the problem with waiting for iterations on fighting games is that if you truly want to be competitive in the online arena, you have to start from the first version. Otherwise, when super/ultra/mega-super-ultra comes out, you'll be competing against those that have months, if not years, of experience while you're just happy you kinda accidentally pulled off that ultra move regardless of whether it landed or not.

I'm the odd cat who has Ultra SFIV on Steam and has never played online :)
But I'm aware I'm the weird one here.

Given how good the training modes are in more recent fighting games, if SFV doesn't have something that at least matches Skullgirls, I'll be hugely disappointed. It'd be a big missed opportunity.

Excellent point. Capcom staff wants to play as nude Cammie so they have to release a PC because they can't make that skin for themselves since it would look sketchy. By releasing on PC and using community mods they will just look like they are "conducting community research."

But for real how is GabeN securing all these third party exclusives for Steam??
Click to expand...

I know you jest, but how I wished for valve to finance Bayo 2, not only for a game itself, but for neverending hilarity we would be living in now, and it selling more than all Bayos on all platforms combined ... just imagine that! such a missed opportunity for laughs, giggles and fun for years

When did Tomb Raider become exclusive?
Click to expand...

the Tomb Raider Holiday Special will appear next holiday season for the all in one platform, the Xbox One.

It'll come out a few months after on the PS4, when the fourth uncharted game isn't there to eat up its sales anymore.

This made the internet super mad that the sequel to a game that most people kinda-sorta-didn't-care-for they couldn't avoid purchasing as soon as they could like. It was a super dumb moment, as all exclusive-related announcements tend to be.

IDK that thread is pretty boring compared with Bayo2 announcement, there are no death treats or anything.

Oh come on who doesn't like to see folks with a severe case of Nimbyism and double standards get caught out. Death threats aren't really something to laugh at in my eyes regardless if they're serious or not.

Damn that sucks. I've seen someone stream the game and he reached the final boss, which was broken and undefeatable.
Click to expand...

Yeah the game is really buggy.
It also suffers from frame-rate issues.
Some of the bosses glitch out.
The hit-box is too tall.

It's fun, and rewarding when everything clicks, but I really should have waited a month or two for the game-breaking issues to get sorted.

I'm sure Capcom have seen the masses of internet wide debates and know first hand about the power gap so to end all the debates and such just made it a PS4 console exclusive. Suck it parity poopers

of course dead threads itself ain't funny! it's to what lengths people can go over game's exclusivity, what's funny.

It's kind of strange they announce pc for a console exclusive though, usually they just announce it on the platform they have a marketing deal with or whatever don't they?

seeing "exclusive on ps4 and pc" is fucking bizarre. Pc would usually be a hidden announcement later, not a trailer thing

I imagine they will show it off officially at PSE with a version that just says PS4, that has happened before in cases like the GTAV next gen announcement.

Yes! Glad I wasn't the only one who was so surprised to see the PC part not hidden away. It's kind of a big deal that not only are so many Japanese developers starting to embrace Steam as a platform, but they're now starting not to be as shy about it.

Now, Capcom being one to do it isn't a huge surprise, given how they've had a relatively good track record with games on Steam recently (Dead Rising 3 being the big exception). Between their good ports and the fairly frequent sales on Steam, it feels like Capcom actually values Steam as a platform.

Another shitstorm will come when SFV final graphics and screenshots begin to come out and the PC outclasses the PS4.

"Sure, your $5000 machine can get better IQ than a $400 machine"
"Pixel hunters"
"It looks the same to me"

It will be delicious.
