its tying into that hadouken cab video that started viral last week, and then this past weekend capcom made an announcement for an announcement that they will have this week in regards to usf4. it's 100% speculation at this point, but it's based on those 2 events.

and if that is the case, then i'm 100% keeping one of my ps4's.

Well, at this point, Microsoft has the X1-exclusive Killer Instinct where Sony just has the next-gen-exclusive Injustice. I don't follow the fighting scene much, but I don't recall hearing about Injustice being super popular. So, if Sony wants to make a splash in that realm, an established franchise like Street Fighter could go a long way.

From browsing Reddit it appears that anyone who preordered a game was sent an email with a unique code for the promo. A few who ordered two games were given codes for one free, those like myself who ordered one were given a b1g1 code, and IIRC a few who only ordered the systems were given b2g1 codes.

Looks like they're trying to get everyone who ordered something from them a b2g1 deal at the end.



My games are already either shipping or in process of, I should get two tomorrow and one the day after. I'm just curious though because the games I ordered have a street date of the 12th, and the console is the 15th does the console have launch day delivery or will I be waiting. Guess we'll find out Wednesday if they start sending out shipping notifications.

mine already shipped as well

i HIGHLY doubt that this is going to happen for the sheer fact that evo is going to be played on 360 consoles this next year, and it's the first time in the history of evo that it won't be running on sony consoles.

 

[Rage187]

I'd be psyched for a SF exclusive.

 

[purbeast0]

i'd only be psyched because that means i could get rid of the 360 from my current setup because sf4 will be the only reason i keep it hooked up. that is, if it's ultra sf4.

 

[KeithTalent]

Exclusive or not, I just want SF4 on the PS4. That would be great.

My copy of Knack shipped yesterday, so that's exciting. Only a handful of days until I can actually play it!

I'm... not sure how EVO matters from a business standpoint. I'm talking about Sony needing an exclusive fighting game that is popular. Given that Dead Rising 3 is a XBOX-One-exclusive game, Capcom already has already established that they'll "sell out" a franchise. Why not sell out another one?

EDIT:

Unless you're trying to suggest that wouldn't work because EVO will be using 360s and they would need USF4 on the 360 because of that. Keep in mind that I'm mostly surmising that it won't be on the X1 (next-gen exclusive for PS4). Being on the 360 or PS3 is probably a given since those consoles already have the original SSF4:AE ... and the original-original SF4.

because capcom is a HUGE part of evo, and evo is the biggest fighting game tourney by a long shot in the usa. it could potentially be a huge negative towards capcom from the us audience viewpoint.

it isn't a coincidence that the same year ms is the console provider for evo that an exlusive fighter that could potentially be huge is an xbox1 exclusive.

and you mention capcom selling out - i don't see them selling out in this case because that means lost $$. it's clear that capcom only cares about the money, and unless sony is paying them 10s of millions of dollars in lost sales for an xbox1 version of the fighter, i strongly doubt they will make a sony exclusive game.

potentially i could see them doing a timed exclusive though. but capcoms history is that they are all about the money. i could be totally off though lol, it's all just speculation on my part and knowledge of the fgc.

You said EVO was being held using XBOX 360s, so why would USSF4 being on the 360, PS3 and PS4 be a problem? Sure, it might tick off a few X1 owners, but that's about it. People at EVO will still be able to use it since it would be released on the 360.

I don't think selling out inherently includes losing money. Normally it just becomes a beneficial arrangement for both parties whether that includes money just depends on the situation. For example, Microsoft probably paid to have Dead Rising 3 end up as a X1-exclusive game. I don't see any other reason why they wouldn't release it on the PS4 given Dead Rising 2 was multi-platform.

Here's an interesting bit from Dead Rising 3's Wikipedia page:

The game was revealed as originally being developed with high-end PCs in mind so the team could realise their expanded vision for the series, before Microsoft offered to partner with them for it to become an Xbox One launch exclusive.

Looking at more of the page, Microsoft is the publisher for the game, which means they most likely funded the development. I think the only difference is the importance of the series as Dead Rising is far less important than staples such as Street Fighter. Although, we saw what Capcom did with Mega Man (i.e. nothing! ), so who knows what they're going to do next.

EDIT:

To note, I don't want you to think that I think it's a given that it will be a PS4 exclusive. I simply think there's a good possibility that it could be.

 

[purbeast0]

oh yeah when you said "ps4 exclusive" i wasn't even thinking about 360 and ps3, so duh on that lol.

i still don't think it will happen though. another hint (hint to me at least) that it wouldn't is that madcatz has a fight stick coming to the x1 at launch and doesn't even have it lined up to be coming out on the ps4 (yet, i'm sure it will). i'm pretty sure madcatz and capcom have a very tight relationship as well, and having the game on both consoles will help out both companies more in the long run.

i actually think that the te2 coming out so early at launch is a hint that capcom is working on something that will be out on x1 at some point in the near future. and if it's on x1, i believe it will be on ps4 as well.

 

[Aikouka]

IGN posted a notice that all PS4 reviews will be released on Wednesday at 6 AM PST.

USSJ4 could give them a good reason to create a PS4 variant of the TE2.

If I remember correctly, that comes out tomorrow.

What does this app supposedly do?

Also Evo announced that for the 2014 tourney season that the Xbox 360 had been chosen as the official platform. So it may behoove Sony to attempt to gain exclusive rights to Ultra Street Fighter 4 but I honestly do not see that happening. Not that it would matter as the game is going to be on PS3/360 anyhow. As for selling out a game (referring to dead rising 3 on XB1) they have not announced whether Deep Down will be on XBox One and speculation is that it will be PS4 exclusive.

i'd only be psyched because that means i could get rid of the 360 from my current setup because sf4 will be the only reason i keep it hooked up. that is, if it's ultra sf4.

Same for my PS3.

It's pretty much the equivalent of Microsoft's XBOX app. You should be able to chat with your friends, buy stuff from the PSN Store and tell your device to download it.

I got an email from Sony entertainment saying my password has been updated. Weird I never requested that, can't be good.

even in 1080p, that video does not do fifa justice as far as graphics go. the graphics look MUCH better in person than it does in that video.

I have played Fifa on the PS4 interactive and the compression definitely takes away from the game's overall clarity. STill, the game received a very high score as sports games go. Can't wait to see what NBA 2k14 gets and next year MLB The Show which looks stunning compared to the PS3. Hair actually sways as a player moves and there's over 1,000 unique models for the crowd vs a mere 42 on the PS3.

The difference side by side is amazing to me. Granted there are some blocky areas and aliasing going on but the difference in clarity and everything is readily apparent even at this early stage.

Hot damn, that is the biggest diff between current and next gen I've seen for any of the cross-gen titles.

The Show 14 just became an instant must buy for me now. I thought 13 would hold me over a couple years.. but not anymore.

Anyone have screen shots of the differences for Madden on PS3/PS4? Doubt I'd make the upgrade this year unless someone decides to do the $10 upgrade like the One has anyways.

I can't find any Madden comparisons. Even searching for screenshots nothing is labeled as being PS3/360 and PS4/XB1 at all.

 

[Aikouka]

Hmm... supposedly, Sony will be doing quite a bit at their launch party on Thursday. Jeff Keely said that they will also be announcing a new game as well as showing off more stuff for existing games. IGN said there will be a live stream for it as well!

That'd be pretty sweet if I could buy the ps+ games on my phone. I'll get a ps4 some day, so I'll keep ps+ and make sure to buy anything released on my account when I can.
