[xKILLERSTALKERx]

it was due to its sound

The alternative costumes look alright though.

Free Street Fighter IV 'Championship Mode' DLC, costume pack pricing announced

source: ps3fanboy

Chun Li; Mai called, she wanted her dress back!

Expected to hit shortly after the game's release, the add-on will introduce three significant features aimed at hardcore players. Replay Mode is pretty much what it sounds like: share recorded matches, watch top-ranked ones and vote for your favorites. The enhanced tournament matching system will deliver "improved tournament match making for beginners and mid-level players," with Capcom explaining that "competitors earn Grade Points (GP) to earn entry into more advanced tournaments." Finally, there will be two new point systems -- Championship and Tournament -- for measuring player skill.

the paid dlc will be released every week, has one costume per person and is priced at $4 for the psn and 320 points on xbla:

02/17/09 -- Brawler Pack will include alternate costumes for: Zangief, E.Honda, Rufus, El Fuerte and Abel.

02/24/09 -- Femme Fatale Pack will include alternate costumes for: Chun-Li, Cammy, Sakura, Rose and C.Viper.

03/03/09 -- Shoryuken Pack will include alternate costumes for: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken and Dan.

03/10/09 -- Shadowloo Pack will include alternate costumes for: Seth, M.Bison, Sagat, Balrog and Vega.

03/17/09 -- Classic Pack will include alternate costumes for: Guile, Dhalsim, Fei-Long, Blanka and Gen.

well, sf4 is almost upon us.

the first batch of reviews are in, these from ign:

ign: 93

Street Fighter IV is a fantastic game overall and Capcom should be commended for designing a game that can work on so many levels by appealing to both casual and hardcore players. I'll admit that when I first heard I was reviewing Street Fighter IV, I wasn't terribly excited. I suppose I just didn't think much of it. But as I played and experimented with each character, fighting a variety of the IGN folks and learning something new with every match, I realized just how irrevocably deep fighting games -- and Street Fighter games in particular -- really are. I encourage everyone to give Street Fighter IV a try, even if you're relatively new to the fighting game scene. There's so much depth to the gameplay that you'll be rewarded long after your purchase. And with that, I'll leave you with the mandatory... Hadoken!

ign uk: 95
ign au: 90

currently it's meta-criticing at 95.

i'll be getting the game by tonight! so i'll be posting my impressions pretty soon.

 

[Desolator]

Is it out on the PS3 as well?

BTW does the region matter in SF4 as well? I mean servers wise.

 

[Bad Mofo]

^ my dude here in lahore's giving me the eu version for the ps3. that's what i'm gonna get it for.

and server wise? i don't think matchmaking will be a problem. just the dlc that i'm worried about.

 

[SolitarySoldier]

so i just got it from manigamer...(drove 60 kilometers in heavy rain to get it )

couldn't get installed due to dirty disc error...

runs just fine though.

anyways....here are my quick impressions.

1.The environments are really impressive.
2.The AI is tough even on easy difficulty.
3.The moves aren't easily to pull off.
4.The characters are superb.
5.There is ofcourse a storyline and it's good


this ofcourse in only just based on a hour of gameplay...

will post more later if i come across something more.

quick rating(8.5/10)

To b a PC gamer u need to get an hold on to some waiting time as PC games are always a bit late as compared to console releases. So there would be one too but it only needs some anticipated waiting.

What about the new characters guys? Which one is the best among them? I heard Abel is fun to play with.

FUN???lol if you mean fun i.e in terms of how much he whoops your ass well then he's heck of a lotta fun to play with.Seriously he's one wicked baskurd who grapples you every friggin chance he gets.Luckily,i brought him to the corner and had him have a taste of his own medicine.

*yoda voice*

"very dangerous,he is"

IMO...the toughest one that i've encountered uptil now.

Oh and the new things discovered are that there are many many new ways to do hadoukens and other attacks...there is a focus attack aswell as the traditional throws.Timing is the key here....old street fighter champs will need to learn this game from if not scratch then somewhat again as there as many many new things.
