Madcatz ps4 sticks work on ps3Madcatz inked a new deal with Capcom for SF5 so i highly doubt it.

MadCatz also expressed support for this movement. Don't believe me, go look through some of the earlier pages of this thread.Madcatz inked a new deal with Capcom for SF5 so i highly doubt it.
The cynic in me says that of course MarkMan would tell people he supports the Skullgirls driver while behind the scenes Madcatz as a company is hoping that Capcom doesn't support old sticks.MadCatz also expressed support for this movement.

Hell, it's why I have very little hope for last gen instruments working for the new Rock Band. Madcatz wants you to buy the new plastic guitars and drums, don't they?

Yeah, but enough people play SF that Capcom can probably count on the most hardcore players to buy new sticks in order to compete at tournaments.And companies want you to buy their new product, don't they?
I think it would be safe to say companies would sell more software if they had support for old peripherals.

The only hope I have for Rock Band is that they see the new game as a service and plan on making money selling DLC as opposed to selling new peripherals. That model doesn't really exist for SF and I assume the only thing that would even change that is if the entire FGC got together and decided that next-gen SF4 and SF5 were not worth playing.

It's sort of different for Rock Band though? you can't really play it with a standard controller,
Fighting games are designed with controllers in mind, but better with a stick
Don't they say in the latest behind the scenes Rockband developer video that they're specifically looking to allow use of old peripherals?

You can guess which company is cockblocking HMX and which one allows it. The ambiguity of their statement is because of that cockblock.
They're looking into it aka don't get your hopes up. loli thought they already said the old guitars work? maybe im full of it or missed some new info.
That's why I have a slim hope... but again, Madcatz is in both of these genres and it is definitely in their interest to sell more plastic. IIRC, Madcatz was the publisher of RB3 after Viacom sold HMX and I assume that they are publishing RB4?That's really what Harmonix is doing, trying to keep it a platform for DLC. They just know there are a lot of people who still have a lot of old instruments, and a lot that threw theirs away. Probably a significant enough number of both that they need to support both segments.
Yeah they did, but how will they do it if you have wireless instruments? For PS3 I think it's bluetooth, but for Xbox, it's a completely different wireless standard. I just think they said they would try to support it so that they can lessen the blow later when they announce that you need to buy new instruments after E3.Don't they say in the latest behind the scenes Rockband developer video that they're specifically looking to allow use of old peripherals?
Yeah, until the move to 360/PS3 I think.The first few GH games worked with a controller.

My understanding is that Harmonix is self-publishing this time.
Perhaps there may be some sort of RB4 USB dongle that needs to be supported from within the game.
I posted some impressions in an old thread after someone asked to test USB controllers with the War Thunder controller setup wizard - it mostly workedYeah they did, but how will they do it if you have wireless instruments?

As someone who has a lot of plastic stuff from last gen consoles, I'd love to be an optimist and believe that everything will be supported... but I also live in the real world.
Certainly USB would be easier since it is a software/driver solution. And I think it's hilarious that War Thunder supports almost everything. It's just that for Rock Band in particular, everything at the end of the run was wireless.
Oh I hope I'm wrong when it comes to this. lolI'm hopeful, because Hmx did that survey and have a good idea of how important it is to people. It's also important for the Sony/MS to get people to buy the game because of how heavily DLC-focused the game is. RB fans buy a ton of DLC on their respective stores, so it might be worth it for them to help get instruments working.
