Those two were essentially exclusive in name only, as each cartridge had BOTH games on it. It's just that Champion Edition was emphasized on Genesis, while Turbo Hyper Fighting was emphasized on SNES (I think they might have some exclusive modes though). I'm surprised this isn't more widely recognized.

Didn't Ono say that Capcom couldn't afford to make SF5? So in this case that's good that Sony helped funding, I don't see how this is similar to Tomb Raider situation.
No, because SF V has never been announced. TR was present to E3 sony conference. It's completely different.What MS did was more irritating, I don't remember any precedent, that's why people was upset.It's not identical. But it's pretty comparable.
I mean Street Fighter was always kind of a Playstation game, (all the alphas and other series spin offs came out on PS first). We just all played on 360 because that was the popular console at the time and the online was superior when vanilla SF IV came out.
I don't wanna read 52 pages of thread...
A game like this being exclusive, i think hurts the fighting game community. SF should be on every console. Unless Sony funded, like dead rising 3. And i say this as a ps fanboy.
HOLY SHIT. What a megaton to wake up to.
Sure. But presumably a different game would have come out of capcom with some of this manpower- albeit maybe a broader/smaller one. Not sure it's a complete total different situation like your painting it.Not really. Tomb Raider was already being funded and released. MS hopped in and said "we want it only on us". For SFV, Ono tweeted that there was no budget for SFV, so Sony would have actually helped fund the project. Not really the same at all.
Well you are free to believe whatever you want, but to me that sounds like Nintendo saying they have no budget for a new Zelda or Konami saying they have no budget for a new Metal Gear. If Capcom really has no budget for a new Street Fighter they are either going bankrupt or there's something wrong with their priorities.
It's fine to be OK with this, but does anyone in this thread honestly believe that Street Fighter 5 needed outside funding to be made? I mean, it's one of Capcom's top franchises...Not really. Tomb Raider was already being funded and released. MS hopped in and said "we want it only on us". For SFV, Ono tweeted that there was no budget for SFV, so Sony would have actually helped fund the project. Not really the same at all. It's like Bayonetta 2. The game wasn't going to get made, but Nintendo gave them the cash to make it happen.

That's all changed now, I'm glad for this exclusivity. This is a healthy kind. Think about it, there will be a definitive place to play SFV now, there will be no arguments on which platform it's better on. I mean I guess the PS4 vs PC discussion will inevitably happen but as far as tournaments go, it's gonna be played on PS4.
Does anyone still care about the Tomb Raider exclusivity though? I always thought it was more of a "how dare they" type of upset than actually wanting the game. Now that we've had time to digest that announcement, people remember that new age TR is just a poor man's Uncharted.It's not identical. But it's pretty comparable.

Honestly, no matter which side of the divide you are on, I think it might behoove people to stop being presumptuous. Xbone fans decrying hypocrisy would benefit from not committing the "GAF is a one person hivemind" fallacy and should do just a bit of homework trying to cross reference posting from this thread and the Tomb Raider thread before making accusations. Further, waiting for more info about how this deal came to be would probably be wise. If you're a Sony fan who wants to argue that these situations aren't the same, it might also be wise to wait for more details to surface before running with an old Ono quote to surmise that this is obviously the same exact situation as Bayo 2 and that the game wouldn't exist without Sony's investment.
The fact that it's coming to PC makes me think it's actually not a moneyhat at all, but rather Capcom looking at Japanese Xbone numbers and not bothering with the format. I genuinely can't remember a moneyhat that mentioned a PC version up front, it was always single console exclusive and then maybe a PC version six months down the line. Sony especially has a track record of keeping exclusives off PC, so for them to moneyhat a game and let there be a PC version would be extremely unusual.

Street Fighter is the biggest prize in the fighting game genre.
