Basically, Alan Noon (co-designer, artist and actor of SF:TM, currently at Day 1 Studios) spills massive amounts of info about the whole saga that was making the SF:TM arcade game at Incredible Technologies. It's very interesting, regardless how shit the game turned out.

 

[farnham]

as far as i can remember i loved the game

Speaking of Street Fighter...Where can I listen to music from the EX series? They had some good tracks.

The home version was basically what... Super Turbo with each character gaining an enhanced move or two with a full meter right(trying to remember)? We had great fun with that thing.

 

[levious]

yeah, that had EX versions of their specials. And each player had one super I think.

Good reading there. I still haven't finished going through, but this was interesting:

I previously mentioned that Time Killers may have had a role in securing the SFTM deal for I.T. This is just word of mouth, but apparently when Time Killers made its debut at one of the coin op shows, the guys from Capcom were reported to be impressed with the technical execution and crowded around it, taking notes and trying to figure out how it was built.

As time wore on, it became apparent to me that this would not come to pass. I am trying to write my account of that time in an entertaining tone to keep the text interesting, but the truth is that the end result of the SFTM project was a grave personal tragedy for me. Nobody loved Street Fighter more than me, and there I was: partly responsible for one of the most reviled games in history. I'm not proud of the game by any means, and the wasted opportunity truly does haunt me to this day.

Hehehe

I'd totally forgotten that Incredible Technologies did SF:TM. They also put out Time Killers, Bloodstorm, and Golden Tee.

 

[MegaTen]

:lol Interesting and funny read.

 

[jarrod]

IT only developed the arcade release... the console versions (based off SSF2X) were done inhouse at Capcom Japan.

 

[Bloodwake]

Wow, this is actually keeping me at work. Very, very interesting.

 

[Grok4Spock]

Very interesting read... Takes me back to the memories of that horrid game play and stiff character animation. I wish a lot more of Alan Noon's ideas got implemented, but such is the life of a time-constrained movie tie-in...

 

[Grifter]

Just read his posts, what's wish Japanese companies pouring resources into US productions but withholding access to key intel? In this case, CoJ not handing off control algorithms. Also see: countless Sega clusterf***s.

Tho I'm glad that Capcom nixed his vision of Sheng Long and his scaly claw hands. That's Bloodstorm material right there.

Throw it up on XBLA. I dare ya. :lol

 

[Mejilan]

Throw it up

Sounds about right, yeah.

 

[svenuce]

Really cool read.

So, I had a look at the SFTM video on youtube, and I came across this.

[Shanks]

I used to love that game back in the day..

 

[D-X]

Really interesting stuff over there

 

[Parallax Scroll]

They should make a documentary about this. They could call it Street Fighter the movie the game the movie.

whoa, so they were totally different? Never played the arcade version, only the Saturn one.
