Street Fighter 4: 1.5? What Can We Expect?

Gary @ gamingvice.net writes:

"The answer to that question would be nothing concrete just yet but the possibility of a Street Fighter 4 1.5 are pretty high when you take into account not only recent information taken from a Japanese Q and A blog, but the history of the Street Fighter series. With the exception of the first game, Street Fighter titles are usually re-released with upgrades, new characters, and rebalancing of the characters so that no one character is too broken, the first outing usually sees the worst balancing until about the 3rd version of the game."

They fix balance since SFIV is imbalanced.

Hail Guilty Gears, Last one on PSP is the most balanced and best 2D Fighting game (GGAccentCore Plus)

BlazBlue is coming out soon D: its by company of GG and said its Spiritual succor of GG. In China and Japan people are going gaga over BlazBlue on arcades, during 2 month timeframe BlazBlue took top spot at arcades japan event over Tekken 6 and SF IV

yeah im waiting on this game the 30th came come enough. I'll try 2 add u 2 my psn so we can play each other. People complain about 12 characters but atleast they all unique and different not the same type of moves.

ChampIDC5460d ago

SF4 isn't too bad in terms of balance compared to some fighters, but it definitely needs some tweaks here and there.

I'm also very much looking forward to BlazBlue.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations

Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."

This is the issue with things like this

Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console

However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.

So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.

The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell

I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.

I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...

Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."

Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.

I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.

Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?

Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.

Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.

If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.

“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“

Another “creative decision” right? 🤦‍♂️
