Gamespot: Yoshinori Ono talks DLC, Beta Woes and Xbox One Fans
- Thread starter Rymuth

The difference being that he is clearly joking, as opposed to the original quote.
Also, they've already been super clear about the whole Xbox One situation so honestly the question was redundant anyway.
I know right, the guy is like old enough to be his fan's fathers and he does something like that? I now have to move this game to "pre-owned" buy status now.
Well yeah, I agree. That's what I said in the post you are quoting. If Capcom still exists in 2017 we probably would have seen V around 2018.
And quoting for the new page:
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.
It's more realistic they'd be bought out by another company and existing as a division within them than ceasing to exist.
That would have really sucked for the tournament scene.

Complain much? It's not a marketing ploy like Sony did before. He's only being transparent on what Xbox owners' options are to play SFV, besides PC. Buying a capable PC will cost you more than $300. I assume Capcom allowed the deal to happen since Sony was willing to pony up the funds for development and marketing.
With each iteration of SFIV the community kept shrinking, which probably didn't give Capcom a reason to invest their own money into the next iteration of SF. Just look at the DR3 deal with Microsoft. That's never going to come over to a Sony platform.
You're reaching.
Laughing and telling people to "save" a la Ken Kutaragi isn't exactly my idea of him being "nervously giggling". But who knows, right?
You ever hear Ono speak, bro?
What do you want Ono to say? If you have an XB1 and want to play SFV, you either 1) pay $300 for a PS4 2) pay way more than $300 to get a PC that runs SFV. That's reality. Really, really wanting to play a game doesn't change things.
I want an interviewer to ask Ono "what do you say to people who don't have $60 to buy SFV?" and see the backlash to that.

A PR guy he isn't. There are much more benign ways to answer that question about SFV fans with the "wrong console". Not salty though, just observing.
Ono laughs like an insane person, constant and often.
He clearly states the price of the PS4 which is at a great price right now, ($299 would've sounded better) doesn't say PC because obviously increasing the sales of PS4 consoles is very beneficial, I think he did PRETTY DARN GOOD.
What's absurd about it? It's a PS4/PC exclusive. What's he supposed to say?
To buy one with your parents credit card, obviously.
He announced Harada for SFV.
Supr srs guis.
List components and prices to build a PC, of course.
I'd be impressed.

"We appreciate our fans on other platforms, but we are currently focused on bringing this title to the PS4 and PC only."
It's not rocket science
You're right, it's wonderful. This needs to be taught in University business colleges all over the world.
We've learned very well in this gen how responding either to an interview, or in social media, can royally fuck something up. But hey this time it's ok, no backlash needed (as long as you're perceived as "silly" that is)
Sells absolutely no extra console, its neutral af. Gives hope its coming to xbox one. Sorry PR IS ABOUT SELLING BABY. AINT NO PS4's AND PC'S BEING SOLD WITH THAT STATEMENT.
Aren't you a character.
Your PR speak makes it sound like they one day SFV *could* be on XB1 when they decide to "focus" on that platform. Frankly, he should have pulled a Kamiya and told Xbox One owners to beg Sony for a port because Capcom's hands are tied.
Ugh, this kills me because Blanka is not even in the starting rosterFYI, Hadouken Cabs was in 2014, not 2012
The bolded implies that it will be ported to another platform later. That just tells people "so you're saying there's a chance".
And Ono was robbed of his ultimate troll with Famitsu's Laura leak.
Good.
That was evil af. Could've been one of the funniest moments. Famitsu was like "NOPE" -presses leak button-

So, scratch "currently". It's still a more benign way to phrase the response.
Could even add something like, "Unfortunately we cannot please all our fans, but we hope that those fans can find a way to enjoy our game"

Whats with the salt? If you like SF , you buy a PS4 or a PC. Its the truth.
When interviews have usual PR talk , people complain about lack of honesty. When its vice versa , now people WANT PR talk? Theres literally no winning with Gaf.
He should just remain as a Toy Mascot for the entire SF V lifespan.

From the way this statement is framed, it's implying that the Xbone has a chance for a port. It will give them a false hope which does more harm than good. Your hypothetical PR statement is...not good.
That's very disingenuous.
If this game doesn't make 1 million in a week, will Yoshida be spanking Ono with a paddle.

Is this what outrage culture looks like. Getting offended at a light joke?
If there was a western developer that acts the way Ono acts they would.
Whether you agree with it or not it doesn't matter, it's how he is and why no one cares. Just like how no one takes Ben Carson serious because of his reputation.

And if it does, what will you do?
It's best if you don't think about any longer.
Hell, I don't even know why I'm here.

This answer reminds me of how Don Mattrick said about always online X1, if you want an offline console buy a 360.
Did not see this post before i made mine. But sounds like that.
Sounds more like he was laughing at the question, because it was a really stupid thing to ask.
Also, way to criticize his maturity while ignoring the fact that getting angry about such a harmless comment is itself pretty damn immature.
It's "MGS4 on 360" all over again.

Not comparable at all. Don mattricks words were more in line with Sony's get a second job. Not this
I want to know your fantasies, you intrigue me.
Yes, we are a real group and our demands must be heard.
Play Far Cry Primal if its good.
Then do so.
