This is nice, it's more than 8 characters…but that means they will charge $40 for it? I mean, there is OBVIOUS refurbrished content taken from SFIV. Are we gonna pay for those again? well, thinking how capcom is…(I mean RE5 versus mode…)it wouldn't be crazy to think they're gonna charge $70 again.

Long life to Capcom!

Skullo would be like totally awesome, but since SFEX wasn't made by Capcom…I doubt we'll ever see anything out of that series in the main SF entries…
(on a sidenote, I really liked the game system of SFEX…too bad the graphics were terrible; it really hasn't aged well)

I'm glad it's not DLC, I think the way Capcom updates their SF games is fine.

And we need SF3 characters please. 3rd Strike was a continuation of normal 3 storywise, let this do the same thing for SFIV. Have it lead into SF3.

Maybe even give a character or two a Parry skill? Pretty please???

there will have to be a third version of sf4 as they refine the game with the 8 new characters. however, i don't see this as a bad thing. i would have preferred balancing limited to the current roster (a la vf5 and its multiple iterations), and new characters saved for a proper sequel, but i can deal.

they can't put haggar in because he's already there as zangief. when i first played sf2, i was amazed at how similar the moveset was. haggar was my favorite in ff, so i really enjoyed playing as zangief.

scott: Well, Capcom disolved Clover Studio so... It´s not easy to please them.

With how the things are, it seems as they need remakes of old titles to be satisfied.

SF3TS is more technical and needs more practice than SF2, therefore it wasn´t as well received for the main player base.

Fighting Jam is one title I have no knowledge of so I can´t say anything about it.

SF4 was a success as soon as they started saying that they used SF2 as the role model.

what fokk means is that, Ono is disliked within Capcom. Before SF4 Ono's other recent fighting game projects consisted of SF3 3rd Strike, and Capcom Fighting Jam, and both games were flops in terms of userbase adoption.

if sf4 wasn't a success, i guarantee that Inafune would have fired Ono in an instant.

Even though they said that, i personally don't believe that they ever planned it as DLC.

fokkusuhaundo: With Guilty Gear and other 2d fighters there was no need to "test anything". Had it been a new title, then more so. But with a classic series like Street Fighter? No need for testing there.

The 2.5D graphics sucks. Which is something I said from the very start. That doesn´t change the gameplay one bit.

So they have a budget constrain but they can make the same game and add all the previous characters and new moves and probably new outfits later on when they have sold it? Wouldn´t it be the same seat as before?

What Yoshinori had to go trough? With all the interviews and what not I´ve read about how SFIV started out? I know what he had to go trough.

And still, it amazes me it took Capcom so long to go back to SF2. Not that it is any bad idea but wow. Took them some time.

They had to test the waters first with the initial release of SF4 to see if a 2D style fighter could still sell and how the new gameplay mechanics in a 3D graphics engine would play out with the fans. That and the time and budget constraints was what probably prevented them from making the game with all of the features and characters they wanted to in the beginning. You don't even know what Yoshinori Ono had to go through just to convince Capcom invest his project.

What can I say? Sony said that PS2 backwards compability wasn´t something the customers wanted either...

It is ok with a new disc. Don´t get me wrong on that. And with how big the changes seems to be I can understand that they have to release it again.

But one thought of mind that I have: If they wanted to make the character rooster grow and make changes to the play wouldn´t they have thought about it from the beginning? If they didn´t intend to release a new version...

Oh well, I´m just overthinking this. Wonder what moves they have taken away from T. Hawk and DeeJay?

FYI they said they wanted to make this DLC only but had no choice to make it a separate disc because the content was too much to add to make it DLC only in terms of programming.
