how well SF VI performs against SFV in comparison ?

solideagle273d ago

I think it will do good because it's not exclusive or on single platform anymore.

MrNinosan273d ago

Think again.
The only new platform is the one where next to none buy games.

Street Fighter V have sold 7+ million copies on PS4/PC.
A number which SFVI probably won't reach.

I think this is the fate of all fighting games going forward. Their core audience will buy the game at launch, however, the gamers who wish to casually play street fighter will jump on board when it is either lower in price or when the complete edition gets launched. They did this to themselves with all these dlc packs and season passes.

Tankbusta40273d ago

I agree, I grew up going to the arcades and playing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. However; as most of us age we just dont have the time to be competitive in fighting games...so its fun to just buy complete editions and run through the story etc. Plus as you said everyone knows that fighting games are not released in a complete state.

The Nerd Stash: "Cheaters in Street Fighter 6 ranked have become more and more common, so much so that pro players are constantly running into them."

Play on PlayStation and turn off cross play problem solved.

They need to add the option to filter out matchmaking with modern controls in online too.

jznrpg5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

If it’s online and PC it has cheaters. It was pretty bad when I quit PC gaming years ago and I’m sure it’s worse now

DivineHand1254d ago

This is why I don't play fighting games online. You are either going up against a cheater or a guy that sounds like he was there while the game was being coded. It is not a place for casual players.

This hints at continued support for the VR versions of Resident Evil.

Nerdmaster21d ago

And Capcom, being Capcom, chooses to keep the VR versions limited to certain headsets in a niche that is already small.

Babadook721d ago (Edited 21d ago )

They wouldn’t work well on Quest. Not the PlayStation versions at least. Also Sony seems to have helped fund these.

StoriedGamer20d ago

... Maybe not quest standalone due to power limitations, but you do know that all of the modern resident evil games including 2 and 3 remake (which dont have even have official VR versions) are available on PC and are arguably better in almost every way...

The porting process to VR with VR capable engines is so incredibly easy that the cost is negligible really. What's worse is having played the games on psvr and psvr2, the developers did a pretty shoddy job whereas the PC versions are better as the community tackled a lot of the issues in a matter of a few weeks...

Babadook720d ago (Edited 20d ago )

@above.

This is simply not true. Compare RE8 praydog vs the native port to psvr2. The native port is an amazing experience. You’d never want to actually play the pc mod. It’s no where near as good. The performance is not good and is nauseating.

StoriedGamer20d ago

... In what ways is it nowhere near as good? On a decent system it runs incredibly well and even better if you have something good, pushing it way beyond what you get on the psvr2. I've literally played both, and on PC it not only looks better, but runs much better overall on pc. Additionally, you get even more games than the 3 official games over both psvr and psvr2 offered by Capcom (4, 7 which is only psvr compatible, and 8).

Babadook720d ago (Edited 20d ago )

@above

It doesn't actually run better on the PC though. I've heard from many PC gamers who will flat out disagree with you. I've seen top end Nvidia cards drop to below 60 fps (no reprojection either). Hopefully you know the effect that Foveated Rendering has on VR performance.

How far did you make it in the story? If you really claim that the PC can compete on performance show me a professional reviewer who claims that who actually tested a large portion of the game. On top of the performance not being in PCs favour you've got a completely inferior level of interactivity.

Pretty sure it's because they were very well paid to do so in the past I'm sure there's a deal going because Sony sure isn't in a rush to produce games for their own headset
Plus the re games are fantastic in VR

talocaca20d ago

RE4 is absolutely stellar on PSVR2.

Hoping their next title supports it too 👏👏👏

Babadook720d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Indeed. One of the guys seemed to be a big fan of VR.

And this bit pretty confirms there're plans for more RE VR projects.

Once they wrapped up the project, they realized VR was well-suited to the franchise. While they didn’t discuss specifics, Kumazawa says they “plan to undertake more challenges in the future.”

Profchaos20d ago

Was amazing I thought re8 was also just as good to.

SmortBoie20d ago

I'd give my left nipple for an official RE2R VR mode. Praydogs was good but the real deal would be incredible.
Shame they don't seem to have any interest going back to these releases. RE7VR even already exists just tweak it and pop it on PSVR2. Nnngggg.

sammichosaurus19d ago

Gotta get some VR experience soon.
