The folks at Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry hooked up Street Fighter V and its predecessor to the same game controller and started playing.

Street Fighter V‘s Launch Sure Has Been a Bummer

On February 16th, Street Fighter V came out at a full price of $60. The big problem with that is Street Fighter V is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a fully finished game.
