I just have this awful feeling that the PC version's gonna have DRM on it, which is a shame because it's going to be the best one, with three new filters and the ability to max everything out. Thoughts?

Let's hope not. I wonder if Capcom is one of the few companies that gives a shit about the consumer.

Capcom's $15 title on Steam, Flock!, is DRM'd and activation limited. The chances of SF4 having it sound high with that single data point...

I just hope it's as good optimized as Devil May Cry 4.

Game has GFWL DRM limited activations as like all GFWL titles (confirmed and no crossplatform play) and also Securom DRM like all Capcom tites on PC (I think).

I hope not.
I really like to see if I can become as good at Street fighter IV as I was back in the days in the arcade with Street fighter II.
It is therefore my most anticipated title to come out this year and would probably struggle to buy it if it has any nonsense third party malware on it.
I would've also liked to see cross platform, because I've noticed that I'm fractionally faster at street fighter using the keyboard instead of an arcade stick, I was looking forward to pwning console gamers.
Oh well, Capcom, don't do the stupid thing, DRM can only hurt sales

yep, it is a gfwl title, but I would think they could easily implement 360/pc play, it's been done for a large number of other games.

No, they won't.

This is another title I'm watching closely (aside from Overlord 2) to see what DRM is used. If it's activation based I'm skipping it. :(

Yeah, I had that dream, too.
Five minutes of getting my ass handed to me by thirteen year olds promptly disabused me of that notion. It's depressing, damn it.

just because they won't doesn't mean they couldn't.

Ok, I will buy you a beer if this game will be a crossplatform title. But sorry I will win.

I never said they would do it, I am just saying they probably could make it cross platform easily. Stuff like Skate and Halo 2 are cross platform.

Skate is not available on PC. If you say PS3 and Xbox 360 I don't know. Anyway game is coming to Steam too and that is great.

Halo 2 is a first-party title. Same with Shadowrun, that crappy multiplayer game. Skate's servers are run by EA, so they don't have to play ball with Microsoft and Sony on keeping the two apart.

Coming to Steam? SOLD.
