Mike Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Speaking of limited editions, the version that I got came in a presentation box, with a character moves guide and a Chun-Li figurine. No idea whether it was limited edition or just what got sent out to press, though.
Deathjam Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 £35 plus post:blank: Wrong. £27 + P&P. Had mine preordered from amazon since Jan 21st. Nice chun li one too, shame her legs aren't on it
Dan_Dare Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 blazin squad. This weekend: SFIV + Beer = lols. yes.
Columnar Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Me too, got my pre-order for the game and controller at Amazon since Jan 21st all for the princely sum of £55.31 which includes P & P. Never pre-ordered with Amazon before so I hope I get it on Friday - I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't show up on the 20th:shakehead But yes, as others have said I couldn't be more hyped for Friday. It really will be amazing I'm sure of it.
Goron_3 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just ordered me the controller, can't wait to get my hands on this game now. Trading in Fable II and Professor Layton aswell so should get the LE version of SFIV at a nice price too
Choze Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Its the same SF we all know. Which is why i'll be renting. I feel tried of the franchise already. The arcade version is nice but its still feels like the same old game that the hardcore will like. After the horrible SF2HDturbo i get the impression many will just be super forgiving of Capcom as they have been with all their games this gen. Is there confirmation the PS3 is getting an arcade port and not a 360 port? The movie is DVD or Blu Ray?

Choze Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 um. no. You am fail lol. Yes i do fail if you are wearing your capcom and Street fighter goggles. : peace: There are better looking Wii games than Sf2TurboHDX (whatever it is) and with more than one frame of animation in the backgrounds.
Deathjam Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 heavy stuff. Shopto sent mine out today!! Same here! and at this rate, it should arrive on thursday! Possibly late wednesday as has happened in the past when i ordered at 1pm one day, and got it around the same time the next day. Shame though that I have not heard a squeak out of Amazon concerning my pad though This time next week i will be whoring myself over SF4 (if that makes sense) while hopefully seeing that Shopto have done the same thing with Killzone 2
Dan_Dare Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Wow. Textbook point missing there dude but, uh, whatever I suppose. This game is going to set XBL and PSN alight in the coming months and it looks absolutely awesome. If you're not in to it then it's your loss.
Chris the great Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 i changed my order to game to get a day earlier. by using my loyalty points, ima actualy saving 50p. not owned a street fighter before, though remeber playing sf2 on the mega drive and snes. mite pursuade my mates to turn fifa off.

I for one am looking forward to this game more than Killzone 2, which I know is a game you adore, yet I find the controls on it shit, and apart from the graphics, is just another generic FPS. My opinion of course. But an opinion thats probably shared with a few forum members, and more than one respected gaming site. Even Eurogamer gave SFIV a 10/10!
Pit-Jr Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Wow. Textbook point missing there dude but, uh, whatever I suppose. This game is going to set XBL and PSN alight in the coming months and it looks absolutely awesome. If you're not in to it then it's your loss. I gotta agree here, sure its another rehash of SFII. But one of the main selling points for me is the massive fanbase that guarantees ill always have some online competition and im glad i can jump right into a familiar fighting engine. And of course it looks great graphically too @Choze, from what ive been reading, both versions of the game are identical and arcade perfect and according to my preorder info, the anime is on BD for the PS3 version
Dan_Dare Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 i saw some cool vids earlier: Moveset breakdowns of Akuma and Genjin (that right?) they look sick. Especially the old man- his Dragon Punch and Hurricane Kicks are kind of reversed so the punch is a ground dash and the kick goes straight up for air defence.
Guest Jordan Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Yes i do fail if you are wearing your capcom and Street fighter goggles. : peace: There are better looking Wii games than Sf2TurboHDX (whatever it is) and with more than one frame of animation in the backgrounds. Are you actually taking the piss? They never wanted to re-invent the wheel, it was a god damn remake of an arcade game!! Sometimes, honestly.
flameboy Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I'm not getting this. Don't think I have the time to invest to actually get good at it. Wish was there was a demo coming out so could at least try it though, thing is when Soul Calibur came out there wasn't much else I was playing so was able to put the time in and get good, this wouldn't be the case with SFIV, barely even found the time to touch HD remix...perhaps should play that some more first.
Choze Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 It was a lousy remake. Minimum amount of work done. I suppose some of you fans are too blinkered to really see that given that you are used to hash after hash of countless street fighter games. I get annoyed at full price games why should PSN games be treated better? There are tons of good remakes on Wii or PSP even. The HD thing was rubbish. I'd rather have taken a SD remake with good quality sprites and afew added animation frames in the background. Lazy is the best word to describe SF2THD. Also check out this game: Muramasa. Now thats 2D.
Deathjam Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Didnt get HD remix as found the look of it appalling when compared to Third Strike. SF4 on the other hand looks like a beauty and Pit-Jr summed up my main pull, always being able to get a human opponent via online. AI just does not cut it.

Now thats 2D. Ever heard of 'Apples and oranges'? Completely incomparable games, developers, purpose, ideology... Not to mention price point.

Street Fighter Alpha (PS1 port,no online)- $6 Street Fighter 2 Turbo (SNES port on VC, no online)-$8 SF2HDR (online, HD upgrade, new soundtrack, moves)-$15 Seems fair to me. As for the background animation, i barely notice it while im actually playing the game And goddamnit i want Muramasa on the PSN
Choze Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Yeah i would love Muramasa on PSN. SF4 is pretty too. I like the style. Just feel tired of SF. It does not entirely refresh the gameplay enough for me. Plus i suck nowadays trying to pull off combos. I kept losing at the eurogamer expo.
DuD Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I am building my own using this guide: Converting Saturn Pad to USB I was wondering how sucessfull this venture was for you, as i've ordered the game for pc (i've only got a wii) and am looking for a decent control option.
McPhee Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just ordered through Shopto, they're dispatching tomorrow apparently. Orders should arrive Wednesday or Thursday depending on if Royal Mail feel like behaving or not...
Guest Jordan Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I honestly doubt my pad will be with me for Thursday/Friday. I can deal with using my 360 controller for a few days.
