Super Street Fighter IV Official Thread

anyone wanna rock some matches tonight? i may pop on for a bit ... need to get the rust off before AE comes out in a few weeks.

Capcom going with some Ubisoft level DRM for AE. Just wow.

 

[smackababy]

Links? I haven't heard anything about this and I was on SRK last night.

that is all i could find which only talks about having GFWL for pc in order to even launch the game. not sure if that is what he was referring to or not.

 

[smackababy]

Can't read that at work, but I figured it would use something like that. SFIV on PC used the same thing.

 

[purbeast0]

yea but i think this is a tad different and that you can't even play single player or local multiplayer without having a GFWL account. i dont think part 1 was like that but i'm not 100%. i thought you only needed the GFWL account for multi but i could be totally wrong.

i actually never played PC version single player so i don't know now that I think about it heh.

You had to have a GFWL account in order to run the game, even if it was an offline account. Apparently, what they are doing for PC is if the user is offline, they are disabling any DLC and only allowing 15 characters to be selectable. Most likely the ones from Super and AE plus maybe Ryu? I can't read any real related links from work.

I guess they learned nothing from that mini-scandal of theirs; when PSN went down and nobody could play Bionic Commando. Or when Ubisoft fubared the Settlers server. Why are they punishing gamers who actually bought the game? Guess I won't be picking this one up.

Capcom isn't worried about PC sales I'm sure. The console release of this will be huge enough for them.

 

[purbeast0]

here is some feedback that Capcom is actually talking about the DRM issues and asking the actual community what they would like to be done.

pretty interesting.

 

[purbeast0]

for those who give a ish ... the AE DLC is now out.

 

[smackababy]

Yep and I wish I had taken today off =(

 

[purbeast0]

Yep and I wish I had taken today off =(

i dl'ed it this morning because i went into work late and have to work late. got back from the gym and messed around with evil ryu for like 10 minutes in training before i had to go to work.

won't have too much time to play tonight i don't think because i am finishing up my ae app and have to do laundry.

 

[child of wonder]

Not sure if I'm even going to bother with AE. My gamepad is broken and don't really feel like buying another unless I came across a good deal on a stick.

 

[smackababy]

Really really liking Yun and my Fei Long is still strong. Just wish my execution wasn't ass. If anyone wants to play some casuals, I'll be playing a good bit.

Child of wonder, if you are looking for a stick, go check the forums around SRK, I'm sure someone is selling one.

 

[ManBearPig]

Anyone have a link or something to see what the price and content is?

 

[smackababy]

Price is 1200 MS points and content is Yun, Yang, Oni Akuma, and Evil Ryu plus balances to most (if not all) characters. There is also a lot of online stuff with the replays and following players.

There is a bug that if you buy Super off the marketplace, you can't install the update to AE. That will be patched, and the PS3 version of AE was delayed until today I believe.

 

[purbeast0]

i didn't get a chance to play it last night other than just a tad in training mode to get some info for my app which i actually finished last night heh. i did mess around with balrog in training mode to check out his nerfs, and it really blows that his far st.jab does not connect on the crouching larger characters anymore. it seems like in general his range has been nerfed a tad, but i need to play it somre more.

it also seemed like it played a bit faster ... is this something confirmed, or is this just me not playing offline for months heh?

 

[smackababy]

With the new changes, it feels like the game caters more to rush down now. That isn't a bad thing, but it isn't nearly as slow.

so there is definitely a speed change in the game then?

 

[ManBearPig]

Got it, thanks.

 

[smackababy]

In actual speed, no; in terms of how the game is played, yes. Sure there are still turtle characters, but overall it is no longer Turtle Fighter IV or Shoto Fighter IV. It is now Dive Kick Fighter IV.

 

[buzzsaw13]

Played for about 2-3 hours and quality of online play on PSN is quite bad. 50 percent of the time I get someone with a green bar I get terrible lag. Hooray for bad netcode lol.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

SF4:AE All Yun All the time.

it's not bad netcode ... it's PSN.

i own ssf4 and sf4 on both consoles and the online experience on PSN is LOL compared to XBL.

this goes pretty much for every multiplatform game i've played on both. games like uncharted 2 were decent online though. that is about it heh, resistance was pretty bad.
