Support NeoGAF

[stan423321]

I almost didn't play SF#... Are the characters supposed to cover HUD in those shots above?

Of course it hits new page, hah. You know what I mean anyway.

 

[LiK]

My thoughts exactly. How did something like this make it past certification?

i think if BF4 could pass cert, all bets are off.

 

[fader]

Seems silly not to handle it themselves or at least check the damn port before it goes out.

it's not really a new thing to outsource especially when your current employees working on things.

 

[Rephin]

This is pretty painful to watch. I was looking forward to this, too.

 

[ShinMaruku]

My thoughts exactly. How did something like this make it past certification?

Cert is to see if a game runs. Q&A failed to see where the problems where with the input lag.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Was this a Gio joint? I like the guy, but, sounds like he needs to step up his port game. Borderlands 2 on Vita should have been a sign.

I don't think Gio actively sits down and does the port himself.

 

[Impeccable]

Wonder if this is jumping the gun or not.

Quoting myself - I posted this thinking it was another week until this was out.

Oops.

 

[DigiMish]

People reporting lag, are you using PS3 sticks?

 

[jiggles]

Utterly fuming I blind-bought this digital. No idea it wasn't being handled by the original team.

The store page promises "smoother gameplay" than the PS3 version. Wonder can I get a refund on that.

 

[entremet]

People seem to be confused about certification.

Certification is not about noticing frame dips and stuff. that's for in house QA..

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Damn forreal..? I planned on moving on from 360

 

[L2P]

can someone do an actual input/lag test on this? was planning on streaming this tonight

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

That I now, but in THIS particular instance, it seems silly. Much like MCC was for 343. In cases like Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs etc I get it. I understand outsourcing. But with this game given it was to be used in tournaments from here on out, also being an exclusive, I thought Capcom might have handled it themselves.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

What's QA, right?

 

[dugdug]

I don't think Gio actively sits down and does the port himself.

Of course, but, he's the one in charge of making deals with devs, no? Just saying he might need a new Rolodex.

 

[dmr87]

You wonder what kind of people they have at Q/As these days.

 

[Recall]

Certification sure as hell should have noticed the press start prompt on the main menu. Its a button that doesnt exist on the Dual Shock 4

Capcom just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about FGC culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in casual land where you can become successful by being incompetent. If you screw someone over in the FGC, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is that the FGC, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase USF4 and SFV for the PS4, nor will they purchase any of Capcom's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Capcom has alienated an entire market with this move.

Capcom, publicly apologize and cancel USF4 and SFV for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

LOL... well played, sir. Well played indeed.

So from this thread, I can't tell whether the PS4 version will be the EVO one. If so, Capcom better get their stuff together.

 

[mnz]

Lol, I just saw the Decapre vine. I hope it's not a sign of a future nerf :x

It has to be. Who didn't see that nerf coming?

 

[stan423321]

Cert is to see if a game runs. Q&A failed to see where the problems where with the input lag.

I guess I'm spoiled by Nintendo horror stories, but they would put your game on hold if you wrote about "B button" instead of "B Button" in GBA times. Compared to that, "Press Start" is actually a confusing thing.

 

[Justinh]

duuude...

I'm not good at fighters, but If I had a PS4, I would have bought this today without any checking because

of course itll be fine. This is going to be great!

Mostly just to play with a new fight stick that I'd have by now.


Part of me kinda hopes it doesn't get fully fixed, and it's still the version that's played at tourneys. Just to watch it all burn...burn to the ground.

Nah I'm sure it'll all get sorted out. They've got a little bit, I'm sure they'll get it ready with some time to spare.

 

[Momentary]

Should have gone with QLOC like they always did.

 

[thefit]

Its bad, there seems to be a lot of people just wanting to give it a pass in the other thread but I can tell you its especially bad when I play it every day live and now steam. Slow menus, ugly menus, ugly graphics and at times sluggish game play. Shits bad man.

 

[Duxxy3]

LOL... well played, sir. Well played indeed.

So from this thread, I can't tell whether the PS4 version will be the EVO one. If so, Capcom better get their stuff together.

As is I would not expect the PS4 version to be at EVO.

I don't think they will be able to fix everything before CEO as it's only a month away. There is a small chance they'll get some things fixed before EVO. I guess it will be up to the EVO staff to decide if enough has been fixed.

 

[AmyS]

Why couldn't at least Iron Galaxy have gotten the USFIV PS4 porting job?

They did decent ports of Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom + Shadow Over Mystara (Chronicles of Mystara) for multiple platforms, while Capcom / original arcade staff handled the Japanese PS3 retail / physical version themselves.

Bad port isn't exactly a great selling point, what were you expecting them to say?

Decapre's teleport is way slower ...

Infiltration's gonna be sick

 

[DR2K]

Before EVO? No one saw anything coming.

aren't they busy working on KI?

 

[ShogunDarius]

I'm just throwing this out there, of the people that are having issues, do you have over 100 friends on your friends list?

 

[Crayon]

I have to admit that the situation with the clock ticking till evo and the uncertainty of a patch calls for popcorn. I feel a little bad for being so titillated but I'm not going to be able to look away until it's over.

 

[stan423321]

A faithful experience?

I hope this is just a ps4 thing and not an actual nerf.

 

[cackhyena]

I hope it's a nerf because fuck that character.

 

[Shadoken]

I really wonder how Capcom will react to this ... Didn't anyone from Capcom USA try out the game before it launched? They have some good players working there too like Combofiend.

 

[AmyS]

No idea, just thought of them is all.

Combo on the hotseat.

 

[Altered Juice]

I understand people are upset and annoyed, but why not wait for patches?

 

[ec0ec0]

so... they "did a battlefield"

 

[Justinh]

I'm just throughout this out there, of the people that are having issues, do you have over 100 friends on your friends list?

I actually had that thought run through my head when I was reading some of the "How could they mess up such an old game" comments...

 

[InfiniteCombo]

I agree with that. Thanks for the response.

What's with the Quality Assurance, anyway? I would expect they would consult with FGC pros/insiders before releasing a competitive fighting game? Or I'm I in "crazy talk" land?

 

[Jotamide]

Wow Sony and Capcom, just awful.

EDIT: these are the guys behind the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection? No fucking wonder it turned out badly.

 

[vg260]

Lol at the people bitching about "Press Start". I really hope all of the supposed issues are ironed out by the time Evo rolls around. I was thinking of buying in the near future, will keep monitoring gaf for impressions/improvements.

Well, it's funny that they made the effort to have the announcer saying "Ulltra Street Fighter IV" come through the DualShock 4 speaker on that screen, but missed that.

 

[Duxxy3]

Probably concentrating on SFV and the community. They should have paid more attention to this port.

They also made the port of Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers Resurrection for 360 and ps3 which is practically flawless.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Good response.
/s.

But really, why not?

 

[LowParry]

I kind of expect some patch work in the next couple of weeks. I won't go into full disappointed mode yet.

 

[diffusionx]

Didn't Capcom/Sony explicitly say the lag/frame issues with the PS3 version would be fixed with this?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

My download is a bit off from finishing. Is this issue (or issues) something regular gamers won't notice or care about?

 

[Recall]

It would be nice if one game, just one actually launched working and running fine at launch.
