When the DLC update does come, it will inject new life and excitement into the game by unleashing 12 new fighters into the wild.Īs much as I want to fire up the rage machine at Capcom over this, I find that I'm satisfied by this explanation. Everything you need to enjoy this game for months (and years) to come will be accessed by the retail disc available this week.
This move also furthers our desire to avoid a "Super" version of the game down the road. The update also saves on file size - instead of a massive download, there will be a much smaller unlock that brings the new content to the surface. For example, not buying costumes in the Street Fighter IV series means you will not see the costumes when playing another person who did buy them on-disc characters avoid this issue and allow everyone to participate in the update without additional patches or hiccups.
Here's the company's Brett Elston with a quote:īy including these 12 characters on the disc, the idea was to ensure easy compatability between players who do and do not choose to download the characters when they arrive as DLC. On the other hand is Capcom with an explanation of efficiency and convenience. So what's going on here? Is this another case where customers are being asked to pay for content they've already bought? Or is something less sinister going on here? On the one hand we have the angry fans who are displeased at the idea of paying for mere unlock codes to access characters that are already ready to go, but are behind a paywall. Some people have tinkered with the game and have even unlocked them already.
What's angering people is that twelve of those DLC characters are already on the SFxT disc. The game features thirty-eight different playable characters from across the Street Fighter and Tekken universes, but there are already announced plans to add more through post-release downloadable content. Capcom seems to be going out of its way to irritate its most loyal customers these days, and now the company's new Street Fighter X Tekken for the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and PC has landed in the center of the latest controversy.
