Seth Killian heeft het volgende gezegd:

With Street Fighter IV coming out soon for the PC, how likely is it to see it become the standard for tournaments like EVO? A common platform that could accept both PS3 and XBox 360 arcade sticks would do a lot to bridge the two consoles’ communities. — Rock

Seth: It’s not something I’d considered before directly, but honestly it’s not a bad idea. PCs can seem to have more little issues since the games aren’t quite as “plug and play,” but obviously it’s overall a great platform. One possible advantage of consoles over PC in this regard might be having slightly different specs on the PCs (we would need a lot of them), whereas consoles are uniform.

That seems like a pretty marginal issue (and one that could be addressed), but at the top levels, even minute differences can be a big deal. Even if machine specs don’t result in any playable differences (and they should not), one thing so many years of EVO has taught me is that someone would complain about it anyway

One other potential issue would be console swapping. Given the number of games played at EVO, and the fact that the player-preferred versions tend to be on different consoles, we have to allot time and manpower to swapping out the previous game’s console and swapping in the new one. With consoles, this isn’t fun, but isn’t usually too bad (except for the DreamCast, which loves to break if you move it — we have easily burned out 50 of those things just playing MVC2), but swapping out a console and swapping in a PC would be a lot more work.

Definitely an interesting question to consider, however. Hrm…

Op het forum spreken de Playstation 3 gebruikers al enige tijd hun frustratie uit aangaande de Battle Points, Grade Points & Championship Points. Er blijkt van alles mis te gaan met een zogenaamde point reset en het bekijken van replays verloopt bij veel gebruikers verre van soepel.

Capcom is bezig deze problemen zo spoedig mogelijk uit de wereld te helpen. Lees hier de volledige statement via Google translation. Deze vertaling is erg ruw maar de boodschap komt alsnog goed over.

Vanaf nu kun je het ‘all in costume pack’ downloaden op Xbox Live (PSN versie volgt snel). Deze set kost 1000 MS punten (ongeveer 11 euro). De seperate packs zijn inmiddels al enige tijd verkrijgbaar en zijn door veel fans al gedownload. Fans die het geduld hadden tot vandaag te wachten besparen ongeveer 6 euro.

Er zitten een paar leuke outfits bij. Zo lijkt Guile op Nash, Zangief op Hagar & Ken op een pimp. Zie hieronder alle voorbeelden van de nieuwe outfits (inclusief kleuren).

Abel | Akuma | Boxer | Blanka | Cammy |  Chun-Li | Crimson Viper | Dan | Dhalsim | Honda | El Fuerte | Fei Long | Gen | Gouken | Guile | Ken | Dictator | Rose | Rufus | Ryu | Sagat | Sakura | Seth | Claw | Zangief

Christian Svensson (vice president of strategic planning and business development Capcom) heeft op het officiële Capcom forum meer informatie gegeven waarom Playstation spelers niet online tegen Xbox spelers kunnen spelen. Bovendien gaat hij ook nog in op een paar andere onderwerpen, waaronder Rival Schools en de netcode van SFIV PC version. Klik op de bron onderaan de post als je meer informatie wilt cross platform play en re-releases van Capcom

Why won’t there be cross play between XBox 360 and PC Street Fighter IV players?
Sven: Supporting crossplay in any game is not trivial by any stretch. It also means a commitment to version locking where if you update one platform, you have to update the other too. And costs of doing so are also not trivial. Additionally, schedule is a factor. If we wanted to go that route, it would have meant an even greater delay in the product arrival.

Will the PC SF4 game have improved net code?
Sven: To the best of my knowledge, it’s identical net code.

Is there any chance of Capcom re-releasing Rival Schools?
Sven: Re-releases are not always as cinchy as they sound, but I do agree [Rival Schools] has some fun potential to reach an audience. The downside is that time has not been as kind to its 3D graphics, and while sprite-based work can still seem interesting and even nostalgic, some of the Rival Schools models just look a little rough. We’ve also got a LOT of fighting options available right now, so we want to be able to focus on each of them without just flooding the market with our entire back catalog. [...]
