I know I have posted alot of these threads in the last week or so but I am almost sure this will be the last one.
As some of you may remember I find myself torn between the PS3 and 360 versions of SF4, the deciding factor being the quality of the online play.
I am intending to get the PS3 version since I already have the console, play it for a month and then if I feel I am going to play the game enough to justify it, get a 360 for my birthday in march.
Pad/stick wise I have all the 360 stuff preordered (all of it lol) and I am loathed to give up those pre orders just in case. For the PS3 I already have a Hori Virtua Stick high grade. My knowledge of the various sticks is iffy at best but as far as I know the High Grade is basically a Real Arcade Pro, which is about as good as a hori sticks gets.
I have never really had the chance to give it a proper test drive but I assume it would serve to at least give me a taster of the game for that first month?
I would be interested in picking a fight pad for ps3 as well. Does anyone know if the UK has any left anywhere? Gameseek are still taking pre orders but since they are also taking order for the TE sticks as well im not sure that actually means they have any left.
Any advice would be really welcome and im sorry to bother you all with this again
Not too sure what you are asking but the VSHG stick you have should give you a good arcade experience since it uses sanwa parts. As for online play, I can’t really say since the game isn’t out but I would pick the one where you have most friends that’ll play the game. If you really can’t decide then just get everything lol.
Thats a fair point I was waffleing a little lol. That answered my first question fine, the High Grade will do for now at least.
The second question was are PS3 fight pads still availble in the UK, and does Gameseek actually have the stock it claims? Nothing, even the TE sticks are showing as being unavailable and that makes me a little worried.
The pads should be. They are the only thing our local Gamestation are getting in - they may get one or two sticks, but just the regular ones, not TE.
I was undecided between 360 and PS3, but since SF4 would be the only 360 game I would play online, Im going for the PS3 version instead - it wont cost me a fiver a month that way
I’m playing on the PS3. Now, considering you actually have to pay for networking service on the 360, I’d assume you better have a better online experience. But who knows. Only time will tell.
I would go ahead and replace that pcb in the VSHG with a cthulhu. That pcb has been plagued with so many issues your just better off getting rid of it. If you don’t feel like spending the extra cash on a 360 stick you could dual pcb a Madcatz pad with the cthulhu so you have a stick for both systems.
