YOU STOP YELLING AT ONO. YOU STOP YELLING AT ONO RIGHT NOW.

This is a beta. Shit happens.

 

[Floex]

Although it sucks for people staying up at least they're extending the beta so people actually can play it. It's a beta, these things can happen.

This is it. The entitlement of some people lol

 

[Gr1mLock]

You win title screen. I'm tapping out for the night.

 

[Hasney]

Beta. Beeeetttttaaaaa. Not demo.

Goddamn some people.

I think companies do have to take some heat as they keep hyping these up as a big deal. Play early! But at the same time, it is for fixing shit.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

yay for being in hst, itll only be 12 when maintenance is done lol

 

[Marvel]

This is a true beta the game isn't out for a long ass time. Remember that.

 

[Sanctuary]

What he's speaking of is the concept, done for the grade system this time.

^ That is what he's talking about, and that's not this:

 

[Barakov]

Welp. I just try tomorrow.

 

[Wheresmycoffee]

I wonder why they didn't just pick a time like 4:00 AM to begin with. That way, there wouldn't be a MILLION people trying to log on at once. It would just gradually get more players as people wake up.

 

[storafötter]

Glad to know I am not the only one who cannot connect to servers. I just got up and was so excited at the title screen.

 

[Shito]

Well, they chose 3am for Europe...
You can't choose "night time" for a worldwide thing.

 

[Noisepurge]

This is actually exactly what a beta is for. People who are seriously complaining about this besides the "Meh, I stayed up for this" are delusional. These are the kind of issues you want to iron out before release. I swear people treat betas to be some sort of exclusive early access nowdays.

Well, 90% of "alphas" and "betas" nowadays are demos of the actual product. Just glorified as limited access. All assets are final and everything will be the same when the game launches 1 month from the "beta".

A legit beta would be a broken mess with missing textures and placeholder visual elements. This is a good sign that they actually started to do these online betas for SF5 a year before the game launches.

It doesn't seem like its a server load issue.

what about server side stuff that they're testing?

does locked assets etc mean that its not a beta if they're stress testing servers?

Pretty good

Hmm, good point. Yeah i guess the Beta -term is ok at that point. Dunno what else you could call a public release candidate test version.

People should be told it's just a network test and not give us that "all assets are not final" and give people hope in expecting big changes for the release.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

But maybe all assets aren't final.

There's a lot of assumption here. Just take it at face value.

 

[KurtSloane]

After being a part of so many beta tests over the years I am not shocked.

Still would have liked a go before work.

 

[abstract alien]

It's a beta. Doesn't that cover nearly everything that could go wrong outside of it bricking systems? This seems like a best case scenario, as this was clearly an issue that needed to be fixed but was unknown. Just seems like a beta doing what a beta is supposed to do, preorder bonus or not.

I guess people got used to it that betas are more demos than testing objects.

It's not only the fault from people, sometimes the devs/publishers hype "betas" up who are a month before release. They then don't really change that much then for the release. So they rather seem like demos or a free trial period for some.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Any second now...

 

[giancarlo123x]

Got to some training last night with Bison for ten minutes,he feels beast as hell. It's going to take me a bit to get used to no psycho crusher.

 

[Spinosaurus]

How do you get into training mode? Just woke up to this lol.

 

[Kane1345]

How do you get into training mode? Just woke up to this lol.

You get into training mode when the servers are not on fire. Blame Ryu

 

[K.Sabot]

How do you get into training mode? Just woke up to this lol.

You wait 1 more hour and then possibly 8 more hours.

 

[yagal]

Just according to keikaku.

 

[DryvBy]

Is there a schedule for this? I had to stick with USFIV last night with a friend instead.

 

[Troubled Bat]

If I can't play in 40 minutes, I'm officially dropping out. Lol

 

[Mizerman]

Just according to keikaku.

(Mizerman's note: keikaku means plan)

[Troubled Bat]

[oti]

Watching EVO highlights until the Beta breaks my heart again.

 

[GorillaJu]

So we should be up in 10 ish minutes then? Cool just got home and downloaded. Good timing.

 

[Marvel]

@Eurogamer

The Street Fighter 5 beta isn't working

No shit, Eurogamer.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Well at least its extended

 

[Rektash]

Good thing I have another 4 hours before I get home from work. If that wasn't the case I would probably be as sad as you guys sitting in front of my console trying play the game.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

If it doesn't work in 6 minutes the problem is serious and really good we found out so early.

 

[Clawww]

If it doesn't work in 6 minutes the problem is serious and really good we found out so early.

im certainly gonna have a serious problem

Spoiler

going to sleep sad and salty

 

[Producer]

No shit, Eurogamer.

and thus rocket raccoon was born

 

[Xater]

The thing is, better to have problems now during the beta than when the game launches. You should see that as a positive.

 

[dragn]

getting some errors now

 

[GorillaJu]

Seems like the server might be being reset. Completely down at the moment

Right. The game release is far off. If it came out next month, then I'd be pissed right now.

 

[GorillaJu]

Why? Even if it came out next month, a month is plenty of time to iron out these issues.

 

[AmethystEnd]

No instant "Extending Maintenance" tweet yet. Fingers crossed.

 

[Producer]

woo its working

 

[GorillaJu]

Seems like we're just about live, boys
