I'm really liking some of the new characters in this game. I never plumped for the DLC back on the 360 version but I'm really enjoying using Cody, Dudley, Bryan as well as Cole who wasn't available on the 360 at all. I'm really pleased with how slick and responsive the controls are, not to mention how useful the front touch screen is for mapping stuff like the 3 punch and 3 kick attacks.

I can't find anyone online, ranked or endless. Did everyone stop playing this game already? :\

I have problems getting matches depending on the time of day, late afternoon/evening is the best time for me to get ranked matches, but even that takes a minute sometimes to get a match. Endless just seems to take forever either to find a lobby or have anyone join my lobby (I'm in the UK with match settings set to "Same Area" if that makes a difference).

 

[SUPARSTARX]

I've no problems getting matches. That's weird.

 

[Gamespawn]

I set everything to any in my search criteria. Just watch out for those red connections. Worst lag ever. Most players are in the non-ranked modes playing.

 

[ss_lemonade]

Purchased and started playing. Me and my brother were a bit put off by the long initial save/loading screen and the low framerate during the menus and character select screen but once the fighting started, wow what an amazing looking game, especially for a handheld!

Question. I bought SFxT off of PSN last tues. The game works fine and everything. I went to the PS store today and it has the price on it saying I didn't buy it. I check my list and there it is. Is this some sort of error on their part, or did I get an older version of the game? The one without all the extra costumes.

 

[Shadowman16]

I've no problems getting matches. That's weird.

I'm wondering if my issue stems from the NAT settings for my Vita. Unlike the other devices on my network my Vita seems to be on "strict" settings and no matter what I try I can't change them. That might be restricting the number of people I run into online in SFxT?

 

[TheSeks]

Having mained Ryu through so many SF titles, I'm just burnt out on him

Then Ken or if you want the Glass Cannon challenge, go with Akuma.

Can someone explain why the Vita version got a 6.6 from IGN and the console versions got a 9.0? I literally threw up after reading the review on the reasons why ....

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Can someone explain why the Vita version got a 6.6 from IGN and the console versions got a 9.0? I literally threw up after reading the review on the reasons why ....

Because in all IGN's wisdom they got 2 different people to review the two versions of the game. For the Vita version they decided to use someone who openly doesn't like the game in the first place.

So they used a guy who knew he wouldn't like the game going in and proceeded to trash it.

They should have used the same guy for both. He could then say, graphics toned down a bit, load times a little bit longer and controls might take a little getting used to. However it is on a hand held.. 8/10. Or there abouts.

Thats really what should have happened.

What annoys me most about IGN reviews is they ALWAYS say graphics arnt as good as PS3 version / equivalent and mark it down for it. Its just crazy to me really. They gave golden abyss 8.5 for graphics despite it having the best graphics seen on a hand held... ever.

I take every one of their reviews with a pinch of salt these days. By the sounds of it other sites have been giving this game fairer reviews.

[Vitacat]

OK guys, I'm running a littlw slow today... please help me.

I'm still confused about what DLC I'm supposed to get for this game or not.

I bought SFxT via PSN on my Vita on 10/23 at release. I only own the Vita version.

Am I supposed to get the costume packs for free or...? Thanks.

Just a bit sour this morning in the US post hurricane Sandy.

This combined with the WRC review is why they are failing at the only thing they are paid to do.

Omega hit it on the nail. As Charles Barkley would say, "thats just turrible" ...

Ehh, it's IGN.
It's impressive how many problems their are with video game reviews, reviewers and general press in the industry currently.

I tend to avoid reviews until after I've played a game, because they can't really affect my opinion of it by that point.

 

[jimmythepage]

This game feels really non newcomer friendly, I'm sucking so hard at it, for some combos/moves it feels like you need to have excessive frame perfect timing, and most of the times I get most successful outcomings by spamming L/R +attack buttons than when I try to perform actual planned attacks.
Touch screen has been a life saver but still feel like I'm not getting better the more I play.

 

[vg260]

I hate the gem crap, but have been having fun with it too. That IGN review was garbage.

It's actually not too bad. I always felt it was user friendly with the ABC combo launches. Some combos require really good timing but I personally found SSF4 much more difficult as I never have to plink to get anything out in SFxT

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Lol at that IGN review. Not sure what to believe considering the reviewer pretty much said "i am too hardcore" for this game.

EDIT:nvm

 

[TheSeks]

What fucking voucher code for the digital download version, Capcom!? WTF!? WTF!? WTF!?

In any case good on them for fixing the issue, guess I'll be waiting until the 6th and if still isn't fixed RAGE.

I just said in the email I sent them I bought the digital version, there were no voucher codes so I don't think you have to worry. Just send them an email.

I just got my email back with the PS3 versions of the codes.

Kinda wishing I'd bought the digital version instead though for convenience. I'm realizing I really like the convenience of not switching carts.

I'm actually trying to sell my PS3 codes so I can trade in the retail version and break even, then get it digitally. I'm just gonna bite the bullet and get a memory card, especially w/ PS All Star cross-buy.

You should have all the alternate costumes for all 50 characters for the Vita.
This is comprised of SF/TK Alternate Costume Complete Pack and SF/TK DLC Costume Complete Pack or something like that.

 

[vg260]

When did you originally send the email?

Almost immediately after the blog went up.

Ok, so I'm much further down the list than you. :|
Well, it's only 2:15 on the west coast, so maybe they'll get to me today after all. I can hope.

[Slurmer]

I love being able to have this on the go. MK had started to get a little old and this is a perfect replacement (also my first digital purchase of a retail game)

 

[branny]

I just bought this digitally today after seeing the blog post, and all the DLC was thankfully fine for me.

It's a solid port with some pretty nifty Vita-exclusive features. That's really all I could ever ask for, so I'm satisfied.

I'm pretty shocked at how gorgeous it is, considering all the lighting and special effect downgrades. I'm also super happy that the audio isn't overly compressed (if even at all) because that's definitely one of SFxT's highlights for me, too.

 

[vg260]

Welp, the new DLC is messed up. The alt pack for the DLC characters that went up today is only giving the PS3 version to dl. The Vita version still showing a purchase needed. Looks like they didn't associate them correctly.

This does not bode well.
Uraizen caught this and made sure to note it in his email.
I realized I wasn't clear when I told them I was missing both the PS3 DLC characters and the Alt costume complete pack for both PS3 and Vita; I ended up forwarding my original email back to them with a new note saying exactly what I was missing.

And damn you branny; you learned from our mistakes. I hate you.

Spoiler

not really though.

All of this, plus people have such entitlement complexes these days. In all seriousness, shouldn't the Vita version have scored higher than the other versions because of all the added content AND its portability?

 

[Jinroh]

Vita VS Iphone 4S, round 1, fight!

 

[TheContact]

This looks awesome. I need to get this, I haven't played a fighting game since Tekken 5 first came out

 

[Marz]

Vita VS Iphone 4S, round 1, fight!

Iphone version looks better. Wonder why they skimped on the Vita version?

 

[Jinroh]

My answer would be something like: In less than 2 years, smartphones are going to obliterate the vita.

 

[Skyzard]

^ nonsense.

Iphone version looks better. Wonder why they skimped on the Vita version?

Sharper but not better. Pretty sure it looks a lot better on the vita too. Is it 60fps on iOS btw? Don't remember but I think 30.

 

[Jinroh]

Nonsense? You must be joking. We're talking about Iphone4S here. Iphone 5 is leagues ahead. Imagine the next generation.

And sony wants to keep the vita for what, 7-10 years? In 5 years it will feel like a gamboy color next to the actual smartphones.

The only advantage these consoles will have will be the expensive games with a better gameplay and bigger content. But in terms of hardware, it will be obsolete.

 

[TheSeks]

PSP2 compresses the hell out of the shots it screendumps. Take that in mind.

The iPhone version looks good, but that's probably because it doesn't compress.

I'd rather see an "in motion" comparison that doesn't compress shots because the PSP2 port is just the PS3 version downsized to a resolution for the portable.

I mean it should be obvious since we're talking about SF but only touch screen input for games? Most phones will never have a d-pad and face buttons, let alone dual anologues.

Hardware isn't going to jump as much as it has in the past. Game development costs are already skyrocketing i'm pretty sure we'll only see marginal improvements.

 

[not_so_special]

these photos are a bit deceiving,i have both and the vita version looks way nicer than the ios one,by a mile

keep the good fight jin roh,trolling vita threads is old hat now

 

[Jinroh]

Oh, the troll argument.

Both screenshots are on their original resolution, untouched. The game looks EXACTLY the same on the vita as on this screenshot.

The exact same orange color for the caracters skin, and the same sub-resolution that you can also find in games such as uncharted, gravity rush, mortal kombat, etc.

I expect from such an expensive console that boasted near ps3 capabilities to deliver something big. Call that trolling if you want.

sub res:

native res:

I took all these screenshots.

 

[Skyzard]

It's not native res (isn't MK?) but that's about the only thing holding it back isn't it. So way to miss the point really. And I'm sure it looks better on vita's screen and in 60fps motion.

Oh yes! Tekken 3's Yoshimitsu...oh man, might give in at £40..
