Given how vastly superior the years old PC version is, there really it's no reason to buy this version unless you're on a 486 or something.

I just had a weird glitch I guess. The first main menu ran at 60fps like the other versions but when I jumped into the online menu it slugged again. Sure that will be fixed with the first patch at least.

What's even more absurd is this was being touted as the definitive version of Ultra to be used for all future pro tournaments including EVO and Capcom Cup.
For Capcom to just give away the game to port to a third party developer that has an atrocious track record with ports and not be involved in the slightest of their "definitive version" is so hilariously ridiculous it's pretty hard to believe.

I just realized for several games now that the names of the people I'm playing don't appear. Their psn names don't appear at all. I'm just playing random flags in ranked.
*fistshake*
I have no friends that play SF, so I'm playing against nothing but randos.
Not related to any bugs or anything, but just something I have to share.
Fuck Decapre and her dumb Ultra T_T

My point is connections vary, no one should be jumping to dismiss the netcode based on their own personal experiences. There's enough things wrong with the port, it seems like people are jumping to find the next problem with it just to be a part of the circus.

This thread should be renamed to the ps4 version OT.

do you honestly believe you have a special not shit version of the game? lawl
So, Ontario law provides that "Businesses should not make any performance claims unless they can back them up. The Competition Act prohibits any representation in the form of a statement, warranty or guarantee of the performance, efficacy or length of life of any given product, not based on adequate and proper testing. The onus is on advertisers to prove that the representation is based on an adequate and proper test. The test must have been concluded before the representation is made and the data must be readily available upon request by the Bureau.". Should I not be able to receive a refund based on all the information that Sony put out about all the problems of the PS3 version being fixed and this being the tournament standard edition?
Edit: Also it seems I've been locked out of using their live chat for requesting a refund?

Send them an email. Include the multiple videos of this game that are already on YouTube and add that specific law. Also, what a bunch of douchebags, banning you from a live support chat? REALLY?
What email should I reach? Can't find it on their support page. Also can anybody link me the tweets where they said the input lag would be fixed? That counts as advertising does it not?
How many times did you contact them, and were you polite?
If you ran into a grump, it's possible they may have done this.
Try the Sony support forums or their twitter support as some admins there might be able to look into it.

Seriously lol. I would totally buy this game again. I'm enjoying it, I don't have a different version to play, it was cheap, and it'll be fixed soon.
I could understanding someone with 4 different versions of Ultra feeling differently, but lol. At least this game isn't giving me headaches because the text is too small

I don't play at a very competitive level, just amongst friends and for funsies online, but for me this was easily worth 25. I've bought just about every version released on PSN, and having put in about 10 hours on this so far I've seen no invisible projectiles, no sound bugs, no graphical glitches, and input lag is no different to me than any other PS version. The hate here on GAF for it is real, but the reasons for it seem blown out of proportion.

That's kinda the Guy player's fault. Her Ultra actually reminds me of one of Oro's Supers from 3S. And yes, it's annoying, but you can easily plan around it as long as you do nothing unsafe while close by.
The Guy player didn't get that memo apparently.

Are we taking bets on this being fixed before EVO?

The sound bug on the Brazil stage where the sound of water(?) starts to get so loud that it overpowers everything, including the announcer, is pretty irritating. I used to love that stage and music

I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if projectiles disappeared or Juris pinwheel was doing weird shut lol
It's a terrible port job. "Playable" is relative.

Actually it means you have a high tolerance for garbage.
No chance.
For me, it doesn't. I can't even get a match online. The inconsistency in characters is annoying as fuck. lol @ trying to use Decapre in this game. Unplayable.
If we are, I'd bet against it especially now that Capcom has come out and said that this version will not be used at Evo if it's not fixed, basically taking the pressure off whoever's fixing it and letting them take their time.
"sorry that patch didn't fix all the issues guys, thanks for the support, we are working on another one and will try to get it out as soon as possible" is what I'm expecting.
No way this can be fixed by a patch, specially one from the same crew that broke it in the first place.

At this point Capcom should fix it themselves, especially if Sony wants this as the version for future events.

@Capcom @Playstation I request a refund for SF4 for PS4. Bad port. Broken. Buggy. Please.

I would just love to get an accountability chart with all the people in here saying it will be impossible to fix this with a patch.
There's a difference between fixing it and fixing it in a meaningful time frame.

You can probably push the goalposts a little bit further here before we get started actually discussing the logistics. Just get it out of the way as early as possible.

Can't really see cause of compression, but if ps3 had AA it would of looked better. so the 360 version of ultra probably looks better than the ps4 version because of the AA + AF.
well those are jpgs

So when does the new patch come out? I hope they knew about these bugs for a while so that it actually might get patched (even though that looks bad as well, best possible scenario at the moment).
Well, actually I do feel like it's a fair use of the term all things considered. But not even considering all that, it fails to meet one of, if not THE main advertised selling point of the game, which is the reduced input delay. It fails to operate as specified. I'd consider that a broken product.
don't feel like registering to site. Unless theres one that doesn't require.
I believe so too.
New dev-team - New port
And while they're at it, use some quality AA (if not AA + AF) as the PS4 GPU has the pixel performance to burn.

That's bad, never got that however, I will see the name when they join my lobby for ranked play whilst playing arcade mode with fight request on, but whilst playing I don't see any names including mine, even at the results screen no names show.Grimløck;165584504 said:i get stuff like this. other times there are no names. sometimes its just mine. there's no rhyme or reason to this nonsense.

"well, it boots!" is a terribly low bar to set, especially when a company pretty plainly lied about the functionality. Playing it as people starting a witchhunt because of anti-sony bias or whatever is disingenuous.
I realize every game is expected to be a burning car wreck at launch this gen, but considering what was promised and what was delivered there's no world in which this port job is acceptable.

Some people try to defend this? Honda can't combo, ultras are bugged, decapre's teleport is to short, the names don't show properly, the menu is slow. The port is garbage.
