No on-line for PS2.
This is probably Capcom's most Bush-like business decision of the year.
Where is Street Fighter hugely popular? (Hint: Japan)
Where is Playstation 2 the king of the jungle? (Hint: Japan)
Which electronic pariah is getting an on-line version of said hugely popular in Japan fighting series? (Hint: Xbox)
Yeah, way to celebrate the 15th anniversary of SF Capcom, you retards.
If you're unhappy with this clusterf@ck of a business decision, make sure you write a letter of discontent to Capcom, and let them know. Not an e-mail, and no more whining on irrelevant message boards.
Write those pigf@cks a letter expressing your feelings on the issue, and mail it to them.
I've voiced my opinion to every jerk on Capcom's corporate page, foolish enough to list their name. Oh sure, that's no promise they would read the letter, but at the very least I've put some wear and tear on their paper shredder.

What? That XBox seems to be doing decently in online fighters while Sony can't get anyone on board? Even Capcom in Japan announced their KDDI service would no longer cover PS2 fighters, and the CVS2 and Gundam servers would shut down at the end of the summer. This is really one area where Microsoft has done well and corned a market, niche as it is.dark10x said:
The fact that GCN and PS2 have exactly the same number of online JP fighters says something.

-Iron Phoenix
-Guilty Gear X2 #Reload = On PS2, + Isuka

-The King of Fighters 2002/2003 = On PS2
-Samurai Showdown V/V Special = On PS2
-Dead or Alive Ultimate

Plus add:
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
Tekken Tag Tournament
Tekken 4
King of Fighters 2000/2001
And things are pretty much balanced out and equal between both consoles.

No offense, but if it's the same one I'm thinking of, it also mentions how well the game plays on the Type S controller.
Last I looked the PS2 didn't have a Type S controller. Although IGN seems to have overlooked that, in addition to other things, in their rush to bloat their site with "content".
The KDDI servers are being replaced with a Sony networking solution. I expect this to become the standard for such titles in Japan. The details were in the same news article that announced the closing of the KDDI servers.

This certainly doesn't sound like a Capcom USA decision to me. Unless they have some absurd amount of input on the Japanese end of things.

That's because those games go online via unwidely available USB modems and I hear they're laggy. I would suggest Capcom re-release Capcom vs. SNK 2 for the PS2 with EO mode, Network Adapter support and KDDI account compatibility (for those with BioHazard Outbreak and Monster Hunter). Capcom chould charge 3800 Yen or cheaper too.
Well, I think that's bullshit. I mean, don't get me wrong as I have Xbox Live! already and can play it online there along with my xbox -> PS2 adapter, but dammit, I'd much rather use the PS2 controller on the Sony console not to mention the friend who I play all the time here at my house [on DC with DC -> PS2 adapters] owns a PS2 only and doesn't really want to shell out all the cash [game, Live, system, adapter] just to play this game. Sure, it's an investment when you think about it, but shrinking it down to 30 bucks only as he already has the online adapter and all the necessary stuff to play online with his PS2 as well would have been nice for him.
I guess my dissapointment in Capcom, at this point, is just forever growing, lest of course we forget their "brand new" fighter.

I've already written a letter to those idiots at Capcom... If they're assuming that this won't sell well on PS2 already, then they're really going to find justification for their statement once the masses find out that it doesn't have online features.
I would've purchased the game before, but I'm certainly not going to unless they add online. I can imagine a lot more people having the same mindset. There's simply too little competition around here for me to purchase a fighting game. Fighting games were MADE for online, but it is foolishly being omitted in this case... If they can make an obviously niche title like Auto Modellista online, there is no excuse for Street Fighter not being online. Maybe if enough people wrote in, Capcom would get the hint.

I just want Capcom to release an arcade perfect version of SF3 Third Strike for a home console, and to do it as soon as possible. I don't give a shit about online play, since lag ruins SF. Considering how bad the sales for CvS2 EO on Xbox were, Capcom probably thinks most SF fans are like me. For people who want SF3 online, there is the Xbox version which hits a little bit later.
auto modellista wasn't inteded to be a niche release though, Capcom was hoping it'd become one of their premier franchises (they were expecting 600k in sales in Japan alone, probably over 2 million worldwide). 2D fighters on the other hand are most definitely niche in todays market...kevm3 said:
