I could understand people screaming for it to be free if all it was is some balance tweaking and maybe a couple new characters/costumes/whatever… but at this point it seems like it’ll be so much more than what a normal DLC package offers (EIGHT new characters? [given rumors are true]).
They did say it wouldnt cost full price, and they’ll charge for it more like an upgrade, so my guess is 40$, which at this point, even with just what ive seen, will be worth it (i might pay 40 for dee jay alone)
He buys ea shit every year, he shouldn’t be talking.
Oh just an added point, if it is released cheaper that needs to be worldwide, no pulling a Test Drive Unlimited and releasing it at a budget price in the US then screwing over Europe with the full price.
This article was great. This was everything I was thinking about the ignorant idiots on gamefaqs/kotaku forums. Really, Capcom is doing us all a favor by putting it out on a new disc instead of DLC. It will cost them MORE MONEY to put it out on new discs (cost of packaging/DVDs/shipping) than making it a download. Also, if they are having to mess with a ton of code, I’d rather have them make it available on disc so it doesn’t F up anything. If the large amount of code correcting with an issue like they say it is, putting out a DLC would actually be the lazy/tacky thing to do in this situation.
Just imagine if you were that consumer who’s never really got into fighting games and you bought SF4, then realized that everybody else was playing it with an expansion pack you didn’t even know of cause they didn’t sell it in stores and now you have to shell out another 30-40 bucks and wait an hour to download it. That’d suck.
Also, Warcraft 3’s expansion rebalanced the game and added new heros but not too much else and it TOTALLY changed the way the game was played. Everyone here knows that rebalancing SF4 will do that but I’m just giving an example of another game that already did something similar.
5/5, 10/10 and 100/100 article… well said.
You should fire back with:
“I play a game where I uppercut guys while my fist is on fire.”
“You play a game where dude’s cup their hands behind other dude’s asses, waiting for them to drop a ball. Then, when everyone gangs up on each other in a big pile, they smack each other’s ass cheeks in celebration.”
Not rumour. Ono said they were aiming for 8 depending on time/whatever so it’s probably going to be around 6-9 (incase it takes extra time for some unforseen reason or one of them just slaps toghether and is balanced by some miracle).
at OP:
Yea it was a pretty funny article, although I haven’t seen nearly as many people complaining about it compared to L4D2, so it wasn’t really all that necessary.
Regardless, as long as they announce a PC version (hopefully soon :sad:) I’m stoked.
I thought the article was bashing SSFIV but nope it is not. It is about the complainers of SSFIV. Good Read.
Someone ask that guy to write an article about not whining about an arcade release =P
It’s not enough for a new number, A new number = Different Graphics/Art Style, Engine, etc.
They did the right thing by calling it “Super” Street Fighter 4, Think of the jump from SF2 to SSF2
They also did the right thing by putting this on a Disc and not charging full price for it but people need to STFU about it being $20 or $30, I don’t see it going for less then $40 and I wouldn’t be shocked if it sold for $50…Truth be told I would have no problem forking over $60 for it.
Capcom made all the right moves this time and if SSF4 does well, I can see a Street Fighter V by 2012.
Remember the days when “Street Fighter IV” was just a joke?, that shit would never happen they used to say…and now we’re looking at a Super Street Fighter IV only a year after OG SF4?!?
Haters need to shut the fuck up, this might be the last of it.
Agreed. 10/10
Don’t know why people ever even dreamed that they would get SSF4 free as DLC.
Man up, spend them dollars. I’d pay full price for SSF4, its like not wanting to pay for 3rd strike after playing 2nd Impact. Almost completley different game.
Pure Win
:tup: Thanks for the laugh. Can’t wait to get my hands on SSF4.
Good shit. I’ll be saving that link and using it as a simple response to any threads bitching about SSFIV. :lovin:
only stupid move capcom has made with SF4 regarding $$$ was charging for the alt. costumes that were already on the disc.
For SSF4 like already said, I would have no problem the full $60 because it seems (and hopefully will be) like they’re doing some major changes to the base game.
And I’ve definately got my $60s worth out of SF4, just like COD4 and Fallout 3.
It’s funny how people are complaining about paying as if this never happened before. I remember buying three versions of Street Fighter II back on the SNES, including SSF2T. This isn’t the first time it’s happened, and I’m not complaining now either.
The part in the article about how people never complain about the release of a new Madden every year pretty much summed up my feelings on the matter. I for one, am really excited and will happily drop money again to get SSf4.
Maybe the only prob I have is the price of alternate costumes. Could be cheaper, but meh.
Good article. Very maddox-esque, with some things people need to hear. If there’s on thing I’ve learned though, its that some people will just never be happy.
I’m happy with a new disc, DLC, paid DLC, fuck, just give me ssf4.
haha Topher is a funny dood, I like him on the podcasts.
whitneeeeeeey~!!!
Not really…alot of people bought them anyway.
lmao
