Super SF2 Turbo HD Remix?

[Gino]

Oh sure the hardware is nicer after 3 revisions.

What, ps1->2->3? Or you mean within the PS3 family?

You could argue that Xbox->360 showed that MS learned almost nothing about console hardware design, and they definitely have had ample time to fix their p.o.s. box!

Anyway, Sirlin has notes on changes for KEN, the character people pick before they realise Ryu is always better.

Within the ps3 family. it sort of keeps getting worse too:
ps3 60GB (usa)
ps3 60GB - Only software backwards compatibility (nz)
ps3 40GB - No backwards compatibility, only 2 usb ports and no SACD support (nz now)

I'm sure the next version won't have wifi, might not even play ps3 games XD
At least now its only $799.

You can hear the xbox running in the lounge from our bedroom. The other thing is you can SEE our ps3 collecting dust like mad.

Personally I'd rather have the shittier, newer models because they don't have crap I don't need, and therefore cost less. Interesting that they have broken their "ALWAYS HAVE BACKWARDS COMPAT!" tone, though. Not having wifi would be super-shitty though. I don't know that I'd call them REVISIONS as such, that implies a bit more than ripping off chips for cost cutting measures... it does reduce power usage and heat output though.

And LOL at Stu...

the announcing is stil the same as the old school street fighter, i've seen the previews on youtube, the artistic drawing very impressive.

i think they need to refix the voice... using old school street fighter 2... ummm its gonna be a shame =( hope they wil improve the voice & announcing 

[fluxcore]

Agreed about announcer (and Guile!) but I barely even notice anymore. The game is good enough to put up with it.

An interesting note is capcom mentions adding hit box display.
Mother fucking hit box display!

For only 800ms points you can get Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 with the beta of SS2THDR which is available now.

If someone gets it tell me because I'll get it too, I have some spare ms points lying around

EDIT: Wow it seems the beta is not available till the 25th of June, Doh!

That's not the way it's working though. We are still one of the most expensive countries to buy a new PS3 but we lose features
I'm actually pissed about this because it means I have to keep my PS2 to play KOFXI, Alpha 3 and CvS2. My fiance still likes buying new PS2 RPGs as well.

Well, it IS working that way, it's just that if they DID have those features we'd pay even more...

I emulate CvS2 and A3, so the only games I can't play through my PC are KoFXI and GGXXAC. I get ~40fps for them using PCSX2, which isn't quite enough unfortunately
Luckily SF4 is supposed to be on PC as well, not so happy about console-only HDremix though.
