    Anyone have feedback on this yet?

    I have a Dell Inspiron i7 w/ 960m, and am trying to decide whether to pick the game up on Steam or PS4.

    I'd rather buy the Steam version, but with the PS4 I know it will work. Unlike most games, 60fps is important.

    Would be interested to hear peoples experiences.

    You should go PS4 unless the 960M you have will overclock like a beast.

    I really hate to be the parrot here but... if you want the best experience from Street Fighter V, you have to go console. That's not because the 960M can't handle it (with the right optimization, the 960M can kill the graphics capability of the PS4 and Xbox One), its because these games have ALWAYS been arcade and console games. You can find people years and years after the game comes out to fight against on multiplayer on a console but the PC version? Dead in a few months. These games are tailor made for console controllers and while you can use both on PC (I was playing IV with my PS4 controller just last night), you miss out on a lot of the actual experience as it was intended.

    Yeah, that's fair enough.

    I actually played SFIV on PS3 last gen, complete with every fightstick and fightpad under the sun.

    Unfortunately, I have significantly less 1 on 1 time with the TV nowadays, hence why I've been gradually moving to laptop gaming.

    The ability to prop my laptop up on the bench and play a couple rounds of SF5 outweighs the simplicity of getting it for PS4 (plus I have a pad which I know will work on the laptop).

    However, I've been hearing that the game is much more demanding than I'd like. I'm really not too worried about the 1080p (720p would be fine), but the 60fps is a non-negotiable, obviously.

    Be really interested to hear some feedback if anyone's been able to try it :)

    I have not played it yet but if a) you're not upset about giving up multiplayer and b) you're willing to tweak around with graphics settings, then c) Capcom has an amazing track record for PC optimization comes into play.

    Want an example?

    View attachment 131936 (sorry, it won't let me zap a fullscreen but this is the result on max settings in the benchmark)

    View attachment 131937 (again, won't let me do fullscreen)


    These are max in-game settings... Compare that to most ports...

    Street Fighter 5 is cross platform with PS4 players through the Capcom network. So the idea that it'll be dead in a few months is now not the case (which is a welcomed feature)

    Game is cross platform though. PS4 plays with PC.

    As would I. Maybe in a few months when PC is actually a version and not a console title running on windows (you can't. freaking. rebind. keyboard. binds. WAT.), then I'll recommend it.

    I wish gamers would go through the hassle of refunding games that suck on launch and buying them IF they are fixed.

    The game should have native support for both PS4 and Xbox One controllers out of the box so there is no need to use a keyboard. Even SFIV does on PC... Without the need for drivers... Unless that's Steam giving my SFIV Ultra access to my PS4 controller...

    I don't buy any games these days that aren't either from GOG, Steam, or digital on my consoles. Especially with the new 20% pre-order discount Amazon offers Prime members... 47.99 is cheap for a console game... And you been have either a week or two weeks after release to get that price so you don't actually have to pre-order a game that sucks.

    Well it only supports Xinput pads now, so no fight sticks for PS4 or PS4 controllers. And keyboard support should be mandatory for EVERY single PC game. Not everyone has controllers and I've seen people play really well on keyboard (myself included). Some even prefer it, for whatever reason.

    Also, SSF4 on launch wouldn't register my D900F's keyboard, and I had to set up the controller in the options menu, so I had to borrow the plug & play controller from the desktop, shove it into the laptop, log into the main menu, set up the controller to work, then return the keyboard to the desktop and use the controller from then on until they patched that crap out. Believe me, I've seen my fair share of crapcom crap that people seem to forget. Every time they release a new PC title, especially a street fighter one, they break something that wasn't broken on-launch in the last title. They're not bloody serious.

    Even if they eventually fix things, the point is that on launch people have problems throughout the wazoo. It shouldn't be like that, especially since the game is clearly unfinished. Always online single player, lack of arcade mode or story mode, credits for a store that does not work yet... yeah no.

    Some people make the valid point that they're not refunding because either they're just using an Xbox controller/fight stick from the get go, or use X360CE anyway, or use things like the scarlet crush drives and DS4windows (I think that's the name of it) on their PS controllers and don't care, or that they know they'd simply re-buy it later on after it's fixed, and that's too much hassle for them. But still, I just wish people would actually speak with their wallets more and stop accepting half-finished, broken titles just because they want to play it. It's not like Capcom said "hey, we're releasing this thing broken cuz deadlines, but we'll fix it soon ok?" (which would prompt many people to state they should just delay it, but at least they'd be transparent about it) or anything. It's not like they had no prior experience for releasing on the platform or anything. It's just stupid.

    People should buy when things work and return if it doesn't work. Maybe then people would actually work on titles. I'm starting to notice that the most high profile titles that EVERYBODY wants to play usually are the most broken on launch, but people play them anyway. See: 90% of ubish*t titles, every single bugthesda title, etc. The ones that come out the most stable are the ones that don't have a big guarantee of a bunch of rabid fans willing to brave any issue to fix things. Payday 2 on launch was great, though the game mechanics themselves could have done with a rework (balance-wise). Dark Souls 2 and SOTFS really did their homework and they improved each time. Valkyria Chronicles had a fantastic port, except for this one point where I can't walk up somewhere unless at 30fps, but the rest of the game is fine.

    But no, Assassin's Moneybags? Each game more broken. CoD post-BO2? Broken, with BO3 being the crown jewel. Bugthesda's library? Broken. SF V with all its resounding hype? Even PS4 people are complaining it's broken. Mortal Kombat X? Brokeeeeennnnn.

    I have the flu and I'm considering buying the game to see if the controller issues are BECAUSE of third party drivers... It was said a long time ago that Steam games that have controller support will break if you use a third party tool. First off, Xbox controllers are supported as joysticks by the OS itself. Witcher 3 is a GOG game and when I plug in my Xbox One controller, everything in the UI changes the buttons to reflect the Xbox options. It does not, however, recognize my PS4 controller without DS4Tool but that doesn't bug me because that tool also lets me use the TouchPad on the controller like a mouse... So basically I can sit in my chair and do everything I would normally be forced to use multiple devices for.

    The problem is I don't want to get stuck with a game so have you actually used the refund feature? Because I want it for PS4... After I get around to reviews... Because 47.99 or not, of the reviews suck I don't want it... Amd you're talking to a Chun Li lemme get you in the corner and you're dead just because I feel like you've annoyed me with your big talk player...

    Steam games have never had problems with third party drivers. I've used both Scarlet Crush + PS3 and X360CE with a PS2 pad before and games have no issues. Don't worry about that bit. I know Xbox controllers are supported by the OS itself, but it's the way they're used. Xinput is their device input method, where there is a Z axis on the triggers (so it isn't a "button") and the "d-pad" is read as the left analog stick. DirectInput is the method most other controllers use, including Logitech pads and PS2 controllers.

    Edit: The forum broke, sorry. I was saying to you that I never used the refund feature, but it works fine, and that it returns money to your steam wallet not your credit card.

    That's expensive.. I pay about £55-60 a month for TV/Broadband/Landline.. This is though for the basic packages with 50Mbps broadband and basic TV channels..

    They offered me 79.99 a month for 24 months but if I'm paying for cable, I want all the premium channels... Which I now have... Base package is 169.99... We just have two boxes including the DVR and a whole lot of taxes here.

    Broadband + decent HD cable package in US is expensive. I have four HD boxes with one as central DVR, and 150/100 internet and I pay about $170/mo with taxes. But that's on the two year plan. After two years it will probably jump $50 or more.

    I removed that link since it goes to pirated software. Nobody will help you with pirated software around here. There is no Mac version FYI.
