Super Street Fighter IV Won't Battle On PCs

[VincentX3]

You do realize that will change anything, correct?

If they want to pirate it, download a 360 emulator, and emulate the game on 360.

You've really changed nothing at all, except make it only accessible on PC for pirates.

Good job retards.

you release there is no working Xbox\Xbox360 emulator, or even anything close at this day and age right?
There is only one Xbox emulator and it can only run SOME intro videos at the moment, very slowly.

Hell not even the PCSX2 is fully working, still ton of bugs even with the high speed it can get.

First things first, who would want to play Street Fighter 4 on a PC? Aren't the whole concept of fighting games to button mash a controller and having vs matches in comfy couch? Which nothing that the PC delivers.

Is this a serious question? I can't tell if you're being highly sarcastic or not. I'll assume you aren't for the purposes of this answer:

SFIV PC was a 'strong seller', so clearly, a lot of people. You can connect controllers to a PC. SFIV PC has multiplayer (online and offline). You can connect a PC to a large monitor or television.

...and why put up so much effort to make a perfectly good PC to work like a console? If you have to do all that to get the the same experience but with shinier graphics, then just play the game on a console and cover your eyes if you can't stand the abomination of gaming under 1080p while leaving the PC for genres it's actually good at.

Firstly, it's not a massive workload of effort to do. You get a controller, you plug it in. You then plug your PC into a screen/TV. That's it.

Secondly, I know it sounds painfully obvious, but some people don't own consoles. Nor do they want to obtain one for reasons which differ from person to person.

Well I don't own a console but it's so fun to fight your own kin, right?

The controller option is easy enough, if you own one that is. The TV option is still very fuzzy since either you have to buy a really long HDMI cable and by God are they not cheap. Second option is to release your computer from a mess of cables and then carry the 20 kg son-of-a-***** wherever you have your TV.

The price of a second hand Xbox is almost worth the cost considering the painfull effort to make a PC to a fancy console.

Yes. Devil's advocate, right?

Anyway, you make a good point with the cable. And I'm a laptop user myself, so I forget the lack of portability of the desktop.

I guess the actual comfort part is subjective in the first place. I have no problem playing at my desk, on my bed or sofa or whatever, it's really not as uncomfortable as a lot of console players seem to make it out to be. I don't think it's a case of turning your PC into a complete console, but rather, I happen to have a PC, and SFIV happens to be released on it.

Only way to elevate this situation is to team up with Valve/Steam, Capcom. Don't screw us over.

Oh but didn't you hear? They think it would be unfair to those who don't have Steam if they release it on there.

...

WHAT? How to get Steam:

1) Have internet

2) Download Steam

3) ???

4) PERFECT!

That was such a piss weak excuse I don't even know what to say to it, considering the successful DRM requires internet connection at least to activate. Either way, alleviation ain't happening folks, and I'll shed a tear every day this isn't on PC.

Why do that when you can create your own proprietary DRM like Ubisoft and screw over all of your customers simultaneously!

your right bungie is such a failed company never had succesful games, im mean Reach bombed right? oh wait your just flat wrong.

You're right, Blizzard and EA/Maxis are such failed companies that never had successful PC games, I mean The Sims and World of Warcraft bombed right? Oh wait, you're just flat out wrong.

Producer Yoshinori Ono, in an interview with 4Gamer.net, explained that while <a href=http://www.amazon.com/Super-Street-Fighter-IV-Xbox-360/dp/B002TDIEE0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1285176652&sr=8-4>Street Fighter IV's sales were strong on the PC, the platform was also "number one in piracy."

Find me one game that isn't. I'll wait.

And here is the soultion for piracy - just don't create for the platform.

Granted you can pirate consoles as well - but its considerably more effort to do so and piracy would drop. I actually applaud Capcom for this - and I hope other developers follow suit.

Then they can follow suit ten years down the line and not make games for consoles either.

Was easy as hell to pirate FAILBox games, never bought a game my entire time owning one. Think it is time to rebuild another FAILBox actually, get back to an endless library of free games (buy the PC version if it is good of course). Think I will hit up ebay for a free game fountain when I get settled again. Been wanting to try out Alan Wake anyway, definitely don't want Remedy to get any cash for it.

On topic: Played 5 minutes of the Street Fighter 4 demo when it came out... Shitty games can stay on consoles.

A. These forums are not pirate friendly.

B. ...Really? Your a pirate AND a graphics whore? The lowest form of gamer out there.

Plus, with the right effects, SFIV had excellent graphics. I'd hate to see what you think of Minecraft.
