Xbox The Xbox One - Part 13

[X Knight]

Ha yes. I thought you might have been waiting for VI to come out before you got the console.

Nice! Yeah might as well take advantage if you can get it cheaper that way.

if VI had more of a firmer release window ( like Feb or March 2018 ), then maybe I'd wait. but as of now, we have no idea when it's coming out.

it would be nice in a sort of "tradition" kind of way if I got SC VI at the same time as the X. since I bought SC VI when I got my 360 back in '08.

anyways......aren't you glad I've returned to the Xbox boards. now you have someone to talk to in here.

 

[Iceman]

I still remember all those times with SCIV. Really loved that game.

Yes, was pretty quiet when you left lol.

yeah, we're pretty much the only guys in here most of the time. it's almost like our own private club. t:

hope you enjoy SCVI when it comes out!

btw......are you playing any other fighting games right now, like Injustice 2 or Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite?

Yeah, we need a doorman to check credentials of anyone else trying to enter. I know there are other people with X1s and X1Xs on the Hype who have expressed interest in posting here when I've linked them but they're still being shy lol.

No, I'm quite busy till Jan and only getting on Xbox to play a few games of Gears with friends. Got loads of paperwork to do.

haha. well I'm posting here and I don't even have an Xbox - so what's their excuse??

and yeah, I haven't been gaming much myself either.

that's why I like fighting and wrestling games - you can just fire up a quick match here and there when you have the time.

I do love having a bunch of games that you can pick up and play at any moment. Going to back and complete all my fighting games one day.

Oh finally the CD works! An app called Groove is needed and it downloads automatically (don't know why it didn't before). Yes it has a track listing and shows images from the album on the screen when it plays. This is actually a great feature I can use with my sound system. Glad you got me to try it.

awesome!! thanks for testing that out and letting me know. much appreciated it!! t:

Odds of imminent buy went from 80-90% to 82-92%

 

[X Knight]

Odds of imminent buy went from 80-90% to 82-92%

81.5%

 

[Iceman]

81.5%

Progress!

 

[X Knight]

Progress!

yeah, but watching PSX stuff like the new SF V Arcade Intro ( which reveals Season 3 characters ), Sakura's reveal trailer, Dragon Crown, Spider-Man, Blazblue Cross Tag ( even though it didn't show anything new ), etc. just dropped that percentage down to around 75%.

So, Regress!!

but seriously, PS4 with all of its exclusives coming out next year is really making the decision to get an Xbox tough.

 

[Iceman]

Is SFV coming out with good stuff now? What are the seasons? Like Killer Instinct seasons?

SFV is coming out with a major update in January that's FINALLY adding Arcade Mode.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/strumsl...ighter-v-arcade-edition---arcade-mode-details

and yeah, the seasons basically add a new set of characters to the game.

Season 1 added Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri, and Urien.

Season 2 added Akuma, Kolin, Ed, Abigail, Menat, and Zeku.

And now, Season 3 will add Sakura, Blanka, Falke (new), Cody, G (new), and Sagat.

There's no arcade mode?! What is the main single player mode then? Nice videos. I hope SFVI is on Xbox again.

yep. as of now. no arcade mode in SF V. shocking isn't it?

Hell, they didn't even have the option to choose a CPU opponent in Exhibition match at launch. It was only Player vs Player.

that's how messed up and barebones it was.

the main single player mode? I guess the only sp mode where you'd spend the most amount of time is the challenge/survival mode ( or whatever they call ). basically, you try to survive through as many opponents on a single life bar. the # of opponents is based on the difficulty level. If you survive all opponents for that difficulty level, you unlock more colors - for the costume you used to bear survival mode.

which is a tedious way to unlock colors.........

other than that, there's the main full length Story mode. and then individual "story modes" for each character, which feature nice artwork cutscenes, but are so laughably short and easy ( talking about 2-4 single round matches per character ) that it offers no challenge whatsoever.

so yeah, a proper Arcade Mode is LONG overdue..........and with that, SF V finally feels more like a complete game. to me at least.

and yeah, SF VI needs to go multiplat.

speaking of which, Capcom also announced a massive SF Collection game that IS going multiplat ( PS4, X1, Switch, PC ). It's coming in May 2018 and includes all the SF 2, SF III, and SF Alpha games.

[Iceman]

I wonder why they didn't include it. What was the full length story mode like?

 

[X Knight]

it was......ok. I liked it for what it was. and I wouldn't mind if they released a Part 2 or something to incorporate all the new characters from Seasons 2 and 3.

at least it was a free update......lol.

 

[X Knight]

and speaking of that SF Collection.

that just makes the lack of V on Xbox even more apparent and shameful, because if one wanted to play the entire collection of SF games, from 1 to V, they can only do that on PS4 ( and I guess PC, too ).

Xbox will get the SF Collection. It has SF IV but only through BC. But no V.

PS4 gets that Collection. But it also has a digital port of SF IV and of course it has V.

 

[Iceman]

I wish all the fighters had high standards in their story modes. I love the characters so there's so much they can do with it.

 

[X Knight]

^ I agree.

Are the earlier games downloadable?

Yeah I'm still not sure why a game like Street Fighter would need to go skip other consoles. Strange tactic. If SF is struggling who isn't!

earlier games downloadable on what? not sure I follow.

if you're talking about the new 30th Ann. Collection game, I'm assuming ( and hoping ) they are all on disc.

and what was frustrating about V is that it's on PC, but not Xbox. so technically it's not a true PS4 exclusive. it's just not on Xbox.

similar deal with Blazblue Cross Tag. it's on PS4, PC, AND Switch. but not Xbox. why??

On PS4. Yeah I guess I didn't really mean downloadable only. I didn't know that disc existed.

I hope this stuff is only temporary and at least the likes of SF come back. No more multiplat exclusives (even timed exclusives). Stuff like Uncharted and Gears of War is fine.

oh, gotcha.

on PS4, as far as I know, the only downloadable SF title available is the Ultra SF IV port, aside from SF V of course.

so that new Collection will be the only way to play all the classic SF titles.

btw, did you see the trailer for it?

[YT]vpUXoCqD6GM[/YT]

and I agree about the mutliplat/exclusive stuff. I have a hard time believing that Capcom was so desperate and struggling that a new SF game couldn't have been made without Sony's help.
