There’s a wide array of modes for players to explore although I personally tend to stick to Arcade and Online Multiplayer for the most part, and the Omega mode offers a fresh perspective on the game, with characters playing slightly differently from their main game counterparts, complete with new focus and movesets, effectively doubling the roster. The main draw behind this edition, besides it being available for the first time on current gen consoles, is the comprehensive addition of every bit of DLC and the numerous revisions the game has undergone since its original release in 2008, including the hyperkinetic Omega mode, a roster including all 44 characters and the countless alternate outfits that people seem to love so much for some reason. The problem seems to be with Capcom’s decision to entirely hand the reins to Other Ocean Interactive for the emulation development, a studio with a less than stellar reputation.īy now gamers should know what to expect when it comes to a Street Fighter game – A large and varied roster of rough and tumble brawlers ready to French kiss each others’ fists – So I won’t delve into too much detail regarding the gameplay, except to say that this hasn’t changed in the slightest and, for the most part, the solid combat mechanics from previous iterations in the franchise make a welcome return.

Seemingly poised to become the definitive edition of the game that salvaged the fighting genre, instead what gamers are presented with is a sloppy port that appears to have been rushed out in order to be released in time to be used in the official tournaments, something that appears to have backfired miserably as the negative press surrounding the game led to the organiser of the massive EVO tournament releasing a statement announcing that, due to the myriad of bugs present in the PS4 version, they’ll be reverting back to the far more stable 360 version. With the release date for the PlayStation exclusive Street Fighter V looming, Capcom have taken one final stab at our wallets with the latest in a long line of superlative laden enhanced editions, Ultra Street Fighter IV.
