The PS4 (and XSX) version of the game look a lot different than the current gen ones.  I play on PS5 at 1080p on a 10 foot screen and don't notice any jaggies or blurriness.  It looks fantastic.

I was talking about the PS4 version. It just looks bad graphically. The current gen build naturally runs and looks well

can't believe how bad SF5 has aged.  It just looks so bad and like it is in a beta form in all aspects - graphics, sounds, UI, etc.

Unpopular opinion but 6 isn't doing much better visually. I generally like the overall presentation, sound effects, the graffiti splashes when drive impact hits, and how the cutscenes transform the game during level 3/criticals, and obviously the character models have an insane amount of detail 

But then you look at the matches or even still screenshots and it's like a late PS3 game - poor shadowing, bland color gamut on most stages, weird lighting solution where you have both the stage sources and like a spotlight above which makes characters shiny, it's so strange to me 

I'm not gonna let go of the theory that releasing SF6 on PS4 caused Capcom to hold back significantly so that console can maintain 60fps - the demo alone was really rough with very visible jaggies and blurriness 

I predict in a few years there will be a major re-release that cuts off PS4 support, because I just don't see them sticking with it until like 2029 or whenever the next street fighter is supposed to launch. I'm assuming at least 5 years of support for 6

Some solid designs that were scrapped

 

 

Especially the top right red outfit. That one is fire and better than the final design they chose

All of these are trash except maybe 5 and 9

Sega made two grave mistakes - remained stubborn in prioritising the opinion of their Japanese headquarters even in the middle of an ongoing war, and lost countless millions of dollars on useless garbage like the mega drive tower of power 

No wonder Moore jumped ship to Xbox almost immediately, the Dreamcast was doomed the moment 2000-2001 hit and Sony had a grip on megaton titles like FF and MGS2 while Microsoft revolutionised console FPS and brought online gaming to home systems. Meanwhile all Sega could do was hapharazdly port their original IPs from one dying platform (arcades) to another, and the billion dollar production in form of Shenmue 2 wouldn't move the needle enough, not to mention just how strong the third party relationships PS2 had were with seemingly entire industry releasing platform exclusives 

When GTA3 skipped Dreamcast altogether it was GGs

PS1 Xmen vs Street Fighter frame drops are legendary. The game would really begin to chug when two Juggernauts played.

 

 

 

Kinda funny how PSone was chuck full of various 3d titles but would have slowdown in a sprite based 2d fighting game of all things

My game froze on this lol

I always wondered how they do the skeleton effect in 3d - is it a flash quick model swap, a special texture overlay, a visual effect? Like with sprites it's obviously a different set specifically for each character 

It's not a UE4 or UE5 issue, it's a packaging issue. There are many unreal based games that do not require full redownloads any time a patch is out. Capcom's SFV devs were just that incompetent

Which is it? You first said they abolished the policy, now you say policy could have changed. Got a source?

I said they removed the payment requirement for issuing patches. I don't know anything about bandwidth fees

It was the news that let the average Joe know about "PSN bandwidth fees".

It's also been 15 years since the news you linked and the policies could've changed a million times over since, for better or for worse

For the publisher. Hosting data on the servers costs money

Lol a source from 2009

Also both Sony and Microsoft abolished the policy of requiring pay from developers to release patches a few years ago

Putting multiple patches out costs money though so most likely not...

Costs for who? 

They're really going to wait until June for Akuma and season 2 patch to drop ffs

Everybody knows Mighty No 9 is the best mega man game

One of the reasons why that "leak" seemed fake was the specific characters mentioned in the post

I'm not saying Capcom will follow the same philosophy exactly, but they seemed to have established a very clear DLC character composition format for SFV

Season 1: Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Juri, Balrog, Urien

4 dudes, 2 chicks 

Season 2: Akuma, Kolin, Ed, Abigail, Menat, Zeku

4 dudes, 2 chicks 

Season 3: Sakura, Blanka, Sagat, Cody, Falke, G

4 dudes, 2 chicks 

Season 4: Lucia, Poison, Honda, Seth, Twelve, Gill

(technically) 4 dudes, 2 chicks 

Season 5: Dan, Rose, Oro, Akira, Luke

3 dudes, 2 chicks 

 for SF6 season 1 we got majority male characters with Rashid, Aki, Ed, Akuma, so while there's no concrete confirmation of S2 as of now, it doesn't seem like their approach has shifted much, only the number of characters released (and even then it's entirely possible season 2 goes up from 4 to 6)

Speaking of fools, remember those Season 2 leaks I posted here? It turned out to be fake.

That was fairly obvious tbh 

Speaking of Arika stuff, April fools is coming right up and they've been making announcements on that day for the last few years. Maybe release date for FEXL 2?

You guys think Capcom is gonna throw us a surprise with Akuma like they did with Rashid last year?

Yes, I'm still a story nigga at heart. I really need this question answered.

Based 

Brolylegs undeniably was, is and will be an inspiration for people all over the world no matter the hobby or genre they pick up, dude's power level could not be contained by sheer body deformations, and he was godlike at fighting games too when you still have pathetic bitches on reddit saying they can't do a quarter circle motion 

So when did the rules change that we can talk about non SF stuff in this thread? 

The one sided stomps today were brutal 

Also next Kumite confirmed to be held in France again, get hype

if more to players played Blanka seriously

Nah I'm good with just having Mena, Nishikin and a couple others 

Punk thinking he's pulling a 400iq move by using the main of his opponent 

Nice match throw, dumbass 

Wow it looks like we're gonna have an ALL Sf2 top-4? 

Du Guile 

Leshar Chun 

Punk Cammy 

Mena Blanka (though he's just gonna use Luke for the remaining matches)

Leshar is a whole ass villain.

 

People slept on chun like they slept on Juri.

S2 Tier S will be Chun, Juri, Deejay, Akuma 

I would like to express my condolences to Luke, JP, Ken and possibly Guile mains out there
