Ultra Street Fighter 4 on PS4 Will Support PS3 Arcade Sticks

New trailer touts the game as "the ultimate version."

63 Comments

Capcom has released a new trailer for the PS4 exclusive re-release of Ultra Street Fighter IV, ahead of its digital release on May 26. Additionally, Sony has confirmed the PS4 version will be compatible with PS3 sticks.

Posting on the EU PlayStation Blog, Sony's director of third party productions, Gio Corsi, confirmed the compatibility drivers, which were created by Skullgirls developer Lab Zero, had been included.

"Ultra Street Fighter IV will support PS4 FightSticks, of course," said Corsi. "But we’ve also included Lab Zero’s drivers so that USFIV will support licensed PS3 FightSticks as well."

Lab Zero's drivers allow any arcade stick that identifies itself as a Generic USB GamePad or Joystick to work. This means the MadCatz's officially licensed line of controllers and sticks, which are incredibly popular among fighting game players, will be supported.

Some smaller brands and custom builds such as GodLike Controls' Cthulhu boards will also work. However, it must be noted that milage may vary for other sticks, particularly those that identify themselves as a DualShock input.

It is advisable to consult Capcom Unity or the Lab Zero's site after Ultra Street Fighter IV launches on PS4 for further compatibility details.

Corsi also confirmed the game will run at 1080p and 60 frames per second. The minor input lag PS3 players of the previous Street Fighter IV titles have endured has also been eliminated.

Ultra Street Fighter IV for PS4 will include all previously released costume DLC. Recently released content such as the Vacation and Wild costumes will also be included, as well as the Omega Mode.

The PS4 edition of Ultra Street Fighter IV was originally announced in December and is due to launch sometime this spring. Pricing has not been announced.

Capcom and Sony previously announced Street Fighter V. The game is currently in development for PS4 and PC only, and will support cross-platform play.

I really wish i liked this generations street fighter. I wanted to so badly. I feel like they took a huge step backwards from third strike. The art style and parry system will always make 3rd strike the best SF. I hope 5 is good but based on the art it seems kinda lame (to me ).

I can't wait for this title. I think the $24.99 price is just right for a last gen remaster (1080p/60fps) with all the dlc. I only played the original SFIV back when it launched on PS3/X360, so I'm very excited to get the latest/best "Ultra" version on PS4.

Really wish GoW3 Remastered was more in this price range as it rightfully should be.

Will the game offer any SP content? No.

Will the game offer a solid netcode like GGPO? No.

Will the game offer multiple online modes like 1 vs. 1 instead of forcing players to lobby mode that's abused by dumbass enlisted? No.

Will the game be complete? No.

Will the game only have one version? No.

Will the game's roster number have the same amount as USFIV seeing how Crapcunt is recycling models? No.

Will the game's roster have a even diverse cast of characters from multiple SF games? No.


Is the game going to have held back DLC characters that you have to buy? Yes.

Is Crapcunt going to have mostly SFII characters to try to cash in on the SFII nostalgia in order to get the game to sell even though it didn't work for SFXT? Yes.

Is the game going to have 8 versions? Yes.

Is Crapcunt stupid enough to think SFV will sell 2 million even though they can only sell one million? Yes.

Will SFV be the final game in the SF series? Yes.


Well, my decision has been made. No buy.

@reborn3211@huyi12: what the hell are you talking about?


The worst offense that capcom has ever committed as far as fighting games are concerned is the whole DLC fiasco with SFXT or the short life of MVC3 before ultimate launched.


SF4 was always a great bang for buck. The various revisions of SF4 can at reduced price as compared to standard new release games for those that didnt already own sf4. The upgrade cost for existing owners was chump change. All of this is a quarter of what CoD junkies are asked to fork out each year

Easily my favorite game from the last generation. I'll stick with Steam for now, but glad it's not getting lost in the generation change tide.


Backwards compatibility and all that would've been nice, ya know, so something like this wasn't needed though.

Playing this game on a CRT TV would make any significant difference on lag reduction?

They always do...CRT tvs are always the best when it comes to playing fighting games or first person shooters. Most pro gamers usually play with a CRT just for that reason

@wellplayedgamer: I was wondering about that because sometimes I've watched a tournament video and the players use HDTVs either way. I also use my fight stick for top-down view shootemups (like Under Defeat). And the stick works wonders for Final Fight: Double Impact :D

@wellplayedgamer: How can you use a CRT TV with the current gen consoles? They all have HDMI output... if you use a converter, wouldn't it put a lag in the video because o f the conversion time?

For $25 I get every piece of DLC and all fighters? Not a bad deal. Why would I even bother buying Street Fighter 5 on PS4 now though? We all know it's going to have like 5+ different releases with TONS of DLC. I just don't understand this from a business stand point. Or maybe they believe it will draw in new players for Street Fighter 5 but for a casual fan like myself this would be more than enough to satisfy my needs only thing it won't have is as pretty graphics.

@BigT232: If you're doing the tournament thing you've got to get in on the ground floor. It will be expensive no doubt, but thems the breaks.

Pay attention Microsoft. My beloved mad catz fighting stick is still gathering dust much to my annoyance. Sony have really got it right on this one. Shame the evil buggers are keeping steetfighter to themselves!
