Games for Windows Live but No Cross-Platform Play for Street Fighter 4 PC
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 28, 2009 4:29pm PDTUpdate: PC Street Fighter 4 players will not be able to play against Xbox 360 fighters, Capcom's Christian Svensson has stated in a forum post. Thanks pyide.
Original: Capcom has revealed more of the upcoming PC version of Street Fighter IV, including that it will feature Games for Windows Live and expanded graphics options.
Games for Windows Live will bring online play, in-game messaging and friends lists, voice chat and achievements to the modern update of the classic beat 'em up.
PC gamers also benefit from higher resolutions and several artistic visual effects including sumi-e ink and watercolour shaders, which can be seen in this gallery.
Street Fighter 4 is scheduled for release on PC this summer.

Shacknews: can you add a button that functions like a "Back To Article" button, so that no matter how deep I am into the screenshots one button can get me back? I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but it's the only thing on Shacknews that routinely gets on my nerves. I know that I can simply open that window in a new tab, and I'm not an expert in the field of HTML (or whatever fancy letter combination is used for creating web pages nowadays) but this seems like it would not be difficult to implement (or would it? I understand that the screenshot page is shared between articles). It's almost as if we're sent off to another website, like Shackpics or something, which has no connection whatsoever back to where we just came from. Even just a "Headlines" bar on the right would fix this problem most of the time.
Before anyone gets on my case about being lazy about opening new tabs, I think what I mentioned above is just a courteous thing for a website to do, along the same lines as simply adding a "back to top" button or simple "about us" page. It just seems to me like a decent gesture towards the user/ browser.
