You're so confident that the work necessary to get this to parity will be done. It is, afterall, only a 25 dollar game.
Why not wait?
And why buy it now, get used to the shitty input timing of the game and then have to adjust when/if it's fixed?

I have been, but I wish I could have discourse without a disclaimer in each message explaining that I'm not apologizing for the port.
My argument is more like, be outraged quieter. If you're a pro player, get your refund and move on. Take your principled stance against bad industry practices out on something shitty like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty. Almost any port made in this age given the same level of scrutiny could be blasted up the ass on day 1.
I'm gonna go actually play it now and see if I can get some sweet new glitches to complain about. ;-)
And just like every other time in the game's development cycle that issues like this came up, they we're patched. It's not a big deal.

What patch? Why are you so sure that a patch is going to fix it?

A lot of people posting in this thread already own SF4 on another platform, so that's 25 dollars I saved by not buying a worse version of the game.
If I don't already own it, I can buy a game that works like I expect it to work? USF4 isn't the only game on PS4
If. If it comes out.
Let's remember that the PC version took quite a bit of time to get right.
Cool, I'll play the 360 version instead which you can grab for less than $25:

But that was just the netcode though.. Plus I think Capcom was working on that directly? Here we have some hack developer piecing together USF4 for PS4....

There could've been a lot of upset customers for that version for all we know, but according to its wiki, SFA2 got released simultaneously on SNES, Saturn and PSX. And I forget what problems the game had on SNES, but as long as it wasn't advertised to be as good as the following-gen ports or the definitive version, I can understand how expectations were lower. A more accurate comparison would've been if SFA2 showed up on PSN (PS3) with more problems than the game has had before in older ports.
Sorry, I clarified in my post. I meant the condition of the game.
I mean I'd think PS4 would be worth running in the future (post patches) if only because people would need PS4 sticks for 5 anyway. But I don't really care about the competitive community, the game will have a community online without them is my point
Just as long as you understand why the competitive community cares so much. They contribute to the overall numbers of how big your online community will be, or won't be in this case.
Yeah, exactly. This has more issues and isn't by a competent dev.
All versions say super except pc, super is still the base game with the main trophies...

I'm not gonna wait because I want to play Street Fighter haha. And I'll adjust to it when the time comes because I'm an adult.
Well that's fine, but this all started over someone who didn't own it on another platform
This game is a great deal if you can't/don't want to play on PC.
lol, okay.
Yeah, if only it worked right. Sorry, my friends have more standards. Again I'm not saying people can't enjoy it but it's weird to see people recommend it. The playerbase is also much smaller thanks to this whole debacle. :/
Man, get that shit out of here. That's just provoking people.
You're straight up scaring me with how hard you're trying to push this terrible port on people. Even in different threads.....haha
Does anyone have any idea how long it takes for patches to get certified?
This sentiment is already almost gone and the PC version is once again being held as the best version of the game. Not only that, but the patch that finally fixed everything came out not even a month ago.(USF4 for PC came out almost a year back in August) I'm sure if they patch it and fix all the issues quickly the damage OO/Sony have already done can be fixed. Of course that's a big if lol.

It's still one of the best fighting games out there!
Not this version, not on a console with amazing ports of Xrd and MKX.

I mean, I've been playing this and MKX haha. Even if it's the worst version of Ultra, it's still a really fun game to play.

I don't see how these kinds of things won't be repeated in the future if both publishers and potential customers aren't made aware of how unpleasant it is. You're essentially saying that it doesn't matter if a game is booty, you shouldn't do anything to hurt sales numbers.
Also, there's no guarantee that it gets fixed. As far as I know there were still a bunch of unintended "features" in MK9 like player 1 advantage that were never patched, and the Other Ocean devs have abandoned other botched ports before patching them fully, etc.

The reason to spread the word about this bad port and get people to not buy it is to not reward bad port work.
Some of guys are such corporate apologists it seems, lol. Outrage quieter? Wtf.
And the bugs arent trivial. A bad tree texture in the back of the stage is trivial.

Oh ok, that's good to know regarding the PC version then. I just saw it more randomly here recently in threads I guess.

Yes, it's impossible to both buy and enjoy the game while also alerting the developers to the issues you have with it. Thanks a lot for selling out, Maximillian Dood. Fight the power. Etc.

I think post like this, and Beelzebufo's and riskVSreward's posts have me looking at getting the PC version now. But off-hand, for anyone that still consistently uses that port, are there still fixes needed for it, or is it all it needs to be at this point?

Aside from color indication of connection quality online not being 100% accurate, I have no issues with it all. Its pretty great. I'd wait until the steam summer sale though so you can get it when its cheaper.
The difference being is that I bet some of the people who bought it wouldn't have if they knew about the issues before hand.

Thats what people are doing in this thread, no? Devs looks at threads about their games.
Why is it bad to tell people to hold off and not reward bad port work? Does that make the game less fun for you? You dont mind the issues. Let the ones that do be.
Why control info? Let the people know and decide. Spread the word of this bad port!

Ya, I'd say wait for the summer sale, especially since it's less than a month away probably. It's an amazing port and definitely has the most solid netcode of all the platforms(besides the whole color indicators thing). All the fixes that were initially needed have been applied.

And yet I bet a lot of people would have bought it if it weren't for people misleading them in this thread
I agree. Why couldn't Sony &/or Capcom just port over the PC version, map the button configurations, make sure that the netcode for the online multiplayer for PSN on PS4 is up to snuff & call it a day instead of using the PS3 version, bump up the resolution to Native 1080p, among having to do more work?
It wouldn't have been so hard for them to do, especially when it's easy to port games from PC to PS4 & vice-versa.
And yet I bet a lot of people would have bought it if it weren't for people misleading them in this thread
No need for the sarcasm smilies.
And it's not misleading. If you don't have any issues, cool, but I think recommending people not to buy it when it's been widely reported to have issues is a good thing. Publishers shouldn't be rewarded for incompetence and false advertising.

It is most certainly misleading to exaggerate the issues the way some people have been
Like seriously, has anyone with the game seen a single invisible projectile on their own?
If they can fix the delay, better the net code, and get rid of the bugs I'm all for it.
Most importantly the Decapre teleport bugs.
However, I feel two things:
1) By the time they get it to a good state SF5 beta will be around the corner... and no one will give two shits about this version anyway.
2) They are wasting their money and time to do more than 1 patch on this.
This doesn't seem like a quick fix, and so this was a waste of time and money for everyone involved. I'm willing to eat crow, but too much went wrong and it'll take a miracle to fix it within a month to make me purchase.

Yes? Why do you think there's video footage. The projectile thing isn't even a big deal but the other stuff like the Decapre teleport bug is absolutely one.
It's not misleading, but hey if you want to waste $25 when you can spend it elsewhere while they patch the game (we don't even know if they will completely), more power to you. People will call you out for recommending it though when there's better options out there.
EDIT: Thanks Seven Force for quoting the Sixfortyfive list.

Have you seen an invisible projectile yourself? Like outside of YouTube videos. Honest question. How often? Youre just saying "it's not misleading" without giving reasons why it's not misleading. I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish here.
And it's anything but a waste of money. This is one of the better deals in gaming once your factor in all of the DLC

Invisible projectiles aren't even the worst thing about the port, considering some characters flat out don't work the way they are intended to as pointed out already:
I would hardly call the above an exaggeration.
wait till the summer sale. You can usually get everything for about 30 bucks.
The defense force for everything that goes wrong never ceases to amaze me. Sony basically lied about this port of USF4, they kept promoting it as the definitive edition and claimed input lag from the PS3 version had been fixed. Both of them lies since the game, in its current state, is a worse version than those already in the market and available in last gen consoles. People expected a game that worked just like those versions, only with better graphics given the hardware, yet somehow we got something none of us could have expected at all and people complaining have every right to do so, no matter how much they paid for it. The game has serious issues that must be fixed, the problem is how long it'll take for those fixes to come, not to mention that it's possible this port will end up not being the "definitive version" of USF4.
Edit: Also, please fix the AF or whatever is causing certain elements in the background to look blurry as hell. The training stage looks horrible.

I bet this guy has no idea that the Steam version of this very game we're discussing in this thread had horrid online play that took something like a year to fix lol. And then their is MKX which I don't play, but I've heard nothing but very bad things about as well.
I totally understand the collective shrug of the shoulders when ports of single player games are flawed but they really should have held this port to a top level standard given that they want it to be the tournament version.
This is just one sign of Capcom's complete apathy to SF. Capcom Japan doesn't give two shits about this franchise anymore, and it's a damn shame. Capcom USA needs to do better with this IP.
