Street Fighter 4 Costume Packs, DLC Detailed

by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 05, 2009 10:22am PST

Capcom today unveiled its plans for post-release Street Fighter 4 content, as the company will offer a steady stream of costume packs as well as a Championship Mode Expansion Pack.

The Championship Mode expansion will be a free download, but no release date was mentioned. When it arrives, the downloadable content will bring with it:

Replay Mode - Record, upload, and download top matches to share with the Street Fighter IV community. Players can analyze top tiered fighters matches, leave voter feedback for others, and share their own triumphant victories.

New Points System - Two new points systems to measure your skill (Championship and Tournament Points)

Enhanced Tournament Matching System - Skill level matching system offers improved tournament match making for beginners and mid-level players. Competitors earn Grade Points (GP) to earn entry into more advanced tournaments.

Meanwhile, five costume packs containing alternative outfits for five characters will release weekly for 320 MS points on the Xbox Live Marketplace and $3.99 in the PlayStation store. The release schedule follows

2/17 - Brawler Pack DLC Pack will include alternate costumes for: Zangeif, E.Honda, Rufus, El Furete, and Abel.

2/24 - Femme Fatale Pack will include alternate costumes for: Chun-Li, Cammy, Sakura, Rose, and C.Viper.

3/3 - Shoruken Pack will include alternate costumes for: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, and Dan.

3/10 - Shadowloo Pack will include alternate costumes for: Seth, M.Bison, Sagat, Balrog, and Vega.

3/17 - Classic Pack will include alternate costumes for: Guile, Dhalsim, Fei-Long, Blanka, and Gen.

Haha, I had a feeling they were going to charge for the extra costume options. Makes me wonder if and when you download any of these costume packs will everyone get to see them or just the ones that downloaded that particular costume pack.

Looking over them though, at least they tired to be reasonable with which costumes come in which pack. Like most of the girls are in one pack, all the Ryu/ken variation players are in one, etc. They didn't do the evil bastard thing and put one of your favs in each of the packs just to make it so you'd go and buy each of them.

I am so used to it know it is to be expected. Pretty much every 360/PS3 game is going to have DLC and it is already being planned worked on before the release date.

I don't know about everyone else but when I hear about DLC being talked about before the game has even been released it makes me reconsider buying the game on release day. Now I'm thinking if I'm patient I can get the game with the DLC later at a much cheaper price. I'm not even sure why they publicize DLC so early. How does that help spur sales?
