How were you fooled? Every SF game since 2 had updates.
Making a sequel to a game that never existed?
Sounds pretty ambitious. No wonder they need that Sony support.
I dont get the concern. The SF-series (or Tekken for that matter) never had 'top notch graphics' as a priority. The gameplay (translated as in rock solid 60fps; proper hitdetection/hitboxes, correct animation frames, etc) is much more important. Wouldnt surprise me if they use the last few percent of the development cycle to brush up the graphics; if the time, financial and rendering budget allows it.
My personal opinion is that it already looks pretty good, and it will most likely end up looking even better.

So that's the DLC finished.
This. I think the game already looks great (and will only get better) and looks nothing like SFIV.
I don't see where all the hostility is coming from, honestly.

Good stuff! Better comparison. Looks much better and it's only 20% done. Screw the haters.

Have to say I agree I also think SFV looks a lot better than Xrd.
People are blind or just trolls. I mean, how can you shit on this?
Probably because its not coming to their choice of console. Everything about the game looks amazing and I hope that trailer song actually makes it into the game.

Look gorgeous, love how characters react to hits, really seems fierce attacks.

Is this a tale from your bum?
I think people need to expand their understanding on these sort of things. The game isn't just the roster; that 20% could be a mix of character models, lighting systems, particle systems, AI, stages, music, game engines, online netcode etc. Seeing as how they had something playable already, it's damn easy to believe it's about 20% complete, it's not as if they're working on one of those things at a time.
Fully expecting it to drop early 2016.
I used to be in the camp that didn't think too much of XRD visually but seeing what they were going for, it looks damn good. There's a big future in 3D games that 1:1 replicate 2D art styles.
Would even say it's somewhat unfair to compare the two visually, since their art styles are so vastly different. But on a purely objective, technical note, SFV is a few leagues beyond Xrd (and any other 2D-style fighter I've seen so far this gen), that's without question.
The "graphics whores" mentality has returned to clustered marshy pockets of the FGC, and mated with Console Fanboy Syndrome to create a new unholy beast.
Game development isn't linear; it's not exactly exponential either but it's definitely not linear. We can assume they've spent a large bulk of that 20% getting the fundamentals in place; game engine, character model pipelines, testing environment, netcode infrastructure, lighting engine, art direction, conceptual designs (as you said), etc.
Almost all of those things, getting done (or some massive parts of done) now will expedite the process going forward. This isn't the first time we've heard of a game being 20% complete and then somehow managing to release fully only a year or so later. You also have to take into account the crunch time that pops up near the end of most development cycles.

Its not only does it show how fierce the attacks are but its showing how a blocked attack creates a new recovery animations. In previous SF games the attack would just clip the character and finish its normal animation creating blockstun. In this gif it shows the attack is stopped half way without clipping the blocking opponent and then retracting in a new recovery animation.
Holy shit! The difference is astounding!

Ummm....figthng games are best played on 60 fps due to strict timing on combos. You cannot achieve 60 fps in graphics like ac unity with the inferior hardware of the consoles. Maybe on ps6.With the exception of Guilty Gear Xrd, I'm surprised how unambitious fighting games look. Since they're rendering only 2 characters on screen and in a tiny environment, you'd think everything would at least be on The Order or Ass Creed Unity's level.
Of course, they're all in development but I hope they at least look mind blowing at release.

CC 2015 Prize pool reduced to half a million yen
Wait what? Is that real? Haha
That's be just fine with me. We all know that they're going to make updates to the game on a yearly basis.

Going to be very cautious with SFV PC, Capcom fucked up the steam version of Ultra, wait for one my friends to buy it give a test run before i give Capcom a penny.. Very excited about the game but at the same time it fucking CRAPCOM..

I would never want my fighting game to 30fps letterboxed laden with QTEs.

lol, u r funny
Based on what? If you have something against the large proportions they chose to stick with that's a different story. You're already wrong about everything else, considering they've changed quite a bit, including the art style. Terrible post, Vire.
Here's the 60fps gameplay video for those who missed it. http://www.gamersyde.com/hqstream_street_fighter_v_extended_gameplay-33785_en.html

They look older in S5... or is it just me?
It's after sf4, and potentially after sf3. They are older.

I definitely prefer the new SFV versions by a huge margin.
I don't think it looks bad at all for being 20% done. I mean go look at the video captured for SF4 when it was in alpha and compare that to launch. I think people are jumping a little ahead of themselves saying it looks terrible now. Of course it does, it's quite literally a unfinished game. Only difference is they are sti working on it unlike Ubi who would say "ship it and we will patch in new characters!"
Xrd needs to be seen in motion to be truly appreciated, and I wish SFV was closer to its style.
Games in both Native 1080p & 60 FPS isn't exactly as simple as you may think. It requires beefier hardware, & a beefier CPU.

Joke? I'm being serious.
I skipped SF3 on consoles, so had I forgotten about Capcom's propensity to do their thing. I bought SF4 day one, then Super, then Arcade, now Ultra. Ia lso bought Marvel day one. Then ended up getting Ultimate digitally on sale.
I even bought DR3 Day One. Now there's an apocalypse edition with all the DLC (bar the Street Fighter DLC).
I"m just saying, I was very stupid in the last few years with buying Capcom games day one. They've always been a weakness of mine each generation. Everyone one of the many many consoles I own has a selection of Capcom games in it. They're a publisher that holds a special place for me.
But I'm just saying that I'm learning my lesson. DR3 is the last Capcom game I buy day one. I will most definitely buy Street Fighter 5. It just won't be vanilla. You just now that about 2 to 3 years later, you'll be able to pick up Super Ultra whatever version is the final one for a fraction of the proce digitally on PSN. Hell, it may even end up a Plus title given it's exclusivity.
I'm not buying figters on disc anymore. Fighters have endless replayability so I'll only buy them digitally now, which effectively means never day oneing them again.
