Current schedule for the release of the PS2 game is the end of April... mind you, if Sony chooses, that could move (it is later than I had originally anticipated already).

A shame it wouldn't get an 'HD' treatment to have online matchmaking if it is the PS2 ver.
IIRC, it's 1600 Yen on JPN PSN right?

This thread wouldn't be right without this as a first post.

[Malvingt2]

is not even the best version.. T_T

[Tizoc]

^Were you expecting the EO edition =P

Useless without online.

Hmmm....maybe it'll get announced during PAX East as an HD-like release and Sven is just being forshadowing =O

[Lord-Audie]

You mean the DC ver?

[dragonflys545]

OMG got me all excited :(

[lupinko]

is not even the best version.. T_T

Outside of weird fanboyism, I don't see how this statement can be made.

It's the same game as the DC port and the Naomi original. This isn't some janky altered port like Xbox/GC CvS2EO.

[jon bones]

still my favorite fighting game of all time. i can't even remember how many hours my bros and i playe this.

ok

still my favorite fighting game of all time. RAISING STORM

it is right there on my list..

[ramoisdead]

I would love an HD version for CvS2 but who knows if SNK will be on board for that. I guess this is better than nothing. At least I don't have to pay a lot of money for a used copy.

[Tizoc]

OMG got me all excited :(

Tried to find a good positioning for PS2 so the reader would know what is being planned for release, guess at the start wasn't a good place huh? ^_^;

THIS IS TUNA WITH BACON

CvS2 man. Such an amazing game. Would love to see it hit modern consoles in ANY permutation really.

[Freedom = $1.05]

I'll take a 480p version, no real features, just online play. Basically, give me the Xbox version and ill be happy as fuck.

[Valnen]

is not even the best version.. T_T

Explain.

STAHP IT. This song is ruined for me.

[Reiko]

Why? PS2 version does not look as good as the Naomi/DC version...

[Omegasquash]

[sixteen-bit]

Explain.

Visual downgrade over DC port. I remember the first time I played it, I found the jaggies shocking.

I hate you.....

[AAK]

Can't wait until the stream monsters react to this game on weeklies and majors. If they though SFxT was a slow defensive game... I'm almost grinning at their reactions.

People already hate blanka and he wasn't even good in SF4.

Hah I've felt the same for some time now everytime I watch CvSNK2. It's like...poking...blocking, but at least there's a good damage output. Wish it had more flashy combo options outside A-Groove tho =/

Awful IQ overall. No progressive scan either.

This game is really fun to play, unlocking the boss characters was great...too bad I couldn't use them in a tournament...

I think Evil Ryu, at least, was considered for being 'un-banned' since he isn't very overpowered.

[MiniBossBattle]

Hype? I can't tell if this is good news or bad news. Amazing its coming out but no online?

[tiggerkiddo]

Haha...what was wrong with O Rugal and True Akuma?

[sixteen-bit]

Evil Ryu was available from the beginning wasn't he? I thought the only unlocks were Shin Akuma and God Rugal.

[NekoFever]

Awful IQ overall. No progressive scan either.

From a PAL perspective as well, it was bordered 50Hz. The Dreamcast version ran full screen, full speed, 60Hz. And it supported VGA. No comparison.

[kunonabi]

Awful IQ overall. No progressive scan either.

dc speed is also closer to the arcade. it isn't really a huge deal though since most cvs2 tournies were always run on ps2 anyway.

i don't think any game is slower than cvs2. even with lower entrant numbers cvs2 tournies would take as long or longer than anything else being run. it didn't help that 95% of the time matches would just come down to the anchors with minor differences in meter and health. it's just awful for spectators.

Since there is no online and it's not a remake of any sort, I don't think people will pick it back up again.

But you're right, people would hate the the sheer amount of block stringy goodness this has to offer. Not to mention Sagat's crouching fierce.

[kazuo]

Visual downgrade over DC port. I remember the first time I played it, I found the jaggies shocking.

More importantly, the sprites are a tiny bit smaller and the timing is slightly off.

DC is a better port, it's basically the arcade since Naomi <-> DC.

PS2 is still playable and easier for tournament organizers to deal with than the DC version, it just isn't the best port.

[Max Knight]

I...

am pretty excited.

[No_Style]

THIS IS TUNA WITH BACON CvS2 man. Such an amazing game. Would love to see it hit modern consoles in ANY permutation really.

Welp. Song ruined...or enhanced? I'm not sure.

[spoonztt]

If the Japanese release is anything to go by, then this will have some input lag.

[fvng]

Deserves HD

[Aru]

Was the PAL version of CvsS2 terrible? I'm not sure it included a 60Hz mode.
This is one of my favorite fighters but I know I won't play it again if I buy it.
Maybe on sale.

[GuardianE]

THIS IS TUNA WITH BACON

Hahahah, oh man... I laughed while listening to it now. D:

[Mr.Fresh]

Damn I would've bought this if they Had made it an Online Edition. my brother moved to another state so we can only play online now,

[RS4-]

Yeah seriously, no online, no buy.

[antibolo]

I bought it on the Japanese PSN a while ago.

It's not like you're missing much playing it in Japanese anyway.

[DiscoShark]

This game deserved the Iron Galaxy treatment (minus new art). Shame we won't be seeing a proper Online Edition.

[SarcasticD]

Step 1 to a new CvS3!

In my dreams. Why do I do this to myself

[FinKL]

Geese Howard as a CPU cheated :| "PREDICTABLE"

Are you sure you're talking about the actual Xbox and GC versions, which are pretty great yet just happen to have a 100% optional simplified control mode?

[Recall]

Yeah seriously, no online, no buy.

I do not understand the fuss. It's not a game getting HD treatment and they have not cut out features as its the standard PS2 version and will be a part of the PS2 classics like those already on PSN.

The game is incredible, it was upon release and still is today.
