Probably very little or nothing at all. They helped with the development, that's how they got the deal.

Exactly.  Most of SF's market this gen is heavily dominated by the PS4 so it probably didn't take much to get this done.  Marketing, bundles, and some development help is totally enough.

 

As for RE, I mean it isn't that hard to port something to Vita, and it will sell really well in Japan.  Sony probably convinced them it would profit on its own and help them a little.


Of course it's hard to port to the Vita. Look at Borderlands 2! It was downgraded just to work on Vita!


Any game ported to a less powerful system needs "downgrading". However I'd love to see any examples you can provide of equalivalent technical software on other portable devices? Can't actually think of any huge Story Driven FPS games with Online Co-op on other devices.

Sony gave Capcom all they have. A shit tonne of debt, and the ability to loose a ridiculous amount of money. I'm suprised Capcom didn't give more in return for those extraordinary gifts!

/s ( it's sarcasm.... Partly...)

More than likely they just agreed to publish it and pay for development. Similar deal to Nintendo monster hunter and MS dead rising 3.

You know what, I don't want to argue anymore.

That probably has something to do with your arguments being terrible.

They helped the development just like they are helping in game engine of Deep down so there is close collaboration between them instead of just paying money to remove Xbox version. But tomb raider is money hat by paying to take the PS4 and PC versions and only doing Xbox one and 360 versions.

Yeah, cause it's not like MS is helping develop the game and pay for marketing and publishing or anything.

I'd much love to see a lot of concrete evidence to show that Sony are "helping" capcom with SFV development, as in the whole deal for it to be equally compared to what Nintendo did with Bayo 2 because right now it hardly seems that way since Bayo 2 wouldn't of actually happened at all without Nintendo's help yet SFV would happen 100% even without Sony's help, it's not 100% the same exact deal and situation at all.


Not same but a much better deal, PS4 is the console of this gen.  Capcon can see this and is going all for PS4 as it will cost them almost no sales over all whiel ill help with dev by having Sonys support.  They picked the right horse to bank on this gen.

Skipping out on Xbox this gen will cost them millions of sales. They'd be pretty dumb to do so without some sort of compensation  from Sony. Exclusivity for a huge franchise like Street Fighter is a big deal.

Also, I'm not buying the whole cross play excuse. This isn't an MMO. there's no reason why Xbox gamers can't just play with themselves, like they've been doing for the past decade. 


We've been living in a global world for some time now.  Isolation is a poor excuse to defend a company.

I recon they paid a few million, but told capcom they can have a larger chunk of the revenue when the game actually comes out.

Saying they 'funded' this and funded that is just spinning it.... lets face it, SF (as well as other games which capcom made exclusive) were not going to be killed off, they just want to profit from the war between the platform holders and get a better deal for themselves overall.

Yes, and Xbox is a global brand. Xbox users can play with eachother all over the world.
