So I've been playing it for a few hours now on the PSTV. Here are my take aways:
- It's a pretty faithful port of the original and visually is pretty great on a 4K upscaled display. However, there isn't any sprite flickering when in T.O.P. Mode
- Updated menus, theme and art pack are nice
- Lack of USB controller support means playing with a Dualshock controller. After spending most of my time playing on a cab, it takes a bit of adjustment. Luckily this shouldn't be an issue on the PS4.
- C+D mapped to L1 = riding L1 as Grant through story mode. Doing this can cause slowdowns.
-Defaulting the difficulty level to MVS is appreciated. Unlike the iOS port that knows that playing fighters on your phone kinda sucks.
- I tried a few times to start a multiplayer game. Connection failed each time. I was able to finally play a few matches. Sub 100ms matches play pretty spot on. Most people I tried to connect with however had ~200ms lag. Slow. Ass. Shit.
Overall it's a decent enough version that is superior compared to the mobile versions but falls short in a few areas compared to the classic MVS/AES releases. If you don't have the original, this would wet most players appetite. If you are all about the online play, this may be decent on the PS4. Hardwired. On both ends.
