Looking to get your mitts on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix early? Buy Commando 3! Capcom is giving Xbox Live Gold members an opportunity to help "stress test" a beta version of the 1080p remake of SSFIITHDR if they virtually drop the 800 Microsoft Points on its other offering. That's the good news. The bad news is that you'll be limited solely to Ken and Ryu and a single stage and that PlayStation 3 owners don't seem to be getting a similar deal.
Whatever! As a Commando and Mercs fan, I was already planning on picking up Commando 3 (aka Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3). Getting the HD treatment on Super Street Fighter II Turbo will be a nice little bonus.

SSF2 HD looks freaking sweet. I'm usually not a sucker for these "incentive" type deals but I might actually do it this time.
not too familiar with commando 3, but i want to try out the sf2hd... hmm, sure i'll throw 10 bux at it. who knows, i might enjoy commando 3
Aww, was hoping to see this for PS3 too... Check out the player on the right named "CapcomHomo002" LOL
Is this going to be the new thing for all major games? If you want an early peak or want to beta test you need to buy game x. I can't complain about Halo 3 so much seeing as Crackdown was really fun. I am not sure if I am planning on picking up commando seeing as how I am Chun-Li kind of guy.
That's good. I was going to buy Commando 3 anyway.
Damn. I didnt even bother looking at Commando 3 until this post and it looks decent anyway so it may be a win win. Damn you Capcom! ...I think...?!? :/
@davikken: Dude... It says "CapcomHome002"... ^^;;
I will pray that it is not laggy over Live like the previous version.
no PS3...WTF capcom!!!
Well, seeing as I don't have a 360, I'll just pretend I never read this.
No deal for PS3 owners? Yeah, fuck you too Capcom.
Things like this have sold me Zone of the Enders, Crackdown and FF6 in the past. I reckon I'll go for it.
I don't have a 360 either, so I'll ignore this article whatsoever.
"Wii" need this!
yessssssssssssssss
@PS3 owners: Insert Nelson's "ha-haa" here.
That's awesome, i didn't realize inside the fireball was a "shadowed" image copy of Ryu's hands! Thank you High Def graphics, THANK YOU!
Wait? This isnt out yet? Well who the fuck cares I have the SNES one on my Wii. I dont need a Graphical Update. Just give me SF4 for my PS3.
Might as well go to everybody else and slap them no Capcom. Seems like the 360 has been getting a lot of love from Capcom lately. :/
Yeah, that's kinda crapperific.
I'd buy Commando 3, but knowing that the 360 guys get something extra... kinda makes me want to hold off on getting Commando 3, honestly.
I'm a big fan of Mercs on my Genesis. I wasn't even aware of this game 'til this tie-in promotion. Now it's a must buy. Good marketing!
Oh, and they better allow people to build houses!
Awesome! I've been waiting so hard for news like this
Wait, the real question is : Have the hadokens always had "hand shadows" in them? I've never noticed them till now and I've played every SF extensively...
@opt2not: I didn't either, but honestly... now it's TOO obvious. Doesn't even look that fireball-ish anymore.
It looks like the original had kind of a burst over the hands anyway, so as to not make it so blatant.
@thedanielrecord: They have, at least, in the SF2 games! Pretty crazy, huh? It took me until well into the late 90s to notice, and it blew my damn mind then.
@rentahero1: Honestly, I never thought once about Commando 3 til this news came around, and though I think I'd enjoy it... yeah, I'm not too crazy about paying the same for less on the system I fully intend to buy SSF2T HD on. The one with the functional d-pad.
lol....some of u guys take this console war to serious...if u have a 360 why not do the beta test...how retarded do some of u sound...i have all systems and i really didnt plan on copping it for 360 either...but im not gonna let some ol corny deceptive 360 hate stop me
Wow. The game certainly looks nice. lighting effects and character sprites seem vibrant. I'm more intrigued by the gameplay tweaks they made to SF2HD though.
To everyone complaining about Capcom snubbing Sony, maybe they have a similar deal lined up. This scoop from Gamespot doesn't seem like the official press release (I could be wrong). Seeing as the 360 has been the primary platform they (Capcom) develops for, maybe they're ironing the kinks out of the 360 one first?!
@Wellhereweare: It's not actually just a graphical update, the mechanics have also been overhauled and re-balanced. Maybe if you could see through your rage you'd have noticed such things
@NecronomiconUK: Never mind that neither the original SF2 and SF2T for SNES are SSF2T. :) If Wellhereweare is happy with those, or even SNES SSF2, he's definitely not the target audience here.
@thedanielrecord:
Yes. I too was floored when I saw it back then (I discovered it from an old issue of GamePro I think). Can't believe I read some issues of that crap.
Oh and if you look closely, you'll also see that some of the animations are reused. ie: Guile's crouching strong kick is the same with his forward fierce kick just upside down (well it is obvious).
Makes me miss pulling of Guile's freeze,blackout and magic throw...
@excaliburps: "Seeing as the 360 has been the primary platform they (Capcom) develops for..." i don't think that's entirely right. Yea 360 got lost planet and dead rising first, but that's because PS3 wasn't out yet. DMC4 was programmed on a PC and then ported to the respective systems.
Capcom has just been iffy lately...i know...don't flame. I'm still a bit pissy about Monster Hunter 3
@excaliburps: The fact that they're doing 360 first is somehow supposed to make us PS3 owners feel better?
I've been waiting for Commando 3 for some time... and you're right, it might be a similar deal on PS3. But based on the current info (360-only), I think we're justified to feel a little snubbed by Capcom on this one.
Craptastic ports of Lost Planet don't help the situation either. :P
I just got the incentive needed to go out and buy Commando 3! thanks Capcom!
@rentahero1:
*cue wild-eyed stare*
George Bush........doesn't care........about PS3 people...
It's ok. I still love you on the basis of your name alone.
But yeah, I guess the Crackdown technique is catching on.
@rentahero1: O god, don't remind me of that. i played the port of lost planet and it was glitchey with the odd framerate. I've played the 360 version briefly before that and there's a difference. I remember Capcom saying this was our surprise a while back. Well SURPRISE, should've delayed it and fix it up better. But hopefully this also come to the PSN. I mean, they have no restrictions with the space. I bet they will have an annoucement regarding both versions. ^_^
Hm... yet more proof to my point that people will buy demos/betas and the boobie prize is a full length game.
It it me or is SF2HD a tad too clean.
Typo in the title. It's Commando by Capcom, not Commandos from Eidos. Two different games.
I keep forgeting this exists.. *looks at SF4* oh yeah, that's why.
@dadeisvenm: i just want to see gameplay. I loved SSFII and played it diligently for a while. Now i got to srounge up some money to get a bluetooh Arcade pro stick
@darvos: Right! Good eye.
@opt2not: Consider me a hardcore fan, I discovered that ages ago when I was 14 - Over 10 years ago!
Yawwwn, give me SF4 already, this game is well overdue - can't believe it's not even finished yet.
For people wonder what is taking this game so long:
[blog.capcom.com]
It will be well worth the wait.
Also "There are no plans for the SSF2T HD Remix Beta to come to PSN at this time." -Seth Killian
so buying this [www.gametrailers.com] is acceptable but GT5 Prologue is a jip?
explain the rationale to me folks.
Yeah, I kinda wanted Commando 3 anyway, nice Bonus!
Still not totally sold on SF4. Not saying I won't like it, but I have to play it myself first.
@dadeisvenm: Who said GT Prologue was a jip? I agree thats foolish, whoever said that on whichever post.
I boil everything in life down to a Haiku:
Capcom screws Sony
Makes it 360 only
That's why I bought both
Thanks but no thanks.
It's cool. I've got no problem with other people spending $10 on a game they don't really want, in order to stress test the low-res version of the HD game i'll eventually buy on my PS3.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for paying to beta test!
Even if we get the beta with Ryu and Ken, I'm under the impression we still have to buy Commando 3?
No thanks, I'll wait for the real deal.........
OH GOD IT'S STREET FIGHTER!!!! MUST BUY COMMANDO!!!!
Shut up!!! $10 bucks isn't worth a beta!!!
(AuraWind continues his inner struggle...)
@AuraWind: Err.. I meant "still have to buy SSF2HDR"...
