SF HD hands-on /first impressions/mini reviews

Post by John James Pacinelli »

:awe:

Anybody in the U.S. and A. got SFHD? If so could you please post your first impressions/mini review here?

To start off:

1)Can you describe the option menu (dip switches, if you can select the old sprites, 4:3, etc etc)?

HAARGH! It's official you cannot select the old sprites for the backgrounds, only for the charachters... why ffs??? I would have loved to play with the old sprites and the new remixed gameplay. Big mistake Capcom.

IGN's review

http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/932/932803p1.html

I am disgusted. This review is absolutely superficial, it's like the author had not played the game. Shame on you Mr. Gayan Dements.

The previous one was for release date / price. This one would be for hands-on reviews.

maybe some specific questions...

1)How do you find the graphics? (Good/bad, out of proportion characters etc.. )
2)Who does the 16:9 thing is working out for you? Does it effect the gameplay? Do you prefer 4:3?
3)Can you confirm you cannot select the old sprites for the BG?
4)Is it true that the CPU AI in remixed mode has been dumbed down?
5)Overall, how do you find the gameplay in the remixed mode? Acceptable also for purists?
6)If you pause the game can you access a list of on screen command moves?
7)Tried the new Zangief moves with no freaking 360? Feels good? :awe:
8)How's the online? They say its kinda laggy...

Very well. Just one thing:

10) when you play online can you choose either mode or it has to be remixed?

kernow wrote:either mode.

you could play with remixed music and new sprites, and your opponent could be playing with normal sprites and original music. which is pretty cool I guess.

Bueno

That's why SF is THE game. You just could play it forever, this game is infinite :awe:

Here's the 360 download link for anyone interested. Couldn't find it on the marketplace and the majornelson link doesn't work.
