The Big ass Street Fighter IV thread

[Wizard]

Well, we have a confirmation from that BR blog;

 

This was posted on GAF from someone at EGM.

 

Hey guys...I just left this comment on Kotaku's story that's blasting us, but my account's waiting for approval:

 

Guys, maybe a little journalistic investigating before you blast us? How

about talking to Ziff Davis to get the "full story"? This guy did not get

the information from an "anonymous source." He's a freelancer for EGM Brazil

who finally admitted to them that he did not have a source, but rather,

stole the information from our servers (we have IP logs for this). He used

his working relationship with EGM Brazil, stole a password, and took

information from our story and posted it up before we could.

 

If one of Kotaku's freelancers stole a password to steal a scoop, would that

be cool? I'd be OK with it if, indeed, he had a source that leaked the

information (I stood up for Kotaku for that very act in last year's Sony

debacle). But that's not what's happened. What he did was just outright

illegal, irresponsible, and is not what journalists are supposed to do.

 

Please, next time, before blasting us...maybe get the other side of the

story?

 

So yes, we have IP-logged proof and a confession that this guy stole our story. We also know this because he had info directly from the EGM story, without an actual copy of the issue in hand (he was able to read the story and translate it from our servers via the password he stole). That's why we went after him. It wasn't because he scooped us with his own investigative reporting.

 

I'm really disappointed Kotaku didn't bother to get any facts first before publishing the story.

So the screenshots are legit, as for the rest of the information. We're going to wait officially.

I hate that kotaku has become a major gaming news site. That place has little to no journalistic credibility. flock blog journalism.

Hatermmmemmmm...

It will be a good game! It was thinking like "graphics are out of date" no one would have played smash bros, and lets face it, Smash bros has little next gen graphics but beats nearly half of the ps2/xobx game roster!

go drink your haterade gryph!

1) Kotaku has gone downhill.

 

2) It's all about the visual style. SSB has a distinct look which works fine despite less technically impressive graphics. I think SF4 is capable of the same as long as they fix Ken's mongoloid face.

And Ryu's chin while there at it.

I hope the game play feels more next Gen and fresh then the graphics.

Who is going to replace Zangief???? The screaming Russian..... gone... O-well, I didn't use him anyway. Dhalsim stays, "yoga this and yoga that. Fire and flame dude!"
