SF 4 at any american arcades?

[Digitalbooty]

Any american arcades getting SF4? Is it even getting an official release here?

[Red_Coyote]

I believe it will probably come over here, but only at spots that still have major arcades. In the videos that Gametrailers took at E3, you can see that the win quotes are in english on those machines, so there is a possibility.

Yep thats a fact indeed FFA is definitely getting it I talked about it with the workers there. They may also get Arcana Heart 2 as well as Blazblue:woot: Where's my arcade stick at? lol

[Sonic Hedgehog]

Here's something we can all have a laugh at:

So I'm talking to one of my friends who still works for Tilt (yeah Tilt arcades, are you laughing yet?) who says that Tilt is still interested in getting newer games, yet rotating them out. He said that they would be getting some Tekken 6 machines that would be rotating around the surrounding states and eventually hit us for some time.

My point is, as long as the American SF4 release isn't some 10,000 dollar double HD screened pimped machine madness, they could get a few of them for the "rotating around" thing.

That might be my only chance to play this game before it's console release. But like I said, it is Tilt, so enjoy a laugh at my expense :rofl:

Don't know who that worker is. I do business with the previous manager (Arlieth) and the owner. I'm trying to strike a deal for them with Arc Systems to get them Blazblue as we speak. Arcana Hearts is probably not going to happen, that sounds more like a Denjin Arcade thing.

[MAGUS1234]

SVGL will rolly get it, MGL too. There was talks of SFSU getting it, but they were saying it would cost 3 tokens....arhg

[Henaki]

henry cen says sf4 is next on the agenda but im pretty sure he wont buy it until the pcb release happens, because cf has pretty much no room for 2 sets of H2H cabs.

word on the street is the BREAK, yes THE BREAK, 8 ON THE FUCKING BREAK might get it too. remember that the break is basically in business because of breaksteaks, high schoolers and their pool hall. its in assfucksville nj.

Hey all! Does anyone know of any major arcades in or around PA that might have a chance to get this? The only one I can think of as being a possible location is the Chinatown arcade in New York.

Anyone have any idea how much the PCB set is when it comes yet, or if you actually need more than one PCB to play head to head? I'll get one for my arcade in TN if it is feasible.

[PozerWolf]

Yeah, supposedly the place may open in Auguest or late July and should have SF4 up and running around late Auguest (or whenever it comes out for Arcade).

So yeah, large chance SF4 will be there and everyone in Austin (hell, Texas for that matter) are just waiting on a date of when the place will open.

Can't wait!! ;o

You need more than one PCB to play H2H. 4 PCBs come in the set and one has to be installed into each cab. Pretty gay if you ask me.

[Adam Warlock]

You need more than one PCB to play H2H. 4 PCBs come in the set and one has to be installed into each cab. Pretty gay if you ask me.

Are you sure or are you saying that because it's the only configuration you've seen? The reason I ask is because unless each PCB only has options for 1 input (ie 1 players buttons and joystick which would be really wierd) then there's nothing to stop you from using one pcb and splitting the video.

I think Arly was telling me its only 1 PCB for h2h, although I can't remember.

Unless each pcb is one player only (which I'm pretty sure it's not), I don't see how they can prevent you from using one pcb for an h2h setup. Electrically, it shouldn't be difficult.

For all you guys in Arizona: I spoke to the manager of Gameworks [in Tempe, AZ] recently and he told me that although it may not happen, he's going to try his hardest to completely redo the fighting game room by adding Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 5: R, and as many other new fighting games as he can afford to get. Let's hope that he can pull this off. :)

[JoeMasters]

is any arcade in ny getting sf4?

CTF arcade is our best bet I believe. Other then that I havent heard of any other popular arcade spots in ny

[Chachi]

I thought Dave and Buster's had a "no fighting-games" policy. Beer, casual gamers, and tick-throws probably don't go too well together.

The only arcade in my part of the world that makes any effort to have fighting games has a hard time keeping them running properly (it literally takes them a week to replace buttons), so I'm not holding my breath on getting anything new here. If I do see a SFIV cab, I'm bringing everyone out of retirement.

[Shafted!]

Cuz im not knowledgable about arcade machines, lets say down the line capcom decides to release an update to sf4, like sf4:championship edition or whatever:

- would you have to shell out for a new game? or,
- is there some mechanism upon which you can just update the current rom? (maybe online?)

[DannyCat]

thats what it is, and thats how much tekken 6 is as well. i know this cause my local tilt is one of 4 places in the usa with the game =PWait, Tekken 6 is that rare here? I mean, I don't play the game or keep track of where it is, but back in Busan, our local university-area arcade had seven of those Tekken 6 cabinets set up side-by-side. And it's been out for a while; I would have figured it'd be more widespread over here by now.

I think whoever made AH shipped updates for free to arcades who had the current version. I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom adopts a similar policy unless they plan on making it seem like an independent release.

:rofl: Gameworks is the biggest joke in the game. I really would like to know who is the head of that company(besides Sega). I mean there making loot off that nasty ass food and such but wow.

From what I've been hearing about the Taito Type X2, it does not allow for internet patching, so it will ship new HDDs for the updates.

EDIT - Tekken 6 is too expensive for most people to buy. Even a raw board is gonna go for about 7k.

How far is Simi Valley from Riverside?

[UltraDavid]

Simi's like an hour and a half minimum from Riverside, more realistically 2 to 2 and a half, and one time it took me like 3.5-4 hours to get to that area 'cause of all the traffic. It's quite a distance, basically.

[iwst99]

I used to live in Palm Springs area....the only fighting games left were MvC2 at the mall with triple damage and XvS for 50 cents at a local Boomers and a ST2 World Warrior at a movie theater with broken buttons. Seriously, those were the only fighting games left, I looked. :'(

All these were in a different city in the valley as well, they were no where near each other.

Edit, oh and a tekken 5 at same mall.

Edit x2, that tekken 5 also had broken buttons.

[Septimus Prime]

Dave and Buster's has a no fighting games policy for the most part. They bought out Jillian's which had CVS2 and Tekken 4/5 at the source mall and removed those games from their selection.

I asked one of the Jillian's employees before it closed and they told me they were getting rid of the fighting games due to D&B's policy.

Whoa...so why does D&B's have a no fighting game policy?Probably because they're doing alright catering to only the casual crowd that gets their collective nut off playing skiball and ticket redemption games, perhaps Daytona USA if they're feeling saucy. There's no telling how an average Joe would react to playing a Daigo wannabe, especially after a few beers.

[Ironreaver7]

i spoke with the guy at FFA (the bald Blk guy who works behind the counter) and he said they was definitely getting some Sf4 machines, he didnt say when but he did say they was getting some. If shogo gets this arcade in Simi i'ma have to support dude. I stay in Lancaster, stationed at Edwards AFB so that drive to Simi or Granada Hills aint far from me.:woot:

[DreamTR]

I really don't think that Portland UNiversity arcade has all these Tekken 6 cabinets. There is not even a distributor here, so that's probably some confusion with another Tekken. $70,000 on Tekken 6 cabinets from a UNiversity and no one has heard about it? Unlikely.

Sucks that SFIV has to use 2 PCBs for head to head, just silly if you ask me.

About Dave and Buster's "policies", I think that is store by store. In Nashville there is a Tekken 5 : Dark Resurrection dedicated cabinet, so I think if the game makes money, they might not care.

Gameworks is actually a pretty good arcade. Each one I go to has updated games, just not updated "fighting games". To be honest, why would anyone want to upgrade from Tekken 5 to Tekken 5 DR if casual gamers don't care? It's not worth the $2500-3000 it was when it came out after forcing arcade operators to buy a $7000 Tekken machine.

Guilty Gear is the worst. Unless you are hardcore, you won't notice. Most players at these arcades don't come back to play fighting games because it's not worth it for the operator to upgrade. THat's why they stop. People want to play at home or don't show anymore.

SFIV would be different if there was a US distributor, but I think that Capcom was unable to get one here, which is really stupid on everyone's part because that game is in serious demand since we don't have ANY new fighting games released in the US. All I know is, $25K for 4 boards= ridiculous.

I was talking to one of the guys at the Time Out in Springfield and for some reason in his wacked out head, this guy said that they didn't want to take a gamble on SFIV or Tekken 6 because it may not draw profit.
Nevermind the fact that if they get Tekken 6 they would get so many people along the east coast running to that arcade, they would probably make back the money. Alot of his optimism came from when they bought the Initial D arcade Stage 4 and nobody played it because 1. they couldn't transfer the previous game card and 2. the high price for just getting an ID card for the game.

Yea, but not exactly chinatown....across the street in J-Town is that JP Mall with the Arcade on the 2nd floor. If anything, that'd be the place to get SF4. I would constantly go there back in the day cause they we're the first to have the new JP Initial D machines. They've been in business for a long time, so heres to hoping they can afford SF4.

[QUOTE=Kusanagi02;5375402]I might as well put it out there...I really hate the arcade scene in the MD/DC/VA area...QUOTE]

I feel ya. In a nutshell, there IS no arcade scene in MD. Once Gametime closed--that was the nail in the coffin, so more likely all of MD (if anyone is playing SF in MD) will have to wait for console. I'm kinda shaky on playing it--but I'll probably try it anyway.

[Footsy Bebop]

When would the arcade version release date be?
EBGames has console relase date as 2/3/2009

[Chachi]

I sent an email to the local Powerplay arcade, just got a response back stating that the owner is looking for it.

I'm in a tough spot, I could point him in the right direction, but he'd have to be able to read kanji and not balk at the asking price. I'm banking that since he dropped a million into the bowling alley expansion/pizza buffet renovation, that getting SFIV wouldn't be too much to ask. Here's hoping...

[Zero619]

For the NYC dudes. Anynews on SF4 in CTF or Kongman center? If so holla at me. I'll do likewise if I should see it anywhere as well.

[masher]

Any1 here about the Tilt getting SF4?

I think the last fighting games they got new were T5dr and KOF11...:wasted:

Thing is the last place in the area that has fighting games is Springfield Mall and it has Tekken 5 DR and CVS1. I'm a little pissed that they got a brand new Pump It Up machine and yet barely anyone plays it.

[DannyCat]

I really don't think that Portland UNiversity arcade has all these Tekken 6 cabinets. There is not even a distributor here, so that's probably some confusion with another Tekken. $70,000 on Tekken 6 cabinets from a UNiversity and no one has heard about it? Unlikely.I didn't say it was in Portland. I spent most of the past four years in Busan, South Korea. And this is the arcade about 4 blocks from Pusan National University:

http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/204/t6js1.jpg

Are you talking about the Busan in KOREA? The same Korea thats also only a boatride away from Japan, still has many arcades like Japan and has alot of game centered businesses? Also the same KOREA that was many of the best Tekken Players? Right next to, of course, Japan.Pretty much. Apparently they get enough business to be able to sit 14 HD monitors worth of Tekken 6 all in one place and still break even on profits. And they only earn 300 won (approx. $0.30) per play. It's not like Japan where the games cost 100 yen, at least.

What, is it shipping? Cheaper to stick a bunch of cabinets on a boat and float them over same-day to Korea rather than try to crate them up for air travel to the states? No manufacturers set up to build cabinets over here and skip the intercontinental travel step? Or is it more the nobody-cares-about-arcades-here bit?

[Chachi]

George Bush doesn't care about arcades.

Seems like Namco is the only Japanese arcade-involved company with distribution hookups in the U.S. No way in hell are they going to pick up the tab for direct competition.

[DevilJin 01]

You don't go to MD/VA to play arcades. Unless you like playing racing games and Mocap Boxing or Police 911 all day.

[DannyCat]

Seems like Namco is the only Japanese arcade-involved company with distribution hookups in the U.S.
So, despite Namco having U.S. distribution hookups, still little to no Tekken 6 here?

[Chachi]

So, despite Namco having U.S. distribution hookups, still little to no Tekken 6 here?Charging 3 bucks a game is a tough sell for most US arcades.

[DannyCat]

Charging 3 bucks a game is a tough sell for most US arcades.Who said 3 bucks a game? I mentioned 300 won (30 cents) and 100 yen ($1) in Korea and Japan, but I didn't hear of any $3.

[HajimeOwari]

Asian countries are built for the arcade business. Tightly packed cities and lots of mass transit means they can build an arcade anywhere near a school or a station and people will go. I see plenty of guys in their 30s hit the arcade after work in their business suit. That wouldn't happen in the US. The arcade is practically dead in the States. =( To those who are still running successful arcades, I salute you! :tup:

[DreamTR]

Well, I don't know if anyone has any better deals, but this is my pre-order if anyone wants to split a set with me:

International version
- standard factory kit
- unit Price: JPY650,000/set
- minimum order 2 sets

[bloodabeast]

idk about PA, but down here in wilmington, North Cackalack(That's Carolina for you Northern folk) the only "arcades" i've seen down here are the Jungle Rapids and Wilsons areas... but Wilsons and 'Rapids disappoint me because the only real arcade we EVER had was at independence mall and yes it was Tilt and guess what it had:
#1 DDR Supernova
#2 Every Tekken game upto Dark Ressurection
#3 The VS. Games(Marvel vs.; SNK etc..)
#4 The DDR game thing where you use both your hands and feet
#5 And the annoying punching machine where you punch a bag and you get a score for how fast or fast it was.
it also had each Soul Calibur except for #4 of course and of course King of Fighters Millenium Fight lol OOOOOOOOOHh they also had Neo Geo vs. SNK :D
and i bet it would have SFIV if it didn't get closed down :(

oh and big congrats to shogo818 for getting those H2H cabs for his arcade. if i was where he was i'd donate money :P

No idea, It's a Taito Type X II System. Never had one myself.

No idea if it works with anything other than an HD monitor, though I am sure there are adapters, not included.

Payment is bank transfer.

I also found out "kit" means one PCB, and you need TWO PCBs in order to play HEAD TO HEAD. $12,000 for one SET of boards. Seriously.

No wonder people charge $3 a game for Tekken 6 in the US. SFIV is worse. Holy crap.

I'm tellin ya, someone at Capcom or in the SF4 team has decided that arcades should become irrelevant even in places where they're still alive.

[DannyCat]

So, they don't plan to release a one-monitor-two-players version at all? Japanese style head-to-head cabinets or nothing?

[the roker]

soooooooo . . . still no sign of SFIV in NYC?

[m121akuma]

Considering that East Lansing's Pinball Pete's and Oakland Mall's American Fun Center haven't gotten any new games since Soul Calibur 3, I'm going to just resign to the fact that I won't be able to play this until the console release *sigh*.

They might as well. I'm still shocked by this. No games in the US that I know of require TWO PCBs for VS play. That seriously just cripples what could have revitalized the arcade scene out here. I'm not seeing it now in this thread, but a lot of people are cheering this and don't really care if it comes to the US arcade. They would rather play it on console regardless. It's just not a good business decision to spend $12,000 just for two cabinet VS play unless you charge $1 a game, and have an arcade in Los Angeles or New York City, and possibly Austin or Houston.

[Gaijinblaze]

didn't ono already admit that? iirc in an interview he said he doesn't like how players divide into factions at arcades and wants more people to play the game online instead.

I don't think one guy's feelings make the whole corporation decide on what to do with arcade games. That's silly and bad marketing of the game. It only helps if this game creates a frenzy.

Four come in one package. 24k. Either way, definitely not smart. Capcom did kind of fuck up on this one.

[DreamTR]

I don't get it though, how can other Type X-2 games have VS playe with one board, but SFIV requires 2? Isn't there something in the options to change that? Just makes no sense at all.

[poonage]

I don't get it though, how can other Type X-2 games have VS playe with one board, but SFIV requires 2? Isn't there something in the options to change that? Just makes no sense at all.

The reason it's like this is because each player on each SF4 cabinet has the option of playing VS against the opponent, or any of the single-player practice modes such as Beginner mode. If you had one PCB, you'd have to challenge the other person playing, but they wanted the option for each player to play by themselves or with the live opponents. Multiple copies of the game are then necessary so that you can have separate games running on separate monitors. You also need it like that in order to do the 4 player networking.

One of the test versions at Capcom USA did allow 1-PCB Versus mode, but it was removed from the final version due to the above features being included. Also, money.

24k for a 4p set up?????? capcom dont care about american people. i wonder how much for one of those square enix arcade RPG set ups

[SaBrE]

i find it very hard to believe that the game requires 2 boards/2 cabs just to play 2 player. especially when theres even sf4 cabs out there where each individual cabinet has a 1p and 2p(like at the sfc event last week and e3). I can understand having 1 board for each cabinet for network play between more than 2 cabs. But damn, if 2 boards are mandatory for just basic 2p play, then that is the dumbest thing I ever heard =/

I'm just finding this really hard to swallow. Maybe that's what the new kits are gonan do for us, when they come out next month. one kit, for 2 players. who knows

[DevilJin 01]

whats the date on that?

[Joe Asakura]

Can the owner of CTF even afford to pay for this cabinet??? I DON'T KNOW!!! Last I recall, CTF is pretty cramped as-is, but it is the last frontier of arcades in NYC unfortunately. Playland, Broadway Arcade up in Times Square, the arcades up in Flushing, Queens, the makeshift/random arcades in hoods all over NYC........all gone.

they can likely afford the single pcb when it comes out pretty easily. 7,000 isnt gonna set them back considering they will probably make it back in like 2-3 months at 75 cents a game, although i am being pretty generous here. (it being played nonstop on weekends and practically most of the time on weekdays for 2 months).

as long as there arent 500 versions sf4 at this much money, it wont be too bad. also sf4 when hogged will probably bring in more 3s/st/cvs2 playtime when people show up to play it.

[Captain Ryu]

If a sf4 cab in ctf would pull bums like me out of my house I'm sure it'll be worth it cause others will go to check it out. That place would be packed out hard.

Take a look at this clip here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8TeWR3Y_mWY), from the Comic Con tournament just last weekend.. they show clips of the cabinet style around the end of the clip. Even though people were playing on person per cab, there are two sets of sticks on one cab... just like the Captivate cabs.

I really hope that means that you can play 2 players on one cab without the need of an additional one. It would be mind-boggling if they had that setup, but refused to let you work off one cab.

[DannyCat]

Ugh. Thanks a lot Capcom. I'm seriously hoping there's a new kit that allows two players =/.
1P Street Fighter is a travesty, even if Capcom is screwing everyone here.Seriously, has anyone at Capcom of Japan ever seen an American arcade? I mean, they're aware we don't have the sit-down, head-to-head arcades they have, right? (or, at least, that it's nowhere near the norm)

I've often seen arcades over there having two sticks on one side even if the right-side controls aren't connected to anything. Or even if the game in that cabinet doesn't support two players on one side. Maybe they just put the PCB into that cabinet for convenience, and didn't want to bother modifying the joystick configuration for it.

Yeah, but if this is the International English version of the cab, then this is supposed to be the custom-made version of the cab just for SFIV in America and possibly other English-speaking countries. This is not a generic cab, it's way different than the Japanese version, which has a card-reader for the IC Cards. Both of these cabs are special-made for SFIV...

I have seen other Vewlix cabs and they differ slightly from the SFIV Vewlix cabs. I've seen the generic Vewlix cabs house games like Sengoku Basara X, Fate Unlimited Codes and even KOF Maximum Impact. None of these cabs had 2 sets of sticks on one cab... it was always 2 linked cabs with a single set of controls when I saw them in Japanese arcades.

Again, if they have 2 set of sticks on one cab, but you can't play 2 players on one cab, that's just crazy. I'm sure Capcom already understands the arcade situation in America, and will have it so that you only need one cab to play 2 players.

A huge WTF if one board is only for a single player. Arcades are dying as it is and these boards are expensive as hell. What logic would it be if an arcade operator would have to purchase 2 boards just so they can get Versus mode up and running. Makes no sense at all. I hope that's not the case though.

But I wonder how many FFA is gonna get?

[Deacon_ncc]

Probably because they're doing alright catering to only the casual crowd that gets their collective nut off playing skiball and ticket redemption games, perhaps Daytona USA if they're feeling saucy. There's no telling how an average Joe would react to playing a Daigo wannabe, especially after a few beers.

I heard about something like this happening at what used to be Super Track in Houston. (where I am) The dude I was playing at CvS2 told me some guy got his face smashed on the control panel, and they don't even sell alcohol there, so you could only imagine what would happen at D&B. BTW does anybody know of ANYTHINNG left in houston. We're losing everything cause people keep fighting everywhere. (at least on my side of town)

[Kunai]

US SF4 cabinets don't get card-readers either? Are they planning on alt. costumes some other way or something?

Doesn't look like it. The card reader is located above the controls, but as you can see in the clip, it's a black panel that's raised, but no card reader to be found.

Alt. costumes... it'll be a mystery to see what they do.

[CFAY]

boards too expensive
arcades dying
no online capcablilites
no player card
no alt costume?
game plays a little like ST (good bye casuls)
arcade charging $1 +
getting your face smashed in for being too good

Sums up what this game will do for the arcade scene in America. So far...not looking like much at all. It's way too uphill of a battle now. It's basically a fight to save what's left. It's the Hokuto no Ken of the arcade timeline. There's no revival. It's done.

[poonage]

This is the information I have gathered according to Capcom and arcade PCB distributors, hope this clears up some of the nonsense:

- There is only one arcade version. There is no "International" version, it's a Japan version ONLY. Because there is only a JAPAN version, U.S. arcades must IMPORT it.

- That means no I.C. cards (because you can't connect to the network from outside Japan, just like with the Japanese versions of Tekken and VF5).

- Since this is a JAPAN version the PCBs are designed for head-to-head. Obviously, if an International version was actually made/distributed, it might support 2 players on 1 PCB. This isn't Capcom trying to screw us over, it's making a product for their market (Japan).

- The JAPAN version has a full English mode in the options.

- There is NO such thing as a "U.S. SF4 Cab". The cabinets being exhibited by Capcom are Japanese Taito Viewlix cabs with the JAPAN version PCB running in English mode.

This isn't Capcom trying to screw us over, it's making a product for their market (Japan).So, instead, it's just Capcom managing to forget about us? Or just delaying the design/manufacture of an International version for a while?

Or, are they merely going through all the trouble and expense to put SF4 in exhibitions over here solely for the purpose of advertising the console release?

[BBCampbell]

What's an "American arcade"? :(

[SaBrE]

there will be no US release. I thought this was pretty obvious, but I guess not =/

I can tel lyou that capcom would like to bring it to the US, but they aren't willing to spend all that money to publish it in a country where the industry is almost non-existent. They needed to find a publisher willing to bring it to the US, which unfortunately, there aren't many publishers left bringing arcade games stateside. Hell, even namco has given up...cough...t6...cough...

While sf4 arcade boards were designed for the japanese market, it still makes no sense at all needing 2 boards for h2h setups. never needed 2 boards for naomi, cps2, cps3, neogeo, atomiswave setups. I understand the need for a board for each individual cabinet for networking more than 2 cabs together for vs play, but if it's just a simple h2h setup with only 2 cabs, then that is really silly

[Kunai]

This is the information I have gathered according to Capcom and arcade PCB distributors, hope this clears up some of the nonsense:

- There is only one arcade version. There is no "International" version, it's a Japan version ONLY. Because there is only a JAPAN version, U.S. arcades must IMPORT it.

- That means no I.C. cards (because you can't connect to the network from outside Japan, just like with the Japanese versions of Tekken and VF5).

- Since this is a JAPAN version the PCBs are designed for head-to-head. Obviously, if an International version was actually made/distributed, it might support 2 players on 1 PCB. This isn't Capcom trying to screw us over, it's making a product for their market (Japan).

- The JAPAN version has a full English mode in the options.

- There is NO such thing as a "U.S. SF4 Cab". The cabinets being exhibited by Capcom are Japanese Taito Viewlix cabs with the JAPAN version PCB running in English mode.

Sad to say, but you are right.

I did some research and found this flyer (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=5378) on The Arcade Flyer Club.

It has 2 sets of sticks on one cab. I have never seen one in Japan, and I have been to arcades in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukui, and I have never seen a cabinet like this... but it does exist. All I have seen in Japan are Vewlix cabinets with 1 set of controls for one cab.

Sorry guys.

[SaBrE]

luckily, my local arcade still plans to get the 2 cab setup with 2 boards. cant wait...

[poonage]

Or, are they merely going through all the trouble and expense to put SF4 in exhibitions over here solely for the purpose of advertising the console release?
That's one reason. It's also possible that that Capcom is building hype so that an American or European arcade distributor might be encouraged to pick up the game, as unlikely as that may be. There's too much going behind the scenes for us to know, but generally distribution for new arcade fighting games is met with apathy. This has been going on since the Tekken 6 situation, and isn't really "news" anymore unfortunately. Most of us knew since Day 1 that SF4 wouldn't get a proper release in Western countries.

As for the Vewlix cabinets, they ship by default with a 2 player control panel but special orders (such as the SF4 cabinet+kit package in Japan) ship with the single player panels. In fact, the first Vewlix I saw in Japan was a 2 player control panel (play side-by-side) with Battle Fantasia.

Hope this clears everything up :)

And yes, some U.S. arcades will still be getting the game.

Count on it. (http://blog.arcadeufo.com/2008/07/25/street-fighter-4-opening-date/)

Do any of you know if SF 4 will be in arcades in Texas?
I checked online and couldn't find any info

Dave & Busters is AIDS.

It's like one of the only places where you can get an SF arcade scene here especially on asian night lol

I hope my D&B's gets it.

[Deezo]

Luckily in our case, the arcade owner I originally posted about was able to get another kit.

UPDATE, we found a second kit, so Narrows will have two big cabinets. 33" showcase to be exact. FYI, Friday nights there are not restricted now.

I was already dreading 1p SFIV heh. Good thing something was able to be done.

[DevilJin 01]

:lol:

[PsiPhi]

I might as well put it out there...I really hate the arcade scene in the MD/DC/VA area and this hate is more so on the arcade owners. I was talking to one of the guys at the Time Out in Springfield and for some reason in his wacked out head, this guy said that they didn't want to take a gamble on SFIV or Tekken 6 because it may not draw profit.
Nevermind the fact that if they get Tekken 6 they would get so many people along the east coast running to that arcade, they would probably make back the money. Alot of his optimism came from when they bought the Initial D arcade Stage 4 and nobody played it because 1. they couldn't transfer the previous game card and 2. the high price for just getting an ID card for the game.

Damn it I was really hoping they would get a SF IV cabinet. Also the D&B in White Flint does carry fighting games... sort of they have Tekken 4 and an Ultrarcade. On the plus side every time I got there there are two people playing SF2...

[DreamTR]

Well, if anyone wants my pre-order for 2 boards at 12k, be my guest, but seriously, I'm not spending $12000 to play Street Fighter EX 4. I know I have not played it yet, but I think a lot of people either have never played the EX series extensively to know, but it still looks a heck of a lot like the EX series, animations, etc, but I'll know as soon as I play it one of these days....

[SNAAAAKE]

If a sf4 cab in ctf would pull bums like me out of my house I'm sure it'll be worth it cause others will go to check it out. That place would be packed out hard.

like how it was when marvel first came out. first day there had to be like like AT LEAST 100 or so people inside. CF will probably get the PCB if not the actual cabinet. dont see why not.

Cool thanks for the update, be sure to post in more threads about release info to keep us updated on the games you won't be playing.

At least you got more views for the shitty ebay store in your signature though.

The point of it was in case someone wanted my pre-order. Not sure why you are responding when you have nothing to contribute. 12K is silly for this game.

And thanks for letting me know about my signature. It's for an old ebay store that doesn't even exist anymore, so I'm not sure how the "shitty" eBay store comment applies when it hasn't existed in awhile, but good job being incorrect and wasting your time!

[Joe Asakura]

damn, all those spots are gone??? memories :shake:

Yep, long gone, since as far back as the early '90's. Then neighborhood gentrification FINISHED off local, small-time NYC arcades by the end of the '90's. I remember, up until then being able to find any flavor of Capcom fighting game at the time (Vs. series, SFA3) at broken-down diners, outside bodega entrances, SHOE stores......they were everywhere and in the most oddest of places around my 'hood. Of course, and this may be a reason why such locales were cracked down on all over NYC, they were a magnet for delinquency and drug activity.

I still live in NYC after all those years, and haven't even been up to Flushing in about 8 years. I SHUDDER to think of what it has become now from the horror stories I've heard. The game stores, the arcade.......LONG GONE.

Tell me more about how Street Fighter IV looks like EX, I'm just hanging on your every word here! Who cares if you haven't played it, you've seen a Youtube vid. Sick little display you got going on there for your avatar/title/rating/premium member/badges/location/gamertag/favorite pizza topping too man, love it.

Street fighter rendered in 3D. Pretty much parallels EX.

A lot of the special moves, basic moves, and walking style are from EX. Unless you've never played and of the EX games before, it's pretty easy to recognize.

[FSgamer]

There's a video somewhere of Alex Valle playing SF4. He mentions something about the SF4 being similar to SFEX.

[Eckostyle]

[fallot]

It was really ugly, but I think the EX series are fine games. I honestly don't know why people hate on them. Past the floaty jumps and polygons its still Street Fighter.

Crossover from Video thread:


Comic-Con interview with Ono on upcoming North America release:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37710.htmlHuh. That sounds like he's not planning for an American arcade release at all. More like, "The arcades in Japan and Asia are helping with playtesting so it'll be ready for the console release, since the North Americans don't get a chance to play it in the arcade...."

For head-to-head fighting games, I like arcades, and I dislike consoles, for the reason that when online play is brought into the picture, there is pretty much no way, short of replacing the entire country's network infrastructure with something that warps space and time, to come up with a gaming experience in which matches will not be decided by lagspikes. A problem that is completely done away with when the other player's controls are a couple feet away. Yeah, you can also fix the problem by having opposing players at the PS3/XBox in the same room with you, but not all of us have lots of people to have anytime matches with.

[EVERDRED]

sf4 is coming straight to video. I can't remember one sequel to a movie that had it's sequel skip the theater that was good. I know it's a game but if it misses American arcades I can't see it being better than straight to video quality.

[Dandy J]

sf4 is in arcades in a place where they matter

[Chachi]

limited theatrical release

[Ex0dUs27]

sf4 is in arcades in a place where they matter

this is the sad truth. the fact that ono is using the arcade version as a second beta if you will, in preparation for the console release is more evidence of this fact. American Arcades are dead, and rather than try to bring a monster back to life, ono wants to create the perfect console fighter. The arcade release will lose its value anyway, once the superior console version drops, seeing as there is no way to update the cabinets with content such as patches or new characters.

[SaBrE]

the sf4 cabs are hooked up, online,a patch can simply be downloaded

[Nokato]

It's a sad reality that more likely most places won't get an Arcade version in the US, the only way the US can really play SF4 as a whole is the console version. I just hope this doesn't cause an issue with international tournaments. Maybe there will be a simutaneous patch release on conjuction with the Arcade version. I'm sure Ono doesn't want a segregation in terms of playing internationally. I don't know--in alot of ways it looks like I've had a change of heart about SF4 and I find myself watching match vids alot, I really want to get my hands on it. I'm considering buying some last minute tickets to Evo...

[DannyCat]

American Arcades are dead, and rather than try to bring a monster back to lifeWell, personally, I don't really care about trying to revive "the arcade scene", I'm fully aware we're not going back to the days where SF2 cabinets were standing in every other grocery store. I just would have liked to have the arcades that DO exist have access to an arcade version of the game that doesn't cost over $10k to buy and set up one 2-player machine.

And regarding international console tournaments, how exactly do you they around the simple fact that the speed of light says there is going to be a permanent minimum latency in between US and Japan, even without unpredictable shifts in network conditions? In a game where people are counting individual frames of moves, doesn't that sort of noticeably throw things off?

[DevilJin 01]

It's only doing so in America. In Japan it's a big movie debut on the silver screen...sure. Not a big deal. People still eat up the newest Mortal Kombat game like it's candy even though MK hasn't seen an arcade release since 1997 or something absolutely crazy like that. Things are different in the US. Most people looking to get this game in the US don't even go to arcades anymore. They're just looking for the beta download online and then from there confirming their purchase at Gamestop when the game releases. There's only very specific parts of the US that even have arcades anymore.

Generally gamers in the US don't even think of arcades as a "theater". To them...arcades don't even exist. Their theater is YouTube and online beta downloads. I'm sure the few Capcom made trailers for SFIV already have people mad pumped about the newest version of a timeless fighting game. There's a lot of hopeful gamers that have wanted to see a new generation of SF and get a chance to play against other people online like they've heard about from the arcade days. GTAIV or Halo 3 didn't hit arcades and they are more or less Platinum Gold titles of the current gaming generation. Why should SFIV?

The majority of players looking to buy this game are just wondering about how the online play will be. These days in the US...it's all about the online. The US is just too big for the newer generation of gamers to care about an arcade release of a fighting game. They hear about arcades in the letter/email section of an EGM mag of some SF loving kid reminiscing about the old days. That's the closest they get to or even care about an arcade. Editorial reviewers and gamers in general slam any game that has limited or no online mode. That's all the majority of the US is gonna care about...whether they can shoryuken their friend in Michigan from Florida and if the netcode is smooth enough to make it feel enough like they were playing at home.

he didnt say anything about playing online...

he was talking about making console and arcade versions being identical, so it doesnt throw off the international scene much. as in, if the arcade gets a patch/upgrade, an update can be release on console to stay current...\

and online play is proving to be very playable with the likes of ggpo, and hd remix on 360

Yeah you are definitely right about that; arcades don't exist anymore (well I got FFA here) but as far as where I'm from in VA, they don't have a place anymore. And if they do have a place, they on;y have games that cater to the young'uns (old ass Tekken, air hockey, Bust a Move, DDR, etc.). I wish it didn't come to that but ever since online became a reality, folks just rather sit at home and place against their buddies that way. I rather have a group of folks over and play like back in the day, but thats just not the case anymore. I'm not big on online gaming but at the same time if thats what I got to get into just to get some comp on some fighting games, so be it. Times have changed......

[UltraDavid]

Obviously arcades are preferable and I really, really don't like the way Capcom's gone about this whole thing in regards to arcades in other countries, but don't knock online play too much. It's not fit for a real tournament, but it can really help people learn the game and build up a scene. Like, in my opinion the non-Japanese ST scene has sucked for a long time, certainly at least as long as I've been in it (7 years or so), but in just the past several months with GGPO and 2df it's gotten noticeably better. Even already-established top players are getting experience against characters they'd almost never fight otherwise and I've noticed that even they've become better, not to mention the massive improvement in everyone else's game. I'm sure SF4 online will have the same effect.

[EVERDRED]

well for the arcades that still have players coming in... cf comes to mind they will have sf4 i guess i was expecting accessibility(sp?) like the old days where you can have a 3s machine in a movie theater lobby or laundry mat but it look like capcom is making the cab into some amusement ride/ddr machine where it has to have dedicated placement of the unit.

i mean if it was just a wide screen and normal cab i dont think the card swipe would be missed if you can put the game in any old machine around the country as long as they fixed there broken ass controls haha.

Then again, there's few fighting games that HAVEN'T at least had a short stint at the legendary CTF. I guess that this is the NYC debut for SFIV eh? Wonder how they're gonna fit it in there............I shudder to think of the throngs of people waiting to play it in such a narrow, stuffy arcade. :amazed:


Now that I think about it, a pricy coin-op like SFIV would've been right at home at those other, post-NYC "Golden Age" arcades like "Broadway City" and "Barcode" I'm certain that Broadway City is long gone after being shut down numerous times, but I think that Barcode is still around though I'm not sure if it has an arcade anymore. "Lazer Park", the 2nd best NYC arcade after CTF, has long since shut down as well. :sad:
