It’s been a while since the last update, I know. But I think the wait was worth it, because I’ve got a couple of great-looking pieces of art from the game – the beautiful but deadly Cammy, and mighty Bison. I’ve posted them as transparent gifs in case you want to paste them in and make some new mock-ups of in-game screens.

In Rey’s update, he also talks about the netcode they’re working on for the game, which I know is something a lot of you are anxious about.

Hey, everyone. I know this update is coming pretty late at night. I’m in Toronto and it took all day to fly here from California. The reason I’m in Toronto is so that I can show off the Xbox 360 version of DMC4 at Microsoft’s X07 event tomorrow (Tuesday).

Anyway, Rey sent me a blog post update with a revised Vegas background today, so I wanted to get it posted as soon as possible and I won’t be back in the office until Thursday.

First of all, I would like to apologize to the artist that drew the background. As I mentioned before, this wasn’t an actual screenshot of the game. Actually I had taken the layers of the background and arranged them around to show as much of the new elements of the background as I could. The issue with the perspective and size of the SUV limo was due to my own error – I had put the layer with the SUV a little too high. This slight error made the people in the front look too small. Below is a more accurate representation of how it’s supposed to look. Of course, as with all the other artwork posted here, it may not look 100% like this in the final game.

Here’s the latest word from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix producer Rey Jimenez.

How are all you Street Fighter heads doing today? Last week I mentioned that I was having a hard time keeping up with all of the questions spread all over the place and to please restate your questions in the last blog entry. Thanks for that. It makes looking for the questions that much easier. I even noticed that the guys at the Capcom BBS and SRK have created new threads and forum areas to help organize everything in one place. Not that any of that was done on my behalf, but it just makes hunting down questions that much easier.

Before I get on to answering some questions from you guys, I wanted to show you a much requested background. I’m sure you can tell, but this is Balrog’s stage.

I’ve got the latest update from Rey, producer of SSF2T HD Remix. I’m very thankful, because I know it took a looong time to write all this up, and he’s extremely busy trying to actually make this game. There’s also a tiny bit of new artwork for you.

I have another set of desktop wallpapers for you again, this time featuring Chun-Li and Sakura in front of Ken’s new background from Puzzle Fighter. Like last time, I did a 16:10 hi-res version at 1920×1200, and a squarer version at 1280×1024. Let me know what you think.

Long time, no see. I know it’s been a while since my last blog update. I took the week of the 4th of July off for vacation, and all last week I was in Santa Monica for E3. Well, I’m back now, and I have something very special to share with you.

How’s it going? I know, it feels like it’s been forever since the last update. I’ve been working on wrapping up my own pet project, namely 3 Themes and a gamer pic pack for Xbox Live featuring all the characters of Puzzle Fighter (basically Street Fighter and Darkstalkers). I just sent those off to someone else to handle the submission to MS. They should be available later this month. I’ll post a little preview of what they’ll look like pretty soon, but I think you’ll be very pleased with how they turned out. I know I am. I don’t want to spoil it, but let’s just say that everybody who voted for their favorite characters to appear in the gamer pic pack will get what they want…

Well, Rey, the producer on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, was able to get me another update this afternoon. I’m just now getting around to posting it because I’ve been working on everything above plus a whole lot more today. So, let’s get right to it.

I have lots of feedback from Rey, plus some brand new Street Fighter art for you to drool over.

A lot of you have been asking for some new Chun Li stuff. While I don’t have color animation frames from the actual gameplay for you, I do have something almost as cool. And for your reading pleasure, SF HD Remix producer Rey Jimenez has given me yet another message to share with you, where he talks about how the game is coming along, and addresses feedback about Guile’s new look and other questions and comments that have come up in the comments here on the Digital blog and on some of the various forums. If you haven’t read his other posts, hit “Digital” at the top of the page and see what other stuff I have been posting for SF and the other download titles.

Here’s the deal. I’m working on putting together some Dashboard themes and a gamer picture pack for the Xbox 360 to go along with the launch of Puzzle Fighter (which is coming very soon). I have one theme complete and I’m working on the other.

But for the gamer pic pack, I’m not sure who to include. The themes are like wallpapers, but when you use a gamer pic in your profile, it actually represent you. It says something about you, or shows what games you like. Everyone would probably like Ken or Ryu, but there’s room for more and I want to leave it up to you who makes the cut.

There are basically 11 characters in the game, and I can put up to 5 images in a single pack. But I thought, why not ask you guys what I should do? You tell me which characters you want in the pack, and I’ll include them.

Here are the characters:
Akuma
Chun Li
Dan
Devilot
Donovan
Felicia
HsienKo
Ken
Morrigan
Ryu
Sakura

BTW, if you don’t know what gamer pics are, they are the icon that goes in your gamercard, your profile. Here’s my gamercard. As you can see, I’m sporting the guy from Mass Effect as my icon right now:

So, who are your favorite Puzzle Fighter characters from that list? Who do you want to put in your gamer profile to represent you?

Just vote in the comments below. I’ll be monitoring the comments, and Friday afternoon (6/22) I’ll tally it up.

—Brian

EDIT:
I’ve looked at the votes, and I know what I want to do with the gamer pics, so now it’s a matter of clearing it with a few departments internally. Once I get a firm answer, I’ll announce what I’m doing with the gamer pics. I also have 2 Dashboard themes done and I’m working on a third. They’re pretty sweet, and I’ll give a preview of them here on the blog before they hit Marketplace.
