I'd be willing to bet actual money that they aren't even aware a PC version exists for them to port and they ported the PS3 version like morons.

Oh my, what an absolute mess of a port.

Other Ocean made it.
In dire need of patches. The great thing is on PC when the port is deemed "subpar" it at least outclasses console versions on the right specs.
don't have to pay a subscription to play online either.
i remember when that was a regular argument made round here. felt nostalgic writing it down.
Strangely free online no longer seems to matter.

It only didn't matter to Xbox fans some years ago, now only PC people seem to remember it. But I do think that we should have a new thread about that.

I just hope SFV is being treated with care.
(And that they patch this, since I caved in and bought it last night)

In my opinion this is 100% on Sony. Yeah Other Ocean should have done a better job and Capcom should have overlooked it, but Sony were the ones who decided to release it in this state AND have the gall to promote it as the tournament standard with PR that isn't even true. I don't understand how anyone could let that happen. There are people who have played the game for thousands of hours, why not invite some of them into a closed beta to make sure it's solid? How do you not notice the missing AA, AF and the menu framerate?
This could have been a homerun and pretty successful, but the fucked it up completely. They need to fix it somehow.

Sony should be treating the Street Fighter brand as 1st party now. This is a big appetizer for SF5, it should be an excellent port.

I really hope a similar fate doesn't reach Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Vita, which like this is also being managed and handled by Sony's Third Party Production unit. Hope they've chosen the right team to take it on, and are making sure it gets out the door without any noticeable issues. Would like a good handheld port of that game.

Depends. In the US is most likely healthy, but Capcom needs to broaden regions instead of reducing them to a single country in matchmaking.
Still comparing the netcode to the 360 version is night and day in favor of PC (now fixed) and is possible to find decent games against people from Germany, Argentina, France, etc.
Another problem is half the FGC still being allergic to PC gaming.
For fighting game it is more complicated.
Ever since GFWL got discontinued, online for Steam has been a crapshoot and a usually poor experience.
In my area console gaming was dominated by PS3 in last gen.
But people who were more serious about SF4 plunked down for Xbox Live just to get better online matches.

PC version's online is completely fine now.
Is that ever not the case? Rarely I imagine.
Isn't this more like Sony went cheap and hired a group that makes High Voltage look good?

This is what's forced on the tournaments now? When there are clearly superior releases? Gotta love those marketing dollars.

Is there a PS3 VS PS4 face off I'm interested in seeing them side by side

Looks to be the case. I wonder how the input lag compares between the two.
I don't think DF concluded that, it's just something I've seen here on NeoGAF. I very much doubt that they ported anything but the PC/Arcade version.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. That's why I said presumably. Either way, I just want them to fix this mess in a timely manner. I really want to play USF4 on my PS4 without having to worry about input lag issues, glitches or weird "balance changes".

they didn't understand what they were getting into with the competitive scene, apparently. also read that Gio Corsi is a former Capcom guy and used Backbone when he was there and the dev on this game is basically Backbone under a different name.
As bad as the PS4 port is, I'm pretty confident in saying it would still have less input delay than the PSNow version.

Both Sony and Capcom have to make sure this mess gets fixed. This is inexcusable.

Came for an analysis of the port. Got a bunch of tired old passive aggressive PC comments out of the same people. Warriors come out and play.
If the port was actually good I would have bought this. Now it is a never purchase unless it is fixed.

It's a 7 year old game. The original came out during the Bush administration. On hardware a whole generation and nearly a decade behind today's current gen systems.
This should've been the definitive edition. It's the worst version. Even the 3ds is more solid than this.
Patches for a 7 year old ps4 port... Inexcusable. Simply inexcusable.
And to think, before it came out, my biggest gripe was it being digital only and thinking Capcom was being cheap. I didn't know everyone was THAT cheap...
Shame on Other Ocean. Shame on Capcom. Shame on Sony.

The article says the ps4 is 6 frames of lag which is the same as ps3. I don't get these psnow vs ps4 input lag talk.
But generally though. During last gen you could count on anything Sony put out to be finely crafted and immaculate, from first-party games to HD ports. Now they're putting out crap like they don't even give a damn.

You really have to wonder why anyone would hire the dev team that had issues porting old Mortal Kombat games to make the definitive tournament focused version of the biggest fighting game out there.
Yeah I'm sure they are cheap but, again, you want to make the definitive tournament focused version of the biggest fighting game out there, it's not the time to cheap out

The graphics comparison video was very helpful to me. The differences in AA and anisotropic filtering are negligible to me. All I care about is them fixing the game feel and the menus. And online performance, obviously.

This is kind of backwards. Especially since the USF4's Arcade Hardware is effectively PC based hardware, USF4 runs on the Taito Type X revision 3.
This what is basically under the hood - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Type_X#Taito_Type_X.C2.B3
Wouldn't it made more sense to work with the Arcade version or PC version of USF4 and do a straight port to PS4 since both the Arcade & PC versions are effectively all using the same architecture, rather then deal with the PowerPC Cell based PS3 and whatever issues that come along with it?
Maybe they'll re-cock and start all over with the PC version? Has there ever been a time when a game released, then completely redone and re-released in a better state? Is that what happened with the ZoE2 remastered thingy?
I find that just, so bizarre.
Like, if your controller's batteries die, your stick stops working? How in any way is this dualshock tethering system good for tourneys? Which I thought was the focus of this release. I'm guessing it's for the PS3/PS4 stick compatibility, but there has to be a better way.
