XI isn't really held in high regard. Not when compared to the 2 "classics" which are 98 and 2k2. The biggest criticism of XI is how hop happy the game is, to the point where hops seem to bypass good fundamentals, combined with alot of BS. High level play in XI is governed solely by how BS your...

CoD has been focusing more and more on the multiplayer over the past few releases. Heck, the PS3 and XBox 360 versions of Black Ops 3 didn't even feature a campaign.

Because the report stated that the post release sales came from the "core" community, not just the competitive side. This actually says more about Dead Or Alive and the game's core community than anything about Street Fighter - that DOA's "core" community is much more interested in costumes and...

Never specifically stated that "Capcom earns most from tournaments" (though they still earn from advertisements and sponsors on stream). Rather, the statement was that tournaments keep the interest alive for the game for anyone interested in playing the game competitively, which bring in more...

Watertight? Last I checked, I was the one bringing actual facts and figures into the discussion Yes, it doesn't paint an ideal picture of the video game market when most profit is made from post launch content, but that's the market we live in and where companies have to operate in. To these...

Just because you played Alex wrong and only got away with it since you were playing with trash players, doesn't mean your opinions of him are correct. There's a reason he's in the lower section of the tier list...

You don't need to be connected for things like unlocking colors in survival. Being connected is only for Fight Money, and it's only fair unless you're okay with people being able to cheat and hack their Fight Money. In any case, at least we can earn Fight Money in singleplayer. Back when the...

Well, there's no way that they would let you earn fight money offline, since that would open the way for people to cheat the system.

I don't see why not, Street Fighter IV's number grew each year that it was at Evo, and that was even before Capcom had the Pro Tour and all this other support they're giving the scene.

@Xhominid The Demon Within fiscal year ends in March. If that was the reason (and not the fact that Winter Clash is next weekend, and Wizard World had their first tournament this weekend) then they would have released it then. There's also the fact that SF has much more competitive stock than...

Money will come from the same place it came to support SFIV, which is from the core community. The video, and most arguments here come from the belief that a game's revenue comes mostly from the sales of the game itself. However, that's not been the case for the past couple of years. Here's...

Because the average AAA game nowadays makes 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its revenue from post release content sold to the core audience. Initial sales are starting to make up less of that pie because people tend to buy less new games over a period of time compared to 5 years ago. Now for a game like...

Tournaments are done for marketing. At the same time, having them, or more precisely, a heavy eSports presence is a great way to get people to keep investing in the game. I mean, how do you think Riot makes money off LoL? Even if someone's not a regular tournament goer, if they're invested in...

At the end of the day, casuals sales don't really help Capcom much in the long run. Not if these sales are from the people who think just like most of the people complaining here. I mean, I'm pretty sure none of you plan to eventually go to tournaments and compete. Capcom wants to steer the...

That tweet was deleted and Wiz took the ruling back until we have more data.

Wanted to touch on my last point a bit more. This is probably the first time a major company has gone its way to actually promote the FGC. It used to be that we were told that the FGC would have to sell itself. But now, with the whole eSports push, Capcom is finally giving that level of support...

Here's the thing, all that stuff is coming in a couple of weeks or so. So it's basically almost like the game getting delayed to March, except competitive players get to play the game, and events like Winter Clash and Final Round aren't screwed out of their spots in the Pro Tour. That said, it...

Some comparative SSFIV stats.

The difference is that Destiny and Battlefront were lacking things that were part of the core gameplay experience (i.e. stages in Battlefront). This game on the other hand has its core complete. The other thing to note is that Johhny Casual who buys the game once, finishes story/trial/survival...

No, the main goal was to set SFV up as a service for their long term eSports plans. That's been one of their biggest talking points whenever they get a chance to talk about the game. Actually, casuals are making a smaller contribution to a game's revenue these days. About 1/3 to 1/2 of a...
