Ultra Street Fighter IV Has a Rocky Start on PS4

/ Jeff Jones / Leave a comment

Well it’s really too common of a story these days. Almost every game that comes out has some kind of issue of some sort. Players are reporting some lag in offline game modes, net code issues online, menu lag and sound bugs.

From my initial impression, I haven’t had any problems really. I’ve definitely noticed the laggy menus. The only sound bug I’ve noticed is the announcer didn’t say the name of the winner after I defeated my friend. I’ve had a little bit of online lag mainly due to the opponents connection, but every other match I’ve played has been great.

Other that those troubles, the gameplay runs just fine. The game feels fantastic at 1080p 60fps. The color and textures look great as well with the graphical upgrade of being on PS4.

As of now, there is no update on a new patch for the game, but hopefully there is one sooner that later. Like before Evo, maybe?

Good news for us Street Fighter fans! Fans that played on PS3 won’t have to ditch their PS3 fight sticks. You will be able to use that same fight stick on the PS4 without missing a beat. Lab Zero, of Skullgirls fame, has partnered with Sony to create the drivers for this to be possible.

Ultra Street Fighter IV exclusively hits the PlayStation store on Tuesday the 26th.

Oh Hey, Need for Speed is Coming Back

/ Jeff Jones / 2 Comments

EA released a teaser trailer for the next iteration of the franchise. Despite rumors of it being NFS: Underground 3, EA decided to drop the number and completely reboot the whole NFS franchise.

Not much else is known outside of the trailer, but EA says the game “will feature deep customisation, authentic urban car culture, a nocturnal open world, and an immersive narrative that pulls you through the game.” I don’t know about you all but it sounds like this is as close to a good “Fast and Furious” game that we will ever get. We shall know more by the time E3 rolls around next month.

Need For Speed will be on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here is the trailer:

Street Fighter V’s M. Bison Looks Fantastic

/ Jeff Jones / 2 Comments

M. Bison is back and looks better and older than ever. His design has changed up a bit, but nothing too drastic. He looks to still have his signature red suit on that he has dawned since SFII with the addition of a trench coat for a bit of flair. (woo!) Something that really stands out is the fact that Bison is going gray. It looks like this game will in fact take place after Street Fighter 3.

It looks like Capcom has retained all of Bison’s unique move set that he is known for, such as the psycho crusher and the head stomp. He also has some new moves, that can be seen in the trailer, like a projectile shot. It looks a lot different from his projectile shot in the Alpha series.

There is a lot more to see in the reveal trailer below. Check it out

We can expect Street Fighter V to arrive March of 2016 only on PS4 and PC.
