Am I the only one who’s more hyped for this then sf4? I know the home port will be great and all but st is the best fighting game ever imo and a brand new sf2 game is the best thing I could ask for in a fighting games. ’
December release sounds likely because releasing in january is way too close to sf4.
^^I’m definitely looking forward to HDR more than SFIV.
But I don’t like the fact that the 2 games are being released so close to each other. They should have been released much farther apart, at least 6 months apart.
As it is now, they’re about 3 months apart. Assuming HDR comes out in Dec at the latest and SFIV releases in Mar at the earliest (all assumptions and guesses).
That’s gonna destroy HDR’s hype quite a lot.
HDR was announced too early in development and then delayed during production but SFIV was announced late in development and seems to have been completed earlier than estimated.
Plus SFIV had a larger amount of developers working on it, I’m guessing maybe 5 times as much, which contributed to the quick release.
Again, no facts here, just my guesses and speculation.
Ah well, whatcha gonna do? = D
SF4 and HD are not competing, they’re complimentary games. If anything SF4 would add more sales to HDR. I think if anything Capcom is trying to get the release dates between the 2 games as reasonably close as possible.
No! Your not. I literally played 5 games of SF4 in San Fran, the rest of the time was all HDR. Not that I won’t get SF4 but I’m pretty sure HDR will be the game i’ll always come back to. And I know there are a bunch of peeps that feel the same way that are still playing the beta…
Nope, maybe if they showed Fei Long in SFIV things maybe different lol.
Capcom really need to do the game justice make sure people realize it is more than just a new lick of paint. I do believe sales will be impacted, predicting a huge spike as everyone trys to get asmuch SF as possible then a big drop when people choose the 3D 60fps OMGZ its Gouken vs Akuma!! SFIV.
Dropping a match is not a violation of the ToS, they will never ever get banned for that.
Should they receive something negative? Maybe, but I don’t know how effective it actually is in preventing people from dropping matches.
Usually most XBLA titles receive a huge spike of sales during its initial week of sales and then drops off immediately afterwards. If you’re saying that people will stop playing SFHD once SF4 comes out, then it won’t matter to Capcom that much because they already made money from the initial sales.
If Capcom were smart, they’d include a lot of promotional stuff for SFHD once SF4 is released to induce another spike of sales for the XBLA title a few months after SFHD is released.
Sorry, but i didn’t ask in months and I was wondering if the console version of sf4 was going to come out before this game.:looney::looney:
LOL we should take bets on which game comes out first! :lol:
Real talk, i’m serious about this man, because I know if this game comes out after sf4 I prolly won’t get it right away. I’ll be too busy playing and learning sf4.:karate: Since you guy’s in texas will have atleast a 6 month head start on me. I hope it will be out atleast 2 weeks before FRXII so I won’t be a complete combo dummy at final round.:wasted::wasted:
:karate:
…gotta’ love Texas.:encore:
…on a serious note, though, if SFIV does indeed come out before SFHD, I’d probably do the same thing as you if I were in your shoes.
The thing that is needed is for avoid player to avoid a player. You shouldn’t have to play people you don’t like.
If you’re a douche good luck finding games.
if SFIV was named SFII: EX or something like that, the whole game would not
even receive half the attention it’s getting now. 90% of the people planning
on getting it are doing so because of the “IV” on the title, and the other 10% for the graphics, that’s all.
gameplay wise, many who went to play the arcade version agree it doesn’t hold a candle to Super Turbo, Alpha 3 and Third Strike
Who are these many?
LOL… thanks for the laugh
Of all the times to be out of popcorn.
So we’re talking about Street Fighter IV again.
So it seems the HDR thread is about 4 things:
-complaining about the hype has died because they’ve gone 30 seconds without news
-arguing about the pricing for 453748097th time
-complaining how SFIV is going to kill HDR
-giving Capcom business advice
I can’t be the only one who’s disappointed when there’s new posts, hoping that there’s new news, only to find that the only news is that there’s a different dead horse being beat on.
I wonder how many 30 second intervals we’ve gone without news? Quite a few, is my guess.
The most important thing that matters is if the looser who drops out right before the match ends, then the dropper should automatically get a loss in their ranking and the other player gets a win!
I don’t want another bullshit SC4 dropping frenzy!
SS2 did it perfectly with looser dropouts, why not SSF2THD!
SS2 has problems as well- namely allowing Kuroko in ranked…
