Super Street Fighter IV (SSFIV): Is it really worth it?
By: Alan Ng | September 29, 2009
Following on from the news that Super Street Fighter IV will be a ‘disc-only’ affair, we have been reading a lot of feedback that quite a few of you are not too happy with Capcom over the news.
Yesterday we informed you that Super Street Fighter IV will be coming as a brand new game, with around 10 new characters and new game features to play around with.
It has now been confirmed that the game will release in Spring 2010 on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles. Capcom have stated that the game won’t be labelled as DLC, but instead come on a standalone disc at a ‘reduced price’.
You may recall Capcom following a similar path to what they did with Resident Evil 5 DLC content. Capcom came in for criticism after it was revealed that their ‘Versus’ DLC content was already contained on the disc, but still charged gamers $4.99 for it.
Still for die hard SF fans, this new ‘Super’ edition may be the best news you’ve heard in months. The idea of brand new characters including T-Hawk and DeeJay are certainly very attractive. But should Capcom have included the bulk of this new content in the original disc?
Another big factor which is bound to frustrate a lot of you, is that both games (SFIV, SSFIV) will NOT be compatible with each other online, meaning that you won’t be able to challenge your friends unless both of you have the same disc.
We want your thoughts on this. Considering the fact that we don’t know how much this new package will cost yet, is it really worth it?

hmm. should halo odst been dlc? should madden just be dlc? im sure you dished out the money for those overrated games. if odst didnt say halo on it would anyone buy it?
please note: with every new verision of sf comes tweaks and upgrades to the fighting system. it isnt just new charcters.
i can’t wait to buy modern warfare 2, im sure its gonna be so much different then cod4
Its nice news…..we shouldn’t pay more than $30 dollars for it though. And i really don’t want to do all the trophies/achievements all over again. I hope it just adds a few to the current ones.
If you can pay for Madden every year at full retail each time I don’t see what the problem is with SF.
Not to mention its been 10+yrs since sf3, I welcome two SF4s one year apart from each other.
But still remeber Madden is a sports game that changes every year but still is a Super Street Fighter game worth it its just the same game with slight improments and 8 new characthers and we are in a different time we have consoles with hardrives and internet access same with the pc versions they could of done this a coulpe of years a go, and a fighting game like Street fighter shouldnt be released every year what if you bought street fighter and a year later the same game comes out with slight changes and another couple of characters is it worth the money unless its a DLC at a certain price is it worth releasing on a disk and what do you do with the original street fighter 4?
