wants the focus on them.

PC version is for the long tail. I also expect discounts on the PC pre-order versions from the usual suspects

Find me one on Gamestop and amazon? That's where I looked. That's where you'll fined your different versions first before steam usually.

And also Like I said, they are promoting PS4 version becasue of the deal they have with them. Your not going to see a huge PC push until closer to release. Reason why, how many do you think will buy it on PC apposed to PS4?

You don't think they'd lose money by doing that? I assumed they expect the DLC sales to carry this game for years to come, do they gain much by putting out a "super" version 1 year later with all the released DLC. Wouldn't that make new players really cautious of buying any DLC they release after that?
 
The character models in this game are so insane.

He is obviously a small time business owner. Probably owns Bisons Hat's or something

Sesha is doing to best to convince himself that he isn't one of the "few internet guys"

Awful collector's edition with nothing of value as per usual within the gaming industry.

What the hell is up with that crappy Ryu statue? Are we supposed to colour it in with crayons or something?

Most retailer exclusive stuff is only timed. UMVC3 had retail only packs that were sold to everyone at a later date.

But how late is that ? Meh i want to play that ryu at launch. Probably there would be better ways to get them. Considering no way to get those costumes from Europe or Japan
