Capcom Explain Why There's No PS3 SFII HD Beta

Capcom have explained just why PS3 owners won't be getting access to the beta, listing reasons such as a finite number of resources, the fact a double-test would have pushed the actual game's release back months and the near-impossibility of running a cross-platform beta test.

[sonarus]

Due to the difference in controllers between the 2 games i honestly hope ps3 gameplay won't end up strange due to ps3 getting the beta. But i can understand where they are coming from

[Dannagar]

You should have used the capcom blog link and not kotaku. Anyway, this is a good video from Gamespot.

[sonarus]

yea havnt submitted news in a while.

After telling me I'm no "real gamer" because I can't stand the Dualshock type controller for "SHOOTERS"...

I've owned every console and my preferences for certain games + genres/controller, just like yours, are just as valid.
Do a survey, you'll see I'm not alone.

Actually just like I hate Shooters with PS controllers, I hate fighters with 360's, like you do. If I can't enjoy the game or think a controller has "poor" spacing and placements for certain buttons, then I don't want to spend the money. Yes I'll try the DEMO of course.

On this Article, I'll try the BETA if I can get my hands on it, but will be getting this to connect my Dualshock. (It's all about the D-Pad)

[JsonHenry]

I don't believe a single one of the reasons listed. They just did not want to do it I would guess. (just a guess)

[Blademask]

I guess we know which version will be inherently superior, it will be the one that actually received feedback from the users. Sucks to lose Capcom as a supporter of the Playstation though. This + Lost Planet + mandatory Installs. It is as if they are doing this on purpose.

There really is no excuse that softens this blow. I know a ton of PS3 fans were all hyped about this one, laughing at XBL for not having enough space blah blah blah.

Looks like Microsoft just got the last laugh. I'll tell you one thing, MS knows what they are doing this gen man... seriously.

[sonarus]

you can't blame sony. There was a point where msoft and capcom got so close, there were rumors msoft was going to buy them. However i really don't care anymore. The only capcom game i am anticipating is way back in 2009. Was sort of anticipating this but it is something i can very well do without. If ps3 gets lame version i won't buy because i refuse to play fighters on 360 controller

[socomnick]

Sonarus you almost made me blow a nut. Man the though of Microsoft owning Capcom Jesus that would be an awesome first party developer.

[jackdoe]

Er, because Capcom wanted to cut corners to save money, it ends up being Sony's fault? I don't see the logic there. Jeez Blademask, most of your posts are just illogical.
-edit- To the dumbass disagree. Did you read the reasons why? SFIIHD is already behind schedule and overbudget. Making a simultaneous Beta would have cost Capcom and pushed development even further. How is that Sony's fault?

[sonarus]

lol socomnick. Msoft needs to beef up their first party capcom would be a good place to start but i am not sure msoft has the cash to persuade a long standing japanese games company to abandon its home turf. As we can all see msoft has no hope in JP

[jackdoe]

Jesus christ, MS fanboys must be having a fvcking field day with this. Read the post for fvcks sakes assholes and tell me why the fvck you think Sony is at fault for this. Invisible disagrees piss me off.

[Dannagar]

Although I've bought 5 games off of the PSN, I'm glad this deal is on XBox Live Arcade. I prefer to keep my downloads on Xbox due to Achievement points.

[The Closing]

I don't know if you know this, but it's Capcom developing the game not Sony. Doesn't matter anyhow the only series that Capcom has that's still worth a damn is the Resident Evil series albeit thats among the holy grail of gaming alongside mgs, and is coming to both systems so I could care less what the other teams do on their spare time if they're not a part of the RE development.

[NO_PUDding]

Microsoft clearly don't know what they are doing though. They aren't anywhere near as prepared as Sony is. Just a culmination of things during the past few weeks is just astounding me. They seriously do have long term plans. While Microsoft thinks short term to get ahead Sony is thinking way beyond.

And ultimately, I think Capcom may regret so eagerly supporting 360 due to it's easier development and at the moment (and only at the moment) more popular online service. Because it's only Sony it will have to answer to when it wants to make more games. And I can see that will happen mid 08' to early '09.

This is not a fanboy comment, this a comment on business tactics, and Microsoft has excelled at them, but unfortunately Sony isn't thinking tactics. The people at Sony are thinking Strategically, which does mean they get beaten on the tactics front, which is why we have all these media stories getting at the PS3, but the PlayStation 3 has only just reached a year old here in UK, and this year is set to be huge.

[Bloodwar]

Your comment "They seriously do have long term plans. While Microsoft thinks short term to get ahead Sony is thinking way beyond."

My response: And you say you are not a Sony fan boy. Please. If MS is not thinking ahead, then how come MS has their second Xbox system? How come Microsoft created Xbox Live on the initial Xbox and then made it even better on the Xbox 360? How come Xbox came out with brilliant idea known as a universal Gamertag? You know, one of those gamertags that no one else can have? I can log in once on Xbox Live and my gamertag is recognized on every game I use on the Xbox or the Xbox 360. On the PS 2, I have to re-register a new name/new account each time I want to get my game online. And talk about a craptacular online service. (Now supposedly this late in the game, the PS3 has a universal gamer identity though I can't verify it as of yet in person for I do not own a PS3) And everybody is talking about how big the Sony PS3 games are going to be. Oh yeah 40 players on Resistance and 60 players Resistance 2, when it comes out. On the 360, we already have Frontlines:Fuel of War which supports 50 players or is it 64 Players? I forgot which, but it doesn't end there. Just as PS3 fans are awaiting the arrival of their big 60 player first person shooter, Xbox 360 gamers area awaiting an even larger 120 player Massively Multiplayer First Person Shooter. A small game known as Huxley. How come MS came up with the idea of Achievements? And Sony is thinking about doing a "trophy room" for their Home? How come a majority of Sony players who talk about Live, say it is the better online system, though they are so sure that Sony's is going to be better. I'm glad I didn't have to wait. I have the bigger games already--Frontlines:Fuel of War and various Massively Multiplayer Roleplaying games are already on our system and we have Champions Online on the way which is by the same developer who created the City of Heroes game. Oh yeah, this game is coming out for the 360. Its going to be COH, but a different skin and a whole better system. Have you heard of the Hero system? Its a "small" (okay rather a very popular) table top roleplaying system that is an extension of the Champions Super Hero Roleplaying game. And now its coming out in MMORPG style on the 360. But the Sony fanboys like yourself, wish to kick the 360 in the mouth, but the 360 and its knowledgeable fan base like myself are fighting back with the facts and more ammunition than you know what to do with yourself. One thing that is nice about the little guy is that he has a big fvcking bite. The US was the sleeping giant that Japan never should have woken up and now MS and the Xbox 360 is that same giant. I say that my "Western" European brothers and sisters over there as well as those on my continent here in America start supporting the Western game system, not the Eastern one. Xbox 360 is where its at, baby! Not that Eastern game system. And oh yeah, did I mention that your people are already saying Xbox Live is the better online service? Just thought I would rub it in. I guess I should remind you of one more thing to really get your blood boiling. Microsoft paid 50 million dollars for EXCLUSIVE CONTENT for Grand Theft Auto IV! Yeah, and they are already saying that for that amount of money, we are talking about an entire city sized extension of the game which will belong only to the Xbox 360 version since MS paid for it. None of this "oh it will come out for the PS3 later" crap. Yes PS 3 may get DLC later on, but so will 360. But only 360 version will have the 50 million dollar EXCLUSIVE content. Enjoy your Playstation 3. I'm going to enjoy my exclusive gaming content. And who said the Xbox 360 gamers weren't going to get any good gaming in 2008 since Halo 3 is done. And the Halo universe continues on the 360. (HALO WARS) Thats for a whole other argument though. Buh-bye.

[kewlkat007]

are your friend.

[Genesis5]

Yeah really. You have to break that down into paragraphs. I'm going cross eyed trying to read it!

[Bloodwar]

Point taken. Next time I write a book on this website, I promise to use paragraphs. ROFL Sorry for the difficult read, everyone. =)

[DragonKnight]

RROD means they know what they are doing? Saying 1080p and HDMI and large harddrives aren't necessary then releasing SKU's with those features included means they know what they are doing? Saying Home is useless and then copying it with the Microsoft Coolroom means they know what they are doing? Saying Blu-Ray will fail but then considering making a Blu-Ray add-on for the 360 means they know what they are doing? P2P servers with incredible lag, Live not working for 2 weeks when new members join, and summary bannings of innocent gamers due to the fact that Microsoft is unable to distinguish between modded and unmodded consoles means they know what they are doing?

Yeah, Microsoft is really on the ball. /sarcasm

[DragonKnight]

"If MS is not thinking ahead, then how come MS has their second Xbox system?"

Why is Sony on their third and have a handheld while M$oft doesn't have a handheld?

"How come Microsoft created Xbox Live on the initial Xbox and then made it even better on the Xbox 360?"

Why did Sega create online gaming before Microsoft? Why did it take 5 years for Live to get as good as it is? Why did it take 2 years for Live to reach 1 million users, but it only took 5 months for PSN to reach 1.5 million users?

"How come Xbox came out with brilliant idea known as a universal Gamertag?"

Yeah, brilliant. How come some of my Xbot friends can't access their original Xbox online content?

"You know, one of those gamertags that no one else can have? I can log in once on Xbox Live and my gamertag is recognized on every game I use on the Xbox or the Xbox 360. On the PS 2, I have to re-register a new name/new account each time I want to get my game online."

Why are you talking about the PS2? Is it because the PS3 has a decent, free online system and you need to resort to attacking something inferior to even PSN to make the 360 look good?

"How come MS came up with the idea of Achievements?"

How come they didn't? "Achievements" have existed in games for the LONGEST time in a different form, all Microsoft did was make them more evident. Example, many RPG's require you to beat X amount of enemies to get the best weapon, and have for years. No one mentions that. But the second M$oft takes that online, it's somehow "new"? Please.

"And Sony is thinking about doing a "trophy room" for their Home?"

Speaking of Home, why did Microsoft copy it with the Microsoft Coolroom?

http://www.tech.co.uk/compu...

"Virtual 3D loft apartment that users can customize with music, videos etc..."

"How come a majority of Sony players who talk about Live, say it is the better online system, though they are so sure that Sony's is going to be better."

They don't. They say it's the better online system FOR NOW!!! Because they've seen that Sony is bringing In-Game XMB which brings all the features Live has. They've also seen that Sony is bringing "Achievements" and all that other stuff Live offers AND a 3D community with things like War rooms and user generated content etc... that Live DOESN'T offer.

"I have the bigger games already--Frontlines:Fuel of War and various Massively Multiplayer Roleplaying games are already on our system and we have Champions Online on the way which is by the same developer who created the City of Heroes game. Oh yeah, this game is coming out for the 360. Its going to be COH, but a different skin and a whole better system. Have you heard of the Hero system? Its a "small" (okay rather a very popular) table top roleplaying system that is an extension of the Champions Super Hero Roleplaying game. And now its coming out in MMORPG style on the 360."

And yet, no one seems to care in the 360 camp but you? You want to talk MMO's? The Agency, SE's MMO's, the possible GTA MMO, MGSO. You want to talk about tabletop games? Eye of Judgement. So....what?

"But the Sony fanboys like yourself, wish to kick the 360 in the mouth, but the 360 and its knowledgeable fan base like myself are fighting back with the facts and more ammunition than you know what to do with yourself."

Yeah, I've seen your "facts". Like the "fact" that MGS4 is coming to the 360? Or how about the "fact" that the reason the PS3 is beating the 360 in global sales for months now is because of 360 console "shortages"? Yeah, nice "facts".

"The US was the sleeping giant that Japan never should have woken up and now MS and the Xbox 360 is that same giant"

That's why the 360 is only successful in the U.S.?

"I say that my "Western" European brothers and sisters over there as well as those on my continent here in America start supporting the Western game system, not the Eastern one"

I say they should to. If they want to be drowned with the same generic shooters, 2139047123947219042739412 sports/racing games, and like having their consoles do an actual 360 where they buy the console, it breaks so they send it to Microsoft, they repair it and send it back.

"Xbox 360 is where its at, baby! Not that Eastern game system"

Bot.

"And oh yeah, did I mention that your people are already saying Xbox Live is the better online service? Just thought I would rub it in."

Failure.

"Microsoft paid 50 million dollars for EXCLUSIVE CONTENT for Grand Theft Auto IV! Yeah, and they are already saying that for that amount of money, we are talking about an entire city sized extension of the game which will belong only to the Xbox 360 version since MS paid for it."

Too bad that 30 of that 50 million was to ensure a simultaneous release and not put towards the "exclusive content" which you are also going to have to pay for and will not be as big as you think. Ever thought to ask why Rockstar hasn't corroborated Microsoft's "as big as a city" claims? It's because it won't be as big as a city.

"And who said the Xbox 360 gamers weren't going to get any good gaming in 2008 since Halo 3 is done. And the Halo universe continues on the 360. (HALO WARS) Thats for a whole other argument though. Buh-bye."

Like someone else on this site said about HaloWars, "I'd really like a good RTS on a console, too bad it's not going to happen."

It's pretty much agreed by most gamers and the media that Sony has the strongest game lineup this year. All your whining isn't going to change that.

ON TOPIC: I just have one thing to say about this. Street Fighter Anniversary Collection can be upscaled on the PS3, so who needs this?

[FirstknighT]

"ON TOPIC: I just have one thing to say about this. Street Fighter Anniversary Collection can be upscaled on the PS3, so who needs this?"

LMAO!!! Your clueless dude.

[Bloodwar]

4 times as many people disagree with you as that which agrees with you. Who is wrong in this argument of ours? You may have had some strong points. Thats why one person agreed with you as of 950 pm (EST) Sat March 15, 2008, however your argument didn't hold well with the majority of the community. I'm a Bot? Then you must be a TROLL. Anyways, nice debate. You lost.

[DragonKnight]

@FirstknighT: Correct me if I'm wrong, but "HD" is technically a resolution of 720p and higher correct? So Street Fighter 2 HD remix is basically Street Fighter upscaled to HD resolution. Now take the Street Fighter Anniversary Edition, which comes with all versions of the Street Figther 2 series retouched slightly for the PS2, and then put it on the PS3 with the PS2 Upscale option turned on. What do you have? Street Fighter 2 in HD. So, who's clueless again?

@Bloodwar: Bot math FTL/Logic FTL. Listen, first of all ANYONE can disagree with you for ANY reason. It could be a person who hates you and just disagrees with you out of spite, not because you made invalid points or what not, so using that as some way to proclaim your "victory" is moronic and shows your naivety. Second, 5 people disagreed with you, while 4 disagreed with me. So although from a ratio standpoint, more people disagreed with me, from a total standpoint more people disagreed with you.

And the fact that you believe this to be some kind of contest merely reinforces the fact that you are more of a Bot than previously believed. You really need to get up off your knees, dust yourself off, and leave Uncle Bill's room.

[GETPWNT]

WOW. YOU ACTUALLY SAID SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME WANT TO BEAT THE SH1T OUT OF YOU. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE FINALLY COME AROUND! NOW JUST GET THE REST OF YOUR DROID ARMY TO FOLLOW SUITE, AND ALL WILL BE WELL.

As for the unreadable wall o text without paragraphs. YOU PHALE!

Now excuse me while I play Condemned 2, the greatest game ever made, currently awaiting undelayment on PS3 with no AA and lower rez shaders.

[Lucas22]

Im starting to really not like capcom,

[GETPWNT]

Why? As a gamer (360 owner), I love them. I love them as each day passes. I can't fathom why you would hate them, unless of course you are a braindead droid. I can see that. Heck, you are on N4G. Chances are not in your favor...

[mr_potato]

God if Capcom didn't have SF RE and DMC i would curse them to hell.

Regardless i will buy this game as the nostalgia is too much im ready to pay alot of money for this.

[Marceles]

It's because no one would want to put a 5 GB manual install on their PS3 for a beta test."

Awww...low blow...

[General Pinky]

Guys don’t hate on Capcom, they just making games for the best consoles.
Look at this way Last Gen Sony was the top dog but now...SONY is off the radar...they are not helping the other companies to make it easy for them, and then companies look around and say “you don’t help then you don’t get game

[Marceles]

Yeah that would be big if MS owned Capcom, and Capcom is as Japanese as it gets. What's next? MS trying to own Namco Bandai?

[jackdoe]

That whole takeover dealy ocurred way back in the Xbox 1 days.

[socomnick]

Yea nambo bandai would be great and actually more believable they have gave the Xbox 360 lots of exclusives so far. Eternal sonata, ace combat etc.

[akaFullMetal]

wow, that sucks for ps3 owners, god i would of loved that beta, o well, and some one said the ps3 version is going to then suck, but if its being ironed out on the 360 wouldnt the final product also come to the ps3???? i dont get it, how does it suck any less???

[sonarus]

if you have played a fighting game on the ps3 and have played a fighting game on the 360 you will know ps3 controller is superior in this genre. I have tried using the 360 d pad but its hopeless i have to resort to the stick and call me old fashioned and traditional but i left sticks for the arcade. I want to fight with my standard d pad like i have been doing for yrs. Essentially any improvements in gameplay will be based upon how the game feels on the 360 controller. Making it feel better on 360 controller could make it worse on ps3.

[akaFullMetal]

i have tried to play street fighter 3rd strike on the xbox, couldnt do it, went and bought a ps2/xbox controller converter. Of course the playstation controller is better with this, but i use both arcade sticks and ps controller on street fighter, both are great, but the xbox'x controller i can't use, it doesnt seem to be very good with street fighter in my opinion.
I meant though when i said, why would the ps3 version suck compared to the 3 60 version, if the 360 is being ironed out, and would also be on the ps3, the controls i think will be great on the ps3, the 360 i dont know, good luck

[Glad to be a gamer]

I guess when you got guys like Sonarus and Aka metal hating again your doing something right. Hey guys what rpg's have you played lately? played any games of the year yet on your ps3?

Don't worry guys i'll send you a post card.

Has anyone else noticed if your not spreading ps3 love all the time then ps3 only owners just hit the ignore. Can't stand to see negative ps3 comments lmao. Poor sensitive Fanboys.

[Glad to be a gamer]

Needless to say i'll be tracking your comments Sonarus and adding my reply's to them buddy. As a long term member on here would say

JOY.

edit: Just checked Sonarus's ignore list and hes up to 33. That take some doing guess i should just ignore this guy as he never has anything worthwhile to say.

[Glad to be a gamer]

Sorry dude just checked your comments and your not one of these Sony fanatics i apoligise mate. Do have a point about the dpad but ive got used to it and can now play vf5 no problem with it.

[akaFullMetal]

dont worry about it "glad", as long as you know im not some crazy fanboy

[undacovabrothe]

Commando 3 a good game?

[jackdoe]

It looks pretty bad to me. Check out vids to see for yourself.

[Electronic Arts]

Honestly, Capcom has freaking lost it.

5 gb, 22 minute installs?

Better versions of games released cheaper on other systems

PS3 exclusives going multiplatform

Capcom hates PS3

N4Gs biggest xbots:

Jason 360
Power of pee
TheFAG at Xboxkings
GETPWNED

[power of Green]

What are talking about idiot.

[Sony sucks balls]

Capcom hates ps3 because Sony sucks what ? Oh yeah Sony sucks great big veiny, sweaty, hairy balls. In other words what EA does every night when his old man gets home from work.

[GETPWNZORED]

Face it, Capcom has neither the time nor effort to deal with sh1tty consoles with n00b fanbases who are more interested in watching movies than buying their games.

[DragonKnight]

Yeah right, you wish. That "n00b fanbase" you talk about is responsible for Crapcom's success. If it weren't for that "n00b fanbase" on the PS2, Crapcom would have folded only being known as the creators of the ever repetitive and stale Mega Man and Street Fighter franchises.

Plus, DMC4 on the PS3 has sold 1 million units already, what about the 360 version?

Crapcom just sucks. That's all there is to it.

[Mr Playboy]

I'm happy with my 360, which is the best in this generation

[kingOVsticks]

that is total bs i miss the old capcom that actually gave a sh1t about the Playstation

[crck]

First selling out DMC4 with the excuse of them developing a multiplat strategy going forward. Then selling out Monster Hunters 3 to Nintendo. How is that a multiplat strategy BTW? Then they say PS3 fans will be excited in a week after the uproar that the announcement of MH3 going to Wii caused. Which turns out to be nothing more then a sh!tty port of Lost Planet which they will sell for $10 more then a remake on the 360 that includes extra content. Not sure what Sony did to them or what MS did for them. But its obvious something is going on.

[Dannagar]

In the end, Playstation 3 owners will have the better version of this game due to the controller. The Xbox 360 digital pad suck for this kind of game.

[jackdoe]

Capcom certainly has alienated quite a few PS3 owners. I'm guessing overwhelming sales of MGS4 in contrast to sales of DMC4 will wake them up to their fvck ups. But TBH, the only Capcom games I'll ever buy are DMC and RE. And maybe SF. But that is it. Never understood the MH outrage. It was never big on the PS2 in the states and I have never been interested in the franchise.

[Blademask]

Thats all I was trying to say earlier. Whatever MS is doin, its workin so far.

[Empyrean_Eclipse]

why not beta on ps3 only then

[Tryst]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[kalistyles]

Do you really need a beta for this game. I mean who doesn't know SF2. If you need a beta to see how its gonna play then your really out of the loop. It will play better on the PS3 then the 360 because of the better D pad. The 360's is like a brick, you can't even move it.

[RecSpec]

The only reason I think they would use this is that they must be REALLY worried about the changes they made to the game. Doesn't matter to me, I'll be playing the classic version anyways.

[Ri0tSquad]

At least they backed it up. I can't wait for this game.

This game will be played on the PSN for awhile. Fighters go pretty hard on PSN. I actually just got back from playing MK2 and every time I do theres always someone on.

[poos3]

hshahaha thank god i have a 360 i dont have to worry about ppl being online on certain games as its liek the net there is always tons of ppl playing on xbox live tons gears of war im playing atm online and so many servers always on even tho the game is 2yrs +o;ld hha i love having 12 million ppl on xboxlive even 1s there was 1 million ppl on halo 3 hahaha amazing

[Ri0tSquad]

I popped in The Darkness for my 360 and there was no one online. I repeat...NO ONE.

Ha, now how bad must that be? Paying for online and finding out there no one online for that game you were looking forward to. I mean in my case I don't lose because of

1. Its free online
2. The game was only 5 bucks

Now go away.

[Spydr07]

Geez, a lot of crying over a beta. Capcom already knows the controls on the PS3 won't suck so it has nothing to worry about. Besides, PS3 has Tekken 5:DR, what does MS have, VF? Lol. Just play that. I can whup you in T5:DR in the meantime until SFIIHD comes out.

[zapass]

what a bunch of pathetic hasbeens, it's embarassing... don't they have 401ks?? these xcox suckas can kiss my ass.

[BrianC6234]

I guess the real story here is they know Xbots will be fooled into buying Commando 3. I guess that game must suck since the only way to get into this beta is buy that game. Why do that? Does Capcom even know how to make good games anymore? DMC4 ended up rather mediocre. I played a while but lost interest. I think I'll pass on Capcom games now. They have limited resources so they can't be bothered with PS3 gamers? Well, I have limited resources too. I guess I can't be bothered with buying their crap.

[zapass]

Seems like people are getting real creative with their retirement plans lately, it's an interesting industry trend...

"Buy my crappy game to join the beta"
"Buy my crappy console, it's got a 3year warranty"

the RROD swindle sent a big message worldwide:
"we can screw gamers, they'll love it and come back for more"
I'd be so embarrassed to own a 360 right now...

[Gam71]

"we can screw gamers, they'll love it and come back for more"

Sounds like sony.

or have you forgotten all the lies they told you, BC is important, no-one wants rumble, how many usb slots does it have now? etc

[sunnygrg]

Please dont blame Crapcom, tee-hee.

[Fighter]

Capcom has sold out. They are including the beta with a game that's going to suck so people will buy a $60 game just for the Beta.

First it was losing Monster Hunter 3 to the Wii where they can make more money and spend less effort making a game that will look like last gen when completed. Then it was the bad port of Lost Planet. Next it wil be Resident Evil being gimped so it can fit in a DVD9.

I will buy Super Street Fighter II HD when it comes out but I will not buy that 'Wolf on the Battlefied' game as a means of protest. I urge you all to join me because we PS3 owners will probably get a port of that game anyways and we all know how sh!t Capcom's ports are.

[Bloodwar]

You might learn something.

[Mercutio]

Crapcom,is not working for PS3 owners to get anything.

I say boycot them.

[gambare]

Capcom - "Because we luv M$ moneys $$$"

[ambientFLIER]

Also because they know it's going to suck no matter what, and have dull colors and framerate problems like every game on the POS3, so there's no point to even testing it.

[Bazookajoe_83]

A better version with framerate issues and a little worse grafic, thanks capcom (giving two thumbs up). If i didnt own a 360 also i would tear a hole in there ballsack...

[Strife Lives]

devil may cry 4? And it lookd great on the 360 and ps3.some of u nd to get ur head out ur asses and stop being so paranoid.

[Keowrath]

No, I believe the PC was the lead platform for DMC4

[caffman]

OH well

[General Pinky]

It is just the PS3 man

[Genesis5]

Streetfighter?? If this was 1985 I might actually care!

[kalistyles]

they had to tweak the 360 version so that runs on xbox live. So I can understand why they would need a beta. To see if it runs ok. They know the PS3 version will be fine so they don't need one.

[socomnick]

lol while im sure both versions will be fine I highly doubt your theory.

[bigjclassic]

to hardcore SF fans, were still getting it anyways. I hope they finish beta testing and give us the game already.

[bigjclassic]

casuals from the PS3 side dont get this, I dont need the hear them crying when I kick @ss! lol

[gnothe1]

I not sure if that OPEN PSN is as great as some people keep saying!! how many betas have been on XBL, I know there was a COD4,halo 3, an now a street fighter beta. how many multiplat games have had betas on the Ps3 vs the 360 an XBL!!

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

I used to love capcom esplcally for DMC and RE (No I wasn't into SF or any fighting game for that matter)

But latest capcom actions are making me hate them, espcially gimping DMC4 and make DMC4 a crap game with more the 50% recylced content. DMC4 lacks everything a DMC should have.

[Enigma_2099]

... but I don't..

[sumfood4u]

this game is fun yet old! why not create extras like yur own fighter an moves! I think they shoould create a game where u design yur fighter an moves an fight online!

[ssbains]

Capcom does not seem to have the $$ and balls to create new IP. They are currently down the track of milking existing classic IP they own.

Look at DMC4, RE5, Street Fighter

Other than Lost Planet, they have not ventured very far.

Capcom seems to be struggling financially as they have limited resources. Any smart gamer should read the reviews before parting with their hard earned dollars.

Whilst it is true by these actions that Capcom is not going to garner any loyal PS3 following ... Capcom has to choose its punches.

ps3 fangirls don't deserve it anyways.so im glad ill get to play before all ya girls

[Spike47]

"sony does'nt know what they're doing anymore"?

Then how do u explain sony beating the xbox360 in sales everywhere worldwide with almost no killer apps?

with street fighter 4 nobody has the last laugh, this game does'nt even increase sales for any of the consoles, the graphics are complete crap. As a Ps3 owner i'm not even gonna think about this game, there are too many other games that deserve my money more than SF.

The Ps3 controller is better anyway at fighting games because of the pad.

In the end, nobody is gonna have the last laugh, cause this game is'nt even important to sales of the PS3 or the xbox360.

[skynidas]

Im sure that ps store will get a demo

[SMK056]

capcum $hucking microsoft A$$ agan.
they need tretment for hyper-Xbox-fanboemia.

[power of Green]

They know PS3 is a DVD player first.

[gambare]

sorry, I have to say that :D

you only open your mouth as a good angry fanboy with no life. and got mad because capcom use the 360 as a test platform for the PC and PS3 games. oh wait.... maybe gears of wars 2 will be the beta for the true gears of wars 2 for PC

[Mr Playboy]

who give a fu(k about a console, sold as a bluray player

[Silver360]

They just don't want to pay for servers yet?

[Solid_Snake]

My opinion, and its just that, my opinion, is that beta's come out on 360 because of the stringent rules by MS. Capcom was having problems with getting the size in until MS lifted it, so maybe developers have tougher time with Live and they want to send a beta out so it won't come out screwed up.

[jackie chann]

Whats everyone crying abnout the pads for?

They're both garbage, get yourself an arcade stick so you can truly experience this game

[blade206]

capcom does this every gen with the ps1 they went with sega and later went with sony then the ps2 it was the dreamcast and then the gameqube with re 0,1,2,3,4 and later moved it over to the ps2 they will do the same thing with the ps3 mark my words

[MiniMii]

I mean LOL, are they seriously trying to bash the PS3 because we arent getting the BETA TESTING, which is basically 2 characters and one stage.

Cmon lol. Talk about desperate. I wouldnt even want the full SF2 HD remake, let alone care about the BETA.

SF2 is old days man. There was a time I played SF2. But that time has long gone. I only reserve my time for the latest next gen games and the occasional classic RPG.

[FirstknighT]

Wow look at all the frustration from the ps3 owners. WOW!!! Makes me glad I have a 360. :)

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

People, Please kindly give negative bubble to FirstKnight. He has duplicates account names "1stKnight" to keep his bubbles up. People like him should be banned.

Thank you.

[FirstknighT]

Yes I created a second account only to give everybody on my ignore list another chance. I have almost everybody on my ignore list. I think I went a lil carried away with it. But after going to my new account I quickly realized how the sony fanboys still act childish. So I'm back on this one.

Anyway, keep crying kid!!! And looks like I have a brand spanking new ignore on my list! :D

[Delive]

I thought you would be glad because of it's greater game selection or it's superior online service. Wow. You really bring an intelectual perspective to this site. Now How do you add someone to the ignore list? Ahhh, there it is. Please feel free to add me to both of your accounts, right next to CRIMS0N_W0LF, and any more you create when your bubbles run dry. :D

[HarryEtTubMan]

[SSCOOLCHEA]

i mean seriously

[ScottEFresh]

Didn't I play this game on Sega? Who cares about this game honestly?

[Delive]

I personally am losing interest in Resident Evil 5 day by day because of their current and past choices in the different treatment of the 2 next gen consoles. I own a 360 and all, but it's silver account won't allow me to battle any of you in SFII, so I would be doing this on the PS3. In actuality, I guess it's all fine. Sony is selling well even with second hand treatment from one of Japan's biggest developers.
* Exception to Bionic Commando Rearmed which will look better on PS3, though this is only due to MS' size restriction for XBL DL games. Unless MS helps them compress this or waives the size limit. Then it will most certainly be better on 360.

[Enigma_2099]

Most of us PS3 owners don't even CARE about this game. I'd rather play SF IV... if I'm gonna play the same game AGAIN, at least I'll do it in 3D...

... until KOF XII, that is...

[Delive]

OK. I'm good now ;)

I see your point about games that actually interest you. Once I saw the framerate of this remake, I was turned off. Too bad they own the rights to Marvel Vs Capcom 2. I would be all over that one. Then again, to me, fighting games don't do it for me like they used to. Maybe Soul Calibur will help me out.

[hadouken007]

screw capcom, money grubin snake in the grass, all bout money now.

[feejo]

It is a way or another to create a demand. lol.

[longduckdong]

hates Sony

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Capcom always hated sony
