If you don't have a *good* USB controller or stick, don't bother and get the package with the Mad Catz pad...

The game is already "out".  Capcom should stick with the money making console versions instead of letting pirates enjoy their games a whole week before release. :teehee

Steam has deals, then again they're still selling GTA IV for twice what it retails in stores now...

SF4 was released to the 360 pirate scene 1 week before it hit retail (2/10/09).  And it was region-free, no less....

But nobody on PC actually buys games though.

And it still sold 446k in February.  The PC version will be lucky to break 44k lifetime. :teehee

A 5-month old port of a game whose genre has never been popular on PC is not going to sell half a million copies?  Shock and horror.

Your passive agressive stance towards being owned amuses me

There are videos of the game (somehow, lol) running on PCs with the GMA X3100, so I'm going to try to this and see if my MacBook will actually run it on the lowest settings.  Should be worth a laugh, but hey, if it actually can play and play smooth enough, I'll buy it.

I pirated it and it runs okay, but dips down at times. It's weird. It also looks differeant than the PS3 version (which is superior vers)

If you got the right rig to handle it, the game definitely looks better on PC.  The thing is, this is a fighting game and you NEED locked 60fps or there's no point.

BTW the PS3 version doesn't look as good as the 360 version does.

The benchmark runs perfectly on my rig, everything maxed at 1680x1050 I can lock it at 60fps with VSync on.
It's beautiful, I think I might prefer the Ink filter to the normal look as well.
