Although the console release is still on schedule for release this Friday (Mar. 6th), the PC version has been pushed back a week from it’s initial release of Mar. 13th. Now planned for PC release on the 20th, the demo is still availible for download. I strongly suggest it, the demo is great fun and it should shape up to be a great game.

As we told you a few weeks ago, the PC release of SFIV has now been delayed to summer ’09, because of the anti-piracy tactics they Capcom was trying with this release. Well, according to Capcom’s VP, Christian Svensson, these claims are absurd and completely untrue. The reality is that even though the arcade machines run Windows builds of the game, they are far from PC-ready. Lacking special content and proper customization options to run properly and as intended on a Windows-based PC. Because of that, the PC release has been delayed to get it to a proper build.
“So, to put things into perspective, the Street Fighter IV team is working on two things right now. They’re finishing the PC SKU, and people are like, well the arcade was the PC, how hard can it be? Well we had all of these additions for the console version in terms of content that didn’t exist on the PC. All of that needs to be rolled back in.” – Christian Svensson, VP Capcom
Is it possible that Capcom realised that this “anti-piracy tactic” they had announced would actually desimate their sales and are now denying these claims? In any case, it matters not. The game is still set for release this summer, anti-piracy or not.

The demo for Tom Clancy’s latest game HAWX has been released for PC today. Normally I would post here with my very first thoughts on the demo, but because it comes in at 1.2GB and I have yet to completely download it, we’ll do something different. You guys can go ahead and download it and post your opinions here if you’d like.

A couple things are worth mentioning about the Tech Olive site itself and we feel our loyal readers must know about these things. Trust us, it’s nothing terribly bad.
- First off, you might have noticed the shoutbox is kaput. We replaced it with Twitter updates from Tech Olive’s Twitter account as well as Tim and I’s Twitter accounts. If you have Twitter, we would appreciate the follows.
- Lastly, I’ve been informed that the site doesn’t really enjoy collaborating with Internet Explorer. After all these months, I’ve never received any complaints about this, but I guess it takes just one person to start a fire. I won’t mention any names Jakob Griffith but we are going to start working on this issue, that way Tech Olive will work properly on as many browsers as possible.
If you have any questions or other complaints that we should know about, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
