I’m pretty excited about today’s SFHD update. Rey has given me some early work-in-progress screenshots of the game. By “work-in-progress,” I mean these screenshots do NOT reflect how the final game will look exactly, but they should give you a pretty good idea. So please keep that in mind when you are viewing them. In his written update, Rey talks about the look of the characters, UI, and also clarifies the issue of which version of the game SFHD is being based on.

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.

You may remember a while back we asked for your suggestions for Achievements (Xbox 360) for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

We went through the massive list of suggestions, all (well, most) of which were great, picked our favorites, and sent them to the technical guys on the dev team to figure out which ones were actually “trackable.”

We got the feedback from the dev team, and now we have the poll up on our forums.

GO HERE TO VOTE

Voting will be closed October 1st, so everyone has 2 weeks plus a weekend to vote.

Once we have a winner, the person (or people if multiple people had the same suggestion) who suggested the Achievement will have his/her alias appear in the credits of the game.

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.

You may have seen some of our Comic-Con and EVO coverage over on Capcom-Unity already. But here are a few pictures of the Toyota Yaris at the EVO West finals at Comic-Con a few weeks ago. Toyota is a sponsor of the EVO 2007 Championship Series, and we lent our Puzzle Fighter characters to be put on one of the cars itself. The Yaris features Dan on the front, Akuma on the back, Ryu and Chun-Li on one side, and Ken and Sakura on the other side. These photos were taken by James “Chensor” Chen (thanks!). He took a lot of pictures of the car and the EVO championships. Below are just a few shots of the car from his gallery.

I closed Friday’s post with “Check back here on Monday morning to make your voice heard. wink wink,” and I’ve been watching people speculate in the comments all weekend.

Yes, “make your voice heard” was supposed to be a hint. I don’t know how some people went from “make your voice heard” to “OMFG they’re announcing SF4FTWOMGBBQ!”… Wishful thinking, I guess. I can’t blame them. Anyway, moving on…
