Street Fighter IV PC Specs Set

The SFIV blog saw its weekly update today. The big focus this week is on the PC version of the game, complete with a first look at the system requirements.

And they are as follows:

The left is the required. The right is the recommended. I think English speakers should be able to figure out most everything in there without translation. The very bottom is "Input Device," listing mouse and keyboard as required and Xbox 360 Controller for Windows as recommended.

Natsuki Shiozawa, the blog's writer, shares some impressions having played the PC version. Impression number 1 is that the load times are fast. Depending on the environment, you could experience load times faster than you've ever experienced, she says. Impression number 2 is that the visuals are pretty.

The blog also reveals that Capcom will be releasing a benchmark program for the game close to the final July 2 release. For the record, Shiozawa's PC got rated a B.

Finally, the post closes with a look at the game's PC Settings option. You can access this from the main menu or directly from the title screen as so:

(By the way, the main menu screen, shown to the right, has the following options from top to bottom: Controller Settings, Keyboard Settings, 1P Device Settings, Screen Settings, Sound Settings, System Settings, and PC Settings).

The PC Settings option, shown above, has 18 settings, mostly related to graphics. I'm not much of a techie, so some of my translations may be off, but the options as listed in the blog are as follows.

• FPS Realtime Display
• Antialiasing Settings
• Full Screen
• Display Resolution
• Display Refresh Rate
• Display V-synch
• Frame Rate
• Aspect Ratio
• Parallel Rendering
• Texture Filter
• Model Quality
• Background Quality
• Shift Shadow Quality
• Self Shadow Quality
• Mosion Blur Quality
• Particle Quality
• Extra Touch

The last one, you'll recall, is for the various visual display modes that Capcom announced for the PC version a few weeks back.
