Capcom released the specs for Street Fighter IV on the PC earlier today via e-mail. While the minimum specs were posted a while ago, the 'maximum' specs are new and should provide gamers a good idea of what it's going to take to be able to run Street Fighter IV the way it should be played. While my laptop is definitely out of the question (no Street Fighter IV on the go for me it seems), my new desktop should be able to handle the game at maximum without any issues.Street Fighter IV is going to be released on June 30th in two packages. The first package will be the game alone and it will retail for $39.99. The second will be the game and a MadCatz fight pad (which is actually not half bad if it's the same quality of the console release)retailing for $59.99. Despite owning the PS3 version of the game, I'm definitely considering picking it up on the PC as well for a good look at the differences between the two versions.
While there aren't any real bonus features to the PC version of Street Fighter IV, we do get some nifty filters to play around with. Win?
One thing I'm curious about is whether or not with the minimum system specs if the game will still run at the appropriate speed... With inputs being incredibly important, any delay or jerkiness would really be a bit of a detriment to the experience.
The system specs are posted below. I've also included the Taito Type-X2 specs that the original arcade game was running on reference.
