My understanding with Steam is that Valve still gets their cut with proprietary currencies. I would assume PSN etc. is identical, which is why I don't understand why they wanted to use Zenny in the first place. If it was a cross-platform currency it would maybe make sense, but costumes and other unlocks in SF5 aren't cross-platform so that can't be it.
Sean in the story mode.
Pfft, please tell me that's just his model as a background NPC, & not what he looks like in the cinematics. His basketball has better textures than he does, lol.
Story mode sounds cool, even more so that we get to try out 'Rog & Urien before release.
I'm surprised they canned the in-game currency (they would've been able to keep 100% of the revenue that way, no?). Must be an enormous setback for them.

oh yeah didn't think of that. Still will be nice if some of the matches are actually challenging. Just make the hard difficulty like the cheap AI I survival and give bosses extra health.

I would trade this story mode thing with a simple arcade mode with a few panels of dialogue.

this actually looks pretty good
that's kind of sort of in the game and people hate it heh
lmao....
Ultra disc had every costume from sfiv, super, AE unlocked except for the preorder ones for the new ultra characters.
So yeah, don't leave out vital details.
You would have to go through PSN to make a purchase for Zenny as well. There's no way for Capcom to sell things on PS4 without going through PSN first.

Ah, well then. Seems like they were just taking cues from free-to-play games, in that case.
I think this mode will live or die based on whether the difficulty settings are well-tuned. People don't count the existing character stories as "content" because they provide zero resistance to the player. It would be insane for Capcom to invest all this effort into the cinematic story and then make the same mistake.
It's already troubling that they only have 2 difficulty levels planned. I mean, they have AI levels 1 through 8 for every character. How hard could it possibly be to implement several difficulty levels for story mode? They have been doing that for 25 years of Street Fighter games.
System Direction needs to make a return. Loved unlocking the engine to it\s maximum potential in 3rd Strike and CvS2.
Kinda unfair to compare a 4th edition of a game that came out 6 years after the base version to this. Especially since none of those costumes were free when they came out.
4's was laughable. I'll take something with a little effort, I don't care how stupid it is.

Ultra disc came out SIX YEARS after initial release. The costumes available in that package were PAID DLC for SIX YEARS before Ultra came out.
Plus, those costumes were only free if you bought the disc version. If you upgraded to Ultra via DLC, you didn't get those costumes. They were still paid.
That's not 'free'.
Come on, now. You knew that before posting.
Yup.
Exactly. You need to compare SFIV vanilla to SFV Vanilla.
I mean even MK XL is going to end up having more content,costumes than the first revision of the next MK game.

Yeah it's weird, but maybe they figure easy hard is all you need. Either you just want to see the story, or you want a
Challenge.
Still single matches seem weird and I'm hoping that was just the demo version or an option. I think this would be a decent replacement for arcade mode to most people if the fights were challenging 2 round bouts.
I'm assuming vs. CPU is just another option added on to the versus screen. But what is extra battle?
And lol they really aren't gonna give us a continue in survival mode? Come on man...it's impossible without your main character I say!!!
Poor Sean, lol.
I wonder if these will be in real-time, or FMVs? I only say that because I saw the phsyics on both Necalli & Cammy's hair go wonky for a bit (Necalli's dread wrap around his neck, Cammy's braid around her arm). Figure that'd be something they clean up for a pre-render, but maybe they just didn't care.
The shill's the one who brought up Ultra, the SFV costume situation is just disgusting period considering SfXTK was selling indiv costumes for $1.
They seriously wanna charge $4 for that horrible Ken premium alt... smh...

I think it would be a big feature tbh...it's super fun for casual play to turn up the speed and it might even get a spot at tourney play if the speed is variable like turbo and super turbo.
Is speeding up the game really that difficult? Man...seems like Capcom is just missing out on so many cool ideas., but I'm not a Dev, making a good fighting engine I'm sure is tough work, just so much potentially with the game not yet being taken advantage of.
OK. They gave us 2 completely free costumes. Ryu and Chun's story outfits. (with 2 colors available).
The rest of the story costumes can be bought with in-game currency at 40,000FM per character, which is significant compared to the other content. However, if you do so, you deplete your FM total, which could otherwise be used for other characters, items, and stages with real world money equivalence. So, by purchasing these "free" outfits , if you want other content, you may have to end up playing real money as a result. You can earn FM, but the 50 FM from a match is negligible. No telling how much you'll get from the tasks.
So you can argue there are strings attached to them being "free". Even if they were completely free without having to burn your fight money, I still think that $4 a costume is ridiculous if they do not offer any bundle options. Especially ridiculous if they don't come with all the colors available.

I can really see it being a permanent V-Trigger like Necalli. *pops V-Trigger* "GET READY TO DIE". Then his suit bursts off and his skin changes color.
Mad Catz released drivers for that way back in March.
Well shit
Actually wait. All I see is for 2+ S and the Pro pad. You sure there's one for the regular 2?

I think the issue is that the bar rating is generated based on a short span of time and therefore doesn't always reliably reflect the consistency of the connection. Is there a way to fix that other than testing the ping for a longer time?
I will say that in last few sessions, 5 bar connections have almost always been perfect, at least on my end. I don't know if that reflects luck on my part or an overall improvement to the system.

I guess this is when I jump in!
It looks like it is running in real-time. Someone posted a different video in the other thread, and Necalli's hair isn't like-for-like.
That's pretty cool. I'm assuming this means that whatever costume/stage mods in use on PC will be reflected in the cutscenes then (or just possibly break them, lol)?
I only search for 5 ping opponents, and most of time they still lag like shit. It's clearly not on my end because all my other multiplayer games run smoothly, but in SFV most players teleport. It's very frustrating.

Make sure you always have "ask" on for confirmation. I set my search to 4-5 bars and sometimes I still get 1 or 2 bars. Probably due to the other person's connection being unstable or the matchmaking being shit.
Do you have fight confirmation turned on so you can see how many bars the opponent actually has? Even with filtering on 5 only you still get shitty connections.

I presume they wanted Zenny in the first place to avoid per-transaction fees from Microsoft/Sony, but as time went on the effort and time spent in putting in a Zenny system was outgrowing whatever money they were saving by not paying MS/Sony on a per-transaction basis.
Just one of the many, many ill-thought things about this game. Thankfully the content update seems very hefty for this month (Ibuki, preview of the remaining DLC characters, full-on story mode). Here's to hoping there's no more delays this time.

Do you accept fights manually or set it to automatic? You can still get 1 bars even with the 5 only filter on, not that it eliminates rollback, I've had perfectly functional 1 bar matchups lol.
Can anyone else confirm this is true for the regular TE2? Not able to find out myself rn.
Yep it's true. I have it on my PC

It is the first 10 mins....
As would I. One round fights that are over quickly don't really appeal, and I want to be able to play a succession of fights with the same character.
Sweet. Guess I gotta go hunt that down tonight.
