stitchesnscars Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The IGN review of this game is up which you can view here: http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/02/15/street-fighter-5-review?watch=&page=1 Score aside the negatives or cons listed are lack of features, to better clarify this, here is what is apparently not in the game ChallengesTrials1P vs CPUCPU vs CPU8 player lobbiesCinematic story modeIndividual character stories themselves are also missing 2-3 chapters eachIn-game shopAlternate costumes (you can earn them but can't unlock them until the in-game store comes out in March)Spectator ModeStage transition canceled. TargetsExtra battlesArcadeNo Gallery Mode Some of these are not terribly important to some but the lack of arcade and 1P vs CPU is a little deterring. It almost seems like the game was made for competitive play only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I thought character stories were this game's version of Arcade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aranea Highwind Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I'm ready to play Street Fighter Alpha V tomorrow... i'm just kidding. Hopefully they add more modes over the time as this game will receive support for many years. On a side note, now i understand the joke this Kaz parody account made on Twitter.

Beyondthegrave07 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The big ones for me are versus mode against a computer and arcade mode. I mean, how in the hell do you leave out the 2 things that are practically in every fighter game since the birth of console gaming? I'd rather see a game delayed and earn remarkable praise than see it get pooped on for a lack of features! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I thought they were adding spectator mode in March? I didn't know about the 1P vs. CPU though, as that's what I intended to do before jumping into online. I feel like most of those things will be added in later since it wouldn't make sense to leave out Arcade and other basic things fighting games have always had.

DariganX Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The game needed to be released because Capcom Cup will start soon and players need the game to prepare themselves. Here is the 2016 schedule. There is an official tournament already later this month (France, Feb 26th). Those who can't live without single player content can just wait a bit longer, most of it will be released in March. The cinematic story mode will be released in June.

MMDE Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Why are they releasing the game before it's finished?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locutus442 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Pretty much a deal breaker for me. I won't get it at least until arcade/story mode and 1p vs cpu are added. Why are they releasing the game before it's finished?! They did this with Killer Instinct on Xbox One imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltyie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Why are they releasing the game before it's finished?! Its done where it matters, rumours are they pushed it out to make it in time for a street fighter tournament later this month. If you want the full package, pick up the game in Spetember, by then Challenges and a proper story mpde will be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExHaseo Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 They've already announced that there's a day one patch. They probably just didn't have enough time to finish the game before it had to go gold. A lot of those features aren't in the game because they haven't been patched in yet, because the game isn't out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) This is basically the tournament player release. All the important bits are there for the tournament players to train for the next tournament. This is a game that's huge in this regard. The tournament side of Street Fighter is probably a lot more important to the franchise than the average gamer that just wants to play some SF, so I kind of understand where they're coming from with this "incomplete" release. I don't really like it, but I can understand it. I think they should've advertised it a bit better, but then again they've been pretty open about it. Trials, Challenges and improved online lobbies in march, story mode in june (free updates). The regular release will be later this year (with incremental updates, with june being the date all modes are available). I was pretty hyped for this game, but since some of the features I like the most (like trial mode) will be released later, I'm going to hold of on buying it for a bit. Who knows, maybe some store will have a sale on it by then aswell . Edited February 15, 2016 by Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_Ra Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Ah, yes, they may have released another edition by then, right? No, there won't be any other edition according to what Capcom has said so far. At least ala Super, Ultra ,etc. Some of the modes listed will be added as updates or free DLC to pick on March (which seems it won't even cost any FM unlike chars). There aren't any news for the other modes for now. Edited February 15, 2016 by Lord_of_Ra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Capcom already told us all those features wouldn't be in the initial release months ago. How is any of this shocking? As for a 1P vs. CPU mode just go into training mode and turn the training dummy to CPU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitchesnscars Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Ah, yes, they may have released another edition by then, right? SFV Super Hyper Tournament Edition. SFV: the stuff we should have included in the game at launch edition. Capcom already told us all those features wouldn't be in the initial release months ago. How is any of this shocking? As for a 1P vs. CPU mode just go into training mode and turn the training dummy to CPU. You could be right as i haven't been following the game that closely but there are a lot of people other than myself that did not know about these as i haven't seen any complaints about this until now. I n an age where everyone brings out the pitch forks and torches when a single player mode is left out i find it interesting that this game seems to be getting a pass. A longtime favorite arcade/1st player mode is left out of a series that's had it forever. I expected an arcade mode 1st player cpu mode in this game as surely as I would expect Ryu to be a playable character. Really now? You don't say! My bad i guess, i must have missed the giant Multi-player only tattoo in Ryu's arm. Edited February 15, 2016 by stitchesnscars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So they released platform for online fighting and call it new game? Interesting =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Nearly everything you mentioned is going to be in it eventually. Don't like it's not in it now? Wait then (I'm waiting until March, because Alex). This is so the game actually makes it into EVO this year; sooner tournament players get it, the better for them. Fighting game developers will lean towards these players first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazeaire Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Lol damn, guess I'm not getting this after all, as a non-competitive player who hardly goes online the single player was pretty much the make or break for me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergil Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Did they say that they were not going to have these features at all or that they would be released at a later date? They bascially said. This is what you are getting and lots of stuff will be added later. SFV is exactly like Killer Instinct on Xbone. That game started with only 6 characters. but its going strong, now its up to season 3. One thing i´m personally wondering is. How many season pass will there be? 1 every year or 1 for all time ( which i doubt ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
