Rumour: SF IV PS3 Exclusive Will Clash With MGS4 On June 12

The latest rumour to swirl around the ankles of the gaming giant that will be Street Fighter IV is that it will not only be PS3-exclusive but that its release date clash with PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid IV. SPOnG's here to crush it.

It is being suggested that Street Fighter IV will be released on June 12th, the launch date that has just been announced for Konami's stealthy shooter. It will also, like MGS4, be PS3 exclusive according to speculation. The rumour has done the rounds of a couple of French sites. Jeuxvideo.fr tells us, "We have just noticed that the editor just listed Street Fighter IV on the platform dedicated to the European press. One of the details is that the title is only announced on PS3, for the 12 June 2008." - Via Spong

hmmm i very much doubt ALL the info, especially the release date, Capcom said it will be in arcades from summer so there is no way they could possibly have it on the consoles by June 12th.

Oh and exclusive? no likely... its Capcom... mind you, their Rep said ""We haven't even announced any home console versions for the game yet" so its not completely out of the question.

Amagai Shuusuke5903d ago

Only an arcade version will be
out this summer, and as for PS3
exclusive. One word, Capcom.
Not gonna happen.

TheTwelve5903d ago

Capcom giving a good, exclusive game to the PS3? Sorry, but we Sony fans will not be so lucky anytime soon.

i think it could be a typo, SF IV Will Clash With PS3 Exclusive MGS4 On June 12

Sevir045903d ago

First off Capcom hasn't even given SF4 am arcade release date only saying that it'll be this summer and thats for Japan. With Capcom exclusives are as certain as O.J Simpson Claiming he didn't commit murder. This Is baseless as Capcom hasn't even themselves confirmed Home consoles So I call utter BS on the article and Whom ever wrote this POS needs to have their head examined thorougly.

Capcom + PS3 exclusive Street fighter 4.... LMAO!!! in a perfect world i guess

besides the fact that 360 controller is a complete failure for fighters at least in my opinion(d pad has webbed feet making it function almost like a 3rd stick and you can't really enjoy a fighter on a console playing with a stick) i doubt this is possible. Capcom really shouldnt be foolish trying to sneak their way in with mgs4. Honestly this game can go 360 exclusive for all i care, if its coming out within 2 weeks of mgs4 its not going to get any attention from me. Plus from what i have seen of SF i have been completely unimpressed. Most anticipated fighters for the yr remain as Tekken 6 and Soul Calubur 4 and thats only because of darth vader. would have been nice to use yoda too though so i'll prob rent on 360 or maybe they will be kind enough to offer a demo for both versions so i can decide if its really worth buying

UnblessedSoul5903d ago

Maybe it's Capcom trying to make it up to ps users, but it's Capcom they screw us over everyday

sonarus5903d ago

well its too late for that now. I honestly have no beef towards capcom but if they like they should feel free to offer up RE5 as an exclusive i would say that should just about make it up

RJ20005903d ago

Did i miss the memo? when did Capcom put it in my butt?

ukilnme5903d ago

I truly don't see how some PS owners feel they were screwed just because Capcom put games on another system. I don't feel that Capcom screwed me at all. DMC4 is proof that they can make a good multiplatform game without "screwing" a particular system. Anyway, believe what you must to get you through the day and help you sleep at night.

PSWii60 FTW!!!

kingme715903d ago

I think alot of PS fans are upset with Capcom making Monster Hunter 3 a Wii game. I've never played an MH in the past, so I can't comment, but that seems to be the biggest beef with Capcom.

Keowrath5903d ago

ukilnme, I'm one of the ones that feels disappointed in Capcom for moving a game to another platform. Not to any rediculous extent that I'd boycot them but I'm disappointed none the less. I was one of the Monster Hunter fans that was actually rooting for the game to go multi. The PS3 has enough good exclusives to tide it over and I was hoping more people would get to play this wonderfully addictive game by bringing it to the 360 too.

Instead, they canceled the game that could have introduced us to a High Definition Rathalos (one of the main creatures in the game) which I'm sure a lot of fans were looking forward to see. I imagine it'll use the Wii-mote well, hopefully allowing you to "act" differently with each of the weapons but if you've played the game, I can imagine this game exhausting it's audience with swinging your arms around so much!

A lot of fans think Capcom as usual took the quickest and easiest fast money making route, Which as a company who'd blame them but you and they have to realise that they're upsetting a lot of their fanbase.

ukilnme5903d ago

I understand now since you mentioned Monster Hunter 3. No reason why that should not have been a multiplatform title as well.

when i was about 7 i used to play a 2d street fighter with my uncles

Street Fighter Alpha EX on the ps1 was really good. there was a underwater guy who can use bombs. what was his name, he has blu cloth?

but now i am in a postition wer i am so ingormant and stubborn that every game sucks other than japanese rpg games and japanese games

InMyOpinion5903d ago

I remember him as Mr.Explosif(with french pronounciation). He was one of my favourite characters, along with the dude who had the baseball bat.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro51d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7251d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_51d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga51d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2351d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200051d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin51d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole51d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix51d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198951d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198951d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde314d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12314d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde314d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B314d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B314d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h314d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake314d ago (Edited 314d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar314d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
