Who's getting SF4 and what's your setup?

Well a lot of the extra price on console games is licensing fees that go to the console makers...

I wonder how demanding the PC version will be on hardware... Anyone out there know the specs?

[khyrox]

I'd seen it listed as June for a few weeks now. I'm actually surprised its not delayed until x-mas. Most PC ports get pushed back about a year from the console versions.

Agh! Now I have to wait longer to be able to play it on my laptop when I travel!

[Spoiler Duck]

But the arcade version practically runs on a PC.

It does, but it also runs on a PC where they know exactly what the hardware specs are going to be. To release a PC game you essentially have to optimise (or not, I guess, as many CAPCOM PC releases have shown...) it to run on every possible variation of a PC within a certain range, which takes a lot of time to work well. There is a lot more testing involved than with console versions.

Given that the game will obviously be a lot more popular on consoles, and I suppose coupled with the more pervasive threat of piracy on the PC platform, I can understand the mindset of making the PC version the second objective. Just the price you pay for wanting to play it in its (hopefully) best form.

oh damn my 360 TE stick is shipping today!

I'm going to stick with the square gate. Most people on shoryken that have modded T.E. sticks to octo are feeling like there is too much dead space. Time will tell.

I'll be getting it for 360, along with a Pad just to see how it is, and a Tourney Edition stick. I always wanted a good stick and this was perfect timing.

AAHHHRRGGGGHH its so close to shipping day!!!!

[gradualmeltdown]

Has anyone seen the special costumes yet? OMG Zangief is Haggar, Chun-Li is Mai, and so on.

I absolutely cannot wait to play this game. I played only once before at an arcade in Tacoma and I think that makes it worse than never playing at all. I am very glad the pacing and zoning are very much like SSF2T. Can't wait to start playing with the focus system.

Here are some pics of my Street Fighter IV arcade cabinet.
