Hi,

Beta for this starts today. If you load up "Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3" (Has been on XBLA for 2 weeks) there is a link within the game to download the Beta client for the new SF2 game. (Yesterday the link didn't work but it goes live today).

I bought that Commando game just for the beta tbh (800 MS Points).

Anyone else excited or gonna be fighting online later tonight?

Edit: Can a passing mod add "(XBLA)" to the title of the thread please.
Edit2: and add " Turbo" before the Colon.

Where in the game is the link? Would love to play the beta of the new SF. Even if I have to buy 800 points and get a XBLA game I don't want :)

Within the game menu, which then kicks of the XBLA client download through dashboard. (Similar to what Crackdown/Halo 3 beta did).

I bought the game just for the beta, will play the actual game one day when I am bored and have no other games to play.

It will be crap with the D-Pad for the 360, but as the beta is not on PSN (which is the version I will buy for the full game as a I have a ps3 fighting stick) this is the only way to play a bit of the game early.

So is there an offical release date for the final product? I've seen releases of July,
September and October :s

I'm so confused..........
 
So is this just Street Fighter 2 in HD or has the gameplay been revamped...etc? Frankly I found Street Fighter 2 to be a terrible game, it just doesn't seem to be a very good fighting game, UMK3 seems so much better.

I think it is July-August (This is the final testing as far as I know, as they ahev been doing internal balance and net code tweaking for about 1 yr!!). Also this will be the 1st 360 game from XBLA that uses the new 250b (/) filesize limit.

Ignoring the sillyness in your post :)


There is 2 games you get, a brand new 1080p game with the tweaked mechanics of the old game, but with every single background and sprite redrawn in HD (not upscaled, stretched etc).

Also you get the classic game with classic graphics as well as with or without the new tweaked gameplay (balanced characters).

This is not the Street Fighter 2 Turbo game from SNES or Championship Edition from the Mega Drive. It's closest "relative" is the version of this game that was on the DC (A rubbish SNES port was released at some point but it was not a great port, by any means).

An example of the graphical changes:

I still remember the joke the last Street Fighter 2 was on XBLA, it was a 'must have' that everyone was banging on about for the MP over Xbox Live and then people never played it again after the first 2 days.

Thats without mentioning the horrible lag/latency, people quitting from ranked matches (which never registered the match as a loss) and the E.Honda spammers that just mashed the same button over and over while sliding along the floor :p Biggest waste of 800 points I ever spent.

Loved the game back in its day, but I shall not be wasting anymore money on this version or any others ever again.

This is kinda how I'm feeling about this one :p I'd love to check it out as I was a huge SF fan in the past and spent so many hours in the arcade playing it but meh, I'm not sure if I'll bother or not.

I'll see what people's thoughts are on it first.

Speak for yourself, I played it for months. The lag is the reason for this Beta! People who had played the SNES (easy) version, cried a lot because it was an arcade port with arcade difficulty levels which certainly made it less approachable for some players, but a lot of people enjoyed it. I am sure it was in the top played games in XBLA for quite a while.

Thanks for that:D

I genuinely can't wait for this to be released, i've spent so much time playing SSF2X on my DC (imported for £60!! :( ) over the years and it finally looks like we'll have a real ultimate edition of (in my opinion) the best version of SF2 ever!:D

I really hope they sort out any lag issues as SF2T on XBL could be very laggy sometimes :mad:

Thats not hard considering there were no other decent XBLA games out then :p

We tried everynight for just over a week when it hit Xbox Live trying to get people to play, but nobody ever wanted to because of the problems (the crap D-Pad, inconsistant anologue sticks, Lag and the E.Honda spamming [not in our games, we always used Ryu/Ken :)]).

The only reason I bought it was for the OcUK Multiplayer action of which was pretty non-existant.
 
Are you sure you are not thinking of Sensi Soccer and Speedball 2 which were going to be saviours of XBLA and turned out to be played for 2 weeks only? :)

Bizarre, I played loads of games with OcUK people (mainly 4 player mode) and apart from the lag, had no issues (generally I have/had good net connection so lag is less of an issue when I host, although in the 4 player games the hosts swapped, annoyingly). Control, I had no problems with (but I bought the DOA4 arcade stick to play this :) ). E- Honda was annoying.

The biggest problem I found actually was with character balance which was always a bit iffy in the earlier games, which is why I look forward to this new rebalanced edition.

The Beta has only Ryu and Ken in it.

I quiet enjoyed the Demo of Commando 3 (hey I like brain dead shooter games) and got 1700 points on Live so might buy it to get this Beta - screenies look cool.

(OT but Capcom related - when the hell are they going to release Bionic Commando Rearmed!? I brought my MS points just for it months ago cos I thought its release was soon :confused: )
