Hundreds of fans got their hands on the PLAYSTATION 3 version of Street Fighter IV recently, as Capcom held its final round of Street Fighter Club in San Francisco. I caught up with Seth Killian, who (quite favorably) compared the PS3 version of the game with the arcade, as well as John Diamonon, who I thought you all might wanna meet, seeing as he’s a staple here on the blog.
Oh, and a PROTIP from me: The optional install for SFIV is well worth a bit of your hard drive space – it drives load times in between matches down to almost nothing.
One final note from Capcom: PlayStation gamers will soon be able to experience Resident Evil 5 for themselves as the intense new two-level demo will be downloadable on the PlayStation Network for the PLAYSTATION 3 on February 2, 2009. With three modes of action- single-player with AI controlled support, split-screen two-player co-op and two-player co-op across PlayStation Network- the demo will give fans an in-depth glimpse into the game a month before it launches on Friday, March 13, 2009.

Great news about that RE5 demo!
Oh, and Jeff . . . what’s up with my PSN avatar not showing up here? Works fine on the boards, so why not here?
And where’s that video?

And as for John D, he still has yet to accept my SUMWZSF2TU:CE challenge . . . my Ken vs. whoever he wants he wants to have his ass kicked as.
Because I know John will eventually read this, don’t sing it; bring it.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 21, 2009 at 1:33 pm
For the record, he took me down in 3 rounds, Ken vs Ken, I believe.
I took him off guard in the first round, and it wasn’t even close in the final 2. He’s the real deal.
John Diamonon replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:17 pm
I got lucky! ;)

Im assuming this has trophy support? Also, can we expect any PS3 exclusive content?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:27 pm
There is trophy support. I have seen it.

ftwrthtx | January 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Thanks for the info Jeff. Great info and great interview.

tetsou9shima | January 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
R.E. demo……yes….I hope it plays as good as it looks. Do both games have trophy support? How about in game music? Thanks for the info.
14
rAdIOhEaD73 | January 21st, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Very good news, I am buying both games (SF IV and Resident Evil 5) day 1!!!
It’s good to see CAPCOM supporting the PS3 with these amazing games.
15
EvoAnubis | January 21st, 2009 at 1:37 pm
*laughs* Of course I merged my account, Jeff! You know how long I’ve been waiting to do that.
And I believe John’s good, but ain’t nothing like a good ass-whuppin, and it’s about time he had one.
You hear me John!? Come get some!
John Diamonon replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Alright, alright, I’ve been avoiding playing long enough.

EvoAnubis | January 21st, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Oh….I’m dumb. You asked WHEN. Today, about 40 minutes ago.
Sorry; I’m in a hurry, and reading too fast.

DLB | January 21st, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Cant wait for this game, will there be a space in Home for it? Will Capcom be making it or you lovely folks at SCE?

it’s so cool seeing how much the people behind the games love the community.

Zezzler | January 21st, 2009 at 1:42 pm
How about an Underground fight club for SFIV in Canada, eh? Nothing too interesting really happens to the neighbours of the north… but i’m glad to see that their is a demo for RE5!
Any news about some new network games to be issued? like a Flock demo? or maybe some classic RE games for ps1 classics?

IcEmAn_S6 | January 21st, 2009 at 1:43 pm

I wish he would have let slip some info on Deadrising for PS3.

Feb is looking to be a horrible month. And my Horrible I mean so many games that I want, and so few dollars that I can spend.

Stoffinator | January 21st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Very cool video Jeff and thanks John Diamonon and everyone at Capcom.
And Jeff, can we get where we are not signed out of the blog when we close our browsers please? Its very annoying. :-p
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:28 pm
What browser are you using? I’m not having this problem with Firefox.

I remember hearing about home spaces for sf4 and re5 being out around the respective launches of the two titles a long time ago but recently its been all quiet on that front, I was wondering if anyone could at least say if a capcom home announcement would be coming soon or not
27
SpyDudeFX | January 21st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
RE5 sounds awesome, co-op on PSN is going to be amazing. I can’t wait for this. Now about the new PSN Blog features, it would be ideal to have a “remember me” feature. I hate having to deal with the tedious PSN login process of being redirecting twice, and then it doesn’t put you back where you started lol

reson8er | January 21st, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Does the merging of accounts retrofit your icon with previous posts?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:31 pm
It should, yes.

Jeff, I have problems with my PSN account, I can never stayed logged in like before, even time I access Playstation.Blog, I got to keep logging in :( Can’t you make it to “Remember me” so I don’t have to keeping entering my PSN details.
Thanks
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Looking into this now, please bear with us with this transition. Thanks!

SpyDudeFX | January 21st, 2009 at 1:52 pm
@28, yes it does. All of my posts now show my PSN avatar.

TheApprentice | January 21st, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Glad I upgraded my HDD, so installs aren’t a problem anymore.
Was a pain on my previous 60gb…always deleting data :(
And can’t wait for the RE5 demo!

liketoski | January 21st, 2009 at 2:01 pm

36
Vengeful-Chaos | January 21st, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Can’t wait for the RE demo.
Also why does it show my original PS Blog id but it shows my PSN avatar. Is that how it’s suppose to be?
37
Vengeful-Chaos | January 21st, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Wait a minute it’s not showing C-h-a-o-s anymore, scratch my previous question.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 21, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Sweet – I know we fixed that!

2-Is there any plans to release game Spices for Street Fighter IV or Resident Evil 5 in the USA HOME?
3-Is there any plans to release more PS1 games from Capcom in the USA store?
John Diamonon replied on January 21, 2009 at 9:33 pm
I’ll take this one Jeff.
1) Ugh..There should be.
2) Maybe oregano. Possibly sage.
3) Yup.

Moosehole | January 21st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Jeff, what is the deal with us having to log in EVERY time we visit the Blog?
This is SO annoying and much less convenient than the way things were before.
43
UltimaChocochu | January 21st, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Woo for RE5 demo, I heard about it coming out earlier this week.
Nice to hear again about it coming out next week, I love me some Resident Evil XDDD

Another blog, another time I wish the PSP got more love from Sony. Still cool to hear about SFIV though, and the RE5 demo.

space_fox00 | January 21st, 2009 at 2:19 pm

John Diamonon replied on January 21, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Hey, how can you complain about a gift? LOL. Age of Booty is bootiliciously wonderful.
