EB games screwed me out of a copy, they got only 1 per fucking store! jesus what a bunch of lame asses. All the stores in the area are sold out too and they don’t know if they can order more. Jeez.
I called Gamestop today and they didn’t have it. They said to check back tomorrow.
Yeah, the 14th is the shipping date, so only stores close to suppliers will have the game. Mostly Cali. Check back tomorrow.
So what’s this I hear about tutorial videos in the game? Are there any for ST? If so, are these basic scrub tutorials or more advanced stuff?
It does say it has the “save anytime” feature like the emulators have, so there is hope that ST might be arcade perfect.
I still going to play Black Tiger a lot though:tup:
I’ll definintely be picking this up today : ) I didn’t realize it just came out!!
Can’t wait to see Sirlin’s work on this beauty :tup:
Not to mention it doesn’t pay well.
People easily forget that making games independently isn’t a lucrative business unless you randomly hit the jackpot with a knockout title that everyone loves.
Seriously. I know a few people with the skills and knowledge to independently build a 3D engine from scratch. For them it’s not hard. My brother, for example, is no doubt capable of coding an entire game himself. But worth it? Hell no.
Then there’s the artists. Not only is it hard to find good cheap artists willing to jump on board an independant project, it’s also hard to make money with it regardless of how much effort you put in to it, which turns a lot of artists off.
Then add the fact that artists are hard to come by and you get a lot of programmers who aren’t willing to put forth the effort if no one else is out there to help finish the project.
Any way you look at it, it’s a bad idea unless you just happen to have a really freaking amazing idea and also happen to have both artists and programmers with talent and time to kill.
Like you were saying, slapping together a couple of models doesn’t cut it. The models need animations, the models need skins, the models need maps and the maps need skins, the game needs sounds and music, the game needs menus and shell art and effects. Then there needs to be a good designer to make sure everything meshes together well with a good theme. And that’s just the asthetics. Coding is a whole 'nother mountain to climb. Very few people are able to come together and are willing to put their time and money on the line for a gamble.
So anyone find this game yet? None of the EB or GS have it here yet.
Nope, stores near me still don’t have it.
I’ve looked through like 5 or 6 stores tonight driving around New Orleans, and none of them have it. 
They all kept saying “check back on Thursday.”
got it at an FYE as they were unpacking shit
ST = garbage
I’m playing this collection right now and ST is garbage. capcom are a bunch of dumb idiots.
The game is seriously flawed in the audio. See for yourself. Crapcom has lost my respect for them. It’s very uncalled for when it’s supposedly “Arcade perfect”.
Someone email capcom and remind them what intolerance they have done many times over the years with their rehash.
what’s about NKI’s video? someone checked it?
PRE-ORDER.
Games like SFAA weren’t shipped in large quantities. They were by pre-order only. Meaning, if you didn’t pre-order, you weren’t getting a copy. I assume the same applies to CCC2.
Um, how’s the GAMEPLAY? If that’s not perfect, then I’ll be upset, but I have trouble believing Sirlin would fuck that up.
Just go check Toys R Us. That’s where I got my copy of SFAA and they had large quantities. Of course, those were the only copies they were getting. But large nonetheless for that weekend.
I’ll check TRU manana for my copy of CCC2.
Wow I didn’t even think of that. I’ll hit up TRU tomarrow before work, too.
The gameplay in ST is identical along with the graphics. However, the sound is a major letdown. I was just using old Sagat and I can barely hear his tiger uppercut. It’s not consistent in the character’s voice. The same with the shoryuken sound.
Also, the character select screen sound is flawed too when you choose the fighter.
I would much rather play the Dreamcast version I have than this nonsense.
So wait…you’d rather listen to the game then play the game? Something is definately wrong with that.
At any rate, good thing I always listen to some metal while I play fighting games.
Then, what’s the point of playing a video game if you’re going to listen to music without the sound effects?
