Street Fighter IV 360 patch breaks online functionality

The internet is awash with reports that the Xbox 360 title update for Street Fighter IV released this morning has broken the game's online modes.

Maybe everyone got bored of it xD

You get what you pay for, am I right? :)

viperman2406231d ago

For 360 owners, hopefully they fix this issue.

mastiffchild6231d ago

No not just for 360 owners but for us all. This gen both console makers/online service providers with shoddy harware, messed up firmware updates and broken promises and third parties with gouging and dodgy downloads have all taken advantage of us gamers regardless of platform.

No doubt the issue will be fixed but coming soon after the furore over the RE5 Vs content it doesn't seem good and with the whiff of another Bethesda foul up in the atmosphere it almost seems that we really are being given rushed product/content that should've been on the disc as DLC or untested releases that can break what we already have.

First I grew worried that the ability to patch post release would lead to iffy quelity of games at release and now even designed DLC seems to be either buggy or broken itself. Maybe after MS didn't get forced nto a mass recall post RROD it sent out a message that gamers will put up with pretty much anything without real protest-and in some cases continue to champion companies selling us short or arrogantly relying on our compliance(MS and Sony respectively) or plainly holding real gamers in disdain(like Nintendo).

This is just another symptom of the malaise sweeping the industry(and kept propagated by the likes of /6 and Bethesda)and what worries me most is now the hell we'll get treated next generation after rolling over for mistreating this one. Honestly we've put up with far too much and fought amongst ourselves while the real culprits within gaming count the profits made from us off their mistakes and slipshod work and don't even apologise fully for messing us about-all the time!

We should unite rather than argue over which faceless conglomerate loves us most(yeh right!)as even while I feel MS has recenrlt done less flor gaming's future than sony I'm not so blind as to think it's anything other than a different plan to part me from my cash-hell maybe even MS are being more honest in plainly chasing market share. but, whatever, we need to put a brake on the treatment we get from all these companies-Capcom were once famed for listening to gamers!Is this how damn far it's gone?

If you had a PS3 and a 360, why would you choose the 360 version over the PS3. I might have a 360 logo in my avatar, but the DS3 is far superior for fighting games.

IdleLeeSiuLung6231d ago

In almost every way is the PS3 version better or the same except for two things:

- graphically the 360 version is slightly better (barely visible), but probably not enough reason
- the online community is marginally larger on the 360
- finally, I suck at this game so I can whopp people that use the 360's d-pad since they are bound to make mistakes.... lol

Seriously, my 360 is more accessible in the two locations I am at. I only have one PS3, but two 360s.

MiloGarret6231d ago

I recently traded my 360 SFIV for the PS3 version because of the DS3, I'm really happy about my choice but in my experience the 360 version is far superior in terms of visual quality and getting into a game takes about half the time on the 360 (at least in Europe).

The PS3 is still superior because it's ridiculous to try and play with the 360's D-Pad and/or analog sticks compared with the PS3's D-Pad so I'm happy to wait the extra time.

Don't flame, just stating opinion. Now bye bye, it's friday and I'm going to get drunk.

fredy6231d ago

then the consoles doesnt matte besides the 360 version looks better. if ur broke then go with the better standard controller, well the ps3.

So much for the superior Live... :D

50$ what a joke. :D

viperman2406231d ago

What does live have anything to do with it? It was a Capcom error not lives.

talltony6231d ago (Edited 6231d ago )

everyone knows that ps3 games have their share of problems too. I mean i like ps3 better but come on their has been games that didnt even work fully on day one.

Edit: I swear any criticism I say about ps3 I get disagrees. The more disagrees I get just shows that this site is filled with ilogical fanboys, come on people wake up!!!

Nitrowolf26231d ago

He is just getting back at some 360 fans, it just part of the whole console war.
I mean how many times have PS3 game been patched (and not a sony game) and someone blames PSN for it?

blackbeld6231d ago

360 breaks before the patch already.... it's not because the capcom SF4 patch.....

Microsoft f^gs are pathetic..

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde1062d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies121062d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde1062d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B1062d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B1063d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h1062d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

Redgrave1062d ago

>calls someone dumb
>does it by saying "you're sound dumb"

Task failed successfully

Terry_B1062d ago

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake1062d ago (Edited 1062d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar1062d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.

King92394d ago (Edited 2394d ago )

Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.

Teflon022393d ago

SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways

gamer78042393d ago

botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.

Enigma_20992394d ago

Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.

King92394d ago

Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.

PhoenixUp2394d ago

You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC

NapalmSanctuary2393d ago (Edited 2393d ago )

Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.

rainslacker2394d ago

That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?

Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.

Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.

If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
