So? Street Fighter isn't exactly a very budget intensive game, or at least shouldn't be. Also, Capcom is making a killing in Japan over Monster Hunter.

Sony isn't in the best shape to be moneyhatting right now either.

Even though SF isn't budget intensive, Capcom still didn't have money to fund it:

As for Sony they have more than enough resources to fund SF V, but whether they should have spent their money somewhere else is their decision.

And Sony is hemoragging money in many of its departments. Sony has some money, yes, and it is their decision on where they should spend it. Personally I believe investing in a new IP would be ideal, but Sony apparently disagrees.

If Capcom didn't have the budget last October, they should have waited to see the sales on Monster Hunter this year. They certainly have some cash now.

Either way, great aquisition by Sony. Not one that I personally agree with or support, but hopefully it will pay dividends for them.

How many new IP's would Sony come out with? They've invested in more new IP's than MS and Nintendo combined in the last few years, and some of them bombed pretty hard despite being very good (like Tearaway). With an established IP like SF, they have many advantages.

SF has a huge fanbase which would now either go to PS4 or PC now with SF V, and now Sony have a console exclusive fighter which is also a part of Evo tournaments. Just like MS saw ROTTR as an answer to UC4, I think Sony saw SF V as the answer to KI.

Where do you guys get off thinking SFV is low-budget? Not even a PORT of SFIV could be done. Obviously a full blown sequel is even more expensive.

Well, as much as this is a feather in Sony's cap, I would've preferred a new Capcom vs SNK. I'm really not a fan of the SFIV art style, and really loved the KoFXIII engine. Don't really care that it's exclusive though, I'd naturally assumed most people played it on Playstation anyway, because the Xbox's d-pad blows in comparison (though, serious players make/buy their own joystick controller).

And many more of them were downright mediocre or terrible. No, what I was hoping for was a new Sony IP that they invested greatly in, not just a one-off project with minimal funding.

But yes, I've already said, it was a great move by Sony and one that will bring them money in the long run through sales. As a consumer though, it hurts.

A few of them were mediocre like Sorcery and Beyond: Two Souls. But the majority were good/very good like Driveclub (I know you think otherwise of this game, but its easily one of my favourite arcade racing games of the decade), Tearaway, Puppeteer and many others.

As I said they came out with many new IP's which haven't sold well. MS and Nintendo should come up with them more often, not Sony. Also why does it hurt you? You don't have a PS4?

Rumors from "insiders" are that Sony had a hand in the funding of this.

I spent most of this morning playing USFIV with friends, we are all really excited for SFV. Both of them are XBox fans and they seemed a bit upset but brushed it aside because they want to get into PC gaming at one point anyways.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

There's no actual gamaplay yet.

it should be interesting to see all the new things

the game has to offer.



SnK0610 on 06 December 2014

Street fighter 5 should be very intersting.

Let's hope they add enough new things

To make the game worth buying.
