This just in "Disgruntled Europeans cry out in agony after months of waiting, when they found out they'll receive SSFIITHDR mere hours before the midnight launch of SFIV."

TheTwelve5542d ago

I'm REALLY sorry about this...really. This is an insult. You get SFHD on the same day SFIV comes out? This some kind of joke? I viewed SFHD as a warm-up for SFIV.

Capcom failed you guys this time around, and as a big SF fan, I would be VERY pissed by this.

The Street Fighter II HD remix was a great idea because it updated one of my favourite classic games with some new graphics. Like theTwelve says, it was a great way to warm-up/ create interest for SF IV. But UK/Europe didn't get it. I did play the demo on Xbox Live and loved it, but for fighting games I prefer the PS d-pad so I decided to wait...

..and what has happened? Capcom release SFII the day before the official release of SF IV. I actually received my copy of SF IV through the post today. I've been playing it. I love it. It looks beautiful. I just don't see myself paying for this older version now. I think Capcom & SCEE have missed out on a lot of sales. The people who were going to be buying this are most likely playing Street Fighter IV. Which I recommend to everyone - but the people I played online are too good!

pain777pas5542d ago

I feel bad they get this game now, however I still recommend getting both this and the ce SF4 edition. The movie was pretty good and the game is great. I still like HD remix too so I say get both if only one SF4 is new yet remix is tried and true.

F***************************** *********KING HELL.

Did HELL just freeze over?!?!?!?

Firstkn1ghT5542d ago

LMAO! Talk about late to the party. It's good to be American! :)

Arsenal4Ever5542d ago

lol im not paying $22 for this. Why is it so expensive over here?

Dipso5542d ago

They can expect pitiful sales, a day before SFIV and at that ridiculous price point?!

There really is no end to the stupidity of SCEE.

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde308d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12308d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde308d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B308d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B309d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h308d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake308d ago (Edited 308d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar308d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.

King91640d ago (Edited 1640d ago )

Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.

Teflon021639d ago

SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways

gamer78041639d ago

botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.

Enigma_20991640d ago

Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.

King91640d ago

Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.

PhoenixUp1640d ago

You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC

NapalmSanctuary1639d ago (Edited 1639d ago )

Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.

rainslacker1640d ago

That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?

Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.

Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.

If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
