    Isn't this basically just reverse-shilling? I'm not sure c0re would be too happy if Capcom got a bunch of people to talk crap about his game in it's App Store reviews...

    It IS reverse shilling. Something he don't need to do if he's confident about his game. This actually is one of the lowest thing I've seen in TA and I condemn it with impunity :(

    I think you might be taking this a bit to seriously. I mean, you sorta are starting to act like the way MichaelScott did in one of your threads:D. I just think you might be taking his opinion on a game a bit too seriously, and making it sound a lot worser than it really is because of the fact that the OP is a dev who is also working on a fighting game (a nice one too btw:D). I think both sides have their points, because I don't think that you should judge a game after the first screenshot, but I also don't think someone should be thought as a very low person when they do. And I get the fact that the OP might have been asking for a flame war seeing the circumstances, but that doesn't mean you should take it out of hand.

    @core: I understand your point however when did the backround ever have anything to do with this series appeal? I have played this since the first arcade and the backround was never part of the appeal for me. I suspect the reason your developer status became an issue is because this thread seems very premature.

    Sk8terdude, isn't creating a prejudice for an unreleased game over a few screenshot a brand new low? add the fact that he is developing a game under the same genre.

    Look, I've had a chance to interact with cOre on other threads and I really don't think that his intent was at all nefarious. cOre is, first and foremost, a huge fighting game fan. I can almost guarantee that he's as excited about a Street Fighter game on the iPhone as anyone else here: he loves the franchise. I'm just guessing, but I think the reason he brought up the whole background element issue is that that is exactly what he has been struggling with on his game -- how to create a 3D environment and still maintain a high enough frame rate on 2nd Gen devices. He seems to be the kind of guy who actually cares about things like fighting-game backgrounds.

    Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents.

    I don't doubt that he IS a fighting game fan but bussiness is bussiness right? And I don't think he can really compare his struggle with his game with what capcom is doing cuz capcom is not using the unity engine. And why didn't he make a thread pointing out his struggles with his own game instead of making a thread about an 'expose' ( his own words) On why capcom is not investing more than 40k on this title. Honestly he can try to make some convenient excuse out of this but his initial intentions are hard to miss.

    Yeah of course, and in fact I have to give you a confidence :
    I'm not a gamemaker at all.

    In real life, I am the Pope.

    All my interventions were aimed at pulling out a precise amount of letters.
    If you look carefully at the first letter of each of my first 7 sentences, and reverse them with an unpair sorting, you will read "cat meal".

    Yes, I want to rule all the cat meal factories of the world.
    But I can't tell you why, yet !

    I GOT SECRET PLANZZZZ HAHAHAHAHA !

    p.s : read my nickname backwards to know my real name.

    I did say in my last post that you shouldn't judge a game after the first screenshot, which is what you are right about. But I don't think the OP deserves all the crap he is getting just because he is expressing his opinion, which is what all of this is; an opinion. But I can see how some people will take the fact that the OP is also a dev working on a game in the same genre differently than others.

    Yeah they're definitely taking it too far.

    SarcasticGamer, stop repeating the same point. We know he's a dev too but you've said enough. What's the point of saying the same thing again and again?

    Talking it too far? He'll no. Actually reading the OP now it is not a provocative as before only because of the fact that core edited it mutiple times already. But his actions ( this goes way back in the BOF thread) is not something I would want emulated by other devs or would be devs. Anyway if he is entitled to his opinion (or in his own words expose) then I'm entitled to mine.

    It would be cool to get the old school street fighter games ported like super street fighter 2 turbo :) Controls are hard tho to do combos with! Street fighter is all about the controls.. most serious players like the arcade sticks

    I think you are taking it too far. From what I've read here, and from your other posts, you sound like you have a bone to pick personally with a select few people, and flame them constantly.

    More on topic...

    Yeah, I would think that the more obvious choice would be to port over the previous, 2D SF games, like what they did with Super Street Fighter Turbo Hyper Extreme Alpha EX Awesome Amazing HD Remix Zero Strike or whatever it was that came out on consoles recently. I would personally like Alpha to be ported over personally, but I can see how it would be harder to port over, as it is slightly more fast paced than the others. I say this because I'm still worried about the framerate on older devices.

    @Eduku:
    Yeah remembering something as far back as BOF thread seems to validate your point.

    @Sarcastic Gamer:
    He's talking about SF IV, he doesn't seem to like the screenshots. Everyone's entitled to his opinion, and so you are. If you like SF IV, go support it, but don't attack Core as then it becomes personal. Stay on SF IV topic. If you can't, use pm.

    Just because it's a thread about fighting game doesn't mean you have to fight here.

    @Core:
    Now that you know you've got an admirer on your tail that watch your every movement, be a little smart. Use another account if you want to criticise a fighting game as otherwise Sarcastic Gamer will come and start the childish flame war again.

    Yep, true story.

    Nah, I was talking about the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (I think that was the full name) that came out on consoles recently.

    Having a second account on the same IP address will get you banned. Word to the wise. Otherwise I agree with you, Don.

    I can't believe how naive some people are. Capcom not being represented in this forum is the only reason why this thread didn't go to hell, take this scenario with a game like minigore. What do you think will happen if the devs of alive4ever made a comment about How underwhelming the screenshot of minigore's new update is turning out to be. I wouldn't have mind if he is not developing a fighting game of his own, he even posted that SF4 is definately a competion then a day later he made this thread. Do any of you truly believe that after investing his time and money in making his game that he can make an unbiased opinion? And even if he can It's just not ethical from a bussiness standpoint. Can you name any other dev who dared to give a negative assesment over a rival game? IMO it's unbecoming and unprofessional.
