Support NeoGAF

Nice to see port begging finally being cracked down on. All of the previous threads for this game were ruined by that garbage.

I'll probably wait and see how that FTP Soul Calibur on PS3 turns out first. If it disappoints, then I'll go with this. I'll get it eventually either way to play for Spawn and Heihachi for the first time. And to get the glorious Talim back.

 

[pretty done]

Damn, I really wanted this but what a bad time to release! Maybe, just maybe I'll pick it up if it works with the DS4 but I honestly doubt it with nextgen about to be here. Maybe I'll just wait for the SC2 HD HD PS4 release

Just wondering: you know the FTP SC is single player only?

 

[Raticus79]

Is that why they got banned? Wow...

I'm guessing it isn't permanent. Learned from their example anyway...

 

[bodyboarder]

If I still have a current gen console when this is released I'll get it. Though for $20 I'm hoping for an awesome HD version.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Whoa, did not even know about this release, somehow.

In for at least the title on 360. Really loved this back in the day.

 

[LittleToaster]

£14.99 PSN
€18.99

I'm seeing £11.99 / €14.99 / AU$21.95 in the European PlayStation Store for its pre-order.

Link to pre-order of SC2HD in EU PSN webstore

 

[IvorB]

Probably a two week job.

 

[twinturbo2]

Hmm...Can't decide if I want this on 360 or PS3.

Probably 360 as fighting games in my experience tend to be more populated.

I may get the X360 version so the old warhorse can get some more mileage.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i'm playing the PS2 version nowadays. still looks pretty good.

 

[Squire]

I was thinking all weekend they'd need to put a date in this soon.

Day 1 on PSN and hopefully it's DS4 compatible.

 

[Phoenix Fang]

Row of port beggers banned XD...Persona announcement will be a graveyard

Watch everyone be Kilik lmao

If only these rules would be applied elsewhere in the forums, it would make NeoGAF a much better place.

I'm guessing it isn't permanent. Learned from their example anyway...

It's permanent if you're a junior, unless that's been changed.

 

[Freshmaker]

Be glad I don't play her right then! She was just my replacement for Hwang, really (and Amy wasn't in this so that's a no go).

But there's Assassin...

F2P is single player only. It's really not competition.

Thing is we don't know if they're playable. Hopefully they are.

 

[Freshmaker]

It's based on the PS2 version. If they were playable there...

 

[sixteen-bit]

They were playable in the western PS2 versions.

Japan release of SC2 didn't have Assassin, Berserker, or Lizardman.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Its the pal version of the game where they were available. I'm concerned if they will be playable online or not. Bets are they are but you never know.

 

[Master Thespian]

hnnnnnng

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman weren't in the Japan version? Never realized that.

Man, I have a hint of fear now they won't be in, lol. They will probably be in though. I mean shit, they are charging a fat 20!

 

[Freshmaker]

Japan release of SC2 didn't have Assassin, Berserker, or Lizardman.

It's also apparently based on Euro according to DTN. (The Nightmare player in the Nightmare vs Mitsu video.)

That's quite good to hear. Glad no arbitrary size restrictions get in the way of any content.

See you PS3ers online.

 

[SykoTech]

Just wondering: you know the FTP SC is single player only?

No I did not.Wow.

Well, that makes things easier.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Kinda a bad day to release, right in the middle of next gen madness. If there's ever a time a game will get lost in the shuffle, it's Nov20 2013.

 

[E92 M3]

Great game, but two 'wtf': Why 20 dollars, and why November 20th? Game will easily get overshadowed and the online will be dead in a month

Will still get my Hwang on, though.

Hwang?

I got bad news, homie.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

$20 is steep. I kind of wish it were playable on one of the next gen systems for that kind of scratch. I still boot up SC2 from time to time, and my 360/PS3 won't be hooked up forever.

Might be in for PS3 because of OnLive and the possibility of playing it on PS4 and Vita in the future if my PS3 ever gets kicked off HDMI port 5.

 

[bigkrev]

20 dollars is a massive bummer, and probably means I will be skipping this. Even VF5, a re-release of a former current gen disc game was only 14.99

Also, need to make sure Necrid isn't in the game before even thinking about a purchase.

 

[Syril]

It's also apparently based on Euro according to DTN. (The Nightmare player in the Nightmare vs Mitsu video.)

What's different about the PAL version? I know a lot of fighting games from this era had regeional differences.

But I need him in so I make the purchase

 

[JCX]

I'll settle for the PS3 version. Love this game's soundtrack.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Since the best SC players in the world are French, I assume it's the definitive version, lol

 

[Ultimadrago]

Sweet.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

720p is selectable in the vids, no?



Assassin = Hwang?

Not good enough.They had it right with SCIIIAE.

 

[Mr. West]

Bring it to ipad plz.

I lol'd. Can't believe he got banned for this, mods need to lighten up.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

Can't wait to get this and start beatin' fools down online with the definitive Raph.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Who do you lot play? I like Cassandra a lot in this game.

[Kimosabae]

I played essentially every character in this game competently except Voldo (never appreciated the character's aesthetic). Lived and breathed it.


My mains, though: Cervantes, Yun & Kilik.

Hwang?

I got bad news, homie.

Am I getting my Soul Calibur messed up ? What's the name of his equivalent, then?

 

[SkylineRKR]

€14,99 is day one. Releasedate is fine for Europe, its about 2 weeks before the Ps4 and months before the X1. This is another game that justifies my cancellation. I'm going to settle with this, GT6 and Symphonia.

SC2 is one of the best fighters out there, and the best in the series imho. Didn't like 3 on Ps2, IV was mediocre, V is good but bare bones.. I figured they better release SC2 again instead of making new ones.

I mostly played with Cassandra. But Xianghua and Mitsurugi as well.

 

[synce]

Terrible date and price... it's going to be a ghost town online

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Day one on 360.

Add "fgc gaf" on Xbox live if you guys wanna organize some games around launch

 

[sixteen-bit]

Am I getting my Soul Calibur messed up ? What's the name of his equivalent, then?

He was "replaced" by Yunsung, and the bonus character Assassin has a moveset like SC1 Hwang.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Who do you lot play? I like Cassandra a lot in this game.

Maxi

 

[E92 M3]

Yes, you're right - I remember that. Either way, I will play as Yungsung or Killik lol.

 

[qko]

Right when Next-gen consoles the game is targeted for are released. I'd understand if PSN and XBL games transferred, but they don't so this game is being sent to an early death. And the other two platforms (Wii U and PC) that don't have that worry are the plats that aren't getting it. Even if this were on the Wii U this is an awful time for a game like this to be released. I wonder if they will pull the old "well there just isn't the support to remake old popular games like SCIIHD"

Going to buy this during the post holiday drought and see if my cheap moves with Raphael work online.

 

[buddha0991]

Yes, you're right - I remember that. Either way, I will play as Yungsung or Killik lol.

We'll the character Assassin has Hwang's moveset

 

[Clefargle]

I can't wait to mix it up in this game again!
