Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

I already got to play this a couple of weekends ago. It's really good, possibly even amazing, it's just that as I sat there playing it I realized that I just don't give a shit about fighting games anymore.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

Yeah, while playing both the new Soul Calibur and SF2HD, I also realized that even with good fighting games, the luster has definitely worn off the genre for me. They feel like mini-games now instead of full-fledged titles.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

agreed. now, if a new Mortal Kombat was released with HD graphics and in 2D of course, I would probably be enamoured with it for months

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

While I feel the same and echo the mini-game statement, for some reason I'm still really really excited about SF4.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

I think I'm going with the PS3 version as well (simply for the Blu-Ray and better D-pad). I'm already on my 5th Xbox and I just don't see my system making it through the rest of 2009.

#5 :eek:

That's just sad. I feel for ya.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

My 1st pre-order ever is this for PS3 because of the d-pad and blu-ray.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

Hoo-Hoo-Ha.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

:lol:

Total side note, but I was looking for some funny Dee-Jay pics and came across this (NSFW) :drool:

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

$49 for PS3 at circuitcity.com
Plus a $10 gift card

Hopefully circuit city stays in business until it comes out. But you get to use the gift card immediately.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

It's not just SCIV. The Force unleashed was also 720 on the PS3 and 1080 on the 360. I find it that it's rare to get a game in 1080 on the PS3.

I preordered the Xbox CE. I figure I'll watch the movie once, and play the game for a month or so. I may get a stick, though I doubt it.

And I remember back in the PS1 days, how a lot of people complained about the PS1 joypad, compared to the Saturn pad. Like, the D-Pad being split in the middle made it hard to pull off dragon punches.
I guess the 360 pad is so bad, it makes the PS pad look good?

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

Ha-do-ken!

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

They've compensated for the split pad and moves are not difficult to pull off w/ the sixaxis/ds3.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

That was awesome! Now I'm even more pumped up for this.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

That was awesome on an epic scale!

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

That's a cool video, I think this is the only game i'm really anticipating for the start of this year.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

IMO the PS d-pad sucks still. It's better than the PS1 d-pad, marginally, but the split setup sucks for SF, although it's tolerable for Tekken somehow.

Joystick FTW

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

wow, Ken's is REALLY powerful from the look of it. That took off more than half life!

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

This waiting is unbearable. I have store credit from some trade-ins now burning a hole in my pocket, waiting for SFIV ... don't know if I will be able to hold onto it, I've never held onto store credit for more than a couple weeks without blowing it on something :)

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

I realize this is a bit late, but 1080p on the 360 for SCIV is untrue.

I don't really understand why the PS3 has two resolutions listed. Either way the 360 isn't rendering at more than 720p.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

Good to know, thanks Mordred.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

CDwow currently has a 48 hour sale - got SF4 for $41 shipped.

Re: Street Fighter 4 Announced
 

I'm almost relieved that I seem to have missed the opportunity to buy the more expensive stick. I'm sure it's impressive, but I'm definitely not a good enough player to tell the difference between the two sticks, and that would be yet another really expensive accessory that would get put in a corner after a while. Now I can just get a kinda expensive accessory that would get put in a corner after a while, to go with my HRAP3.
