Capcom working on HD Remix beta patch

Experience will be "vastly improved".

Capcom is working on a patch for the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix beta on Xbox Live.

The patch will introduce "several fixes for the open beta", the company said on its blog, and more details will be released shortly.

All we know for now is that "the overall experience in the beta will be vastly improved".

The SSF2T HD Remix beta is available to Xbox 360 owners who buy Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 and allows you to fight online bouts as either Ryu or Ken.

The full game includes beautiful 1080p graphics and new combos, and is an obvious labour of love for the Japanese publisher.

Capcom is also drawing on the online community's love for all things Street Fighter, recruiting the online musicians at OCRemix to handle the soundtrack.

According to an interview at Ars Technica, Capcom approached OCRemix after listening to a Super Street Fighter II Turbo tribute song.

    So they cracked then!

  • Pirotic #2 4 years ago

    Considering they effectively charge 800ms points for a beta of a demo, making sure it at least works to a reasonable extent is only fair.

  • Brodie #3 4 years ago

    Except they don't - they charge 800 points for a full game with FREE access to the beta.

    If you buy it simply for the beta that's your choice, but they are not charging for the beta demo alone.

  • Darren #4 4 years ago

    No, they charged 800 points for Commando 3; the SSF2T HD beta came FREE with that game! If anyone bought Commando 3 just to play a beta demo and had no interest in playing the main game then they are S.T.U.P.I.D.! ;)

  • Der_tolle_Emil #5 4 years ago

    Didn't know the beta was limited to just Ryu or Ken, or did I get that wrong just now?

  • convercide #6 4 years ago

    Yeah it's just limited to Ryu or Ken.

    /OBJECTION!

    In defense of Pirotic's comment...

    So the intention to tie an extremely desirable free game demo with a piece of crummy shovel ware that you pay for is an accident?

    I'm pretty sure we all know this sales technique so Pirotic has a point. Most people are interested in SF2HD not Commando 3. If you want to play the SF2HD beta ...you have no choice but to purchase Commando 3. If it’s free access, then where can I access it for free?

    Pirotic also used the word 'effectively' which, to me, means he or she is well aware of this

    If someone really thought "wow they are being really nice and giving me a free demo" then I would argue that's stupid.

    ...and no I didn't buy it, but I'm such a street fighter nut I nearly did.
