'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.

UZl I remember playing street fighter back in the day on SNES. Just wished they would have kept it similiar to mortal kombat.

Sucks how these companies just decide to release a game, even though it not completely finished yet.


I like how Street fighter and Mortal Kombat are soo different. If they were the same then it wouldve of been dead.

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.

Pryzel It's a pity to see these big games being crippled by these bugs, devs should make sure the game works before realising it...


They may not experience the bugs before release.

Opeth The difference is The Witcher 3 isn't unfinished... It just has minor glitches that most people don't experience. Remember a game called Skyrim? That was one of the glitchiest games I've ever played but also remembered as one of the best.


Yea, Exactly! the person that wrote this article is obviously a Ps fanboy! Why use the game witcher 3 as an example when VERY FEW ppl on xbox one are having problems! Why not use ac unity as an example which was full of bugs! Did u not use unity as an example due to the fact that the bugs were far worse on ps4 and pc! Exactly! Your obviously a Ps fanboy whoever wrote this article!

I don't understand why they do not make sure the game doesn't have any major issues, even if it means delaying the release date.

r/Kappa right now hahaha.

Capcom did not port this. It was another company called "Other Ocean" and they're known for making terrible ports. *cough* Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection.
