Capcom has released a new trailer for Ultra Street Fighter IV showing off gameplay for four of the five new characters
Capcom announced Ultra Street Fighter 4 during Evo 2013. The update will introduce five new characters, six additional stages, new modes and features.
Four of the five characters have been confirmed as: Rolento, Poison, Hugo and Elena (pictured below). The fifth character, who has “never been in a Street Fighter game before”, remains unannounced. The six new stages include Pitstop 109, Mad Gear Hideout, Cosmic Elevator, Blast Furnace, Half Pipe, and Jurassic Era Research Facility.
Ono also recently said he’s not currently working on a new Street Fighter game for Xbox One and PS4 as he doesn’t currently have the research and development budget or the staff.
When the XBox One was revealed at E3 earlier this month, many details were revealed about the console that caused widespread criticism of the console by both players, press and gaming journalists alike. I’m sure by now you’ve read the myriads of articles about it; but if not, here’s a quick recap: The console would require an internet connection every 24 hours to check validity of licences to play any games stored on the console (possibly being unusable for gaming if a connection could not be established); used games could only be transferred to a new owner once; reactivating a third-hand game would cost a fee and games could not be resold for less than 90% of their original value (meaning buying used games could end up MORE expensive than buying them new); and so on.
After soon being followed by Sony’s announcement of the PS4 allowing full sharing of disk-based games just by giving the game away like you would do today, lack of online requirement and £100 lower price tag, Microsoft were looking like real losers in this year’s “console wars” (an endearing term given by the media to explain the concept of gaming consoles battling for control of the market by selling the most consoles). Even Nintendo got a pot shot in, with Satoru Iwata revealing in an interview his view on controlling the trade of used games:
“The best possible countermeasure against people buying used product is making the kind of product that people never want to sell. Taking as an example Mario Kart or Smash Bros., even though you might think, ‘I’ve done enough with this,’ you’ll still have second thoughts. ‘Wait a minute. If one of my friends comes over, I might need this again.’ You’re never going to want to sell these games. That’s something that always occupies our minds. We need to make software that players don’t want to sell.“
It seems Microsoft have finally thrown in the towel and admitted their plans to control usage of their console AND trade of used games just isn’t going to work. On Wednesday, in an official posting on XBox Wire, Microsoft announced a complete reversal of their strategy, ditching the online requirement and removing control over used games.
