I think the graphical style in this game could have as large an impact as Cel shading had in it's heyday. This game looks exquisite.

stoked, but mildly perplexed, at a PC release for this. BG&E2 skips the PC, but this doesn't? Go figure...

lol@DFawkes ... AINT THAT THE TRUTH. It would suck if they didn't implement a cage style stage again geared towards the boss ... that's what made him interesting in the first place back in SF II. As for the other aspects of the game, even though I seriously hate what they've done to Chun-Li manly exterior, the game is slowly growing on me. The lag, well, lets just say that I've played enough Tekken 5 DR on PS3 and experienced some seriously f'd up shit.

an ellipsis is a mark or series of marks, he'd not have needed three of them.

Strange hearing a developer basicly say 'the controls are shite on the 360'.

PS3 for this one then I guess.

Attacks on shoulder buttons = fail anyway. Needs an arcade stick.

My main ememory of playing SF with a d-pad is a sore and blistered left thumb. I would prefer to use the analogue stick to avoid that, but I can understand how some games are easier to control with the d-pad (eg. Pro Evo for me).

P.S. "Guacamole Throw" that had better be a joke

That's exactly why I hate the PS controllers - they've always been terrible for Street Fighter. I find the D pad quite awkward and unresponsive too, but I think that's just me? I prefer the xbox style generally, but it's definitely worse than the PS ones for Street Fighter. Good oppertunity for Capcom to sell some official SFIV joysticks.

Playing this with a 360 pad is madness. That thing's not good enough to navigate menus.

"The 360 provides a bit of a unique challenge"

i.e. a broken D-pad. The controller is broken for d-pad based games, unless it is modded.

They should REALLY make and release a Sega Saturn-esque pad for the 360. It already happened for the Playstation 2 a couple of years back.

It'd make all the difference.

I'm so glad this is based on SF2 rather than SF3. For as much as SF3 brought to the table in terms of polishing the mechanics, there was something very unlikeable about a lot of the character designs, so that even now I much prefer SFA3 over SF3. I only hope Cammy returns...

Wait, Street Fighter has a story? Who'd have thought! No, honestly? I thought it was just "choose character, kick living snot out of everyone who steps up". Story?!?


Amazing.

Indeed, the PS3 pad will win out on this one. SF2 on XBA is horrid thanks to the pad.

SHORYUKEN ftw.

There's a story?

Hmmm, this is a bit worrying. I play my PS2 Street Figfhters with a stick, not with a pad and I am really used to the stick. So I would really prefer to use a stick on my 360. The d-pad on that controller is crappy anyway so....... Hopefully he means that they will support both, pad and stick.... Or release a controller to go along with the game....

"In a fighting game like this, an analogue stick is not necessarily the way to go" he says - am I missing something? Surely arcade sticks are analogue?

Whatever - there are far greater barriers to me playing this well, including my utter cackhandedness at fighting games. I'm really looking forward to getting completely destroyed on Xbox Live.

Nope, I think arcade sticks are digital in 8 directions only.
