Super Street Fighter IV is a Bad Move for Capcom

Damn. I was looking forward to playing T. Hawk. But I'm not buying the same game again.

i'll be first in line to get it. i got so many hours out of SF4 that there's no way i'd miss 8 new characters. would i rather a $20 DLC package? sure, but i'm not going to be picky as long as i'm getting more street fighter.

Man, street fighter invented the yearly repackage.
They did that on the snes too.

Every Street fighter has seen at least 3 revisions.

Seems like we all played the beta version.
Oh well, I'm still buying it because they included Ibuki and Cody. :)

My original purchase seems to be a waste of money now seeing as how there releasing a "definitive" version with more characters and a better parry system. Capcom has really taken the piss(I'm from the u.s and can't think of a better term) out of buying their games. The worst part is is, I'm mosy likely gonna get it cause the the parry system(can't remember what it was called.) makes the game a lot more hardcore.

I figured Capcom would do this. That's why I rented SFIV. ;)

all the scrubs that are complaning are not even real street fighter fans. all u motherfukers need to stop acting like little b* tchis. I don't see ur motherfukers complaning about call of duty because every year there is always a call of duty game.

Whine, whine, whine if you liked the original. (I have spend at least 1000 hours playing SF4) then what is the problem with an upgrade in all honesty, I cant wait. Its not a full price title, even Capcom is calling it an expansion, so whats the issue. $40 dollars for an expansion of a game I have played to death seems worth it to me. This is just like playing Starcraft and then having the option to buy Brood Wars. You don't need to, but the experience will be different for the game depending on what you have.

Good thing I waited then. Still going to have to wait longer due to other games in my queue. If this costs more than $39.99 they deserve a hadouken to the nuts.

It's not that big of a deal. 40 bucks for an updated SF4 with balance changes, new fighters etc is enough for me. After 10 years since the last SF I'm glad they'll be revising and supporting SF4. I would like it to be DLC for 20 bucks just like the next guy. But I plan on getting SSF3 after spending a good amount of time on 4.

4 wasn't a beta it was merely the building blocks and foundation on which SSF4 will improve on. I expect there to be another SF4 revision after Super as well with more refinements. Just like SF3.

I'm disappointed with this I mean I still enjoy street fighter 4 but it's a little bit early for this, but I guess that's the way it is milk it.

Capcom has gotten greedy as of late. First they charge you extra for outfits that would have been included in the game had DLC never existed. Then they charge you to play multiplayer on RE5. Now they decide to re-release SFIV as Super SFIV and charge who knows how much.

Wake up...it is not the 90's anymore. People aren't going to be buying a Street Fighter every year because you tweak or add a couple of characters.

@Reibooi It doesn't matter to me don't buy it simple as that.

@tin - SF created a the fighting game scene. This isn't Halo. If you follow the competitive scene chances are you traveled to to tournaments and keep an eye on any fighting game both here in NA and in JP. Those are the ppl Capcom is targeting with this game. If you don't like it then don't buy it. The less scrubs the better.

@swingingape - This isn't the same as patching a bug in a FPS. They are reworking the fighting system and balancing the fighters. Also please tell us how you know this isn't worth it?

Everyone here sounds like those kids that petitioned Left 4 Dead 2.

I paid $80 Australian for SF4 on release day. I have already put over 100 hours into it . I'm still playing probably a total 3 or 4 hours a week .sometimes more when I get time

I'm happy to buy a completely new revision of it next year same as i was when I upgraded everytime a new snes or PS1 version came out .And I'll buy a new one the year after that if it comes out .

If you know and love the game you'll buy SSF4 with out a 2nd thought.If you just like it then you dont need to buy it

Half of the posters probably dont even play or own the game . Still it's all right if you dont want to buy it , but at least get yourself informed .

There are list of changes floating around and they are massive PLUS minimum 8 added characters with one already new one confirmed + A new online code .

Everyone that knows blazblue is hoping SSF4 will feature GGPO netcode .. basically the best netcode available for fighting games .

And if it's indeed the case like the news implies (or at least a new online code even if not GGPO) , NO IT CANT BE ON A DLC .

If you want to challenge the claim , then by all means point us to even ONE game who change its online code and engine through patching or dlc ...
You simply wont , at most you'll find light tweaks and some patch , but not a whole online overhaul .

Really please do instead of moaning and finding pitiful excuse to hate the game , just because bla bla bla "super mega street fighter 2 ++ alpha turbo"

And i'm talking about changing an entire code , not just light tweaking and upgrades ...

By all means once you've at last informed yourselves about the numerous changes and additions , please do tell if the content isnt quite comparable to the one found in actual numerical sequel of all the other fighting games ??

Take tekken 6, if feature almost the same level of changes and added content when compared to tekken 5 dr . With one major difference , an ew graphical engine .

It doesnt matter anyway , i find the complaint reeking of quite some BS when in the past , the like of sf2 championship , turbo , the various strike of SF3 , and other variation of a same title , didnt bring EIGHT new characters along with many other changes . At best half the number .

Finally please explain how you guys were going to balance the game between dlc owners and stubborn original game owners . How do you balance old Guile vs Super sf4 guile ? How do other gamers handle new fighters they dont have access to ? Do you make the old and new stuff unavailable and incompatible with the old one then ? Then what's even the point ?

How do people travel between various home and location with the game ? You wont be able to copy the dlc , and you wont go through the hassle of adding your account , then downloading it on each new console you met .. nor will you walk around with your everytime ...

Some people forget sf4 and other fighting game are massively played in local multi .

PS :

I also firmly believe that if Capcom was to go full dlc , we would be only hurting ourselves , with a big revision probably chopped down to 5-10 pieces , distributed at a really slow pace , but with a final cost exceed the frickin' upcoming disk ... wich isnt even going to be charged at full price ...

Bah i'm wasting my time whnever that topic comes up ... i only wish people not even interested in fighting games and/or sf4 would stop trying to ruin it for others .

i've notice quite a few that already stated they dont even play sf4 or gave up , and now they are like "i wont buy it!!" , who cares ? You wouldnt get it dlc or not .

Look up Starcraft, warcraft 2 and 3, world of warcraft, F.E.A.R., Half-life 2. Notice that all those games have something called expansion packs. The expansion themselves are pretty much the same as the base game, but the developers added tweak to the games system add new units or simply upgraded the game with an expanded story. Thats the same thing that is happening here. This is not the same game with a character upgrade, its all new network code, new fighters, new stages, more balance to the fight system, even new story points. It's an expansion but I guess most people here complaining are to young to remember hay-day PC gaming and what an expansion meant to your purchase.

I'm gonna buy it if it's 40 bucks since I never got SFIV. To people like me who didn't get it, this is a pretty good deal; however, to people that did buy it it's not that great.

Talk about taking one in the rear.....Capcom did you forget about DLC ??? This is why I don't buy multiplatform games . The vision was dumb down to make it happen on the xbot also .

guess they start to follow the example
given by halo 3: odst
selling expansions / DLCs at full price
since m$ and bungie succeeded
so why not try to follow them?
