Ultra Street Fighter 4 hits PS4 on May 26th, $24.99: PS3 Stick Support Confirmed!

Awesome price, too bad in Australia it's probably gonna be like $40 or something but that's still like half the price of a full retail game lol
 
The digital only kills it for me, I like to have discs to lend or trade in.

Yeah I can't justify buying this digitally. A big part of purchasing this game would be playing other people in person, another part would be owning the definitive edition of Super Street Fighter 4.

This kills it on both ends along with the fact I see zero reason why Street Fighter is such a risky title a physical release can't be justified. The price isn't low enough to counteract this either, but maybe I'll pick it up on sale later, or more likely get it as a free download off PlayStation Plus.
 
Didn't know a date had been announced already. Digital is right up my alley, and at 25 bucks, it's a steal for the amount of hours I'll get from it. Can't wait for the salty gaf runbacks.
 
Honestly, I'm not sure how many physical copies of this they could move to justify it. I know it's Street Fighter, but would it be worth it for them?

It's all about retailers shelve space. If they decide to go physical, Sony will probably have to take in $14.00 to allow retailers take $10.

Digital is the way to go for that kind of price. I wouldn't mind paying $35 for it if it was physical. But that's it.
 
People actually like that price?

For a 7 year old game?

$15-$17 would be reasonable to me...

I'm wondering, isn't this cross play? I thought I heard something about this a little while ago. Would actually get me back online and trying to reclaim my Number 1 spot as Blanka and represent my clan ANBU again.

I would imagine a lot of people would pick it up on price alone. people that sold/traded in their PS3s or 360s and people just hungry for next gen content. Ditto with REmake.
 
Yea, Kinda feels like they burned out the # of physical editions with last gen consoles. ( ex original, super, ultra, and arcade edition)

But since this is it's first time dropping on PS4, Maybe they should do a Limited release with either Amazon, Gamestop or a Sony/Capcom online store exclusive.

Anyways, I think it's a good price, so I may pick it up again, but we'll see.
 
Hori and Madcatz both have PS4 sticks.

Plenty if you look around. I saw a good USF4 PS3/PS4 compatible one going a while back. Of course this was before USF4 and SF5 were officially announced so they had to do the "i don't know nothing about nothing bub" schtick.
Huh, really? Haven't seen any sold here in Sweden so I wasn't sure there had been any. Guess it's either wait and see, import or hope my old ps2 stick will work somehow.
Thanks!
 
Id be happy to rebuy this game if ps3 arcade sticks get support. Im not much of a pad player when it comes to fighting games and probably wont bother forking out cash for a stick that officially supports the PS4.
 
No. It disconnects every 7 minutes or so. Only way that works is if the game supports the open driver (like mkx). With ps4 use you have to have the titan one ran through the PC with a program running in the background
Yeah I've heard about the disconnect but I thought it could reconnect on its own without having to be tethered to a computer. That really doesn't sound like a satisfying solution.
 
thats not a bad price at all, i think i can gtt this on release, digital only isnt a huge problem for me either.

now they just need to address how sticks are gonna work.
 
When was this confirmed digital only?

It rather sound like they will release it digitally first, and then get out a physical edition afterwards.
 
I seriously can not believe that digital only is a deal breaker for people on this.
U:SFIV with all of the DLC for a great price and people are quibbling.
I can not wait to nail this day one and feed the need until SF:V.

I'd skip a game if it were physical-only, that would be a deal breaker for me. So I guess I understand these people?
 
A physical version would certainly make tournament organisation easier. I'd definitely have gone digital if it were a choice, though; I'd never take the disk out if I bought a physical version.

I'd probably buy a physical copy to give to a friends who's not even interested enough to even play a free copy, though.

I kinda hope all colours and taunts are unlocked from the off, too. The ass-slappin' Taunt 9 is Dan's very best taunt. I can't imagine using any other.
 
Sorry for asking but is this a 1 - 1 port ? I've read they eliminated imput lag but nothing else.

This was running at 720p on ps3 i imagine, 60 fps ? I guess it's 1080p on Ps4 yes ?

I generally love having a physical copy for my shelf but a deal is a deal and with fighting games I like the convenience of having it on my hard drive.
 
I'm assuming it's not cross buy, since I've already purchased the digital version on PS3.
Do we have some information on the sticks compatibility ? I've got the Mad Catz Super Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Tournament for PS3, and last I heard he wasn't PS4 friendly.
 
Maybe it's because I am a PC gamer and only recently got a PS4, but I really don't understand why so many are complaining about the digital only release.

Is it because you can trade it when you are done?

To me the convenience of not having to swap discs is enough to prefer digital only.

I only got Bloodborne disc because I bought the PS4 from Amazon when they offered a free game of choice included in the price and I chose BB.

It has like twice the characters and way more stupid costumes than that 7 year old game.
24.99? SOLD
Digital only? PASS

I'm not going to spend a bunch of money this gen on digital content and then find out the next console generation can't play it.
This makes no sense to me. If they don't want you playing ps4 games in their next system they just won't allow it. How is having the disc going to change this?

Besides there's nothing saying it's a digital only release. For the last two updates, AE and Ultra, they were released digitally first then as discs later on. Wouldn't surprise me if this is the case here.
 
Okay, Got it. I'll pay for this.
Then... Bring UMVC3 PS4 to open my wallet!!!!
They'd need to sign another contract with Marvel since the old one expired a while back. The license however isn't exactly cheap, & Capcom is still trying to bounce back from their financial woes.
 
End of May? Cool, okay
$25? Not bad, I'll triple dip on USF4 (which ends up being... quintuple dip on Super?)
Digital? Great, I usually buy my fighters digitally now anyway, since they tend to load slightly better and also provide me quicker access to just picking them up for some rounds.

Now to decide if I should get rid of my V3 Kai and use that money towards another V4 Kai, so I have 2 PS4 sticks.
 
Since my 6-button USB pads won't work on this version, I have no interest whatsoever. Sony had things right by supporting generic USB pads on the PS3, not sure why they changed that for PS4 other than the obvious answer which is to sell more controllers. If so that's pretty anti-consumer.

Its $25 for the game and all the costumes.
Pretty good price.

I already have the game, and all the costumes. It's not a pretty good price...

It has like twice the characters and way more stupid costumes than that 7 year old game.

What...are you talking about? Twice the characters? This is Ultra-- I already have this game on PS3 with all costumes. I've bought every iteration of the game.

Perhaps you guys truly do not know who I am, but if you played this game seriously online as I did, you should recognize my name, I would think.

Number 1 Blanka ring any bells? Or no lol
