Ouch.
PC Players gotta hold dat L.

 

[Not-So-Solid Snake]

A few days of Mario kart then ultra, can't wait!

 

[captmcblack]

Damn, I want this but I have to wait a whole 2 months for the disc?

That's two months other players will be getting better...fucking wack.

 

[Zechs]

Does anyone think this will come to PS4 and Xbox One? I for one hope so

 

[Trickster]

So what's the point of releasing it a month later on PC? Is it just to force to hardcore fans to double dip?

Have to wait till E3. We will get our answers then

They keep being cute and farting around with stupid teases like it might happen, but they won't commit to it either way. Its safe to assume "something" Street Fighter related is on the way for PS4, but who knows what. I wish they'd quit fucking around and just be straight with it already. I'm really annoyed with Ono's nonsense.

Probably.

AE is free with GWG next month too

 

[Jaded Alyx]

How can there NOT be an upgrade option for PC players?

there is, it's just coming late. it's probably gonna be like the hr dx discount.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

there is, it's just coming late.

Later than the already late standalone PC version?

 

[mnz]

there is, it's just coming late.

So far, they have not mentioned an upgrade for the PC version. Just the whole thing for $39.99.

edit: I'm wrong.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Funny how Capcom used the "Fight With Style" phrase from All Star Battle.

 

[Tesseract]

So far, they have not mentioned an upgrade for the PC version.

Oh, I apologize, I have not heard that so far, it's also not in the new blog post.

edit: Why the hell is this comming even later? What's wrong with Capcom?

 

[Ken Masters]

Shifty of them to hold back the disc release.

did you expect anything less from Capcom?


seriously now

 

[Omega]

Well I'm an idiot. I bought Arcade Edition last steam sale thinking "It's cheaper if I just buy this now with the costumes and do the upgrade later"

Should have known us PC peasants would be shit on. I don't know why I expect differently

 

[Not-So-Solid Snake]

Some videos of the changes for characters just went up recently, didn't see it in the OP, only 6 characters up atm.

[Yudoken]

I wonder if I can upgrade my SFIV AE to Ultra (it's not from Steam so no Steam works).
They still didn't said anything that, didn't they?
It would be a shame if only the Steam versions get the option to upgrade.

 

[stn]

This is sooooooo stupid. So I can't get those DLC costumes now since I already have AE and have zero reason to buy the retail version of USF4? The amount of milking they do is disgusting, I'm going to buy the digital upgrade when it goes on sale.

 

[Jamie OD]

Is there a reason for such a big gap between digital release and retail?

Wild speculation on my part but maybe it means they won't have to worry about the second hand market eating into their sales if the majority of their target audience get the digital version.

it's still cheaper by a few dollars by my last count. how much did you pay?

 

[Zia]

The pointlessly staggered release is so Capcom.

Technically the full version is $44.98, if you factor in the day 1 experience... which most fans would. This time it is "Want the DLC costumes at a better rate than DLC? Then double dip and buy the Console version, instead! (This ought to teach all of those would have been consumers not to complain about on disc DLC)". Scummy sales tactic is scummy.

 

[HardRojo]

Maybe it has been answered countless times already but I just want to be sure.
The alternate costumes (besides preorder ones) will all be available on disc without the use of codes right?

 

[Kintaro]

This really killed my hype for playing this game. Capcom will Capcom though.

correct.

 

[dcx4610]

Wish we could get a Ultra Street Fighter 3 in high resolution instead.

Even the "I Am Street Fighter" documentary went out of their way to basically say SF4 just wasn't that good and didn't feel like a Street Fighter game. I agree.

 

[UrbanDandy]

seriously now

Yeah, I'm scratching my head at this too. July is more fitting. Glad I held off from buying the AE.

 

[Isaccard]

Idk why I'm surprised at the amount of salty tears in this thread because if a belated PC release.

I'm not sure I agree there. If anything, SF3 feels less like "a Street Fighter game" due to parries.

It feels more SF2 than SF3, for sure. But looking back, you could also call SF3 the outlier of the franchise, really.

 

[JBourne]

All the currently released alternates, yes.

The pre-order 5 in the trailer, no.

The 5 "SFxT" alternates for Decapre, Elena, Hugo, Poison, Rolento? Requires a save file from SFxT.

There has been no mention if the save file requirement is only for the DL version, or if the disc version has the same save file requirement.

There should be a Watch_Dogs-styled spreadsheet for this game.

 

[TheOGB]

Medieval, Pirate, Wizard, Gladiator, and... Jungle. Alright then.

Looks like I got more time than I expected for the full version. That's fine with me.

 

[AdmiralMikey]

I'd say probably. And we'll get the announcement for it a few weeks after the retail release of it for PS3 and 360, with Capcom hoping for that double dip.

Triple.

Triple dip.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Will pick up the dlc for ps3. If a ps4 version is announced at E3 I'll double dip.

 

[bigkrev]

Will the download upgrade work with the PS+ version of SF4 AE we got about a year ago? I want it on PC, but would probably pay 15 dollars to play it 3 months early

 

[galvatron]

Pretty sure that they said you can upgrade from Super SF4 to this one, without going to AE first.

[Colonel Nasty]

Even the stages are recycled from street fighter x tekken? Ugh.

 

[Persona RS]

Yes, you can upgrade from Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Basically gets the game into tournament players hands as fast as possible to prepare for EVO. Retail is for everyone else who isn't serious about the game.

 

[leakey]

Damn I wanna check it out asap, but I may hold out for the retail and PC release.That does seem like an awfully long time, though. Maybe I'll practice more Marvel/KOF until then

 

[Space Runaway]

Alright. Nice to have a hard date for the digital release. Looking forward to this.

 

[Laconic]

That's nonsense. If that were the case, then the digital version would come with everything that the disc version will. It does not - it is a double-dip scheme, pure and simple.

 

[PirateKing]

Has there ever been any mention of Vita version in interviews or that's not happening? Especially how MvC and SxT came out on it, I thought they were more supportive.

 

[nded]

What's missing from the digital version apart from costumes?

They had to release a copy of the game for Evolution this year because it's slated to be featured as a main game for the tournament, the largest for SF in the world. The retail release was their original date and the special upgrade version for the US is earlier so players have time to acclimate to the game before it happens.

Want proof? The Japanese retail and upgrade versions are slated for August just like the US retail version. Of course, the JP market has the Arcade version but they didn't want to eat into their arcade profits unless they had to. They have to do release the upgrade for the US earlier or they risk pissing a huge part of their core demographic off. It appears at Evo but no one but the Japanese has had time to practice it? That PR shit storm would be incredible.

There has been no mention of a Vita version nor upgrade DLC for Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition on 3DS.
