Damn straight. Throw in Capcom Fighting Allstars and rival schools as a bonus.
I’d love to see a Warzard port atleast. Also why no xbox port for this?
It’s called CFJ…Crappy Fucking Joke.
Wrong, it’s called Mugen.
They don’t need “emulation police”. Just plain old normal “police” will be enough.
Whether you like it or not, running non-licensed software is illegal. If EVO was to run unlicensed copies of SFA3, they could face huge fines - well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per offence.
The emulators themselves are not illegal (well, most aren’t). Many of them are released under various licenses that allow free (as in gratis) distribution. The ROMs that are played on these emulators however are copyright material, and are illegal if used against the license stipulated by the copyright holder. This isn’t an “opinion”. This isn’t a case of some guy on a forum telling you what he thinks. This is US copyright law. Feel free to look it up in your local library or on the net if you like.
Again - this has little to do with whether you personally like it or not. The fact is the law is there to protect intellectual property and commercial copyrights. If you don’t like it, do something to get these laws changed LEGALLY - lobby your local member of parliament to make changes. But do be warned: when the day comes that you make a product or work for a company that makes a product, you too will be thankful for such laws that force people to pay money to own a legal instance of said product. Without it, business would crumble.
Please, apply some common sense next time you want to have a go at people who put the effort into making sure they only used licensed and legal software. I know SRK is not known for people who think before they type, but I expected a lot more from you, SNAAAAKE, based on the other posts of yours I’ve read around the net.
To those who saw the game at E3:
Is there a decent practice mode for all games in the collection? Just wondering…
The point is, if this isn’t at least 90% accurate, respected SFA3 tourneys probably won’t ever happen again, legally anyway…
The Arcade machines? you know theu still work and there are still plenty of SFA3 boards and people who know how to repair them out there.
Meh. I was planning on getting into the Alphas with this game, but I guess I won’t now. Also sometimes I don’t really feel like playing Third Strike or Super Turbo or CvS2 anymore either.
I can totally see myself just dropping Capcom games altogether.
wasn’t there some sort of amnesty in the US a couple years ago, allowing ppl to use old roms/emulators legally, for roms that are 1997 or older?
In any case, A3 doesn’t qualify 
No, there was no amnesty. This is a bizzarely common urban myth. The internet is an all-powerful place, and people seem to believe things they read on it without doing any research.
Copyright holders own copyrights. No rocket science there. Only a copyright holder my alter or re-release titles under new/modified licenses. There is no sweeping overriding law that can counter copyright laws. This is very black and white. There’s no grey area here. Break the law, and face fines or even jail time. Break the law in a public place that involves the exchange of (prize) money (ie: EVO), and face even bigger penalties.
If in doubt, go to the US Copyright website and search:
http://www.copyright.gov/
In short, any title that holds an active copyright cannot be legally played if the corresponding license states as much. Yes, copyrights can expire over time. But the copyright holder is within their rights to renew the copyright - and the vast majority of them do.
And once more, if these words offend you; if you think that it’s your “right” to have someone else’s hard work for free without paying a cent; if you think that an arcade perfect emulated port being used at EVO is indeed a basic human need like clothing, food and air, then lobby your local member and get copyright laws changed. Law needs to reflect what the people believe is right. If you think copyright law is wrong - don’t break the law. Change it to match your beliefs. But again I warn: be careful for what you wish for. One day it will be copyright law that puts food on the table for your family, and you’ll be thankful.
On topic: if Capcom can’t make a decent arcade-perfect port of their games, then vote with your wallets. Don’t buy it. Tell others not to buy it. Log onto the Capcom forums and write INTELLIGENT posts criticising the product (posts like “CAPCOM IS TEH GAYNESS” are not intelligent). Tell Capcom directly that you will buy good software, but refuse to pay money for substandard and rushed software. Capcom don’t care about your feelings. They care about your money. Speak to them in language they can understand. And if enough people do it, they will sit up and take notice.
Deep down, I hope that Capcom are smart enough to trawl large forums like these. SRK represents the average Capcom fighting game buyer, and they’d be plenty stupid to ignore it. But in the same breath, Capcom make a thousand times the cash from games like “God of War”, “Devil May Cry” and “Resident Evil” than they do from fighting fans like us. And sadly, the industry is about profits, not caring about fans. Until Street Fighter hits even their top 10 selling titles for the financial year, they simply don’t care.
Put your money where your mouths are. If this really isn’t a true arcade port, don’t buy it, and post on Capcom’s forums why you didn’t buy it.
I’m definately voting with my wallet as I already own the ‘port’ versions of the alpha games and it would be pointless re-buying them. If they’re arcade perfect though, i’m all over them.
I never really got into alpha 3 and I don’t know much about it. So did what omni say confirm that it is the acade version or that it isn’t? I’m guessing peeps will have to spend some time with it to know for sure but does it suggest a ps1 port or not? cheers.:wgrin:
It comes out in a little over a week anyway so I guess we’ll know for definate then.
I just wanted Adon’s standing forward to not whiff on crouching characters.
All i want to know is if sim is gay or good in this A3 ver.
I’d just like to add in right now for those that don’t know that, Capcom localized and published God of War in foreign territories (mainly Japan / Asia, and possibly Australia).
yall act like youre surprised.
Please, please let it have Dip Switches…

If the pictures that are floating around are true pictures of the game, then it is not a direct port. They are different.
What omni posted is evidence that it is not a direct port (but he only tested for a little bit)
It appears to not be the PSX version. But, that doesn’t mean it’s a true arcade version either. There’s so many different version of A3, who knows what this version will turn out to be like.
I’m gonna buy it anyhow, because I don’t own copies of the other games (only 1 of them) and I think it’s super convenient to have them all it one disc.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe released the Australian version.
oh I forgot that those other charcters are not included either. That’s just as disappointing too.
