Since this is Capcom we're talking about, a company that was totally okay with using decade old sprites in games to save money, I wonder if we'll get some dolled up SF4 models put into the game and sold as DLC?

You can't transfer the SF4 models to SF5 and doll them up, a lot has to be changed and at that point they're better off working from scratch

Not that the models would look good anyways

Yeah I'm sure the PC ecosystem is gonna make up the other 1.8 mil sales it needs when it's losing to a Naruto game which will make 2 mil worldwide

The US is one of the biggest places for the game to sell if it is already doing 210k and it's been out a month that does not bode well. Japan sales are probably going to be smaller too, the only place it could do significantly better is Europe, which it might but not enough to cover the costs. It will probably break a million on all skus worldwide maybe even 1.5 mil, it is not making 2 mil by the end of March short of a miracle though.

I'm honestly surprised it's doing this badly. Like why is the thing that made people say "Nah, I'm good." Just over saturation of fight games?

Probably should've delayed the game another year and not tried to release it with no content for people who don't play the game competitively instead of being like "Nah, we don't need to make a good first impression. Everything can come out after everyone's gotten sick of it." Ah well, lesson learned, hopefully they can take it into SFVI.

I was mostly joking because you think Capcom already knew how to release a fighting game since SFIV, Marvel, and SFxT all released with a sizeable roster of characters, modes, and "working" online, but I guess they just assumed they didn't need it this time? Speaking of SFxT I think they also projected that game to sell over 2 million by the end of March as well and that actually released in March?

Iunno they still made like 3 versions of SF3 so I mean I can't imagine them not trying at least a few more times to poo poo some money out of the franchise.

Games were different in the 90s, especially fighting games


bhsman posted:

Beyond the March update, Store, and Alex (and I know at least 2-3 people who are waiting on it because that's when the game is 'really' out), Story mode being released will probably drive some sales, too.

March is not going to churn out a million sales for them. I cannot say I'm surprised Capcom nested that cynical mentality for the people buying their games though.

I didn't play the new DMC, wasn't it recieved very poorly? Didn't play Bionic Commando or Dead Rising 3 either but I heard people didn't like 'em.

Also I loving love the poo poo out of Vampire Savior but so few people share that love and it breaks my heart :negative:

They claimed to want to appeal to the wider casual market and then before release announced that a real story mode wouldn't be inserted into the game until loving June. They didn't even have tutorials or trials that training mode warriors eat up in at launch, but at least those are coming this month I guess. There's also the months of people documenting nerf after nerf after nerf in the beta with far less buffs and optimistic things to say besides "maybe it'll end up ok" which I guess it might have if it had any of the depth of gameplay options people have come to expect from other series' releases.

Idk it just feels difficult to believe that casual players actually cared about most of this but I guess this does prove that you shouldn't just assume people are okay with how you release the game since Street Fighter is in the title

I doubt arcade mode is the sole reason. That being said trying to replace a traditional fighting game mode for no reason other than "oh we've got a story mode coming" is loving stupid. No one has ever complained about having an arcade mode ever and it offers simple single player content with little work other than having to make a boss fight and tack on a character specific ending.

Like it shouldn't be hard to make a single player mode that lets you run through a sizeable amount of the cast with some sort of reward that isn't painfully boring to play through like Survival or Character stories.

They have a story mode with character specific ending and some fights for every character. its basically arcade mode. actually its literally arcade mode

Those are non-endings, they don't do anything for any character with the exception of like Karin's and are just meant to hype up the story mode.

Like the fact that you can't change difficulty and that amount of fights change depending on character make it really separated from an actual arcade mode.

Strekken had a good arcade mode.

I guess they thought since Strekken was so badly received that no one liked opening and ending cutscenes with in between character banter and rival scenes.
