What is Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix?

http://games.capcomdigital.com/streetfighterIIhdr/

SUPER STREET FIGHTER® II TURBO: HD REMIX

One of the most popular games of the early '90s is reborn! Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix, originally developed by Capcom® for the arcade, makes its downloadable debut on the Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PLAYSTATION®Network. Capcom maintains the integrity of the popular game by utilizing the original game code while upgrading the graphics with new artwork and high resolution 1080p images. Again, all of the art, from character animation to stage backgrounds,
are completely redrawn by Udon Entertainment, the company responsible for the US Street Fighter series of comics. Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix includes both online and offline competition for one or two players.

CAPCOM® ANNOUNCES THE “SEASON OF STREET FIGHTER®”!
An Amazing Array of Downloadable Surprises Arrive in Celebration of the Launch of Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix

SAN MATEO, CA — November 19, 2008 Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, is proud to announce the “Season of Street Fighter®” in celebration of the imminent release of Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix, coming to PlayStation®Network on November 25, 2008, and Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on November 26, 2008. The “Season of Street Fighter” will feature an assortment of Street Fighter-themed downloadable content (DLC) packs, music inspired by Street Fighter, and newly revamped digital destination points for both the Xbox LIVE online games and entertainment network and PlayStation®Network.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/sven/blog/2008/11/20/ssf2_turbo_hd_remix_pricing__official

So, it would seem there's some erroneous rumors going around about the pricing of HD Remix. While we probably would have been happy to keep the speculation going another couple days (hell, we love the attention), we had some concerns that the speculation was turning unproductive.

So let me end all of the rumors once and for all.

HD Remix will be coming to Xbox Live Marketplace on 11/26 for 1200 MS points.

It will arrive on 11/25 on PlayStation Network for $14.99. You will see standard international price adjustments for overseas PSN stores when it eventually arrives.

When you see Rey's blog post next week that has EVERYTHING that HD Remix offers, I think it's fair to say that it's one of the best gaming values anywhere.

Enjoy.


Special Feature: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Paraphernalia

http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/...bo_arrives_ushers_in_season_of_street_fighter

You heard about the Street Fighter table for Pinball FX, but that was just the beginning. We've also got a Street Fighter UNO DLC pack, featuring cards with signature Street Fighter specials, as well as your favorite SF backgrounds and themed music. And last but not least, Capcom will also have another “Little” Street Fighter surprise coming to the PSN soon.(Most likely PAIN DLC)

And just in case you thought you knew what to expect from Street Fighter, think again. In addition to all the Street Fighter DLC, I'm also excited to announce a direct-to-download album of Street Fighter-inspired hip-hop! The Street Fighter Underground Remix album will feature the musical flavor of artists such as DJ Qbert, Hieroglyphics, Redman, Oh No, DJ Toure, Mistah F.A.B. and Zion I. Each of the cuts will be available exclusively on PlayStation Network, FOR FREE, when SF HD Remix launches!

You can find all of this juice at our Street Fighter digital destination sites, on the New Xbox Experience and the PlayStation Network.

Special Feature: Street Fighter II Uno Pack In-Depth

http://www.capcom-unity.com/jimmyre..._fighter_unomore_devious_than_you_can_imagine

Devious you say? From a classic family fun game like Uno? Well, let me explain. Available sometime next month will be a Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix themed card deck for the already top selling Uno for XBLA. This deck will feature:

- HD background of Sagat's stage from HD Remix

- Sagat's classic level music.

- Portrait art of characters on all the cards.

- Animation of Street Fighter moves on special cards.

But let me get to the devious part now. The game will play just like the normal Uno you know any love; there's blocks, jumps, wilds, and reverses. Added to the game is a new command card, the Hadoken. Here's how it works, when a someone plays the Hadoken card, they can pick whoever it's played against, and that player must draw cards until they pick up a block or jump card.

Doesn't sound too bad, but check out what happened to me. I'm sitting here, playing a friendly game against the AI and BAM! Mr. Orange player here plays a Hadoken card on me:

After playing the game for a couple of days, from the original SSFIIT cast, the harder character to beat, in my opinion, was Blanka. I know both Vega and Bison were usually bitches, but Blanka used to be so easy.

So this time around I really had trouble with him, the old trick of moving back then forward, grab/throwing him and repeat, doesn't work now :lol And of course Akuma is just a real challenge.

I actually enjoyed changing the graphics to the original style better, they still have the better designs.

The speed is the same but the moves are easier to get off. It feels "smoother" than the old school version but doesnt have added frames of animation.

It has both the classic SSFIIT option and the new Remix one, which is considerable faster. But I think it is just about as choosing game speeds in the old SNES game.

you can play either new rebalanced ST or you can play old ST.

but there's also a dipswitch menu I believe that lets u tweak the system a la 3S, tho I doubt your rules would apply online

For all my hating, Ill buy it. Still dislike the art though, backgrounds in particular.

Those changes should make the game much more balanced and fun.

That said, I can't wait. I figure this will keep me interesting until SFIV. Already started playing GGPO ST to get ready a bit.

Old art is still in there, and you can swap them even mid-fight by the pause menu.

So I could not only cut out the terrible "re-balancing", but ALSO cut out the hideous new art? SO AWESOME.

Do you have to play Old Art vs Old Art games, or can you just set yourself to Old Art and play with everyone?

If you mean for online play, I don't know, but I would think that's just a client-side change. Swaping the sprites shouldn't alter the game, since it is all about the hit boxes (which you have them on the training mode).
 
with the amount of time this game has been in development, I can't imagine anything less then $20


PS3 version will be mine next Tuesday
