HD Guile gets banged, Capcom reacts

  Guile’s had a tough week. After Capcom released concept art for the HD version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, fans reacted rather negatively, and it caught the development team’s attention.

Producer Rey Jimenez acknowledged that the fan response wasn’t what they would have wanted, but said it was a good thing because the developers can address it before the title launches in XBLA and PSN.

“Well it was a pretty rough week for Guile. Reaction to his new artwork ranged pretty widely. Thanks for all the feedback,” says Jimenez. “We are definitely listening. I won’t go into specifics, but we are considering revising some of his look based on the reactions I’ve been reading on the blog and many of the boards I keep up with.”

Although it would be unlikely that all of the suggestions made will be reflected in Guile’s final model for the game, careful consideration has been made and improvements are said to be in progress. We’re hoping for the best when this old-school brawler visits us again.
