RANT: PS4/Xbone Fight Fans are Getting Screwed

Warning:First Thing's First, English is not my first language so don't expect amazing grammar and spelling here.

Yes, as the tittle says, PS4,Xbox one Fight Game Fans are getting Screwed and bad!

I love Fighting games but anyone that is serious serious about them know that using a Fighstick is the main way of playing them but there are a couple of problems with this on these PS4/Xbox one consoles;

-fighsticks are crazy expensive and overprized
-those VERY EXPENSIVE last gen console fighsticks you bought are not compatible with curent gen consoles
-theres not a single PS4 fighstick on the market ready for sale
-The only Xbox one/PS4 fighsticks available is fu**ing $200

Not to mention Guilty Gear Xrd Sign comes out next tuesday(which im Very EXITED FOR) Dec 16 for PS4 but there is still no solid release date for the $200 Guilty Gear themed PS4/Ps3 Madcatz tournament edition 2 fighstick!

They are forcing us to buy a $200 Overpiced Arcade stick AGAIN!when they could just release a patch for those last gen USB fighsticks to work with PS4/xbox one and the PS4 fighstick is not even arriving on TIME! *RAGE*

I have a PS3 console and a PS3 fighstick and i love it, its the madcatz Soul calibur V tournament edition fighstick. I could just buy Guilty Gear XRD SIGN on PS3 and have no Problems with this whole fighstick issue but i bought a PS4 and i want to play it THERE! PS3 is hard to go back to after playing PS4 for months! i already played the Guilty Gear XRD SIGN DEMO on PS4 and i loved it! graphics were amazing! but i want to play with a fighstick....not with a controller... i am willing to drop $200 on a new fighstick For PS4 but its not even going to arrive on time for the game, still has no release date SMH

then Theres the other option....the $60 cronus max/titan one devices that lets you use any controller on any console, cool but heres the thing, i dont want to have to deal with all that programming crap and having a huge device sticking out of my PS4 to have to use my PS3 fighstick, plus i saw that you have to "authenticate" each time you turn on you console and plug in your PS4/Xbone controller first into the cronusmax/titan one USB device and then plug in your Fighstick, its just anoying and inconvenient and having that thing sticking out in front of the console might break your console USB port if the device is pressed on by accident. Plus i dont know if there is any inputlag with this device, for you fighting game players,you know how hard those justframe moves are, any frame will make a difference.

I am a bit weird i guess, if theres a doubt thats on my mind i have to get rid of it, that doubt would be the inputlag on the cronusmax/titan one

Thats the end of my Rant, i had to get this out of my system... *sigh*
I just want to play Guilty Gear Xrd sign on my PS4 with a legit fighstick

:(

Let me know your thoughts on these issues

FriedGoat4093d ago

Aren't there adapters that let you use pretty much anything?

Amuro4092d ago

most of them add lag but none of the current adapters work on PS4 anyway. On top of it, arcade sticks are connected through USB ports, it's not like they need any kind of adapter, just an update for the console to be able to read them.

Amuro4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

the only stick I know works on PS4 it's the Hori Pro V4. There are some sellers on Amazon that are selling it for $130 new but most are selling it for $200 to take advantage of the shortage. The stick's actual price it's supposed to be $150.

I don't play on stick but I have only heard great things about this one on forums. Works on PS3 and PC too which is a plus.

PurpHerbison4090d ago

Pretty sure that has been out since October too. Going to get one eventually.

If you think that is bad, look at all the racing fans that have to buy a new wheel. The one for PS4 is as much as the console. $400.

snookiegamer4092d ago

How's anyone getting screwed? You act like you can't play fighting games without a stick? <1st World Problems?

Pay Day Loans are screwing people over...but you know what? ...You don't gotta use them? <Real World Problems

would love it if xmen arcade offered two modes. the regular single screen 4 player mode and the ultra wide (simulated dual screen) 6 player mode.

How much you wanna bet that this collection will keep the games in their original aspect radios with no visual fidelity or options?

Was excited until I saw that Limited Run was attached. Their so-called collections thus far have been nothing but sloppily slapped together emulations.

interesting that the Switch 2 version renders at a higher internal resolution. I wonder if they dropped it down to the same as the Series S the game would hit the 60 mark more often than it does.

Solid port though, can't wait to play this tomorrow (or whenever my preorder gets to me lol)
