"Hyper" Street Fighter II X

Hmm, I wonder how many versions of each character there will be in the game.

looks like 4 to me..

Five, it looks like.


This is ... interesting. The only thing that worries me is the interlacing issue. I hope all the old background and music variations are present, too, but that's probably asking too much.

If this doesn't have online play, I can't see how ANY of you could care about this. ESPECIALLY if it's 40-50 dollars.

you're right. i can't count, apparently.

Frankly, I'd rather buy that than CvS2. On any platform.

Doh! If I had taken 3 more seconds to look at the first screen shot, I would have answered my own question.

This is the first Capcom fighter I've been this interested in since Third Strike. I've always wanted a technically flawless home port of Super Turbo, and maybe this'll be even better than that.

Then again, maybe not. DC VC looked like a mess. Yes, I'm being a 2D graphics whore, but then again, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a perfect port of a nearly ten-year-old game.

Edit: Btw, it's interesting to note that these initial screens have a width of 384, which is exactly the horizontal resolution of the arcade games. I don't know whether that has interesting implications about the game's eventual video mode or not; probably not, but kinda cool nonetheless.

[Recap]

Game companies make games for the mass market. And very few people uses RGB output today (do they even know what's that?).

Real low-res display is only really relevant if you use RGB. Hi-res, interlaced presentation is more suitable for VGA / hi definition, which is what "casual" people demands, even if the game is low-res native.

More than a matter of laziness is one of standardization, I think.

Too bad they're only using the face potraits from Super. I'm kinda fond of the ugly potraits featured in the original and Dash.

I still don't see what's so wrong with the DC version. Looks fine to me on S-Video, no load times, and it seems to have all the animation. My only beef is I never liked the insane colors in Super Turbo. Purple Ryu, hot pink Guile. Ugh.

Seriously. If it was a SF Collection or something, with all the different versions in there (which I already have on the Saturn anyway), then we'd be talking.
