Street Fighter 5 for PS4 & PC teaser trailer

Much of the outrage with Tomb Raider is because Lara has an extensive associated history with playstation and PC. There isn't really an established history for street fighter and Xbox.

You're joking right? PSX classics aside, every street fighter game (2HD, 3rd Strike, 4, X Tekken, MVC3) last Gen was on both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
 
Thats where I'm at.

It is disappointing to see Sony do the same shit Microsoft did.
...and I was hoping for a different game announcement.

...and I say that as someone who'll buy a PS4 early next year and never touch an XBone .

Edit: What duckroll said is correct. Wait and see before hurling around accusations.

Yeah, I have PS4 since January and I'm not impressed but this. I wish they spent their money on something else. Like funding DMC 5.
 
I'd say the explanation is pretty simple.

Ono wanted to make a SF5 but couldn't get funding, so Sony stepped in to make it happen.

It happens.
Sony paid to get the game in PC? I dont know, i dislike when existing franchises go exclusive. Tomb Raider was a dick move, and so is this
 
Yes it was, Sony even had it at there e3.

you are mistaken.

the game's trailer was shown at microsoft's e3 press conference. no platforms were announced. obviously it was safe to assume it was coming to xbox since it was shown at microsoft's conference, but unlike most trailers where the ending has the game's logo with platform logos like steam/playstation/xbox, the trailer only said holiday 2015.

The wording seems pretty clear to me. Why would they say 'Exclusively for PS4 and PC' if it weren't exclusive to those two platforms? If they were simply dismissing the Xbone version, it would have just said, 'Coming to PS4 and PC'.
 
One of the most important japanese fighting game IPs coming to PC but not one the major consoles?

Seriously, who would have imagined this just 3 years ago?.
 
How can you even "accidentally" publish something?...
 
However, it being a PS4 exclusive, it does help broaden the portfolio and silence the critics.

But at what cost?

Most PS4 gamers did not ask for this. Spending money on third party exclusives while continuing to neglect their greatest first party major IPs is not going to silence critics, quite the contrary.
 
That's a fucking dick move for Xbox One owners if it actually turns out console exclusive.


I have both consoles and a PC so it's irrelevant for me. But I'm curious as to how this is a "Dick Move". It's not like street fighter and the Xbox brand have strong ties...
 
There's no point trying to be the voice of reason, DemonNite is already teasing. It's exclusive, everywhere. Might as well hash it out now so GAF isn't completely nuked during PSX.

If it is exclusive to the PS4 for consoles, then I think Capcom's management problems are far deeper than any of us envisioned. They seem to have almost no confidence to go in alone on any big release this generation. They would have canned Dead Rising 3 without Microsoft's support, and if they can't even be bothered to take a risk on Street Fighter V of all things without Sony being a partner, then the company really has a dismal future.
 
Yours is a misguided argument to gauge SF popularity.

The best selling iteration of SF4 talled 3.3M

SFIV sold 3.3M on PS3 and 360.
SSFIV sold 1.9M on PS3 and 360.
SSFIV3D sold 1.2M on 3DS.
SSFIV AE sold 1.1M on PS3 and 360.
Those games are all iterations of Street Fighter 4.

If you're implying sales are declining, because reissues with DLC and patches sold less, you're being disingenuous.
 
If I was angry about Tomb Raider being timed exclusive I should probably be mad about this being PS4 exclusive too, it's only fair. It is a dick move from Sony.

But a smart one. They've basically cornered the FGC this gen with this. Players won't wait on an XB1 version, PC isn't big enough, they'll invest in PS4 sticks and PS+ and that's history. Throw in stuff like Xrd, other Arc Sys titles in future too probably, Tekken being heavily linked to the PS brand, that's game. The community unified on a single platform is great for events.
 
Yeah i was expecting more things from Cap annoucement,but it's not bad.Let's see if this time i can get in the fight genre.
Why people get mad about exclusives like this and TR ? It's competition,nothing new.
 
Fucking yes finally they announce it. But why no xbox version when there is a pc version? did sony moneyhat?
 
I hate all the console wars crap, but the positive reaction for this being Playstation exclusive is odd. Even more so when compared to the vitriolic shitstorm that followed the Tomb Raider announcement.

Well Tomb Raider has forever been a PS and PC franchise, aside some crappy Gameboy games.

Street Fighter always been pushed and pulled everywhere with exclusive games on various systems, so this isn't something new for it.

I don't like any multiplat series going exclusive, but the TR outcry seems more justified.
 
- Japanese trailer
- No press release yet
- Video pulled because it wasn't supposed to be up yet

Maybe all the console warriors on either side should sit down until there's an official announcement worldwide? Because if you're releasing any game in Japan from now on, you're probably not going to consider Xbox as a viable platform to even market for. :P
Y'know, I'd usually agree with you. But the fact that they show the words 'Exclusively on PS4 and PC' in English and not Japanese suggests that this trailer will be used worldwide. To back this up even more the voiceover is English too, and they've just added Japanese subtitles.
 
But at what cost?

Most PS4 gamers did not ask for this. Spending money on third party exclusives while continuing to neglect their greatest first party major IPs is not going to silence critics, quite the contrary.

pretending these "major IPs" are commercially viable with the COD/GTA masses in 2014 helps your argument, but doesn't make it any more truthful
 
Meh, I would prefer if the surprise was Dragon's Dogma. SF5 clearly doesn't need Sony's hand to happen, but DD does.
 
All these years since SFIV, and it looks...exactly the same as SFIV, but a small bump in graphics. Looks like the same art style, same gameplay (as little as we've seen)... disappointing. It looks more like "SFIV Remastered", when you compare it to the differences between every other main game in the series.
 
thats a fantastic trailer for a game I wish I loved

also, I see the timed exclusivity coming a mile away.

in b4 super hyper ultra version.
 
There's no point trying to be the voice of reason, DemonNite is already teasing. It's exclusive, everywhere. Might as well hash it out now so GAF isn't completely nuked during PSX.

I think a real fan of games would PM me TLG's trailer, but okay, I'll let it slide this once.

I'm not teasing anything .. I'd appreciate if you didn't make it sound like I am :)
