Saying they dropped Other Ocean and a mini-team at Capcom or some other team like Hexadrive is working on it will help a lot.

Sony screwed the pooch here... whatever that means
But it makes no sense. You can't just hand over the most flawed version of the game at the time to port over. It should be easier to port PC to PS4.
This is why I saw the responsibility is shared. I believe all parties involved wanted a fast port of the game.
I'd say its even worse because not only do they have to dangle with CELL's issues when PS4 is not even remotely the same, they have to deal with all of the PS3 versions's issues specifically as well. No PC code means no higher grade textures, AF or AA sliders at all, because PS3 never had any of those to begin with.
If they had used PC code, they could have just went with the PC highest grade assets, but yeah...i still don't understand going with PS3 code to begin with. If Capcom was the one who decided that, they need to come clean
Look, I'm no apologist for Sony. That's not the point I'm trying to make.
I'm saying MrWizard could have set a different narrative. It's called being a professional and looking after your sponsors as best you can, something which should absolutely matter to him.
Maybe.
It may not be said but I'm certain Capcom has a hand in helping fix this now.

Besides the input lag (which is the same as the arcade version), what is better about the X360 version for tournaments vs PS3?

We have a system for that, it's called the Xbox 360.

Capcom better be checking SFV so hard to not give being supervising or investing a good bunch of money on SFIV
Maybe but remember this studio do ports for a cheap price.

I think I heard that some stages cause more lag than others. Not sure to be honest.
At this point, I feel like it's more about Sony (and Capcom) coming out and showing that they actually give a damn about their customers. Other Ocean doesn't need to apologize, they just need to disappear.
I hope this never dies.

Why is everyone blaming Sony here for a game to be played on a 360 at a gaming event? The fuck did Sony do?

The PS4 port was supposed to be used in Evo because it was promoted as being the definitive version. Turns out it wasn't.

I was shocked. I want my money back, too.
How's anyone but Sony's (and Other Ocean) fault?
Capcom probably didn't have plans for the game on the platform to begin with and trusted Sony with the whole ordeal.

Because fuck fei.
Again they share blame. How do they provide them with the PC code? How do they not check in on their own flagship game that's supposed to be the standard for their premier tournament?

Good. This is deserved. This is first and foremost Sony's fault.
Any statement from Sony?

Why wouldnt they be able to advertise Street Fighter 5 though? Its still a brand new game. Unless you mean that there was some marketing deal that was only possible because of the PS4 port of Ultra Street Fighter 4.
I wonder what Miyamoto's thoughts are on Duke Nuke Forever hehe
(Besides the long loading times on consoles, i actually thought that it was a pretty good game). There is always possible for patches too, so a game isnt necessarily bad forever. But yeah, a delay could minimize the chance of a game being bad, indeed.Lol

Why is this such a big thing? I'm genuinely confused by the responses in this thread. I know this competition is apparently a very big deal, but why exactly did people ever believe that the PS4 version of this game was somehow automatically a lock as the preferred platform for this competition? Didn't the PS4 version literally just get released, meanwhile the game has been available on other platforms since around September of last year?
I imagine you'd go with a version of the game where the various competitors have had a decent bit of time and preparation.

Wow what a disaster.
Those suits must be so confused right now. They'll learn though.
Is kazunoko going to EVO this year?

Capcom handed over the code to their own game, they handed over the PS3 code instead of PC. They are explicitly also to blame for the quality of the port.
Sony and Capcom need to focus on fixing this shit as quick as possible and providing damage compensation through apologies as well as ASAP patching or refunds. As someone else said, Other ocean only needs to probably not get any work ever again unless they can provide proof they can do more than assemble some code together from already provided assets
Because Sony/Capcom marketed this as the definitive edition of the game and went out of their way to try to make it the preferred platform for tournaments.

Today Sony learned that the lowest bid isn't always the best bid
Who said they did/did not? Probably Sony or Other Ocean just requested the PS3 code to Capcom and that's what they did, for a competent developer that's a good enough basis to make a port.
Also did they really needed had to check stuff with a port of a pretty basic 7 y/o game?
More about how come Other Ocean didn't even think about calling a couple of random FGC players to try the thing? When the game released FGC players realized within seconds that the game felt quite off.

Sony has a partnership with Capcom on this. They announced that the PS4 ver would be the ver to play on the capcom pro tour. Turns out the port is shit.
It was a deal. The PS4 version was going to be used in tournaments going forward. This change was only recently made because the port is so bad.

Most matches get played on training stage, but it's not even close to 100%. Plus it's nice to be able to have the option to play on other stages don't you think?

The big deal was the PS4 was going to be the definitive version and be used in Capcom Cup events. I think everyone assumed because of this standard that they wouldn't botch the port, but they did for some reason. In reality I don't think it's as big a deal as people are making it out to be because this only applies to a small section of gaming in general (struggle for Fighting Games real), but still it should have never happened.
Yah but supposedly only a couple other stages lag, and I believe those are the newer stages that weren't properly optimized (the ones ported from SFxT). I haven't even seen definitive proof that on both systems they don't lag (and what stages do).
The ps4 version was pushed and promoted as the tournament standard going forward, and Sony added 500000 dollars to the pot at EVO as part of the initiative. It's a big deal that USFIV won't be played on a Sony platform because someone screwed up the port.

Because CPT. Capcom was mandating the PS4 version be used when it released as the CPT standard, which EVO is part of. When the PS4 version dropped, it was all fucked up, and CPT/Capcom dropped the PS4 as standard. I'm not sure what happened with the Other Ocean patch that was supposedly dropping today, but because PS4 version was dropped, EVO won't have to buy a bunch of PS4s, and people won't have to buy a PS4/PS3 stick for it.
*edit* Beaten like a red-heade step child 3 times over.
Beautiful!Street Fighter Tournament?
We have a system for that, it's called the Xbox 360.
ya sure
Nah I'm reading the PS3 version is the base. If Capcom provides the code then that's what they use. Sony nor other ocean can make the game out of nothing. Capcom has to provide the code.

The patch went for submission yesterday/today. It has to be QA before it goes live next week.
Exactly. first and foremost the need to fix the technical glitches. Then focus on getting the game up to speed.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering.
Either way, anything Xbox isn't really ideal in a main event tournament for a game whose sequel will be a PS4 console exclusive. I'm positive that they wanted an early start on making Street Fighter be greatly associated with the Playstation brand; That can't really happen anytime this year though due to this whole situation.

Someone catch me up please, what is this "Sony fucked up" stuff all about... I'm assuming there's more to it then it not being played on the PS3/PS4 at Evo.
EVO already has PS4s or Sony already gave them, they are running other games like Xrd and Mortal Kombat X on the PS4.
