Street Fighter V Beta Goes Offline Due To Pressure By Players

Capcom’s anticipated fighting game, Street Fighter V, had launched its beta phase on PS4 last night and it’s already gone offline due to the overload and pressure on the servers caused by the number of players.

[Mostafeto]

I know its a beta phase but they can't launch a game and after one day goes offline for maintenance. That is just bad.

[Gazondaily]

Well I'm just grateful that gamers are vocal now. That way Capcom will get their act together come the final release (hopefully).

[TomShoe]

Yup. At least the Beta is doing it's job. Besides, the server load won't be nearly as heavy at launch, considering the number of people with no intention to buy the game just getting into the beta for free.

[Mostafeto]

I hope so buddy but I am really worried about the game's official release now. We have seen lots of games launch with no server preparation to withstand the pressure like DriveClub for example. Captor should deliver a flawless release.

[Stsonic]

I paid for a key on eBay as I need one for analasys so let's hope it comes back soon.

[NewMonday]

this situation is exactly what a Beta is made for, the game is still way off from release so plenty of time to iron out the servers.

[bouzebbal]

Can't wait for the servers to go live again to try this beast.
I've been burning for two days to try it.

[King-u-mad]

It's a beta build, and it is under mass stress from all the people who want to play. What people fail to realize (Because they aren't in the field of designing video games. So it's understandable.) is that just because a beta build is "Playable" doesn't mean it is going to work as if it was retail ready. Nor does it mean the game is any where near close to being able handle a wide audience outside of their focus QA group. I can no doubt say that this beta is most likely the most worked on and most polished thing they have so far with everything else being extremely incomplete. So there is no need for gamers being vocal to make Capcom "get their act together". Especially on something that in the end doesn't affect them in any way shape or form other than what they subjectively think. This is a Beta Test, meant for receiving data on what works and what doesn't along with bugs and constructive feedback from a usergroup. Capcom is doing their job. Just sit idle while they continue doing their job instead of worrying about the state of the beta. It's redundant to do so. Reason being is that it is the beta build and not a representation of the final product. It is not a demo.

This is not a means to argue, just clarification of the situation for better understanding.

[spacedelete]

why didn't they have offline modes so we could still play it ? stuff like this happens and we have people begging for a online and download only future. don't make me laugh.

[Majin-vegeta]

Cuz this beta was "STRICTLY" for online testing.

[MasterCornholio]

Its a multiplayer beta not a demo of Street Fighter V.

:I

[Death]

These "beta" tests are not actually beta tests. They are part of marketing the game. Online gaming like we have today has been around on consoles since the Dreamcast. By now developers have had a fair amount of time to understand how to make an online component for games. You have to wonder why it's so difficult to roll out games over PSN. Sure, Microsoft had issues with MCC, but that was due to matchmaking 4 games with each other. Seeing how that hasn't been done before I get why there were technical hurdles. Sony doesn't even want to try with the Uncharted Collection. How is a fighting game unable to work online?

[Genuine-User]

@Death

These beta tests are actually just that, beta tests.

Developers have mentioned in the past that it's almost impossible to predict a 100% success rate in an online environment without some serious stress tests on their network.

It's not difficult to roll out games over PSN in comparison to Xbox live. Your spin with the Uncharted collection is masterful, but it won't work on many people.

You're forgetting that a beta for UC4 is included in the Uncharted Collection.

Let's have a look at some network issues on your proffered service:

Forza Horizon 2 - Can't connect to online sessions
http://forums.forzamotorspo...

Xbox live had a network issue when Titanfall launched

Halo: MCC network issues still exist

I can probably come up with a huge list.

[Death]

@Genuine,

By all means make a big list of Xbox games that are not playable online at all. I kind of doubt that everyone in the SF5 beta had router issues like the guys in the Forza thread you linked. I guess it's possible everyone just needed to tweak their routers to play SF5. Good call.

As for Naughty Dog not including multiplayer for the collection on PS4, they said they didn't want to disrupt the Uncharted 2 online players on the PS3. Makes perfect sense. http://www.gamepur.com/news...

[mhunterjr]

Why would they need to beta test the offline mode? This isn't a demo, it's a test

[xActionBasturdx]

This beta was specifically for online purposes to test out net code and workload issues on their servers

[FunAndGun]

@Death

You usually have fairly good and interesting comments so I don't understand how you could be so far off about your understanding of Betas and online multiplayer components.

@spacedelete

You are always on something ridiculous, so you are staying true to form.

[rainslacker]

@Death

Online stress tests are what these kinds of betas are for. There are other types of betas, like ones that balance game mechanics for MMO's, or ones that are used for marketing as you mention.

Stress test betas are there because it's hard to gauge how well the net code works on a large scale even if you simulate it. When you start throwing in thousands of IP's of various latency and speed, netcode can do some wonky things, and that can overload servers. The servers themselves are perfectly capable of handling millions of connections, but that doesn't mean the code will run well when connected. When they find these issues out in betas, they can then analyze the code that is causing problems because there is debugging code that is transferred to the developer.

Games that have an extensive beta process, tend to release with less net problems, so they obviously have a positive effect if used properly.

[Scatpants]

That's the point of betas.

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

this is literally what betas are for, not so much about you getting to try it out early.

[Christopher]

We sure there were multiple servers and not just one taped together or something?

*smh*

Seriously, Capcom, step up your game.

[rainslacker]

Why not? Don't many MP games release this way?

I'd rather they work this out in beta than when the game releases...because we know when the game releases the number of users will be significantly higher.

[MCTJim]

That's why its in Beta. Glad they extended it to cover the downtime.

[RosweeSon]

Exactly I don't know why this is such a big deal sure they've released, a Beta that is, this isn't the full game as that not even out until next Year!! Nearly 9 months away still a lot of people are bound to want to play this so of course there are gonna be some issues but have we paid for this?!... That's a no then, it's Free and it's not even the full game it's a taster and most importantly a Tester, if this was the full release at £40 go wild kick off all you want it's not it's a FREE beta and most importantly they've also said they will extend the Beta period due to the downtime. Why does this warrant all the moaning go play something else.
It's not like it's Assassins Creed Unity Launch day or anything is a generous preview of a game still in development and months away from release these sort of things were bound to crop up. Shame of course but it's not like it should be working later this evening or tomorrow... Oh no a whole 24 hours?! How will we survive.

[Mostafeto]

Buddy I bet we all understand this is a beta but even when a company releases a beta, it's not supposed to crash after one day. Captor should overestimate the number of players on servers before it goes live to test it first to make sure it can hold itself against the flood of players.

[spacedelete]

beta is just a pr marketing trick. this is a demo not a beta. the game is essentially finished and they aren't going to change much or anything.

[JV]

@Mostafeto a high percentage of betas tend to crash after one day.

[TwoForce]

@spacedelete Ok, trollers. Let's see what you have.

[Death]

Space Delete is actually correct.

If you have ever actually beta tested a game it isn't fun. Many components are missing and there are lots of bugs that need detecting. The public at large never "beta tests" a game. At most we have helped stress test servers so adjustments could be made for server load and games could be balanced better. For this to happen the games need to actually function.

SF5 has passed internal alpha and beta testing and was ready for the public "beta". Something had to happen between internal servers and whatever Sony is using for PSN. We seen similar issues with Driveclub where the game went from functional internally to broken to the public.

[DemonChicken]

Why are people spinning a beta test -

A beta test is what it supposed to be -

http://www.capcom-unity.com...

Not a PR trick and as expected a major issue is highlighted with the server load which means hopefully better servers on release

[Gohadouken]

You know why , it's about SFV being an exclusive or semi-exclusive this time .

So it's open season with some people caring about that instead of street fighter and fighting games as a whole .

Of course the reverse works too , with some people that couldnt care less championning it because exclusive ...

[Genuine-User]

Spacedelete and Death are absolutely correct. Beta testing is PR marketing at its finest, nothing more. These games are essentially finished, just like Halo 5 last year. Did you know that Halo 5 went gold late last year (undercover)?

/S

[rainslacker]

@Death and space

Just stop. You're ignorance on quality assurance is so apparent, even people that don't know about the game development process can tell you're making stuff up to troll.

If betas were a PR move, why not just release a limited online demo? That's what you're saying is basically being done.

I have never been in a beta where there aren't problems. The beta is essentially a step in the QA process which involved large scale testing. Even if it's not an open beta, almost every game has a closed beta...typically through outsourced companies which specialize in such things. This gathers tons of information for the developers to work out code to make sure things work properly at launch. Online stress test betas is just not something you can get without spending a lot of money on outsourcing to companies that do such things(private betas), or with a QC staff of 20-30 people(the average size of a QA team at a major developer a year before a game releases.

Stop with this marketing stuff. Betas are built into the QA process documents, spelled out exactly what they are supposed to test and achieve, when in production they will release, and what to do should things not work properly on release. There is no marketing listed in the QA roadmap, because QA is not responsible for such things, and the QA manager doesn't give a toss about that ,because they care about finding every single problem they can in the game...which is why there is friendly animosity between the QA manager/team and the engineers.

There are a lot of people on here who have worked in the QA department at developers, and every single one of them has probably seen these documents and know you are full of it.

[joab777]

It just blows my mind, and maybe someone can explain it, but why do games have such a hard time. Is it a lack of a sufficient number of servers? Is it a bandwidth issue.

Games will have betas, know their presence order count, and then still suffer on launch day.

And I know it's a mp beta, but they should allow training while it's offline. This would give us something to do while we wait, and that means less angry, impatient gamers. Just makes sense.

[rainslacker]

The servers aren't really the problem. Servers are built to handle millions of connections concurrently, and process tons of information. These servers also run more than just games, and are typically outsourced.

Most game servers nowadays are what we commonly call the cloud, and they run these games online component using the System as a Service method. This means that the system to run the server runs on the server in a virtual environment with the code that the developer creates to process and manage the data to allow the game to run it's MP mode for the end user.

The problem comes in because these games do not run on a single set of code processes that can easily be moved from one game to another.

When the game is created, the developer is required to set up what code is sent to the servers, how that information is processed, and then what is sent back to the user. Game code isn't usually efficient until after extensive testing and revision, and when it comes to code such as MP code(more commonly called netcode), these inefficiencies can not always be determined until it starts running like it would with thousands or millions of users. Even simulating the code with lots of users, which is done earlier in the process, it doesn't always return the problems that may come up, because the simulation is simply returning what should happen, not what actually does happen.

This is why beta stress tests are done. It's not done to determine if the server can handle tens of thousands or millions of connections...they already know how many connections it can handle. It's done to determine if the system of a service application on the server can handle tens of thousands or millions of instances of the net code running at once.

In this case it couldn't, so they shut it down until they can fix the problem and restart the server to try and get to code which will get to the finer details of what they want to test...those unexpected results that come from users that can't be found out with a small team of quality assurance staff.

[joeorc]

Its not the servers, ..unless there is a problem with it itself, which can indeed happen, its mainly about the quality of your code to test and simulate itself in a realtime environment per user instance. That's why there is testing of online component's separate from offline.

Two distinct different compute environments.

As Rainslacker explained it very well, its not really about the server itself in the case, its about the code being clean as it can.

[xActionBasturdx]

So people get upset because the online beta to test net code and workload and stability gets temporarily canceled to correct issues are the the same people that would have complained if the full game released with the same issues...Capcom just can't win apparently smh

Take your time Capcom we need this online done right

[ZaWarudo]

[Mostafeto]

Yep this can be the right image to describe people who gathered to play SFV Beta. Unfortunately from the looks of it, there wasn't enough food to feed all of the hamsters.

[rainslacker]

Awwww....most adorable comment ever.:)

[Majin-vegeta]

Guess SF V is more popular than people thought.I had a feeling it was bound to have problems.

[Mostafeto]

Yeah I guess. I didn't think too many people would play this beta or maybe the servers were pretty weak to begin with so even the normal number of players caused it to crash.

[spacedelete]

i don't understand how SFV's servers are different from their other servers. as far as i'm aware SF4 isn't having any problems and a good amount of people are playing that.

[Gohadouken]

When has SF4 ever used a rollback based netcode ? The only time a Capcom game did was via Port studios for remasters using a licensed GGPO netcode ...

This time it's a proprietary netcode they have to try and work upon for both pc and ps4 . Besides SF4 mostly had internal and arcade testing .. so no its not the same situation regardless of servers

[Artemus]

@spacedelete

SF4 doesn't use dedicated servers AFAIK, it uses p2p connections.

[Akuma2K]

@Majin-vegeta

I agree with you that SF5 is more popular than people thought, especially after all the "SF5 looks like SF4" mumbo jumbo.....i'm glad this happened now and not during the final release, best believe we'd be seeing a massive crowd of streetfighter gamers with pitchforks and fires in hand on their way to Capcom headquarters wanting blood....lol

[eddieistheillest]

Damn , I just woke up to play it and I read this.

[NotanotherReboot]

WOw thanks guys, I was enjoying the game......

[RosweeSon]

beta
A test period for new software or hardware.
Dictionary of Unfamiliar Words by Diagram Group Copyright © 2008 by Diagram Visual Information Limited
What this should say is a test period for New and still being worked on/unreleased software or hardware.
It's not finished yet, I certainly hope as I don't buy broken games on launch day if at all, hello assassins creed Unity.

[wannabe gamer]

online betas are meant to test network infrastructure people! not for your entertainment

[Death]

They are primarily used to market the game. The idea is we all play it and get hooked on the game and buy it. It's meant to increase word of mouth with a positive game play experience. By the time public betas hit, the game is pretty much done. Maybe you are young, but there was a time we didn't "beta" test games publically and they actually worked out of the retail box. PSN and Live are not new to developers. There should be very little surprises in store for anyone making games with online components today.

[Baka-akaB]

You're really trying hard here ...

Everything said about the game actually pointed out for a true beta , and a first for a Capcom fighting game .

It's not about figuring out PSN or XBL , it's about trying under pressure a completely new netcode , methodology and its servers .

So yeah many console games lately destroyed the meaning of beta test , and turned it into a glorified demo , but it's not the case here .

At the very least , considering that no mp game that refused to do a beta test even launched properly on any platform the past few years , and that they'll extend the duration of the beta once things are worked out , it's not such a big deal

[Death]

I'm trying hard to educate those that actually want to know how things work. There is a reason developers prefer to not talk to the community. The community always knows better than the people making games.

http://www.centercode.com/b...
"Public Betas - More so than most product types, video games often make use of the public beta format, inviting an extremely large pool of participants. Public betas are a common element of a modern video game marketing plan, and as such rely little on direct user feedback (although server performance and other generated data is often collected and evaluated)."

Actual Beta's are done under NDA. Public beta's are a marketing tool. The SF5 public beta went as bad as it can go. Instead of people talking up the game they are talking about the fact it was unplayable. If you truly believe Capcom was crossing their fingers hoping the game would actually work when they flipped the beta switch on, you are completely uninformed. The game passed internal alpha and beta testing along with closed beta testing before it hit the public.

[wannabe gamer]

lmao ive been gaming for 25+ years and alpha/beta/any kind of test you want to call it... tested more games than you a have probably played in total. i know how it works. you can spout all this jibber that you want

[Death]

Wow. 25+ years. And you tested and played more games than me. I would be more impressed if you knew me. These so called "public beta" tests are done by marketing and by the time they are done the games are too far in progress for any meaningful change. The difference between an actual beta test and public beta test is an NDA. The sad reality of public beta tests is they are marketing tools. Sorry to burst your bubble if you felt more important to the gaming industry with your countless hours of game playing.

If it makes you feel any better I remember pong when it was cutting edge tech. The first console I played was the Magnavox Odyssey, but the first console I owned was the Odyssey 2. It wasn't until 1980 my parents bought us an Atari 2600. I've got a couple gaming years under my belt too. I've also done actual under NDA beta testing. Like you said, it isn't fun.

[Baka-akaB]

Except that a select few of us actually are used to testing or got extensively involved in QA and testing , hell still do to this day ... so we know that you're mixing up half truth tainted by bias , with the rest , for the sake of whatever opinion you're pushing on the late SFV beta threads .

I very much doubt that you're trying to educate people about how it works here . You've just arbitrarily decided that it's just a marketing stunt and insist on it , and likewise arbitrarily decided on the cause for the beta's issues .

But l need to agree to disagree and just move on . Hell i just shouldnt have replied by couldnt help myself , but the buck stops there for today .

[Death]

I'm impressed that you believe this "beta" wasn't a marketing tool. I would think having to buy the game to get into this exclusive "beta test" should have tipped most people off that it was marketing driven.

[Baka-akaB]

Yeah it can only and solely be that , and you're the one with the insider's knowledge on all things betas and NDAs. Keep playing that tune /s . But good job making me come back , i guess i'm too easy .

[MCTJim]

and now we wait as the story was just updated to suspended indefinitely. That freaking blows...well maybe next week it will be back up and running.

[pompombrum]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Was only a matter of time before Hitler took an interest

[TwoForce]

I'm glad the beta become a trend. Because we need a game that be able to functional in final stage. Am I right ? Because I'm looking at you, BrokenField 4 aka Battlefield 4.

[Loadedklip]

Ah man ... I really wanted to try the game out. Oh well. Guess I will try the beta whenever it is up and running.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

It is a beta...so there is that but I would have thought Capcom would be prepared for the amount of players but lets hope they get things back on track quickly.

[Goose99]

This really sucks. I took the day off to play this. I don't care that this is a Beta. The real truth is Sony better get their act together with PSN and how users can overwhelm or take it down due to heavy traffic.... Screw that...come on Sony!

[Baka-akaB]

I agree that Sony needs to upgrade PSN , but what you said got nothing to do with it , and made no sense here . No other game or psn service was even affected by the traffic for the SFV beta and whatever happened with it ..

[Majin-vegeta]

Jeezus christ some of you people are unbelievably_____________

https://blackjeezus.files.w...

This has nothing to do with PSN.

[Xbonewone32015]

Bad servers.

The ps4 has only sold 20m units.

If a game can't handle 20m players, it is bad servers.

Nothing else.

Imagine when the ps4 has 100m units sold and only 10% of players can log on.....

[Death]

I don't think the issue has anything to do with the servers. It has to be something between internal development and the way it's moved to or accessed by PSN. Driveclub had similar issues which is odd since it was a first party game. If a game works internally, but not externally it has to be something in between. The network was working fine for all other games so we know it wasn't PSN. Surely the game passed internal testing at Capcom. What is left?

[takohma]

Kind of pissed now. Thinking about canceling my preorder because of this "free beta". Couldn't even get one match in. Just one. Just to get a feel of the game. I'll get it on sale now. People will be playing this game to years based off of sf4.

Edit: by quoting free I meant I had to preorder the game on psn which means I paid full price for the game. Even if I went to gamestop or best buy I would still have to put money down to play a "beta". Maybe other countries got it for free but in America we had to pay something. Unless Amazon lets you preorder without money down then there's no other way then to pay to get into it

[Gohadouken]

You paid for the game , albeit in advance for a bonus . And if you didnt want to pay anything , you could have just signed up for the eu beta , just without any surefire way to get it . Or wait for détails for other upcoming beta phases

Besides you'll get to play it eventually . Isnt it obvious by now that they'll extend it based on the issues we met ?

It's aggravating as i could only play 15-20 mins in training so far , but cancelling a purchase for a game that supposedly interest me , would feel silly at this point

[takohma]

Eh I have no idea how to make an EU account. I thought you needed an address and a billing address? And where/who stated the beta will be extended. I haven't seen an official scource from Capcom saying that. It's ok to assume. I'm just bummed out because of it. I haven't been excited for a game in a long time. I mainly play fighting games and this street fighter seemed like they finally did the characters all justice so I was so excited all day at work waiting to get out to play. I don't consider it silly to cancel a purchase on a game especially one that will have a long life ahead of it.

[Gohadouken]

Not really , it's as easy as making a japanese accounts ... goggle a tutorial .

And ... well the article you are commenting have an update and statement from capcom UK , Ono and other capcom employee stated it in other articles ... pretty much everyone updated official statement about the beta being extended , before they even decided to suspend it , and officially confirm again that they'll extend the beta based on downtime .

And yes it feels silly to me , to knee jerk cancel it so soon , for something you'll gain access for eventually . And you mainly play fighting games like i do , so when has capcom been crap for netcode ? Never really , at worst they delivered a standard experience , unlike some studios . That should buy them some leeway , but it's your choice ...

[takohma]

How is it silly to cancel a preorder when I know people will be playing this game for years? It's not like it has a short life span. And I remember when sf4 wasn't very good online. Most fighting games take a bit of time to get the net code right. I'll eventually get the game. But since I can't even enjoy a small portion of it my money can go to other games for the time being. I feel like if they really wanted to stress test the servers then they shouldn't of made people preorder it to get in. Would of been more people playing to really see how good their servers are.

From the begging get all I did was express how I felt about the situation. How people can disagree with another persons feelings is beyond me. Just a little pissed. I'm not going around blasting Capcom saying they're horrible. Lol

[Gohadouken]

How ? by feeling simply differently ? Never said you were blasting anything , nor was i attacking you .

And besides , i'm not preventing anything here . You purchased with beta access in mind , and you'll still get it if patient for a few days at worst . I don't see what's cancelling or reselling it is going to do here for you , in this instance .

But again your choice .

[Deathdeliverer]

Well I got in 30 minutes last night split between Ryu and Nash. Today I was on almost 2hrs before disconnecting from servers. I played one online match which ran smooth as butter vs a guy that was level 3 so he had a lot more luck than me at that point but I still got him. Game is great. While I wanted to play more obviously, I got in over an hour and a half of Nash action which should tide me over. This game IS NOT about combos. I have a stable 15 hit combo with Nash that I can hit consistently which ends at about 315 DMG. This includes 2 EX attacks. To put that in perspective I did a Basic J. Fierce, crouch mp, EX scythe. That did 280 or more dmg. This, like I said before, brings things back to how Street Fighter was. Footsies, making openings, and short combos. BTW, in the training mode options theres no way to turn on the DMG-Stun-Scaling info pop up. I turned it on on accident by turning the training dummy action to jump. Then the info pop up appeared. Turned off dummy action and it stayed on the screen. That also helped me realize something else. As you land combos or successive hits theres combo dmg scaling obviously. Thing is, if you land a combo the next hits you land still have scaling and scale down even more if you continue to land hits or pokes. This is great because if someone does find a way to get you in a 50/50 situation you start to take less and less dmg which in turn gives you more time (life) to figure it out and escape. I think thats great. Also to further show how big combos arent the way to play, with Ryu I did J.RH,C.Fierce,short Tatsu, EX DP. That Dmg Is at about 358. Wayyyy more than anything I did with Nash. I did ended a combo with EX Tatsu which gives more hits, but due to scaling does far less dmg. Gotta get to work but damn I love the game and I hope its sorted by the time I get off tonight. Its worth the wait. Theres also a little graph that shows your play style with each character and its individualy tracked. So is your level per character.

[Baka-akaB]

You also can pretty much link f.HP after a crush counter standing HK , leading up to massive dmgs.

CC St.Hk, f.HP, cr.HP, LK.tatsu, super

Or even replacing LK.tatsu with EX tatsu, EX hado, EX DP in the corner.

And Nash seems more combo oriented actually than some of the available cast , with stuff like cancelling command throw into combos .

The game currently seems to also rely on many Target combos instead of links , so more changes are probably bound to come for fine tuning and the perfect balance . Even if one frame links seems like a thing of the past .

The nash target at least are really efficient , except they whiff quite a lot probably on purpose , and he got quitea few links too . They werent kidding when they described him as a more "advanced" character in the panel

[-Lawless-]

People are really stressing off the beta? Capcom released statements saying it was primarily a Network test. I haven't even been able to log in to play and I'm not as bothered as some of you.

Don't really care about the beta being this way as I pre-ordered from Gamestop (ugh) and I can always cancel and get my money back, BUT what matters to me isn't how the beta fairs as if things aren't woking at least it is serving it's purpose, but if the full game releases and those hiccups are still a thing...gonna be real upset.

This isn't some month or two before release anyway where nothing can really be addressed like some people do. Game is releasing Feb. 2016, they've got lots of time to hammer these issues out.

[corroios]

Street Fighter V is gonna be huge and gamers are really pump about it!!! Not surprise about going down...

[Hold_It]

This is the whole point of the beta. I don't understand why people are complaning. It's meant to be a network test, so the netcode can be optimized by launch.

[sovkhan]

If by now people don't get what is a beta for!!! Then it's hopeless.

[deester]

why are people upset it is psn for goodness sake if it was live it would be up and rolling

[parentsbasement]

take it down , reroute some Ethernet cords , and put it back up....no biggie....

[WarpCouch]

All I saw trying to log in...

[CantBeStopped]

This is what betas are for, now please carry on incorrectly blaming PSN as usual.

[metalgod88]

I know right. The whole point is to stress test the system. What do these people expect? The game to work perfectly in an unfinished state? ..come on now.

[FreddyFazbear]

Xbox trolls really blame psn for this? Wow
