Super Street Fighter IV gets price and release

Regardless of your feelings towards the new Street Fighter iteration coming out soon (Super Street Fighter IV), there remains a large percentage of people who are quite excited for the new game. And now those people will be able to get even more excited, due to this leaked price and release date.

I hope you can at least use your saved game from the original Street fighter 4 in this one cuz i would really be pissed if i have to unlock everything again.

[Jamescagney]

Why would you be annoyed, there's more than a few characters added?

EDIT:Our latest contest is still going, and all you have to do is get an account with the site and post a comment to one of our articles, or on the forums. This week you can win a copy of WET for the PS3. Get full details here.

Hmm, Talk about being desperate.

Street Fighter is turning into another Madden, releasing a game every year with updated rosters and minor tweaks lol.

[bruddahmanmatt]

It'll be hard for me to buy this. While it does seem like Capcom is adding a lot of content to justify a separate release I just don't like having to buy an "upgraded" copy of a game I already picked up earlier this year that'll effectively render my current copy of SFIV obsolete. It's like someone buying both Fallout 3 and Fallout 3 GOTY Edition or LBP and LBP GOTY Edition except in both of those cases players who bought the original copy of the game had the option of purchasing DLC instead of a new release. I think what sucks the most is that if I were to buy SSFIV I wouldn't be able to play online with my friends who only have the original game should they choose not to buy SSFIV meaning that I'll be swapping between SFIV and SSFIV depending on which of my friends I'm playing. I think I'm gonna have to hold off and wait for the inevitable Super Street Fighter IV Turbo that you know is coming in 2011.

Pardon me, but I feel screwed over my capcom for getting SFIV early.

[menoyou]

So... does this mean there won't be DLC? $40 for this on top of already having boughten the first SF4? RIP OFF.

[NoBias]

If you're not really into fighters, you're more likely going to come into this thread complaining and questioning. But if you're like me, you cannot wait until this comes out. And for only $40??

Hell yes.

It's great having Street Fighter back on the scene.

[d3nworth1]

It's the idea of having to fight Seth again. That dude is frustrating to the point you want to smash your controller.

[topdawg122]

Gettin this day one for sure, it sounds like they're adding enough stuff that it'll warrant a new release so I'm down. At least it's not 60$ like odst.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Why not DLC

[Jamescagney]

Because they are adding more than DLC. They do actually work on this stuff you know, it doesn't appear by magic. You are getting far more for your money than you presume.

[cemelc]

Yeah like what?

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

Like I just bought this game....maybe its me but damn can u tell me what they are doing that warrents 40 bucks...

[Baka-akaB]

Like a new online code among many other things ?

It's simple enough , no game has released dlc so far for a entire new online code , and no patches arent the same thing .

[SmokingMonkey]

one regular SF4 platinum (which i'm not a master so no SF4 plat for me)
and one SSF4 platinum?!

[Baka-akaB]

I still think that people who want this as dlc forget one essential and probable thing .

Even if it was possible , it's easy to imagine they would cut super sf4 in multiple pieces , for a total that cost more than the future disk .

[Deios]

how many characters they added?

[Baka-akaB]

At least 8 , with at least 1 new one confirmed so far and 2 old ones (t hawwk and dee jay)

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

I think i might buy..now all i gotta do is sell my old one

[Foxgod]

I hope the remaining 5 are a bunch of Final fight characters.
I really wanna see Maki and Haggar in Street fighter.

[Saaking]

Pretty good deal since I never bought SFIV. Might as well wait now.

[boc]

Man I'm sure glad I only paid $20 for the first game!

[111111]

This is geared towards the hardcore crowd. Everyone else stop bothering and go back to play their overhyped games again. Cheers.
Oh and DLC would have really pissed ME off :)

[topdawg122]

Not bad can't wait for this one and GoW3 in march

[bebojet]

I'll wait for Super Street Fighter 4 Turbo, I'm sure that's coming out next.

[Chauncy Talon]

I already got my preorder, but I took to long to post this article. :-(

[aueslander]

....and jumped to Super SF4? COme on capcom, where is your consitency here huh? j/k

and to thedude saying this is like madden...um, no, SF4 was the first fully complete sequel in like 10 years and this is oly the first upgrade if you will so 2 SF games 1 year after aother, this in no way is close to madden. If they keep doing a game a year for the next decade, then come see me but until then, STFU please.

[kornbeaner]

All these whiners, why not DLC? Because they are changing actual code to the frame of this game, that cannot be patched. Also Since when does DLC not break-up the user base of a game. I used to play CoD4, Warhawk, and Killzone 2, but DLC got released and then you had users who had DLC and those that didn't. This case is different if you have SF4 you can still play SF4 with your friends, if you have SSF4 you can play that with your friends. It's no different from swapping disc when playing MW1 or MW2. But see what happens when you or one of your friends has a DLC pack that the other doesn't have, you got the same game but now you can't play cause one of you decided not to buy a $10 map pack, yeah that seems more fair then having the ability to play with everybody for the initial investment in the game.
