Didn’t @MarkMan that they actually want backward compatibility with sticks because it’ll allow them to sell their huge backlog of sticks?
Yes Markman has gone on record saying that. Also it’s cheaper to re-use old PCB designs than design new PCBs.
Also PS4 won’t get a fightstick for a long time, expect there to be one for the first big game that comes out (nothing has been announced yet). I suppose it’s possible USF4 might, MIGHT come out on ps4 and you could see some fight sticks out next year…
thought it was confirmed no ultra for next gen?
The recent commercials for PS4 featuring taxi cab Ryu has people second guessing that.
I do believe Guilty Gear would be the newest PS4 fighting game (which is exclusive right?)
They said it’s “not planned” which is speak for “maybe we’ll make a port later”
Also, I said “might, MIGHT” so I’m not optimistic that it will go there, but I could see capcom giving two guys the go ahead to port it over the course of a year or two for “free” money.
Damn, i wasnt expecting anything different, but a break wouldve been nice. Thats one of the reasons i dont jump to be the first to own a system on launch. Only system i ever did that for was ps2 due to tekken tag. But after that, prices are ridiculous and all the bugs that come along with this. Hopefully by the time i jump onto the ps4 train, there will be some kind of converter/patch/etc that will allow certain ps3 stick to work. Or a third party pcb by toodles
Most likely, the “not planned” bit was before Sony came in with an offer of money.
If sony was bankrolling it (as all their for the player subliminal messages) then I think we’d have heard something about it…
They’re probably getting buddy buddy for like a new RE, a new old DMC or some shit
There’s already Ryu appearing on the PS4 launch advert.
Any major announcement is most likely coming later depending on how the negotiations go.
Has anybody heard anything about if Akishop’s PS360+ will eventually become PS4 compatible yet.
Just ryu doesn’t mean too much, for all our luck it might be SF versus Sony Allstars.
It was YEARS before the PS360+ was working on the ps3 and the 360. Don’t hold your breath (as this has been said hundreds of times)
I know, but I was hoping that on the 201st time it would magically happen.
This is true, but the first few years of the 360 and PS3 consoles’ releases we didn’t have a shitload of custom PCB makers like we do now.
EDIT - Warning! Rant ahead!
I don’t see an issue with PCBs being made for the PS4, as Sony has never seemed to give a shit about PCBs being made to work with their systems due to standard USB compatibility. Whether the PS4 has the same ease of USB compatibility I’m unsure of.
I do see an issue with PCBs being made for XBoxOne, as Microsoft would be quick to send a C&D or lawsuit towards those who pump them out for sale. In the case of the XBoxOne, we’ll just have to wait for Madcatz, PDP (not holding breath for this), or some other 3rd party to make a wired common ground pad we can padhack until a Chinese company starts pumping something out for the “softmodders” as Ed put it.
As a modder who really enjoys his work, I’m glad we have new consoles that will require padhacking skills, as now those of us skilled enough at our trade will have more business and we won’t have so many softmodders degrading what we do.
There is that cronus max usb converter for XB1 that is lagless and lets you use usb controller from other systems. They also are working on ps4 also. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cronus%20max retails for less than what is up on amazon.
dat third item
http://cronusmax.com/ I guess PS4 is supported now. I’m really not a fan of it being capable of macro though.
Has Cronus fixed the lag and input delay?
There has been 0 proof that cronus has fixed the lag and input delay.
The last I heard was it’s still banned from some tournaments for “fucking shit up”
Yet EVERYONE is currently losing their mind over the possibility of not buying next-gen sticks.
I can’t believe people don’t want to spend $200 on a new arcade stick so badly that they rather spend $200 on something that might not work.
Its 50 bucks. Also there was some vid on youtube showing a lag test etc. Honestly I haven’t looked too much into it but hey its there
Until it’s been tested by someone from SRKTT using the Toodles or d3v methods (literally wiring up a single button to two different sticks/PCBs), then we cannot be sure.
