Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will arrive this year, says Capcom producer

PS3 fans haven't heard any news in regards to Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix in a long, long time. Xbox 360 owners had a chance to participate in the beta, but it was plagued with problems that were never fixed, if that makes you feel any better. The lack of news has lead some to conclude the game has been delayed; but fear not, in an interview with The Street Fighter Blog, associate producer Rey Jimenez reveals the game is on track for a 2008 release. "We're on track to release the game this year and barring any unforeseen catastrophic event, that should not be changing." He also told SF fans to expect an announcement of the exact release date shortly.

Other elements covered in the interview range from the possibility extra characters via DLC (not happening) to whether the fighters will have their original colors selectable (yes, they will be). The entire interview can be read here.

I wish SF IV was coming out this year instead :(

They better have this shit ready in 5 days. In one of their videos they promised "SUMMER of 08". Well, my friends summer ends in 5 days, and now their acting like they never said that. Seriously how long does it take to re-animate a 2d fighter and re-write some programming lines? They've got 5 days... till they get firebombed.

"Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will arrive this year, says Capcom producer"

Translation: We are totally fucked right now, it will take nothing short of a miracle to deliver this product by end of '08.

That said...deadlines aren't easy things to meet necessarily when it comes to software or engineering, so I'm not at all surprised. There are problems of the highest technical level at times that very few people know how to deal with at times, and making hard dates doesn't make any sense in these circumstances (or at least the dates should be built-in with a large margin of error).

well .. SF 2 is a good game but i just don't see me getting it when it's out unless it has trophies ... then i won't really bother. before anyone says that's stupid to buy a game for that reason... well maybe but i can just play my copy on SNES if i want too .. so trophies will add a whole new game play for me .. cause without that i'l just go back to the SNES version

i was excited for this game. i've almost forgotten it completely. how long does it take to re-draw a 17 year old game?

This is what happens when you hire comic book artist from Udon to remake Street Fighter. Sure Udon makes the Street Fighter comic books, which are awesome. But if Capcom USA was smart they would have went to another place to get the job done faster. Because they really don't know what they're doing with the characters color pallet [which was lowered], hit boxes, ect.

Hmm...maybe Capcom should just get Arc System Works to develop this next time. They did wonders for KOF12.

Was excited about this game, now not so much. Still gonna get it when it drops but still, bring on SF4.

I wonder what they're all looking at in that picture. There must be something pretty interesting going on to their right....Guess Bison is just to hard to be bothered looking.

well, the problems in the beta WERE fixed. but, it took way too long and there's barely anyone that plays it anymore. i hopped on the beta last night though, still some people around but, you'll play the same person like 1 out of every 3 matches. also, i gave up all hope on their website. i tried to register on it to report bugs and suggestions from my experience with the beta but it just doesn't ilke me. oh well.
