PS3 or 360... 360 or PS3...

Hmm...

Either way, I want the Ryu controller!

Eurogamer Review - 10

But after over a month of playing Street Fighter IV almost daily, what has become quite clear is that it manages to appeal to a huge range of abilities and tastes without ever compromising its fidelity. Moreover, what is unusual - astounding, even - is Capcom's care in delivering a conversion that goes far beyond what is normally expected of a console beat-'em-up.

Indeed, the bulk of the package, from the extensive Challenge mode through to the option to select Japanese or English voice acting on a per-character basis, ensures that the console release feels like the definitive version of Street Fighter IV. Even discounting the gigantic online superstructure that will make the game a packed competitive arena for years to come, there's enough content offline to inspire weeks and months of play - the kind of investment long-form RPG epics demand, not five-minute gameplay sucker-punches born in the arcade.

The question for Capcom - the looming problem for a company whose game exemplifies its genre more than any other - is only this: where next? There will no doubt be tweaked versions and updates released into arcades and via patches over the next two years, but these will be edits, not rewrites. And while there will no doubt be a small but vociferous core of Third Strike veterans who cry foul over the series' apparent simplification, they will be vastly outnumbered by those players who get to fall in love again with the Street Fighter of their youth: one that's easy to pick up and play, yet near-impossible to master. As a result this is, in almost every way that matters, the perfect Street Fighter.

Or, as my friend at ATEI would put it: dude, this is actually the second coming.

All I'm reading is negative on the Mad Catz controllers... guys with buttons sticking and unresponsive d-pads on both PS3 and 360.

Guess I'm going PS3 and the system controller.

Where have you read this? All I've been reading, about the controllers at least, is that the d-pads are awesome.

You should test it for yourself before you make up your mind.

I'm telling you straight up, that's not the case.

Proof is on the way...

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Put in my preorder today for the 360 version and I am set to pick it up around 10 AM tomorrow.

Once I get the new mechanics down, I am going to be looking for some people to match up with.

Add me if you are interested; gamer tag Max Abbitt.

Nice dragon punch execution. If I can find this controller I will buy it.

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Picked up a PS3 Mad Catz controller (Ryu) and pre-ordered the game (paid in full) which should be in at 10AM tomorrow. Also picked up Soul Caliber IV used for 40 bucks. I'll be giving the controller a workout tonight with SCIV. Won't be able to pick up SFIV until later tomorrow but SCIV should tide me over nicely. Got all this plus paid in full for my MLB: The Show pre-order after using a gift card and trading in 4 games. Nice.

My only concern is for multiplayer - Live is always so much better than PSN for me, regardless of signal strength. Perhaps things have improved since I last tried it, which was many months ago.

Haha... nice!

Don't know who to believe. If I picked this up it would only be for the 360 since I can pull that off with the PS3 d-pad.

Does the 360 controller work with PC games?

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Yes the 360 controller does work with PC games, P. Glad you liked the vid. I should have thrown more combos in there, but I was trying to mostly show quick response execution.

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

It works with PC games??

Things just got a little more interesting.

Maybe it will just depend if I can find the Ryu controller for 360... hmm...
