Street Fighter IV for the PS4 is a Pile of Garbage

Street Fighter's newest version is a broken mess.

[nicksetzer1]

Menus and sound I could care less about, but the input lag and random frame skipping during matches is insane. Played at a buddies house last night (not much of a fighting guy so didn't buy personally) and it really was unplayable, and I mainly button mash. I couldn't imagine how frustating it would be for the pros who very precisely plan each button press.

Cannot imagine this version being used for the e-sports games. Not sure whether the short deadline was the issue or bad choice of dev, but it is pretty bad.

I hoghly doubt the full repease of SFV will have any issues as it is being done by capcom. As long as they aren't rushed they have always put out excellence when it comes to fighting games.

[pwnsause_returns]

Either way, it isnt acceptable. Im sure it will get patched, but thats not the point. You cant just release a game the feels broken, let alone, a game that came out back in 2009

We are allowing these companies to think of profits ahead of quality, and it just doesnt work that way. All of these issues should of been fixed before release.

[s8anicslayer]

We've trusted these AAA companies in the past but from what they're putting out is atrocious and some of these games are unplayable and it's gotten out of hand

[pwnsause_returns]

hell, not only that, it costs us HDD space... Everytime you patch a game, its like a hefty 1-2gb patch... stuff like this should be pressed onto the disc before release.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

Hey at least it will probably get a patch. Saints Row IV on PS4 is still buggy as hell with random complete crashes from time to time yet not even a single patch has ever been released. I'm glad Sony gave us a option to send messages to them when the game crashes because it let's me send jokes about how buggy the game is all the time. Don't even get me started on the condition LittleBigPlanet 3 was at launch and still is online.

[badz149]

CAPCOM and their incompetence of developing current gen games. remember Dead Rising 3 with its 13GB patch?

seriously, when they said they are gonna put more focus on remasters, can't they at least get their coding skills up to standard first? looks like, it's going to be a long gen for Capcom.

kinda worried about Deep Down now although that project has Sony Japan helping with it.

@s8tanicslayer

I wouldn't call Other Ocean Interactive a AAA company. I am, however, looking up their email address so I can send a link to this article to them, Capcom and Sony.

That said, I do still agree with your comment. It has been kind of ridiculous this generation.

[Relientk77]

Way to go Other Ocean Interactive

[bOObies]

Just play DOA or MK till they fix this, they are both amazing and better than people expected. For the most part fighting games are doing quite well right now

[RAM0N]

Yep I'm playing mkx sfv will be the next fighting game i will be buying

[dcj0524]

Yeah I was never really into fighting games. But Guilty Gear was on sale, then Dead or Alive LR came out so I bought that, then MKX came out and before you know it my limited gaming time is full of fighting games.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Well DOA has always been crappy to me, and the stop n go combat mechanics in Mortal Kombat was never really my style. So I'm pretty much screwed.

[Rookie_Monster]

It is all a plan. Capcom will come up with a Hyper Ultra Turbo edition to fix the lag in a few months. People need to relax.

[trickman888]

lol

[mokkeyrg2]

i dont know how sony could accept this thats a joke.

[memots]

Exactly, Where is the QA ?
wasnt there any tester work on this?

[weirdo]

i'm still enjoying it despite the bugs, hopefully a patch will rectify the problems soon

[FallenAngel1984]

Who developed this, Sony or Capcom?

[holysmokesbatman]

Other ocean handled the port, their track record isn't that great.
Cap com and Sony should have both done better with quality control though.

[FallenAngel1984]

Either Sony or Capcom should've told them "I'm not shoryuken handle the task"

[ZaWarudo]

I read the title in Dracula's voice.

[StrayaKNT]

And this is why ki is the juggernaut fighting game. How can a game have so many issues.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Ki is not "the juggernaut fighting game." It's just Ki. This specific version of the game is what has issues, but only an idiot would even allude to this defining Street Fighter, which has been at the top of the fighting genre for 20 something years.

[StrayaKNT]

Maybe because theres been about 16 different releases of this game, even more than cod. If you look at a professional ki match next to a professional sf match you will know which one the juggernaut is dude sf is laughable in tournaments.

[Germany7]

Dude, it's just AussieGamer, there is no point arguing with him.
See? He compared Street Fighter with COD, he can't be serious, at least i hope so.

[Sonyslave3]

Ki is the bomb loving the new trailer for Aria .

[Revengeance]

Lol this guy thinking KI is a better fighting game. Two reasons why he thinks KI is better:

1. He's trash at SF
2. KI is an Xbone exclusive.

SF takes WAY more skill to play than KI.

[Kingdomcome247]

I prefer Street Fighter, though I'm not all that into fighting games that much anymore. Killer Instinct is actually really dang good, though. I'd ignore Aussie though, as everything he types is rooted in an extreme Xbox bias.

[chrisco84au]

How long until Aussiegamer is down to one bubble.
I can handle one of his complete fanboy laden keyboard smashing posts (mainly for the great replies) per topic but 2 is pushing it.

I have hope for you my Aussie friend. Maybe when puberty hits you shall produce a single worthwhile post.

Maybe.....

OT - this sucks. I was looking forward to this after really getting into MKX hopefully a patch is not too far away.
I guess this is the norm this gen.

[Magicite]

NOBODY cares about KI, its DOA.

[Kingdomcome247]

You mustn't have heard about the recent incredibly quick funding of Killer Instinct tournaments, that were completely funded by the KI community. Sounds like there's still a lot of interest to me, and I'm sure that season 3 is set to be announced soon at E3.

[KryptoniteTail]

It's not that bad. Sloppy though.

[PurpHerbison]

Online is actually better than it was on PS3. Yellow bars coast to coast are playable where as the PS3 version was throwing lag spikes at you each and every way.

[Sonyslave3]

Don't blame Capcom Sony is the one responsible for this mess they are the publisher.

[silvacrest]

its still capcoms game if you want to play the blame game.

the real guys at fault are the porters, other ocean have a bad record already but could have redeemed themselves with a decent port but....no

[triple_c]

Capcom releases another crappy, buggy, unoptimized PS4 port. First it was DMC then it was RE Revelations 2 and now this. I'm not even surprised at this point..

[Tetsdah]

Lol, it's actually not Capcom. It's Other Ocean that did the port, which was a terrible choice by Sony, proven at this moment. Hopefully this gets rectified soon.

[DaGodKing]

capcom strikes again....lol

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

Ultra street fighter 4:broken edition.

[nigelp520]

Rather Namco port Tekken Revolution to PS4

[PurpHerbison]

Don't remind me of that game. It should of totally been a real game with a price tag. Forever salty with the F2P decision. Game has mad potential.

[ilikepizza]

no one cares about street fighter,mortal kombat and k.i is all the rage. You know games that actually bring something new to the table. Not the same rehashed crap. Last good capcom fighting game was marvel vs cap 2

[gamertk421]

Lol
