PCs are more expensive and have multiple points of failure. For example all it takes to spread a virus to tournament PCs is one USB stick. Plus all kinds of problems with drivers, etc.

Ultra Street Fighter 4 will be played on X360 at EVO2015
- Thread starter dmr87
- Start date
I'm sure i'm oversimplifying things but I don't know why Capcom didn't give them the PC code to port over.
Yep, should have delayed it. Trying to make it to Capcom Cup was not a good decision.
I doubt Other Ocean would have put out a good port if they had five years to do it.

That's what I was thinking. From the small amount I played when it was free on Steam a few weekends ago, it ran fine.

Probably because Capcom never intended to port it to ps4, if it weren't for Sony.

On the upside this means stages other than training room are viable
Cert just checks that it runs and meets certain bullet points. Doesn't check how well it runs

Probably. The translation might be screwed.

They fucked up the MK Kollection and yet here we are.

Hopefully.
Can't wait to see Capcom Cup sponsored by Sony played on the X360.
At least the community events will be spared from this screw up for now, but any competent SF4 player could have spent 5 minutes on the game and told them it was ass, yet they pushed it out anyway.
Capcom should have handled the port, or Sony shouldn't have insisted on getting a rushed USF4 port out the door to make some cheddar off of before the release of SFV.

Those folks who did that SAO Vita localization might have penetrated themselves into another job.
Not likely and by the time they fix it I don't think the FGC would have spent enough time with it.
Huuuuuuge display of incompetence for Sony and screws their plans in a big way. Unbelievable.
Expense, also what else would they play on PC- the only other games that run best on PC are Skullgirls and UM, and PS4 Skullgirls is perfectly fine, and UM games have about the same odds of being at Evo as I do of winning it.

At some point it's gonna be easier to just stick with the current decision than try and switch gears back to PS4. It's possible that they've got a small window, but in all likelihood it's gonna stay on the 360.

Funny. The only reason I even know what evo is, is because of this fuck up lol.

I'm sure he is happy haha. There was some doubt if they'd be able to make the switch, now that they can he's happy.

That's an incredible fuck up. No denying how bad that ends up being for them.
How when Capcom is developing it in house.
Look at it this way. does the MCC sitaution going to stop you from buying Halo 5?
This amounts to a shit port. If SFV releases in a broken state only Capcom is to blame for that.
Happy cuz they are no longer forced to use the PS4 version in the torunament.
I don't think it's to spite anyone. Just saying that because he knows his community doesn't want to play a broken version of the game.

They won't change anymore at this point. I doubt it.
Also already said but, man this game is so fucked up, I can't see it being fixed in time.
You'd think they would have at least made a side-by-side comparison to other versions...
They clearly have no guys testing a fighting game, But all the other stuff like the messed up psn names etc, is just stupid.
Why shouldn't he be happy to announce they're not using a shit port?
Because the community was telling them to not use the ps4 version.
So he is happy to tell them that their wishes will be fulfilled.
I highly doubt by years end it'll be an issue for people. Sony still has SFV exclusive and people will have to buy a PS4 to play it at the competitive level. Doubt their plans are hindered all that much.
Pro players from around the world go to this tournament. Being pro is their livelihood and if they drop a combo cause the game wasn't tested probably, how bad does that make it look? People would riot.
Performance and lag isn't standardized.

I don't see why, Capcom is developing it. If SFV is broken, it's all on Capcom.
The game is not getting fixed before Evo. Not if it's true that they ported the PS3 version over to the PS4. And especially if Other Ocean, a.k.a. Backbone are doing the patching. They are the definition of incompetent.
I would like to be surprised, but come on. We all know Evo is going to be a 360 joint this year. Because Sony went Full Cheapass. And you never go Full Cheapass.

Sony very well could have said "Fuck you, we gave you 500k for this tournament, you're gonna play it on PS4, it's part of the agreement."
That doesn't seem to be the case, so he's happy to announce that it is not.
You are reading to much into it.
No one wants to play a broken mess of a port for a tournament.
Also, how the fuck the PS4 version passed certification, I have no idea.

"I'm fucking pissed to announce that we're using the Xbox version of USF4 at Evo 2015"
Even if they got the ps4 fixed to the point of being equal with the PS3 version (if the PS3 port thing is true)
EVO would still use the 360 version anyway since it's the current tournament version. (And better then ps3)
There seems to be a lot of short term thinking with these remastered ports.
Hire the lowest bidder, track record be damned.
Perhaps also there is much ignorance and apathy towards technical competence at the executive decision making level. You'd think a company like Sony would be smart enough to hire wise long term decision makers in an arm as critical to its long term success as PlayStation.
From my experience only one studio has demonstrated flawless technical prowess to port one generation up. That studio is Hexadrive. Either them, or get the original developers on board.
I can't stand sloppy or dodgy deals to the least deserving.
