Street Fighter IV is coming to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC photo

Capcom has beamed us a couple of announcements, with the biggest being the official console announcement for Street Fighter IV. Both the PS3 and 360 versions were pretty much a given, but the PC one took us by surprise. Well, not really; we've been hearing rumors about a PC version for awhile now. I guess actually seeing the words "Windows-based PC" direct from Capcom made it real.

The other announcement lets us know that Lost Planet: Extreme Condition COLONIES EDITION has shipped to retailers. This also concerns PC gamers, as this title is a PC/console cross-platform affair. This new version also brings new multiplayer modes, weapons, and characters to the table.

What do you think about all of this PC business? I like the idea of cross-platform, but will fighting fans (MUGEN doesn't count) pick a PC over consoles? Do you think there will be cross-platform online gaming for SFIV?

Hit the jump for some of the interoffice comments on this announcement. 

Nick Chester: While I have a moment, can I please add: PC? Who in the fuck is going to play Street Fighter IV on the God damned PC? I mean, COME ON. Really?

Dale North: My mom. That is, if the Street Fighter cast sits down at an online 1-2 Limit poker game.  

Samit Sarkar: Yeah, it certainly seems like a waste of development resources. If anything, people will just plug their 360 controllers into their computers' USB ports. And then they'll die over and over again, because that D-pad sucks so much.

Ken Masters: *flips hair*

Yea i don't see this game do any real good in terms of sales not with the rampant piracy these days. Within a week of the games release(before or after) the game will be on every download site on the interwebs. Street Fighter 4 on pc = EPIC FAIL.

You mean like the 360 version of GTA IV?

Seriously, who want's to WASD a fighting game? SFIV on PC is as bad an idea as Guitar Hero 3 on PC.

All I know is that it will look better on my PC than any other system. Now if I were a betting man I would say it would come out for 360/PS3 first so chances are I will buy this for 360.

Slick Icarus: You don't play Guitar Hero with WASD, and you won't play SF4 with that either. Just because it's on PC doesn't mean it has to be controlled with a mouse and keyboard.

Do you really have to put "Hit the jump for some of the interoffice comments on this announcement"? Do you think you're cool? Because to me it's lame when the rest of the article is the next paragraph. That means I have to read that nonsense to finish the story which is only a few more lines anyways.

Hit the jump. " Yeah I'm definitely sounding cool as hell".

If only there was some kind of USB device that could some how be used with a computer and be almost exactly like a controller… oh wait, there is, in fact even the 360s controller can. Anyway being a PC gamer with a hard on for fighting games this news is kind of awesome, I just hope other fighting genres start making their games available for the PC as well, but it wouldn’t hurt for a fighting game that people actually care about next time.

How many people play SF 1 2,all the upgrades, Alpha EX and III on their PC though MAME?

PC will be the only platform you can play every SF game on.
