The game is indeed great but thereīs one thing i noticed in your pics DS.... for some reasons on my puter the characters looks better while the one you posted looks like the xbox 360 version... am using the standard settings for my pc... are you using the standard one or a higher one???? because the characters and the game looks better on mine judging by the pics just wondering tho because you have a better GPU than mine but am playing at 1920x1200. maybe am wrong dunno .

My gpu is only powerful enough to run the game at that with all setings except AA maxed!!

AA is set to 4x, so maybe that could be the reason!

Other then that the res is set to 1680x1050 and all other settings are maxed and I don't use the filters as I like the original arcade look!

In around 2 weeks I shall be upgrading my gpu to a 285GTX so it should look even better then!

I wish Namco would release a PC version of SoulCalibur, or SEGA could release Virtua Fighter 5 or 6 to PC in the future.

The PC needs WAY more fighters for it!

agree 100% there... SoulCalibur would rock on PC but sadly itīs all about market mate.. if SF4 is a success they will probably do it. also many companies such as nintendo and Sony make those games exclusives so they wonīt show up in Windows.

Exactly! I am hoping that SF4 will prove that PC gamers do like some of the console fighters and that they do in fact have a market that is almost entirely dry of the genre up to this point!

Can SF4 bring a revolution of 1 on 1 fighters to PC akin to the SF glory days of the mid 90's?? (Oh, How I miss them!)

Only time can tell! (But is probably 95% a pipe dream)

IF YOU LIKE FIGHTERS AND WANT TO SEE GAMES LIKE TEKKEN ETC... DEVELOPED FOR PC THEN BUY SF4. Prove there is a market with your dollars! I believe honestly that if gamers money is spent on quality games like SF4 then the companies will take notice!

I believe that Namco, SEGA and others are prob watching how this game sells!

Great review DS!

The last SF I played was SF2 on the Genesis. I enjoyed it a lot and played it for years. For some reason I never bothered to play SF3, but this sounds good. Will probably pick it up some time.

Just made a discovery that my graphics drivers were 4 months out of date. (March Update)

So I updated them and was able to get FAR better performance.

Old settings were everything max except res at 1680x1050 and the AA at a measly 4x.
Now everything is max at 1920x1200 except for the AA which is set to C16xAA



The rating says that I can turn settings higher as can be seen, but only one thing can go higher and that is the AA to C16xQ but this drops me to 5 fps.
Right now I get a constant 60fps with the action slowing to 50-55fps during Ultra Combo's!

See my OP for updated pics that were taken at the new settings and just plain look better!

If you have a 360 that has a hard drive, the Street Fighter Anniversary for the XBOX is backwards compatible on the 360. It has Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and Hyper Street Fighter, both are very good games. There is a PS2 version as well, but I don't know if it will play on the PS2 emulator or if it is any good...?

lol I just realized a major problem here. I only play FPS and racing games, and find the keyboard and mouse to be optimal for playing them, but I'm fairly convinced playing games like this with keyboard & mouse will be a major head-ache....all I have are 2 old PS2-like gamepads which don't even have analog or dual-shock.

And it'd be rather pointless to buy a game-pad solely to play SF4....especially when I don't play any other games of this genre.

Your 2 old pads will be fine, analogue is not required and rumble is passable as well!

Pull out those old controllers and Ha-Do-Ken away!

I purchased it for the PC, but I can't see why someone who has the 360 would want to purchase the PC version, at least that was what I said to Samor.

Still I want to see the PC version sell quite well...

I want more games like this on the PC...Too bad King of Fighters XII won't be one, but they did remove Mai...

If they did release a PC version, I can see it now, pay $5 extra and we'll add Mai! ROTFLMAO

didnt test it on PCSX2, but it's great. I imported it from the US because it wasn't available in Europe.

...as long as she's also released as downloadable content on 360, I'm fine with it

Why don't you just use that? As long as it has enough buttons and a comfortable d-pad, i don't see why not. I'm using a PS2 controller with the PC adaptor, works great.

I'd do it if i needed to, it's really worth it, but then again i just love Street Fighter to death. Been playing it since the old arcade days in the 90's.

I play it this way as well, although I have 2 for some multiplayer goodness! (In the next month or so I will be pulling apart both ps2 controllers and will construct a large dual arcade stick for use with the game!

Just gotta go to the arcade and get the parts I need! But I will show pics and show the process I went through in a thread on the site!

I agree 100% with this but I also must add that every pc owner that likes fighters MUST buy this game if they want other fighters to appear on PC.

I guarantee Namco (Or any other company for that matter) would take notice and release a SouilCalibur/Tekken for PC if they felt it would be profitable to them!

We need to show them that there is a 1 on 1 fighter market on pc that deserves to be tapped!
