Day 0 Update #39 – The One About Street Fighter V

This week Fil, Pat, Brandon, and Leigh discuss the cancellation of the seventh generation version of MKX. GoG gets Bethesda titles. Mostly though, it’s all about Street Fighter V.

8/30/2015 Show Notes

  • What are we playing?
    • Filippo: Volume, Street Fighter V
    • Patrick: STREET FIGHTER V, FINALLY. Also, Grandia II. BUT MOSTLY SFV.
    • Brandon: Rare Replay, Higurashi: When They Cry (Holeeeefuk but this game…)
    • Leigh: Transistor, WoW
  • Releasing this week: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Forza 6 Demo
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X getting NA Collector’s Edition
  • Seventh-gen Mortal Kombat X cancelled
  • Bethesda goes DRM free on GoG
  • Discussion: So we played Street Fighter V…
    • The PAX reveal brings us character #10, Rainbow Mika
      • So the assists are her V-skill? It will be interesting to see how that works.
      • Six characters yet to reveal, three newcomers and three returning.
        • According to Siliconera, Alex, Urien, and Karin are set to return.
        • Patrick: I say Abel, Urien, and Juri. Urien is established as an important character in SFV, Abel’s rooted in Charlie’s story, and Juri is the only SFIV character who does well in popularity polls.
    • This talk of continuous DLC sounds like a KI thing without downtime.
      • Patrick: Hopefully we still get major updates, even within SFV’s model, where lots of balance changes and characters arrive all at once. It would be really weird to me if we’re still playing “vanilla SFV” in five years.
    • System stuff
      • Side retention is not new, but actually very new and radical to SF.
