Lol I'll just get it for PC ono
What's worse, a hat of Sony money or a bag of Microsoft passion?

Still helps sony doesn't? Unless you're just saying that nd not being salty like this thread
That's fine, believe whatever you want. Ono's twitter is pretty reliable.
given that we have a rough idea of ROTR's sales performance i'm gonna go with the former
Seems more reliable than someone saying "I heard something, but I can't say from who, but yeah..."
Seems a lot more reliable, thinking over it again.
....that's exactly what I said.
Whatever Capcom showed at the PSX reveal and Capcom Cup last year didn't look like it was in the works for 3+ years.
At most they may have had a few people brainstorming here and there.
Went through a few prototypes first that failed, then development started in the early stages for a year or so, or so I'm assuming.

Given how far along Capcom already was by the time the Sony deal details came to light, you'd have to suspect that they'd have to have done something prior.
Ah interesting, thanks.
What they showed was way too early any way you look at it though.
in this thread, I learned we need proof
SFV would be releasing on popular platforms though, so ROTR sales aren't likely to make for a useful indicator here.
no there was literally nothing
capcom had shelved the entire franchise before sony approached them with the suggestion
why don't you xbots get this??? there literally was never going to be another street fighter.
As I've said before, It's Street Fighter, I'm sure it was in the planning phases and early stages, but I doubt they were putting any major money towards it until Sony got involved.

I imagine since 2012 when they first showed the ps4 commercial?
They probably had a prototype that never got greenlit until Sony got involved. I wouldn't be surprised if Ono's tweet is what got Sony involved to begin with.

I'm just talking suspicion, s'all.
Otherwise, Capcom is pretty damn speedy with their game development for just this one particular game. For some reason. Or maybe it just seems fast. I dunno. To be honest, I have no idea how long SF4 was in development.

Ono tweets a lot of things...

Either he suddenly found a pot of gold during a couple months, or...?
I think your avatar perfectly portrays this post.
I'm really dumbfounded at people. What did they want Ono to say, the trolliest developer about a game funded by Sony at the last question? Seriously im all ears.
How long did it take for Dead Rising 3 to get made?
Maybe they just work faster when they ain't footing all of the bill.
i thought someone posted earlier in this thread an article that said the never going to be another street fighter was false and this would have came out just way later on like years from now.
I thought the post was just sarcasm

Here's exactly what we know:
If SFV was going to get made, it would have come out around or after 2018 at the earliest. There's nothing to suggest definitively that it was going to get made as their seemed to be budget issues.
Everything else seems to be speculation.
Woah there, let's not speculate on the speculation.
Is it really ridiculous that Capcom might not have immediately greenlit SFV without Sony's backing when the very same Capcom almost never greenlit Street Fighter IV? Ono has said repeatedly they had no faith in Street Fighter and the game almost didn't get a chance.
I do think we would have got V eventually (unless Capcom implodes in the next year) but Capcom was clearly hesitant to do another Street Fighter.

Don't speculate his speculation. I'll have to call the speculating police.
When was the Hadouken cabs video thing? 2 years ago?

Does that proof include the person working on it confirming that they hadn't already been talking to/partnered with Sony on it? Because otherwise it is pretty irrelevant

Some people honestly believe that the name Street Fighter holds so much power that it practically guarantees a sequel. The state of Capcom and even the games themselves hold no bearing whatsoever.
Edit: Also, someone's proof is that the game has been in development for 5 years? Like... really?
I mean... I think it's ridiculous. Sfiv was a huge hit that did wonders, while sfxt flopped, a mainline sf was a pretty safe bet as a success. Outside of monster hunter, it seemed like capcom's safest bet
Capcom also put a shit ton of money into a game engine they basically have to throw away after recycling what they can.
They ain't in the black. They in the red.
So much salt in this thread, perfect for my popcorn.
I don't think people like to be laughed at. You know? It's a bit different if the guy came out and said "yeah, sorry about that, but sony struck a deal" or "we needed the initial capital" or anything of that nature to show a bit of respect or humility but nah, straight trolling.
A grown man trolling, like a teenager, to FANS of his own product no less. Da faq?

Actually...
http://www.gamesradar.com/yoshinori-ono-says-street-fighter-5-pc-ps4/
Ono: "I’ve worked on many different projects within Capcom, but in my career here, the greenlight process for Street Fighter 5 was comfortably the most straightforward. This game was probably a hundred times easier to get off the ground than the previous one,” he explains. “The passion around Street Fighter is currently such that the internal team within Capcom has been incredibly eager. There have been far fewer obstacles and far less stress.”
That's not to say, however, that we would have gotta SF5 as soon as we will...or that we would have gotten the same amazing prize pots without Sony. This is definitely not just "moneyhatting" or "paying for exclusivity"...Sony seems much more involved than that. They were the ones who ported USF4, after all. Not, Capcom. Sony's definitely going in on SF.
But, I don't think SF5 was ever in jeopardy of NEVER being made.

Are you guys serious in here? Come on y'all are messing with me here

Honestly I'd rather like some sort of evidence for this, wholly more useful than random statements. Interesting if correct, considering MH4 (Original and Ultimate edition), have shipped combined 8 million worldwide and they have another MH game this year and next with strong pre-orders in Japan.
I knew they're financially doing shit, so it makes sense to put a small team on development for a project in the initial phases until more funding comes in and allowing the project to be expanded upon. Get the core foundation set so that when the time comes for development you'll know based on a few options: receiving additional funding, the company having succeeds on other projects, development having grown enough to be able to justify a larger staff to finish the title, etc. The fact that people are citing the mention that sfv was an inevitability just with a later release leads me to believe they were prepared for the latter option, while hoping for the formers.
Capcom's rationale for why SFxT failed was due to market saturation in the fighting game genre. Now, you don't have to believe that is the reason, but Capcom did on some level so perhaps they didn't think it was time to create any new fighting game.
SFV's first trailer was released in Nov. 2014 and SFxT released in March 2012. So likely they were a year out from the failure of SFxT when they were in talks for V so I imagine Capcom still considered the market saturated, at least enough that a financially unstable Capcom would consider SFV too risky.

Just wondering, did you actually listen to Ono respond or did you simply read a statement with a laugh comment after it? Because it sounds like you actually heard it, which would be the only way you could infer how and why he was laughing. I mean by your suggestion it couldn't possibly be that he was just nervously giggling because it is an obviously touchy question, or that there was a previous back and forth exchange that had him in a jolly mood because he is a jolly guy in general who literally laughs after every sentence he ever seems to say whenever he is on stage or being interviewed.
