Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on track for 2008 release
Despite a beta plagued with problems, Capcom has announced that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is still lined up for a release this year. Hopefully, the buggy-as-hell beta means a non-buggy final release of the game.
Despite a beta plagued with problems, Capcom has announced that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is still lined up for a release this year. We’re not offered any specific release date though, but I guess a promise that we don’t have to wait until after the New Year is good enough. I guess.
Still, if it means a bug-free game, I’m all for it. Don’t know if you guys managed to get in the beta, but it was, well, let’s just say I’d rather play the game back on my SNES. Let’s hope that the buggy-as-hell beta means a non-buggy final release of the game. Rey Jimenez, the game’s associate producer, has this to say about the beta:
We are in the home stretch. We’re basically closing out all the bugs that came up in the open beta and a few other open issues.
There were many issues with networking that got a lot of the help from the beta. We used the beta as a test bed to roll out new tech on our side and the beta identified what we were doing right and what needed to be adjusted.
On the level where the beta revealed problems with the code (what a beta is for), it was a huge success. […] I realize that it might not have provided the best experience for our testers, for which I apologize, but it will all help the final game be a better product.
