Here is my question, 7 5 0: Were you playing the xbox or ps2 version?
If the sound sucks… I will still probably get this collection. It is a total bummer that they can’t get everything right for this ten year old game, but as long as it plays perfectly I’ll settle. But Sirlin said he specifically remastered the Q sound and everything himself… it doesn’t make any sense that there would be sound problems. I would hope Sirlin drops a line here and gives us the real deal on the authenticity of this collection as opposed to his benefactor’s advertising ploys.
It is like switching from DC to GC Ikaruga all over again…
Shrug I dunno about anyone else but sound and music do matter to me, I dont want to play a game with shitty music and sound effects… Granted I havnt played but if people are saying the sound is off thats pretty retarded(not a big deal but still cant really say something is perfect if you have to listen to crap)… And the music comment was just for the saying that serious people dont care about music. If serious people didnt care about music, you wouldnt see so many people having burned versions of MVC2 so they dont have to listen to the gawd damn awfull music when they play the game every time.
start button will only give you the pause menu at certain moments
for example at character select screen the start button will not pause it will pick the staret color, that is all i meant when i said that (in response to someone who wondered whether the start button would effect being able to pick start colors/akuma)
Yeah…this game was designed for people that wanted no delay in the inputs and hit boxes that were 100 percent correct. Basically this was made for the people that played SF competitively way back in the day and remember there was a certain way attacks connected in ST. No home version of ST has been able to 100 percent duplicate how the hit boxes work in the arcade version. Certain versions even have delay in the button inputs.
This game was made to be gameplay wise 100 percent to the arcade. Which NO other version of the game can claim. If you went to Evo 2k6 you would know what this is about. If you know who David Sirlin is you would know what this is about. If you say no to both…then yeah go get the DC version of the game cuz this was made for competitive gamers. Not people who wanna hear the sound in it’s crystal clear CPS2 glory (sarcasm). It’s not like you can hear the sound at the arcade any ways. Way too many other things going on.
i guess thats kinda true
i havent been to an arcade in so long
I hope this version does hold up and prove to be arcade perfect gameplay-wise so Sirlin can get his props
The Start button can be used to pick colors (such as my favorite blue-clothed Zangief) and Akuma. Everything surrounding Akuma should work, and we spent way too much time on that in fact.
The only sound complaint I’ve heard is from 750. I assume he’s playing on a mono tv? Mono is not supported. If he heard those issues using stereo sound, then that’s news to me.
I don’t know why there would be any screen-tearing. If your tv doesn’t support progressive scan, don’t turn that on. If it does support it, do turn it on. Turning on progressive scan also means that your LCD or plasma tv doesn’t need to upscale (signal is already 480p). That upscaling can cause input lag on certain tvs so you definitely want progressive scan ON for that type of tv.
His complaints do in fact sound like the sort of problems you have when trying to play a stereo game on a mono TV. Not supporting mono at all is kinda weak though.
yeah my TV is mono
i hoped that was the problem
because CVS2 gives me little audio problems too; but i was doubtful because with CVS2 it is dependant on which side the chars are onwhether or not you will hear them, in this ST, it is not.
good news for stereo havers
screen-tear:
i dont have progressive scan (ive got a litttle TV/VCR combo)
i got a couple screen tears
very seldom, very quick
no big deal to me personally
I don’t see how that’s weak at all. I haven’t had a TV in my parents place or my own place that hasn’t supported stereo in ten years? Maybe longer? From the designers side, you have to figure that it’s not really worth the while of giving mono support when the majority of your customer base doesn’t have old enough hardware to need it.
Even though “mono isn’t supported,” you should still be able to hear tiger uppercut just fine if you only have one audio cable plugged in.
You could also buy a Y connector for like $1. It’s kind of surprising to hear anyone is using a mono-tv, and doubly surprising that someone with a mono-tv wouldn’t have picked up Y connector about 10 years ago, lol.
so whats best is im guessing a matter preference?? Xbox vs ps2. I’m guessing the latter would be better but then again wouldn’t the audio in the xbox version be better?? I mean, I have noticed that 3rd looks better on Xbox rather than the ps2 however, a lot claim that the ps2 version is better. really can’t comment on that as I have both versions and seem to notice the picture/text graphic deal. thats about it. what’s ur guys input on the xbox vs ps2 of this game if any?? post up
Well, i scored the game today and it sounds fine to me. (PS2) If only one audio connection is in (in most mono cases, the white plug which is the left audio channel) then you would have the situation that 750 is decribing.
IIRC, the stereo Q-sound uses is like a pseudo 3D sound. Like if Ryu is on the left side and he throws a hadoken, it comes out the left channel. If the sound is plugged in through mono, then if Ryu is on the right side with the left channel audio plugged in then you will barely hear the hadoken audio cue.
EDIT - GOOD SHIT SIRLIN. Took me awhile to track down the game in my area cause people were killing for it and its sold out in alot of nearby stores. Its definately worth the $20.
As for the screen flickering thing, the original ST has a bug where stages will get scrambled for a split second, then return back to normal. It’s something that just randomly happens. Maybe this is what you saw?
Just to let you guys know BEST BUY has CCC2 for PS2. Check online at their site to see which places has them available for pick up.
I went at 3PM to the 6th Ave and 23rd St Best Buy, and had to go to the cashier, who then had to go to the back to get it from shipment. I was the 1st person to ask for it all day there. They have copies at the cashier so just ask for it.
Do the same for any location that the website says has it. Hopefully the staff will be cool and bring it out from the back for you.
Best Buy in Manhattan closes at 10pm i think, so you still have a chance at picking it up. I have classes until 9pm and then have to head home out to Long Island before I can test it out, and thought I’d let you guys know that it is AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW!!!
Crap, could’nt find the game ANYWHERE today. Check the local game store speciality shops (EB games was telling me that unless I pre-ordered it, then there was no way to get the game in by the first day), and then other places like Best Buy, FYE, TRU, etc. etc.
