*sigh*
It's inevitable that I'll get this but I hope that a PC version is announced soon, I don't want to end up buying 2 copies again :(
I like the idea of the spectator mode, that should be great, even better if watching the top player means you're watching someone who earned it. #streetfighteriv

I think its safe to buy this one if you are a true fan though because Ono even stated that the team is lucky to be making this. I doubt we will see another one unless it sells as much as the original or surpasses it. Otherwise I think Capcom will be happy with the cash they have made and then they will move on.
Even if they do make another one this one has so many added features to justify its purchase. How can you not be giddy after watching that trailer? #streetfighteriv

Costumes? Come on, thats not worth 4 bucks to me. They could have at least offered much more costumes per character. And the one thing that should have been DLC, Super Street Fighter IV, is being released as a new game.
And of course, RE5. Multiplayer should have been budgeted. I dont dig their cheap excuse. #capcom

Honestly, I think Capcom has one of the best DLC stratagies so far.
Is it really surprising that part of there strategy would be listed as "develop DLC" OMGWTFBBQ?!
The best part of what Capcom does, is they keep DLC as addintional content. Stuff that is not required for the full ratial relase.
With both RE5 and SFIV the dlc dosent really add or subtract anything from the retail release. If I want more costumes, I have that choice. But if I don't buy them I'm not missing out. Now allot of people argue that the costumes where in arcades, thus should have been in the retail version. But at the same time you also have to consider that the costumes could have very well been developed as DLC that was thrown into the arcade as "bonus content". And considering the arcade unit is worth close to 30k, I would see a stronger argument saying SFIV should have retailed for 360/PS3 for over 1k, then arguing the costumes should have been free.
Same goes with RE5. You can't argue that the vs mode is anything but an "extra feature". And you couldn't argue it was anywhere close to necessary for the retail. So is it that surprising that during development they decided to start work on a vs mode for people that would be interested, as a separate project for DLC?
I just think there are business that have offered much worse DLC then Capcom. Such as the practices that Halo/Call of Duty/etc. take. Where they put out "addons" such as map-packs, that become a requirement if you want to continue to play online, and have the same options. #capcom

My opinion on this type of thing changes every day and swivels between one and the other. On one hand I'm grateful that I can go online on SFIV (though unfortunately I don't have it yet _) and not be treated with playing only half the current online gamers because they're playing with some addon content that I haven't bought. On the other hand, I feel uneasy having developers remove things like costumes from the game and making them DLC. It's a pickle, I tell ya! #capcom

I just called that Capcom has shady DLC practices, and that they are out to nickel and dime the consumer as much as possible. It's a condemnation of a new SF that has to be purchased a year later, the $20 costume pack for SF IV, and the inevitable DLC for SSF IV.
I'm calling that Capcom is out to rip you off as long as people defend them and support their shady "DLC/one year later 0.5 sequel," model.

And this has been stated before, but the costume pack money went toward funding the CE upgrade (which was awesome). I didn't buy this costume pack, but I like it that others thought they were necessary for gameplay! :) Even if they lied about that, It's not like everyone spent (or was required to spend) all that unnecessary money on those unnecessary outfits.

"The five alternate costume packs will be sold by theme for 320 Microsoft Points on the 360 or $4 on the Playstation 3 and will be released over the course of a month.
• 2/17 – Brawler Pack DLC Pack will include alternate costumes for: Zangeif, E.Honda, Rufus, El Furete, and Abel.
• 2/24 – Femme Fatale Pack will include alternate costumes for: Chun-Li, Cammy, Sakura, Rose, and C.Viper.

That's $20.

Again, it's not like the costume packs added anything to the game, like the Championship Edition DLC, which did add to the game, and was free, to boot!
And no, Championship Mode was not released at the same time as the costume packs. The last costume pack was released on March 17 in America, and the Championship Mode add-on went live on April 24.

PC is still waiting for the SF4 DLC. Albeit, we DONT need them due to texture editing but i'd like to swap between costumes in-game instead of swapping texture files each time i want to use another costume. #capcom

PC sales were pretty terrible. You guys might not even get SSFIV.
Besides, you guys can MAKE your own costumes, and there was only one costume er character available in the official DLC. Only a few of them were any good, too. #capcom
10/30/09
it wouldn't have sold well regardless, fighting games on PC usually don't have a huge market unless you have a good controller on the ready. My shitty one is good for playing emulators but not anything like the ps3 controller... I tried SF4 on PC and deleted a few hours later, that's how wack it could be. I still think it sucks that they charge console gamers that much for DLC, I mean cmon... its a texture, changing it takes like no time at all if the design is already done. #capcom
