Capcom and Sony talk Street Fighter V exclusive partnership; box art now available

Check out the box art, as well as Capcom's and Sony's comments, on Street Fighter V.

[Majin-vegeta]

Cannot wait for this,And the fact that it's being built from the ground up for PS4 makes it even better can't wait to see what they pull off

Off topic:Did they give a release date for USF4?

[ABeastNamedTariq]

I only think they gave a window, Spring 2015 IIRC.

[Abash]

Very happy I skipped getting USF4 since I will be getting it on the PS4, knew it would come to this gen eventually. Should make the wait for Street Fighter 5 a little easier

[bouzebbal]

SFV built for PS4 from ground up is what i have been most excited for since the leak.
Amazing i cannot wait to play it.
PS4-PC cross platform is also big news!

[Army_of_Darkness]

Street fighter going exclusive alone is massive! Very excited to see what this exclusivity is capable of.

[ShinMaster]

So if Sony's is helping fund the game, I don't see why it's a such a big deal that it's exclusive. Last year Yoshinori Ono said that they didn't have the budget for a new Street Fighter game. Amd now they do.

At least the game exists now. We might have had to wait longer to see a new Street Fighter.

[indyman7777]

I have not been hyped for a street fighter for years! But this one! Man after watching that I can't wait to play as Chun li's, RYU, Ken! Hope the music is really street fighter music.

[BG11579]

I'm really split about this exclusive thing. I don't condone this kind of things, yet I find it's a good thing that they are doing cross-play between the PS4 and PC.

On one side, I think that it would be good for the game for it to be on the Xbone.
On the other side cross-play is a very good decision if you want to unify the players without distinction. And I really don't see MS permitting that with the Xbone.

This one is really a head-scratcher.

[Charybdis]

Was it built up from the ground up for the ps4 or the pc, nah I just hope they will keep the same key game play mechanics and characters and release it before 2018. Its a good console exclusive to have. In the meantime i am still waiting for tekken vs streetfighter they should have made that game exclusive for the ps4 assuming they will still release it hopefully next year 2015.

[FlameHawk]

You really think Street Fighter V, a fighting game is going have PC has as the lead platform when developing? The majority of the sales is going to come from the PS4 and Ono is handling the PS4 version(from that old pic that started the rumor) which means the main team is developing for the PS4 with the PC version just being a PS4 port.

[Charybdis]

dont know we will see in 2018 how it will sell porting to pc makes sens I agree. just hope it won't be another badly optimised pc port. I am just disappointed that it's not a 2015 game or that teken (vs.) has not also been made a ps4 exclusive...

[Spotie]

They even said during the reveal that it was built from the ground up for PS4. I mean, they literally said those words, so what is there for you to even be doubtful about?

[Charybdis]

@Spotie dont see a need to rebuild the key game play mechanics also don't hope they will do so. don't mind if the grapic engine and network stuff for cross platform play will need to be 'rebuild'

[indyman7777]

@Charybdis my bad! I meant to click the..."AGREE" dang on ketchup under my mouse!

[XtraTrstrL]

I'm not gonna lie, I feel bad for last gen and X1 gamers. I don't know how huge the fighting game fandom is nowadays, but me and my friends are huge SF fans spanning back to the arcade days of SF2(Even a little bit of SF1 for me, when it had 2 pressure sensitive wack-a-mole type buttons for punch/kicks).

I think my friend that got a Wii U cuz it has the more fun games right now, will end up upping to PS4 once this and a few 2015 blockbusters release. Though he does have a decent gaming PC. I just hope this doesn't feel like an upgraded SF4 game, I also hope they stay true to their word from years ago that SF5 will go back to being made specifically for the hardcore fighting gamers.

[medman]

Looks like it's time for me to step back into the fighting game arena...it's been quite awhile.

[Azzanation]

Would have been heaps better if it was built up on the PC.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

The box art is sexy.

[optimus]

...but lacks originality...wwe13 has the same pose with cm punk.

[llxKonanxll]

This and Guilyy Gear Xrd will be my go-to fighting games.

[KrisButtar]

So is Ultra still coming or were we trolled? I question it because V is also been announced and seems to be coming.

[Majin-vegeta]

Both :D

[KrisButtar]

The release dates must be pretty far apart from each other or they might eat into each others sales.

Kinda hope V has every SF character from the beginning onward with some newbies thrown in.

[llxKonanxll]

I don't think Sony had to pay too much to get Street Fighter V as a console exclusive. It sounds like Capcom is aware of the PlayStation 4's growth and they were eager to capitalize on it. This with cross-play with PC is a huge win for Sony.

[BigShotSmoov007]

In order for Sony to make up the difference in loss that Capcom would have gotten from Xbox One owners, I'm sure they had to pay a lot, especially with all reports of Capcom not making enough money to begin with.

[jjonez18]

Other factors that most likely lead to this:
1) Capcom's current financial position (Sony offers co-development/advertisment)
2) Cross-Platform play (MS doesn't allow this- example FFXIV)
3) Sony has a stronger presence in Asian markets (where SF sells well)
4) And yeah, like you said, +50% marketshare for new gen consoles helps too

[JimmyDM90]

Plus Capcom saves some cash since they don't have to spend the money developing it for other systems.

[silvacrest]

@jimmy from what i heard capcom didn't have any money to develop it so without sonys help SFV wouldn't of happened any time soon

[Sevir]

The game is Co developed between capcom and Sony, just like Deep Down. That's why the game is console exclusive. I'm pretty sure because of the basis and the impact of the IP, the PC was a caveat Capcom wouldn't budge on. Which is fine since Sony is also working so that PC gamers can play against PS4. In the end... Money, huge lump some of it was dumped on the doorstep to keep it off Xbox One... Much in the same way MS made sure The First Titan Fall will stay exclusively on Xbox.

[Deathdeliverer]

I think you are wrong to an extent Sevir. Titanfall was made by EA ONLY for the xbox 360 and one. That was obviously a 100% "how much will it cost us to get this exclusive" payment. Sony and Capcom are CO-producing Street Fighter V. This is what they said on stage. When the game starts it will say "Sony Computer Entertainment Presents" somewhere. Thats a lot more involvement. Resources, manpower, whatever. Like Capcom said they came to Sony about the idea first. Because Titanfall was made completely by EA with some element of exclusivity (like mass effect was) it will take constant payments to keep it exclusive.

[kingPoS]

An online cross platform fighter with pc guys, now that's an idea I wouldn't mind becoming used to. I'd like like to see more games like this. DC Universe became a real blast to play when it launched on the PS4. (until I was overwhelmed with patches & updates)

Gateway MT6706 2008

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Should have been Onimusha......."unexpecte d release" my butt.

[DarXyde]

That would've been awesome. I miss Onimusha. I was saying the same thing, actually.

[LordStig]

Bring them all back. Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe and God Hand.

[blackblades]

Or another fighting game like darkstalkers or one of there other old fighting games.

[PS3gamer4life]

I can't wait for this I loved sf3 and skipped sf4 hope this better then sf4

[Software_Lover]

You hope its better than a game you haven't played?

[Blackleg-sanji]

I tell u what it wouldnt habe been cross play if it was on xbox thats one thing to take away from this

[chrissx]

This game is a must play

[Yaay4me]

Im getting a proper arcade stick for this so i can destroy my enemies wen i go to the arcade. Lol jk but i definitely want an arcade stick for this hiduken!

[telekineticmantis]

I'm waiting to see what's new before I get all excited. Street Fighter 3 was my favorite, it had very interesting characters, oro is still my 2nd favorite characters behind Ryu, if you bring him and more back thall be great, but I wanna see what makes V so special.

[josephayal]

Glad I have both consoles so I don't miss any exclusive, Can't W8 to play this on my ps4 in full 1080P

[maniacmayhem]

Very huge blow to the Xbox One fighting community. I know I play a lot of SF 4 on the 360 as that game even now is still going strong.

No doubt that this is one IP that has long legs and just the exposure alone at fighting events is a huge plus for Sony and the PS4.

[jairusmonillas]

PS4 just Haduken the One

[LordStig]

PS4: LP, LP, → , LK, HP.

[Killzoner99]

It's nice to know SOME companies know what they're doing with their properties. This was the only way to get the best possible Street Fighter V. The power of the PS4 was no doubt what drew Capcom to Sony on this EXCLUSIVE deal. Only on Playstation baby!!!

[marloc_x]

Mmm...

Definitive PC version for me.

[GokuSolosAll]

Why does everyone think Hadoken sounds like HaDEWken? Its HaDOUGHken you retards.

[jairusmonillas]

Kame Hame HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A

[Mightyb0tt]

HAAAA CHUUU!

[Hamzaali]

OMG cant wait for this , much exited

[Predaking77]

"Throughout all of our discussions with Sony Computer Entertainment, it is clear that we share a mutual belief that the fighting genre has a huge opportunity for growth. The announcement today is just the first step, of many, in creating the next generation Street Fighter experience our fans have been asking for."

I don't think that xbox will get SF at all. Not SF5, not ultra, not mega, no Street Fighter at all.

This is a joint development between Capcom and Sony.

[slutface]

Xbox will never get future editions of SFV....Capcom came to Sony for the development of SFV.

"xbox will get the Ultra version a year later" yea sony giving capcom financial resource and then have capcom sell it to sonys competitor consoles....makes perect sense /s

[slutface]

Capcom has clearly chosen a side!!!!!

[DillyDilly]

Now watch there probably be a Street Fighter game announced for the XBOX One that the PS4 wont get in the near future

[DillyDilly]

Blah

[funkybudda]

Sony showed how to do it right when it comes to 3rd party exclusives.

Well done Sony, great awesome job smackin' right back at MS's money hat trick to score exclusives that they couldn't make themselves.

[reko]

Awesome!

[ironmonkey]

awww why you crying?.. here have a sony tissue. huge win for sony.

[qwerty676]

its funny to see such a different reaction when sony pulls the same thing microsoft did with tomb raider.

internet is a weird place.

[Lou-Cipher]

This is NOT the "same thing Microsoft did with Tomb Raider"

Sony is partially funding & Developing Street Fighter 5. Microsoft paid the developers of Tomb Raider to delay the PS4 release by a minimum of 6 months. (The difference is night and Day)

Plus

The game will turn out to be a better product, because it wont have to dumb down for the lowest common denominator. (The Xbox One)

[tman7302]

You're wrong and misinformed. Microsoft is partially funding and developing Rise of The Tomb Raider. Please research instead of putting out your assumptions.

[kevinsheeks]

I feel this super urge to support this sony is finally making power moves so i shall make a smaller power move with my wallet let's do it sony :P

[muffinbutton]

Does that mean theres a chance that "Super" Street Fight 5 has a chance since we all know its coming out a year later

[Flames76]

It's street fighter so im suppose to care why?I know sony is worried after black friday but this is pathetic.Capcom is done anyway im surprised their still around.I give them 2 more years at the most.I have bought 1 capcom game in 5 years that was resident evil 6.I wont be buying another game from them now from here on out

[Majin-vegeta]

Lol right cuz these deals just happen over night..Judging by the tone of your comment.You really do care.

[Beeker]

Sf4 sold over 6 million copies on ps3 and 360 combined

Tomb raider sold over 4 million copies on ps3 and 360 combined

So if street fighter is done what does that make tomb raider?

Edit: sony is worried after black friday? Lol thats good. wait til MS puts the price back to 400

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

@Flames76

"I have bought 1 capcom game in 5 years that was resident evil 6.I wont be buying another game from them now from here on out"

I don't think that anyone cares that you've decided to boycott Capcom.

Let me rub that salt into that wound with a Brillo Pad...

[Razuel]

I understand the deal, also makes sense to exclude Xbox while they work out the performance kinks. What I don't get is that the visuals mostly look the same but at higher resolution/textures.

Maybe there is more there, and my judgment is obscured with familiarity.
