Street Fighter 5 for PS4 & PC teaser trailer

PS4 doesn't have half the install base/marketshare of the Xbone

Can you confirm this? What were all the sales for? Are you just joking?

He is saying that it's not the same situation like with TR because PS4 doesn't have only 1/2 of the install base of the Xbox One.
 
Probably because that's what capcom says. Haha, those fools, believing the developer, you obviously know the real truth right?

Where is this attitude when for example an Ubisoft dev says something? Something I've noticed on gaf is that generally devs aren't to be believed unless their comments line up with ones agenda. At which point it's the indisputable truth.
 
So take this with a grain of salt but I just heard from a friend that its basically the situation with Dead Rising. Ono was asked a while ago if he was working on SF5 and he said that Street Fighter though his biggest passion at Capcom isn't getting the greenlight and that it was a miracle he got to make 4.

Sony swooped in. Funded. Now we have SF5
Same with Dead Rising relatively successful IP for Capcom but not where they want to leverage their resources.
Microsoft swoops in. Funds. Dead Rising 3.

I wouldn't put them on equal footing. One is a relatively successful IP that hasn't really sold more than 1-2m each iteration and the other is fucking Street Fighter.

This smells of paying to keep it off X1 rather than funding development.

I'm surprised you of all people are taking what a company says at face value. Especially when I seem to recall you being very sceptical of the whole "MS partly funded Titanfall" story.
Although maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
 
Good grief, the contorting people do around here to try and make themselves feel better about these kind of deals is absurd.
It's far easier to just accept that game exclusivity deals are a part of the industry you have to live with... But then you wouldn't be able to get mad when the games aren't on your console.
 
That is far from the truth , the series has been selling less every update.

Can you post that information? Most SFIV fans probably upgrade digitally rather than buying the newest retail copy. The online community is still quite large, Ultra was the most watched thing at EVO, lets not pretend Ultra was a flop and that fighting games fans lost interest in the series.
 
Resident Evil 5 seems to be their best selling game with what seems to be at least 6.7 million units sold:

Didn't all iterations of IV sell 8 million?

Didn't he litterly say that in a tweet when somebody was asking if he was working in SF5. I am sure somebody will post it.

This tweet? If so, no, he didn't.

And what source do you have besides thin air? Hell, I'd even take "I heard from s friend" at this point like the other guy...
 
They've gone and done it... they've gone and woke the sleeping dragon now.

Sony should have left well enough alone and now they're going to get it. It's not enough that they're bleeding benjamins from practically every crevice of their existence. Now they go and throw immense moneyhats at a niche game like Street Fighter just to piss off the market. Why pay to keep a game out of the hands of as many gamers as possible? Why not put that money into first-party studios and games instead?

I know, I know... this is the way the business goes as they say. Well, they forced Microsoft's hands with their early sales lead and Microsoft only responded with an NPD whooping (source: musings thread) by way of incredible deals and value. Microsoft will undoubtedly follow this announcement up with some real megatons of their own.

Gears remake collection. A true Banjo sequel. Halo 5 beta in the hands of gamers. The next Bayonetta, Dead Space and Crysis as exclusives. Those are the kinds of blockbuster response announcements I expect, and then some. You hit Microsoft with a jab, you best be ready for a flurry of uppercuts coming at you in response.
This is fantastic, this is a ff13 tier meltdown here.

The lights are on but no-ones home.

Xbone had half the install base of the PS4 when TR exclusivity was announced so it makes no sense at all is what I meant.

The only reason I question the validity to that is how could Sony possibly afford to do that. It just doesn't seem realistic. Sony's method has always been through development. They tried desperately to do it with FFXV and it didn't work out. I don't give them the benefit of the doubt because I think they are any better than MS I just don't believe they could foot the bill.

Yep. Capcom has shifted their focus away from consoles in a major way. People saying that SF5 selling 6 Million+ meaning something for whether a SF5 would exist without an exclusive partner in today's market haven't seen Capcom's shift towards the handheld/mobile/F2P model.

That's the same mindset of what I've been thinking. Had Microsoft not gave Capcom a lot of money for DeadRising 3, would we even see the game in general? No. It's the same way with this game as well as probably Deep Down.
 
:/ It's cool I guess but I was hoping for another beloved Capcom franchise to come back (Dino Crisis, true Resident Evil, Onimusha, DMC, etc.)

But MS did partly fund TF for which they had a timed exclusive window. The issue was the moneyhat made after to keep it permanently exclusive
 
I said what out loud. Nice score Sony.

Also less reason for me to buy Ultra on PC, given that they don't seem to care about fixing it.

Wonder who is going to have the cover story. Edge is out in 2 weeks.
 
Is it? How did that do in sales? Honestly asking since I didn't get it due to it coming out so late during the gen.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/...ealed-capcoms-fy2014-q2-results-presentation/

Ultra Street Fighter 4 has sold a cumulative total of over 500,000 units across all platforms, Capcom revealed in a Fiscal Year 2014 Quarter 2 (FY2014 Q2) presentation to its investors this week.

This 500,000 figure accounts for the retail editions of the game as well as "full-game download" editions, which appears to imply that the digital upgrade editions of USF4 that came out in June for PS3 and X360 were not included in the tally.

Sony is not that poor....they spend billions in R&D on numerous products.....
 
Christ another Street Fighter!? Looks like Sony needs to officially fix their arcade stick problem.

Personally this would be a dream come true if they learned anything at all from the story mode in Mortal Kombat but knowing Capcom there is no way this will happen. If anything that stupid Dead Rising 3 side thing is the most story were getting for this universe lol.

Pearl Harbour. This is too obvious to be a A* troll as 'sleeping dragon' part gives it away.

What the hell are you talking about DR2 sold 2.2 million .
The USF4 update sold 500k , hell the first SF4 only sold 3.3 million and SSF4 sold half of that .
SF is not some big IP like some people think , MH in japan sell more than SF WW.
 
Okay, while you guys are interested in just talking about what this means for the industry/your playgrounds wars at school tomorrow, I have been looking deeper.

Ryu is performing a Denjin Haoken in the trailer.

Cool! SF3 timeline confirmed. I'll be mad if they dont add parries at this point.

The greatest thing about this post is that it was his last one of the day. Like just a storm of rage engulfed him enough to type this thing up among spittle and clenched toes then as he neared the final sentence he passed out from exhaustion head laying neatly on his keyboard.

Capcom is just so damn weird. That's the biggest thing I take from all this. Capcom's just weird.
 
So if Sony is funding this, how is this different from Bayonetta 2 and Nintendo?

It's not hard to see the difference. PS4 is the market leader with a 14-15m install base. If any console exclusivity makes sense, it does for the PS4.

Denying the majority of gamers by putting games exclusively on consoles with smaller userbases is also obviously gonna cause a storm as more people are denied the game and pissed off.

Bruce Sony is not broke i mean they spending millions on making games .
Maybe the fail with FF because the asking price was to much and they had less to gain don't mean it same way with every game.
In fact it makes more sense to invest in gaming since that where they getting some money from and they can grow.
 
Anyone that doubts Capcom didn't have the money to make SFV are being naive and/or foolish. Dragon's Dogma underperformed for them, DmC underperformed, Lost Planet 3 bombed, Remember Me bombed, RE6 cost them a shitload of money to develop. Capcom took huge hits during the end of last gen.

Street Fighter and Monster Hunter were the most consistent money makers for them last gen.
