SFIV PC Preorders and Pre-Loads Ahoy - Reviews Too!

Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 05:14 PM [General]

The first reviews for SFIV PC are in (the European outlets are a little ahead):

Meristation - 95%

Multiplayer.it - 95%

3DJuegos - 91%

Vandal Online - 91%

With those scores, you know you want some and we have loads of options now available.

While you’ve been able to pre-order the physical version of the game and our bundled version with the Mad Catz Fight Pad for a while, some of our digital partners now have their pre-orders in place.

We love offering choice to people and we know everyone has their favorite ways to buy. We’ve listened to feedback on our prior releases and have tried to provide as many options on outlets and DRM as possible.

Here are your currently available digital pre-order options:

Buy digitally from the Capcom e-Store

Buy digitally from Direct2Drive

Buy digitally and pre-load from Steam – We’re #4 on their current best sellers… why not see if you can help us get to #1 in the days leading up to launch?

Buy digitally from Impulse - We haven’t yet hit their best sellers yet. :(

Buy digitally or participate in the premium sub service from Metaboli

Buy digitally from GamersGate

It’s not up yet, but it will also be available at Wild Tangent, Gametap and a few other places to be named later.

Regardless of how you buy it, everyone will be playing together over Games for Windows Live… it’s all one big happy community.

SFIV PC Benchmark Tests

Monday, June 29, 2009, 06:05 PM [General]

If there's something you can count on from the PC community, it's the need to tweak, test and configure stuff to see what's the best "thing" there is. That's part of the reason we released the Street Fighter IV benchmark some weeks ago (click the link to download and try it yourself if you haven't already).

The folks at PC Games Hardware (a German publication that thankfully, also has their editorial in English) have already put the benchmark through its paces in their test lab at various resolutions (100+ fps at greater than 1080p resolutions? check!) and various MSAA and AF settings across a suite of GPUs.

Have a look at PC Games Hardware results and see if your GPU is in the list of tested versions and remember, as much as we love our 360s and PS3s, consoles can't run at these resolutions with these levels of MSAA and AF.

As a closing shot, we still have some of our popular Street Fighter IV PC/Mad Catz pad bundles unspoken for in the Capcom store, but they won't last long, so I'd recommend ordering ASAP. It's a great deal with game and pad for $59.99.

Lastly, stay tuned to your favorite download services in the coming days to see what benefits there are to pre-ordering on those services.

Sven its me again but i really really really really want JILL and JOSH to either be playable with a new LONG minigame because after Chris and Sheva rescue Jill it takes about 12 hours for Jill and Josh to rescue Chris and Sheva so that'd be a great minigame.

Or...Allow Jill and Josh to be playable on the main campaign of RE5. in addition to that allow players to choose from either Chris sheva jill or josh to play as also we can choose our partners or on co op we dont have to play as chris.

For example first player can play as sheva and second player can choose to play as jill, i think you know wat i mean

Sven, you should talk to Jun about making the new DLC(assuming you make one)for Resident evil 5 about Jill Valentine. You said you would take the most popular idea from the fans and dicuss it with Jun. As of now everyone wants A jill "seperate ways" type mini game, and if that's to much at least allow her to be playable on the main campaign of Resident Evil 5. Apparently Jun has no idea have much money people would pay for those two things i listed above. Please respond back to me and give me your thoughts.

P.S. On all of your threads or blogs about the new DLC for 5, everyone one wants Jill to be on something other then the mercenaries, they want the things i listed above. Please Chris dont let us down.

Sven, is there any contest going on for San Diego Comic-con? I thought I had gotten all my tickets for the whole weekend but it turns out I don't, and I arrive Wednesday from Miami--hoping to go to the con Thursday since that is the only ticket I'm missing.

I'll wash all the Capcom staff cars if I have to! And I'm not kidding either, physical work like that doesn't bother me, I just don't want to miss out Thursday.

Please let me know if there is any sign of hope. I plan on meeting Unity members who've become great friends of mine online and over the course of time--that's why I'd hate to miss out on anything that Thursday.

Well, thank you for your time.

You're giving away FLOCK! for Steam? That's awesome. I can't wait to get some free codes but having to deal with those that snatch it in a second makes it tough. Thank you for the opportunity for some free downloads!
