Football Thread 2014/15 |OT9| - How the Snitch stole all the banter

jts

...hate me...
So Street Fighter V is apparently PS4 and PC only and Capcom used "The Only Moment We Are Alone" from Explosions In The Sky as the track for the teaser trailer.
I'm actually more excited by EITS being used on such a big announcement.
Really?

I love it how "we blocked some other console users from getting this previously multiplat game" is "great news" in gaming nowadays.

SFV isn't on the XB1! W000T. GOTF INNIT

Wat? It's coming to PC as well. Japanese company shifting focus on the biggest install base of hardware. How rude. And this is in no way a shit deal like the Tomb Raider one, where you leave out 90% of all players.

It's great news when it's on your console of choice. It's money hatting when it's not. #GamingGAF

I had a student who would be about 8 in western age do a speech about RVP being the best player in the world, I just shook my head in disappointment at him as I heard his rehearsal. He knows I hate that cunt.

But he did impress me afterwards with asking me if I knew Juventus. Apparently they are his favourite team in Serie A, although Roma have a good midfield.

He has been wearing a Bayern hoody and bottom this week and told me that they are European champions, but I had to correct him. His favourite team is Chelsea, and he has a ton of Neymar pictures on his iPhone.

So it seems he supports Chelsea, United, Bayern, Juventus, and Barca. Plus Argentina.

He asked me if i liked the K League, but I just laughed at him. He then rattled off some good players.

I love chatting to this kid, always good banter when he brings up who Arsenal get beaten by.

The Korean pulga.

Dat normal legit banter.

Ono said he had no budget for a nextgen title, maybe it was necessary that someone stepped in.

At least TR is more or less a confirmed temporary exclusive, so yeah, I think it beats SFV not covering as many console players as SFIV did, and SF is a much more "important" game.

It's just that there is nothing to rejoice or celebrate. In any of those deals imo. It's just the industry crumbling, so the whole fanfare around such an announcement is a travesty.

I have a PS4 and no XB1, for the record.

Seriously. It sucks. I have both consoles and the Tomb Raider deal is shit, this Street Fighter thing is shit if it's true.

You can guarantee the people who were pissing and moaning about Tomb Raider will use some mental gymnastics to defend this though and say it's not the same.

You're secretly in love with Arsenal aren't you? Everytime you post it's some rambling about how bad arsenal is here, how dumb wenger is there and now you even start posting news concerning the gunners just to go on and whine about it.

It's impressive how everytime your name pops up, it's about arsenal and how you hate them. Do you have nothing else to do? Why do you have to constantly begrudge us?

Tyrone Mings is well good

And a top bloke to boot. Read stories of him helping out feeding the homeless and the like. Good chap

Exacrly. I can understand it with a game like Bayonetta 2 where it was dead and no publisher wanted it before Nintendo stepped in to resurrect it. But bitching about one exclusive and praising another is just bollocks.

But then, this shit doesn't surprise me anymore.

The Korean pulga.

Dat normal legit banter.

student

speaks like an western 8 year old

supports 15634 different football clubs


naww that aint korean pulga, that IS pulga

hahaha

5 years in this country and I have only had two students who could chat about footy with me.

First student was amazing. Was an Arsenal fan and his age was 5 and could talk about all the invincibles despite being born after most of that team had been broken. Loved to chat about Ljungberg, and was a big fan of Ang Lee.

I will let you guys work out who is Ang Lee in Korea. And Honaldo

Welcome. I see you like the souls series. Good man.

Demon's was the best game of the last generation! Dark Souls was great but not on the same level even though the connected world was awesome. It lost this completly new feeling, the dangerous, the suspense wasn't as good as in Demon's.

Dark Souls 2 however was just more of the same without the same effort put in.

The amount of schadenfreude in that thread is something else

The difference between that and any Tomb Raider or Sunset thread tells you what you need to know about the gaming side these days

And they all continue to wonder why publishers like Ubisoft continue to do the shit they do...

If you're a fan of Demon's over Dark, you're going to love Bb.

Holy shit Street Fighter V. I could give a shit if it's exclusive or not, I'm just thrilled it's a thing.

Street Fighter V looks the same and will probably be the same as IV.
At least it's on PC for the eventual Steam sale.

thanks for the laugh

what is even more funny is the industry seems more concerned with pissing off whatever is left of the average joe last gen, who just bought a new xbox for cod and fifa, sees that fighting game he liked last time around only to discover he can't play it because of whatever, and goes back to candy crush inbetween swiping slags on tinder.

Pls. Even the 2 seconds of new footage showed a huge upgrade in visuals than compared to SF4. Look at Ryus model and how much more detailed it is, muscle animation, shaders, lighting, texture resolution, etc.

I understand the hurt feelings, but there is no moneyhatting from Sony or anything. It's a Japanese company that has only limited funds and they act based on that. Development is expensive, fanbase migration because of additional costs like arcade sticks all plays a role and of course the pretty abysmal sales numbers of the bone.

You've seen

Literally

Less than 5 seconds of the game

And you're declaring that it'll be the same as IV.

Someone in the Star Wars trailer thread said they didn't believe in the ability of the actors to sell their characters and dialogue

Based off three second glimpses f each character

With no dialogue

this is neogaf

that's what you do, no?

In all seriousness I expect Capcom to keep the IV and SFxT model of gameplay and ignore parrying again, which I find boring to watch and play.

do we know what the circumstances of SFV exclusivity are? Capcom aren't exactly making mad dollar these days. Maybe they couldn't afford 2 versions, or they went to MS and asked for a portion of that #MASSIVEWARCHEST(tm) and were denied?

it's not hurt feelings, it's the death throes of an industry where in the face of fading relevance, the only plan of action for the companies involved is to make the direct competitor less appealing.

Their latest financial report revealed some profit, so I doubt they are in problems. They just cut the huge funding costs on internal projects, meaning AAA game development at limited budget and only for IPs that sold more than 2 million units with their latest entry.

I neither see the industry dying nor a problem with a game going exclusive on consoles at this point where we have a 2.3:1 ratio in installed base of hardware.

I think it's just that Capcom already made a PS4 engine and they don't have more money to make a X1 version.
