Well this is weird but i kinda expected it to be honest, i'm mostly just shocked pc is getting a version of this game so quickly. I must say i was not expecting a streetfighter game any time soon based off what the folks at capcom kept saying so either it was all lies or Sony helped them fund this game. I was actually hoping for a playstation exclusive Devil May Cry game myself. And since its still coming to pc its not really a exclusive just like Titanfall.

I own a PS4, PS3 and Vita so I don't see what your point is.
 
I'm okay with all of this.

If Sony wants to moneyhat a game, fine. It will be incentive for people to buy a PS4. I'm sure that is one of Sony's goals, duh.

It isn't like Sony's Board of Directors are going to take into consideration how sad people will be on the Xbox side of things before they green light the money to buy the exclusive console rights.

Hey, if you only have an XB1 and want to play the game, GameStop has a wonderful trade-in program for consoles!

I imagine that vanilla Street Fighter V will be a PS4 console exclusive but the inevitable "Super Edition" will be released on Xbox One as well about a year later.

I see the Tomb Raider situation playing out in the same way with a "definitive edition" hitting the PS4 in 2016.

My issue is not that there's literally "no difference at all" between circumstances. It's just that I grow really, really fucking tired of the stupid console wars bullshit that arises in response to trying to establish how one isn't just different than the other, but so wildly different that it's completely ok to lose my shit when this thing happens, but when this other fairly similar but slightly different thing happens I can spin it as totally positive. I'm not saying that Tomb Raider and Street Fighter and five other game examples are exactly the same thing and it's pointless to distinguish factors at all. However, the motivation behind the deals is still entirely the same. A publisher needs/wants money, and a platform holder is trying to bolster their library with exclusives.

So you're acknowledging that there are indeed differences between the situations as Amir0x stated. But are tired of console warrior garbage and wish people would look at the bigger, broader, less detailed/discussable (is that a word?) version instead, which is "publishers like money and exclusives". Can't say I'm on-board with that kind of thinking, especially on a discussion board.

Look at Bayo 2. There were tons of console biased fanboys celebrating that game's exclusivity, which was really annoying. But at the end of the day, I think we all can agree that the game probably wouldn't exist if it's wasn't for Nintendo, correct? Since nobody else stepped up and all. Now, did the people celebrating truly care about that distinction, or were they just using it as a convenient excuse to justify when they rage over exclusivity and when it's alright with them? Nobody care say for sure, except when it comes to people at Amir0x who have made it clear that they don't care about fanboy nonsense. But regardless of a persons true intentions, I don't think significant differences that Ami brought up should be swept under the rug. Of course "it's just business" and the end goal is the same. Everyone knows that....at least I hope. But it doesn't mean that a person's reaction should be the exact same each time it happans, and that they must be a part of console wars bullshit if it's not. Even though that can sadly end up being the case.

Better response, no input lag? Framerate better too in a lot of FGs I believe.

The reason 360 was preferred was simply because multiplats ran better on 360 compared to PS3. Now the situation is that multiplats run better on PS4 compared to XBO. The FGC goes to where the game runs better, there's not really a brand loyalty.

I'm quite looking forward to this, I enjoyed what I played of 4, still not as good as third strike.

Shame for the XBox one owners as it stands.

A lot of salt in this thread about moneyhats, so here's a different theory straight from my ass. Maybe the probable arcade version will be using modified PS4 hardware to keep down the costs, it happened before with some Namco games iirc with earlier playstations.

They've gone and done it... they've gone and woke the sleeping dragon now.

Sony should have left well enough alone and now they're going to get it. It's not enough that they're bleeding benjamins from practically every crevice of their existence. Now they go and throw immense moneyhats at a niche game like Street Fighter just to piss off the market. Why pay to keep a game out of the hands of as many gamers as possible? Why not put that money into first-party studios and games instead?

I know, I know... this is the way the business goes as they say. Well, they forced Microsoft's hands with their early sales lead and Microsoft only responded with an NPD whooping (source: musings thread) by way of incredible deals and value. Microsoft will undoubtedly follow this announcement up with some real megatons of their own.

Gears remake collection. A true Banjo sequel. Halo 5 beta in the hands of gamers. The next Bayonetta, Dead Space and Crysis as exclusives. Those are the kinds of blockbuster response announcements I expect, and then some. You hit Microsoft with a jab, you best be ready for a flurry of uppercuts coming at you in response.

Do you feel embarrassed when you post shit like this?

I'm going to throw this bomb out there but I really hope they will make SF a 4 button fighter so we can use our awesome gamepads vs always having to shell out for a new gamepad / fightstick.
 
Mass Effect was as well, like I said, that does not mean a game cannot go to other platforms...someone else can publish a title on other platforms.

This is Capcom though, they wouldn't let other people publish fucking Street Fighter of all things, at least I don't think they would.

I wish it was a 4 button fighter too but that will never happen at this point. That's a defining characteristic of the franchise itself.

What the Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Never thought I would see SF5 listed as PS4 and Xbone exclusive. I'm so confused.

Clearly.

The Dualshock 1 and 2 right side shoulder buttons were actually pretty decent for HP and HK. It wasn't until analog triggers and the 360 controller's horrible bumpers showed up that I started looking into fightsticks.

What in world... This is the game the I'd expect to be available on every system possible. That's a pretty huge get for Sony, now it looks like PS4 is positioned to be the fighter's console of choice.

holy shit this is the best thing i have ever woke up to

looks so goood. Has there been any extra additional info other than the OP?
 
All these games you're listing are 1st party exclusives, where fans have a reasonable expectation that those games will never be on any other platform.

Right, but my point is that games -- particularly exclusives -- factor a lot into the decision to invest in a platform. As a consumer, the most ideal situation is that I buy one box that can play every game. However, I also understand that this isn't how the industry works. Again, I feel like I need to clarify that I don't have a problem with people that are bothered by exclusivity deals on principle. But I am somewhat tired of seeing deals get dissected in such a way so that -- despite obvious similarities -- this exclusive deal I like is fine because of these reasons but this other deal I don't like is not ok because of these other reasons.

I mean, something like Bayonetta 2 is obviously an example of something that shouldn't be complained about. The game wouldn't have been made if Nintendo didn't step in. I agree. I'm not calling the Bayo 2 deal bullshit. But then again, I'm not calling these other deals bullshit either. It is what it is. But I don't want the precedent to be that I'm only ok with these deals if the publisher/platform holder can sell me a narrative that it wouldn't exist any other way. Ultimately, I feel like the easier/more consistent thing to do is simply decide whether or not I'm ok with exclusivity deals.

Personally? I am. I'm not saying I love them. I'm certainly not saying I want to see more of them. I'm just saying that I accepted it as a cost of doing business a long, long time ago. This isn't my first rodeo. I've been gaming since the late 80s. Platform holders striking up partnerships with developers and publishers isn't a new thing.

Now that I think of it, didn't a journalist tweet not long ago that an upcoming Capcom or Sony announcement would make people "rage?" I guess this was it.
 
Dayum. It's a good thing I have a PC then. Still, messed up for owners of the Xbox One. Probably retaliation for the Tomb Raider exclusivity.
 
I've never bought a Street Fighter game in my life so the game itself being only on PS4 console-wise doesn't affect me. But what I am interested to know, is how this situation came about. Was it a multiplatform game that has been moneyhatted? Or does the game only exist because of Sony's input? If it's the former this is no better than the Tomb Raider situation and is overall detrimental to the industry, if it's the latter it's fair game and I applaud Sony for their foresight.

Either way, it'd be interesting to cross reference the reactions to the two situations from Neogaf users to see if there's any hyporcrisy.

It's not "good" in the sense that other players being deprived of a game makes playing it on your system better. But it is "good" in the sense that any exclusive is good -- it bolsters a more unique library to justify the investment. Mind you, I agree. In my perfect world, every game would just come out on PC and I wouldn't need the Wii U and the PS4 that I have (don't have a One yet). But -- and I want to make it painstakingly clear that I'm not arguing that the business rationale behind exclusivity is precisely the same -- if I'm buying a PS4 for the next Uncharted, an exclusive like Street Fighter V helps justify the investment in the platform. If I bought my Wii U for Smash, the existence of Bayonetta 2 also helps justify the investment in the platform. If I bought a One for Halo, Tomb Raider's exclusivity helps justify the investment in the platform.
Assuming that game isn't part of a series that has bolstered fanbase across different platforms (assuming said platform's successor exists) in a short period of time which by moves such as this, you're just basically abolishing half of your consumers.

Also: unless this Street Fighter is doing stuff that can only be done on the PS4 (and going by the previous game and it also being on PC)...nah. Those aren't really the kind of games you would want to bolster if the previous title that was proven to be done on other hardware in a single release, let alone still fresh in the mind of the fans who own those previous devices.

Unless it was some lost game or series making a return and was never that much of a platform loyalist to begin with... ok...but titles like Street Fighter isn't and the DLC after Super do count as on going investment of gamers to that series of the platform of their choosing.

What I am saying is: making 3rd party exclusives on recent successful* multiplatorm titles in this day of age where the consoles themselves are so similar could (because there is a possibility that it really seriously need funding and this platform would help) lead you to looking like an capitalistic dick.

*Realistic expectations then what board of directors think is successful because 3M not being enough...jesus, Square.

The reactions are different but i still don't get what point are you trying to make. It's not like i'm saying opposite things in each one.

You did. Check the two unedited posts I quoted. You said TR was a great grab for MS and you said Capcom is pissing off a portion of the SF community. I'm not denying that Capcom is pissing people off with this decision, but you clearly had a different reaction to both games and their exclusivity arrangements. That's the point.

If it makes you feel better i can say that it's a great grab for Sony, even better than TR for MS.

I really don't care, to be honest. I just got a hunch when I saw SgtCobra's post, so I decided to check your post history, and my hunch was right.
