Although Capcom did not announce a new fighting game at E3 this year, according to Sponichi Annex, the online portal for the Sports Nippon Japanese newspaper, one of the fighting games maker's top executives did make a few comments regarding the next Street Fighter.
Capcom president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said to media representatives in a group interview at E3 that the Osaka-based games maker has plans to develop a Street Fighter 5, and that it would not only fully utilise the unique features of online gaming, but also attempt to broaden the player base by making it more accessible for newcomers, Sponichi Annex reported.
"We'd like to steer away from making the next game such that skilled players will win, but unskilled players will lose almost instantaneously," Tsujimoto said.
Hit the jump to read more on what the Capcom president and COO has to say about Street Fighter 5.
As a means to achieve that (prevent unskilled players from losing instantaneously), Capcom is looking into possibly implementing some kind of pay-for-advantage system in Street Fighter 5 that will allow new players to cover for their lack of skill in matches.
They'd also like to implement some kind of feature that will allow users to spectate matches between high-level players directly within the game itself, "so as to allow beginners to learn how to use the special moves and pick up on general strategy, which will help in growing the userbase".
According to Sponichi Annex, Street Fighter 5 is still years away from release, but Capcom is looking to put it out on the PS4 and Xbox One, at least as far as home video game consoles are concerned.
You'd think with how amazingly hated the gem system was in SFxT that they'd never put back in a "pay2win" system ever again into a fighting game. Newbie players that used block-gems or other P2W gems it would get shit on by the upper-tier players for using them frequently which pushed them away from the FGC even more. MK9/Injustice had no P2W system but it did great with new players and sales numbers. They had great tutorials to learn the system mechanics and combos, very few characters with difficult timing/links, and things like frame data already in the game.
Valle still noobing it up with rolento? Who will be our Ryu hero if not him? Since rumor has it that Daigo is heading to Evil Ryu. Anyone else catch the interview with him and seth killian @ springfighter? Valle is actually younger than I am, which as the "old man" of SF makes me cheer for him every win he gets nowadays. I actually went to college with Seth, got stomped by him in the local arcades and in matches with him playing with my friend who managed to get ST on a supergun. While he is prone to nerves in tourneys- i'd love to see him in the scene again now that he is free of corp prohibitions. Tho only PR Rog has made any serious waves with boxer.I usually spend the morning at work, watching the end of WNF (I'm GMT).
Snake Eyez won again. this time against Valle in the grand finals.
Valle knocked out Ryan Hart in the losers bracket.
Rog drops to many combos with Evil Ryu. No doubt he is good and maybe he will get better, but in the end im sure he will stick with Boxer. He did win a major with Fei Long last year i believe.Valle still noobing it up with rolento? Who will be our Ryu hero if not him? Since rumor has it that Daigo is heading to Evil Ryu.
