Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
SFV: Ibuki is not releasing in May
- Thread starter Ryce
- Start date
What time will they be on?
EDIT: Just saw the tweet. So Ibuki WILL be shown off.
He's a Capcom UK employee...
who conveniently forgot to tell everyone that Ibuki is coming in June, not May, and didn't put a release date on her, despite conveniently 'knowing' what that release date is. SMH.
Logansama isn't a Capcom UK employee, he does help run one of the largest weeklies in the U.K. and so they hold it in the Capcom U.K. offices.
Check out his work in the grime scene for what he actually does.

He's not a Capcom employee -_-
It's possible they found a game breaking bug last minute.
Granted that's about the only scenario I can think of that would make this acceptable.
Well maybe if it comes out in the first week of June and they didn't want to take the servers down twice fir it.
My mistake then.

The Capcom UK community manager is usually there at WSO though, i think.
Don't really care about Ibuki delay if it's only a few days. That's a big if though. The lack of communication is a problem.
Also, the matchmaking in the game still super sucks. And there's still no dailies. Fix it, Capcom.

Man, investing this much into hating something as trivial as a videogame doesn't look very healthy.
Even assuming he is a Capcom employee, you'd think he'd be allowed to mention it... Oh, you probably already know this.
You're talking about this tweet, right? https://twitter.com/WinnerStaysOn/status/737600347112247296
Not sure what to make of it. He definitely knows a lot through working for Capcom.
I think VesperArcade described it best. It's fine that they need more time to finish Ibuki, especially with the whole thing about Capcom rushing the base game out for the CPT. None of us want Capcom to release an unfinished character. The problem is that they waited until the last minute to let us know. It'd be better if they just ripped the bandage off quickly earlier to get it over with rather than slowly peel it away. It'll hurt early on, but it'll be gone quickly rather than having to deal with the pain (or anger in this case) for longer.
Yes, I am. Regardless, if he's telling the truth (or Capcom just hasn't clued him in) then Ibuki is coming this week. Does that mean that the big update is this week or will there be multiple June updates?
It's so bizarre seeing one of the earliest game developers to embrace communicating with their fanbase has become so tight-lipped.
The Cinematic Story Mode is already on Steam's servers, so it's entirely possible.
I mean, if you're not going to read my follow-up post in regards to the statement, at least say you didn't.
And assuming Ibuki is coming this week (which again I don't understand why they wouldn't just say 'hey guys, Ibuki this week') I'd assume at least two updates.
Wait, the Story is already on Steam's servers?

It's on SteamDB, means they've added support for it. Doesn't mean it's ready though.
But it means that it's close to done or is basically done if they're at a point where they can add support for it, right?
So...it's like Alex and Guile? Are the Trials classified the same way?

The silence has to be an order from the top. When Capcom hired the likes of Haunts, Harrison or Combofiend, people expected them to bridge the company and the community. But all of them are completely silent, it's frustrating. Even Ono held back recently except for the occasional Cosplay retweet.
Another thing, I read the German Ibuki blogpost and it says
"Ibuki will be available soon. But that's not all, because shortly thereafter there's the big june update", implying they are two different things.http://www.capcom-germany.de/ said:
This reminds me, when did we get listings for Alex & Guile on SteamDB?

Well definitely. It'd have to be near completion or at least at a point where it is mostly playable for them to add it to the steam database so that they can implement and test it.
Anything that's a separate DLC package is organized this way. I don't think Alex and Guile were classified this way, but at least the season pass and Soundtrack(s) were.
We didn't All DLC characters are now going to be handled through the in-game CFN system if Guile and Alex are anything to go by.
Btw, on Steam DB, the game has 6 DLC entries that are currently unaccounted for. 4 of them were added 8 days ago, one of them added 15 days ago and the last one added 2 months ago.
EDIT: At least one is Story mode and it would make sense that the remaining would be Zenny purchases as they would definitely be selling them through the steam/PSN storefront and they would definitely have different increments in which people can buy.
EDIT2: Still might be something different that we don't know, however.
Except it's not "A for effort". Capcom's remasters are far and beyond everyone else, besides in the graphics department where they are definitely outdone. Heck DMC4SE isn't really a "remaster" considering how much new content it added. It's more akin to a content remaster
Huge amounts of praise has been heaped on Sony and other companies have gotten for the remakes and sequels and revivals they announced last year, and Capcom has already received a ton of praise for this. RE2make was more heavily requested than most titles out there. I don't think it's fair to claim that it doesn't matter because the announcement clearly mattered to thousands of people.
Besides that, this is from a company that two years ago couldn't afford taking the risk of making even this game. Having high standards is all fine and dandy, but Capcom is in a situation where even the smallest thing is praiseworthy because they are shrinking and shrinking. Maybe if they were Square Enix-sized it would have been fairer to poo-poo certain things for not being significant enough. But at this point you should take what you can get.
Ace Attorney 6 is significant because it's never happened before. It shows they are listening. Listing other games that didn't come out in the West is moot. Add DGS and Investigations 2 to a list of fuck-ups, but they don't take anything away from AA6.
No Revelations 2 for 3DS sucks, add that to the list of fuck-ups, then. On the other hand, they did add a Vita port.
Ultimately, none of what you're saying takes away from any of it. You asked what good things they've done. You're basically nitpicking my points.
Take note of what topic you're posting in. A topic about Ibuki coming out two weeks later than she otherwise would have, where the problem is Capcom's communication has been shitty and they have underdelivered on people's expectations. They also have plenty of areas where they do communicate and don't underdeliver, which is what I tried to communicate. Take the good with the bad and don't poo-poo everything because some things are worse than others. Instead of poo-pooing the actual good they're doing, we should make a list of negatives. We can have both.
I'll start:
- The SFV category of tons of fuck-ups.
- No PC patch for DMC4SE.
- No PC version for DmC DE.

What time?
8.30PM GMT, about 5 1/2 hours from now.
No PC patch for DMC4SE? What's missing/needs patches?
- Vita port of Revelations 2 was terrible and lttp. Capcom said Rev 2 didn't come to Wii U because Rev 2 was next gen DESPITE Rev 2 being on PS3 and 360 as well. They could've said anything else and it would've worked but decided to go with the card that was factually and simply incorrect.
- AA5 was digital and it got DLC. AA6 is digital, not retail. People still want retail for both. People still want GAA as well. AA is a popular series in the west, but they are simply losing sales by not providing retail as an option, even as a short run.
I will not praise Capcom for simply doing what is asked of them, which is not to screw it up. People before SF5 launched and during its' first month said how Splatoon-like the game was. Well, it isn't. Splatoon was a success because it knew what it was trying to be, and knew where it was going, and communicated it consistently. With SF5, Capcom feels they cannot be asked to do the simplest things to appease their fans, let alone win new ones over.

Thank you. I may be the able to catch it this time.
I thought this was obvious when Capcom didn't give any release date info yesterday or Sunday.
I can't believe how bad Capcom's been with their communication for SFV. This delay should've been announced weeks ago. I thought we were finally getting somewhere when Guile was announced and released in a timely fashion, but I guess not.

I've been waiting to get into SFV, but as it stands, I might just be staying with USFIV which was amazing.
The whole thing has just been kind of a mess.

Still glad I'm waiting for the game of the year edition when all the content has been released and packed in
Hoo boy you'll have a rough go of it online by then.
4 days is not a big deal, just amplified by bad communication. Seems they have some issues with that internally, presumably between the US and Japan offices.
EVO does have other games.

This is all no big deal in my opinion. What the big problem is that there is no communication.
Its so bad that sometimes i ask myself if Capcom even reads the internet or they are just trollin at this point.

My guess is at any given moment they have no idea if they'll meet their internal deadline so they're hesitant to let the public know a date in case they don't make it.
Of course, they couldn't make the broad release range of "May" so there's no reason not to be upfront now.
There's the Capcom UK stream and probably Capcom Pro Talk, maybe that's where they wanted to say more.

Whats this about it only being a 4 day delay?
Wait for a tweet from Mike Ross to say exactly that and a retweet from Combofiend.
But actually the answer is: They suck at PR.
Which makes the, "you guys can't be mad at a rushed game then also get mad at a not finished character" argument some people in this thread are saying no merit.
They are delaying Ibuki because they can't get their act together on their zenny store. I fucking swear capcom, your zenny store better be lock solid in terms of security info. Because that is an L you can't ignore. That shit makes actual gaming news cycles instead of being just talked about by the fgc.

Why don't they play SFV instead.
