Grave Gamer News & Views — street fighter

The first live Street Fighter V match ever. Shout out to the devs for finally including udon noodles into the gameplay. It’s what fans have been truly demanding.

Holy shit, I love it. IT’S ON.

Street Fighter V: Cross-Play, Exclusivity, and Roman Numerals

Street Fighter V (and I think that’s Roman numeral five and not Vee — hate to specify but we live in a world where Mortal Kombat Ecks is a fucking thing) is coming exclusively to the PlayStation 4 and PC. And if it’s a timed exclusive, Capcom sure as shit isn’t saying so.

Two Japanese juggernauts, Sony and Capcom, joining forces makes a sobering kind of sense. Sony isn’t just dumping money onto the project like a Porsche driving Hollywood producer blowing through red lights on their way to a strip club. They’re actually assisting in development, ensuring SFV is a lean, mean, Hadoken firing machine on their console.

Sony’s own Adam Boyes insists the PS4 is the only console you’ll ever see Street Fighter V on, and if that truly remains a solemn fact, it’s a serious blow to Microsoft. A Focus Punch even. To go without the most popular fighting game franchise of all time? Goddamn. Let’s just say Killer Instinct Season Two ain’t where the thunder is.

PC people have a lot more to smile about, though. Not only are they getting the game at launch but they’ll be able to enact a Put Up or Shut Up policy against console players thanks to cross-play between the PS4 and PC. It’s a beautiful coalescence where two warring factions can finally come together and smack the stupid out of each other.

Street Fighter V Teaser Leaked… And It’s a PS4/PC Exclusive?!

A mere day before the first ever PlayStation Experience and already a bombshell announcement has cannon spiked its way onto the internet.

The original teaser, which tastefully shines a spotlight on the fighting game community, was spotted by — who else? — a NeoGAF user but has since gone private. I was going to link you to a mirrored version of the teaser featuring the above next-gen sparring session, but even that video has been pulled down while I was still typing this article up. The immediate copyright enforcement and the teaser’s high production values definitely lend to its credibility.

The shocker here isn’t that Street Fighter V exists; it’s the teaser’s bold proclamation that the sequel is exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and PC. This news having been ripped from the horse’s mouth, the horse in this case being Capcom, it’s difficult to ascertain what’s what and what’s not. More information to come as this story develops.

Till then, salivate over these GIFs Kotaku cooked up.
