'Ultra Street Fighter IV' for PlayStation 4 has big issues

4.7
Turns out the PS4 port of Street Fighter IV isn't all that Ultra. Sony secured a next-gen exclusive for the fighting game and its sequel, but its release has been marred by complaints. The internet is awash with reports of severe slowdown in menus, moves not working as they're supposed to, sound glitches and bizarre visual bugs. Although we haven't noticed some of the more egregious issues, the game does appear to have some input lag, which is a massive problem for a title that is all about timing. The entire thing feels like you're playing online with a weak connection right now.

Ultra Street Fighter IV's botched launch is yet another example of companies offering up incomplete games for purchase. As we've highlighted before, several high-profile releases have been seriously compromised by bugs. Most recently, Xbox One users have complained about a glitch in Witcher 3 that prevents the game from saving. Like the developer of that game, Capcom is sure to patch the Street Fighter issues soon enough, but that's really no excuse for releasing a game in an unfinished state.

One of my friends plays this game on Xbox and absolutely loves it. Kinda sucks that that it is only on PS4, but funny that they already have issues with it :p

illume I only played this once or twice and never really enjoyed it. Most people have said that MK is better, meh I agree. This is just the icing on the cake really. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game but oh my it has some big flaws.
I hate writing on news articles more than once but I want to reply.
Street Fighter is not for everyone. I love it but it doesn't cater to newer players. I don't like MK because I personally think the game takes no skill to play. You can either spam or rush and hope a combo can save you. No reading in that game and it's based on guessing.

1989 I loved this game since I was a little kid and am very upset that its only on PS4.

I am happy this game has big issues and hope its a flop on the PS4.


It's on the PC too, not just the PS4.

It's a port. Ultra Street Fighter is on was on last gen before they ported to PS4.

Delay the release date. Should've worked harder on looking for bugs etc.
