I agree but then that would fly in the face of the narrative that certain games wouldn't exist without outside funding. Maybe they would but Capcom made the decision to take the money from Sony instead. Is this somehow still noble and pro-consumer in comparison to, say, the tomb raider situation? Like Steve Youngblood was saying earlier nobody knows (or likely ever will know) the exact and full details so it amounts to a bunch of mental gymnastics that are usually done to support a preexisting bias or fit a narrative that someone wants to to true.
Would be worthless to them in the West and Japan is already a lost cause for them... not that they'd be able to get the series away from Nintendo anyways.
Well they got DR3 and PS4 owners didn't so it evens out.
Those are Microsoft games?
Gran Turismo, God of War, Uncharted, The Last of Us, The order 1886, Bloodborne, etc. are not, and have never made their way to PC.

We're talking popularity here. Twitch and live streams of tournies shot it up, but you don't get there without SFIV. It absolutely matters.
3D fighters are doing way better now and while I fucking love Guilty Gear, I can't credit it with any part of the renaissance.
Street Fighter? I find it impossible to believe that Street Fighter was never coming out unless Sony saved it. Come on guys.
Sony payed for console exclusivity (which I'm assuming is cheaper)?
I have no horse in the exclusivity war race, I don't view this as noble or a evangelical gift from Sony, nor am I affected by the Tomb Raider stuff. I also don't view these deals as actions committed by demons. The reality of the deal is what it is, why that deal happened in the first place is interesting.
Uh, it was probably happening regardless, as a Capcom producer talked about it taking the company until 2018 for SFV. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/no-street-fighter-v-until-2018-capcom-producer/1100-6412556/

Then you might want to watch the PSX stream tomorrow from the sound of things. :]
I never said it was great and the FGC pre-SFIV had an eighth of the numbers it pulls now for all games: Tekken, KoF, MK, SC, you name it. After SFIV the "09ers" came out in full force and the FGC has been steadily growing since whereas before SFIV fighting game numbers for ALL games were stagnant and low (comparatively).
"Notably, the newly released Street Fighter IV increased Evo attendance by a considerable margin, and the tournament for it alone boasted more 1000 participants, almost three times that of the tournaments for the other games"
SFIV brought interest to fighting games as a whole, there was a boom of entrants and interest after it was released.
Edit:
I was mostly addressing the "SFIV just made Capcom/SF relevant again" comment when SF/Capcom was always relevant and among the highest entered games.
Edit 2: Yeah, I was wrong in the way I worded that, my mistake.
I wouldn't be surprised if next year every big fighting game franchise is on PC.
Just do it for the lols really. I would love to see a real Next Gen Monster Hunter. Game has been held by the PS2 gameplay shackles for years.
I think MS has plenty of good projects in the works and I don't see them sitting back and letting SF5 wash over them. Its probably timed in Japan anyway but SF5 is not going to sway me to buy a PS4 to play it. I suck at fighting games haha.
And Arcsys games on PC will still be a revision or two behind.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Can't see MS doing that considering MKX was announced multiplatform ages ago unlike SFV which we just found out about
Get burned on SFII?

The fighting game scene was dead and buried since the fall of the arcades for many years until SF4.
Twitch helped a lot too.
So if Sony stepped in to help fund it and get the game out earlier (probably 2016?) is that acceptable?

Yeah it's funny how people forget Tekken 5 and VF4. I mean, for 2D fighters things kinda did stagnate after CvS2 and until around SFIV. But 3D fighters kept it going big w/ those two.
And now it's the inverse; 2D fighters are big, 3D fighters have kind of waned. Namco could easily do a Tekken remaster w/ just the original cast up to 3. Like a Tekken Remix or something.
Cut down on all the extra crazy characters, play on nostalgia, remove some of the more obscure/obfuscating mechanics introduced in later games....there needs to be some kind of 3D fighter to ease players back into the scene as well as SFIV did (well, until you dug deeper into that game competitively, but that's the case with most fighters)

Enjoy waiting 2 years so you can save 15 bucks
Have you seen MH4? It's seen the most gameplay additions of any the games and its on 3DS. The only way it's been shackled is in regards to graphics, but MH4 has the best animations of any of the Monster Hunter games.
Its not as bad, but it can also be bad for the game. There are very obvious things from the SF4 framework in that video that came out.
Sure, if you are ok with Sony paying to keep some people from playing the game.
Business is business. It is a good move for Sony. I just hope people that get mad at MS for this kind of thing do the same with Sony.

Reality is that some of people who own a specific console will want for it to flourish first and foremost. Whether the competition is getting the same thing doesn't mean shit. So I wouldn't worry if I was you, because it's just going to wear you out.
A few jump animations look great but its still MH underneath. The core is still old and it works. Most fans don't want major changes but I would love to see it nevertheless. MH could have way better animations if not for its hardware links.
Anyway, I have gone off topic. Sorry all!

Halo is Xbox exclusive, Xbox is a Microsoft's game console. Halo is also on PC which means Windows system, strangely it's also a OS by Microsoft. Obviously an Xbox only game would be better but having this on PC for them was not that bad.
Sony doesn't have Windows, so it makes less sense. Besides, like it was said, Street Fighter is one the most stable series of Capcom. They can really fund this game.
You were here around the time Rise of the
There was anger everywhere
MK X already has a co-marketing agreement with Sony I think (they got the "exlcusive" reveal earlier this year (probably nothing major though). #rollseyes
The salt is amazing ... more than I expected tbh.
DR3 anyone?
Even more recently ROTR?
As much as I despise 3rd party exclusives, even temporary (there is 0 reasons for them, with the sole excpetion of "otherwise it wouldn't get made", which in 99% is imo a BS excuse to start with, cf ROTR), if MS is going to play that way, there is little room to complain about Sony going toe to toe and fighting fire with fire... Unfortunately.
I'm sure Capcom wants to put SFV into arcades in Japan, hence the PC version.
I think they're talking about how there isn't a lot of anger with this announcement, but it's still too early since we don't have enough information about it since this was a leak and not even an official announcement.

I never got into the Street Fighter games. I was always a Tekken and Soul Calibur fan growing up myself. Is this a franchise that you can be ok at rather quickly but takes a lot of time to be good at, or is there a steep learning curve from the start? I would be interested in getting back into fighting games again, so I will definitely keep my eyes on this.
Happy to have another reason to pick up a PS4 in the future, but third party exclusives are a downer - especially for anyone who cannot afford multiple consoles. A lot of people say that they should spend that money on their own first party games, and if the industry was just concerned with their audiences well being that would make sense. Sadly they probably gain much more in the short run spending that money on exclusivity instead of spending more ramping up one of their own studios for a new title.
This is a console war after all and while we benefit from some side-affects there are also some casualties. ; )

Flourish? By limiting your user base?
Well we know MK X is coming and it was announced as a Multiplat.
We just found out SFV exists and they never mentioned any Platforms before that.
But what if someone really got a PS4 in expectation to play MK X which was announced as a Multiplat?
Just cause Microsoft doesn't want them to do a PS4 version after it was announced there was one some(majority of people this Gen) won't be able to play it.
In that scenario...
Microsoft would take away a game from players expecting it.
Sony isn't taking away SFV from X1 Gamers cause we never knew it would come for the Xbox One.
But hey if Microsoft wants to go that step then have fun - This is nothing but bad PR for them in a scenario where they would do that...for any game that was announced as a Multiplat.

this could be another hoax like the SF cabs video or whatever.
itll be funny if its a hoax and people are outed..funny everyone posting videos about it would be the last person to play the game but they feel the need to post a "How i feel today" video about it

Sony lets Pub Fund games go to other platforms all the time. They are generous like that.

Over 100 million users on steam make the pc too big to ignore.
Not happening.
He meant that no one company owns the PC gaming market.
My guess is this is an actual console exclusive. Considering capcom is known to do those. Example: Dead Rising 3 and Deep Down (what happened to that game?)
But yeah, people are taking this news a lot better than the tomb raider news.
Big difference, was that Rise of the Tomb Raider was a multiplatform game from the get-go before MS secured it as a timed exclusive.
Street Fighter V is different.

What? Did you understand what I said? The person who owns a PS4 is not losing out on anything here. I said some people only care about getting the most they can, not about whether the competing console is getting the same game.
