Some games just don't look good with HD, let alone on a huge screen.

[Weltall]

Can't fucking wait.

online going to suck though.. bunch of sentinels,magnetos and cable with a small variation.

[Correction]

Dear Capcom: It's not HD unless you actually create the graphics for an HD display. Just putting a 'let's blur shit and hope nobody notices' filter on your ancient fucking sprites isn't enough to call it 'HD.'

[Weltall]

No, it is going to be amazing.

I can't wait. I've never played this game personally, but it must be good because people were charging $80+ for the PS2 online at places like Amazon.

This is why I don't like people.

[Weltall]

Ps2 one is crap anyway.

No, it is going to be amazing.

Agreed, cant fucking wait. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW

I lost my CD for this on the dreamcast and was tempted to buy a used PS2 version for years but I'll get this instead.

$15, so I'll be grabbing it regardless of balancement issues.

Would it have hurt to ask for redrawn sprites ala SSF2THDR? I can't expect them to retune the gameplay given how many f$&king character and team combinations there are (people would just find a new killer comb with a rebalanced edition), but at least a little lift on the 2d-end wouldn't have killed them.

An whoo for PSN getting a demo before 360 users. Hated the shit I've seen for the last couple months where PSN users had to wait along Silver XBL owners for demoes while Gold members got it a week before *everyone*.

The redrawn sprites are part of the reason SSF2HD slipped its release date by like a year.

[Mugmug]

Epic. Can't wait.

And the sheer amount of work... Marvel vs capcom 2 has more than double the amount of characters and fancier effects.

[Kaisha]

I've no problem if they take a year delay to do the job and charge an extra $10 for all I care.

My only current worry with the existing sprites is hoping the optional filtering won't make the edges of the characters stand out horribly against the 3d backdrops.

No word on the networking system they're using by any chance? SSF2THDR developers worked off of GGPO last I checked, and I hope the same for whichever team is working on this port.

[EDIT] I hope Capcom keeps the ball rolling and does the same with Capcom vs. SNK2.

[Indalecia]

Oh snap....


But for gods sake...can we get a morrigan redraw? SERIOUSLY?! Same ones been used since like...what...95?

[Xerlic]

Wait...an updated Morrigan sprite?
