Capcom “looking into” adding Arcade Mode to Street Fighter 5

Between the launch day server issues, questionable reviews, and lack of single player content, the narrative has been overwhelmingly negative, despite there being an utterly fantastic fighter at the game’s half-finished core. Fortunately, Capcom sent a glimmer of hope regarding the brawler’s inexplicably missing Arcade Mode.

“looking into” ?? da hell ? I will look into showing a certain finger of my hand then.

OldGuyStillGaming3730d ago

They're" looking into " how much to charge for it

sinjonezp3730d ago

What im upset about is they say "looking into" , like...it wasn't thought of at all when they developed the game. What is a fighting game without arcade mode capcom!?!? I am disturbed

bloop3730d ago

I thought arcade mode was already confirmed to be coming in one of the future updates? Capcom are taking the piss now.

Eonjay3730d ago

"The team is looking into adding an Arcade Mode and we’ll have more information to share soon"

Thats a pretty direct statement.

80-90% of my playing time in any fighting game has been with an arcade mode or 1v1 vs the CPU.

I don't really play fighting games online, as I just kind of play them for fun here and there.

The gameplay of SF5 looks awesome, but everything.......not so much.

16 characters is a joke.

Articuno763729d ago (Edited 3729d ago )

16 characters is pretty standard for a first release of a fighting game that's a blank slate (new engine, no resused assets).

Look at Street Fighter 4 (arcade), BlazBlue or King of Fighters 12. They all had roster sizes in the same region.

Any other game you could think to mention would likely fall into one of two categories: they had an arcade release (or several) before the home release or they recycled a lot of assets (particularly animations/models) from the previous game.

looking into?! LOL gaming these days...even a standard mode is turning into a feature being looked into! just like how EA said they were also "looking into" including SP campaign in SWBF!

Ok SF5 needs an arcade mode fast.

-Foxtrot3730d ago

You can imagine next gen

"Capcom are currently looking into adding more like 5 characters"

"Capcom are looking into adding more then 4 stages to the game"

"Capcom are looking into giving gamers the the other half of the games disc"

Hoffmann3730d ago

Am looking forward to KOF XIV and Tekken 7.

moegooner883730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

I am looking into trading my copy in soon if they don't do it. Ridiculous.

Hoffmann3730d ago

I was lucky, could return my copy last friday.Might buy SFV again if they release a...more complete version.

chrisx3730d ago

Weren't u the person defending this sh*t, giving me a senseless reply when I called capcom out on this? Now u say this? Lol

Street Fighter 5: Analysing a Tarnished Legacy

Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.

Terry_B863d ago

Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.

SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.

SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.

kevco33862d ago

I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.

SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.

Terry_B861d ago

Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.

So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.

Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.

Sano24862d ago

SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.

Terry_B861d ago

Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.

Nerdmaster861d ago

It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.

EvertonFC861d ago

I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.

CrimsonWing69861d ago

I dunno, I like Street Fighter 5 quite a bit. 🤷‍♂️

Shiro173861d ago

Sf6 is the best sf since sf4ae lol
