Super RYU vs. KEN IV - They're still adding characters other than Ken?
 

Well now this is interesting, and I'm not entirely sure whether or not I'm down with this:

This is really going to depend on what they add, how different it actually feels and what they price it at, but I don't really want to be taken for a ride by Capcom, as much as I loved SFIV. Will be tempting though.

Gamespot have a bit of a hands on and write up: Super Street Fighter IV Impressions

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I mean really, is anyone surprised Capcom is up to its old tricks again?

Can't wait for Super Street Fighter IV TURBO.

Amusingly if we go to Super HD down the road we could one day end up with "Super Street Fighter IV Turbo Super HD Remix". :p

lol at Hakan's description.

Really CAPCOM? Really?

That the idea of bringing back T. Hawk got any traction at all is more than enough proof that Capcom and Cultural Sensitivity still haven't met. Nor should they; ridiculous cultural stereotypes are a crucial part of the Street Fighter experience. Where would we be without Peaceful Indian Who Loves Curry or Macho American Army Guy? I welcome with open arms the return of Englishman Who Is Extremely Refined and Native American Who Literally Wears War Paint And Feathers All The Time. Arab Who Loves The Fuck Out Of Some Oil fits in perfectly.

I still laughed, but alright.

Games like this just seem so unnecessary in this age of DLC. I probably would have been willing to pay up to $20 if this was just DLC, but as another standalone game I doubt I'll ever buy it unless I happen to find it for really cheap (because I doubt their definition of budget price will be anything less than $40).

I would have gladly paid for this if it was DLC even if it did take a huge chunk of hard drive but I'm not willing to pay for the same game twice just for a few characters.
I'll wait a year for a price drop if I'm still interested.

Since they haven't announced a price yet how can you really say if you'd gladly pay for it or not? Sure if they were saying it was going to be full price, but they're not. They've already said it'll be budget priced, so why not wait and see. This could be iffy, but until all the details are announced I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Christ, you people.

"I would buy it if it were DLC! But since it's a physical object in a box, I reject it with hatred and venom."

Seems to me that people are more irritated at it being a product completely separate from the original. Given that it's got more substance than the game's fist iteration and it costs less, what's the issue? Is it that people who didn't buy the first version of SFIV now have the opportunity to pick up a cheaper, better version, and somewhere deep down, those who bought the original version of the game feel deeply wronged and betrayed at being stung for being an early adopter?

Meanwhile, I can't wait to buy Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 FES (whenever that comes out oh I hope I hope). And God of War Collection is here soon as well!

Oh yes, but this means DOUBLE THE ACHIEVEMENT POINTS for said early adopters.



Like such things actually matter.

£25 for a brand new game? I'd be all over that shit in a fucking HEARTBEAT fucking hell america

Except it's not a brand new game.

that's an interesting perspective, try it down at your local Gamestop

"I should get this for the used game price"

"Why?"

"Because it's very similar to a game I already have!"

There was a reason I waited to buy SF4, and now I'm glad I did!

It would be nice to be able to brawl with SF4 owners even if you're playing SSF4. Not that I really clamor for the online element, but it would be a nice bonus.

Hence it being really fucking cheap.

I'm not sure where you're going with this.

I bet everyone complaining about this owns no less than four versions of Street Fighter II.

Less than full price!

$55 on consoles
$45 on PC

Take note, BlazBlue.

Wait wait, has there been a confirmation that SSF4 will also support the PC?

I mean they'd be idiots not to, but I've learned not to get my hopes up on these things.

Capcom's ported every one of their recent games to PC, I see no indication this will be an exception.

I can't believe they added T.Hawk. That alone all but guarantees I will hate the shit out of it.
