SSFII Turbo HD Remix for PS3 on Thurs

By Robert Purchese Published 18 February, 2009

Finally!

Capcom will finally release Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the PlayStation Network tomorrow.

And you'll need to fork out the stiff asking price of GBP 11.99 or EUR 14.99 to play.

SSF2THDR was worth the money last November, when the game launched on Xbox Live Arcade, but largely because eager fighting fans wanted something to fill the void while Street Fighter IV geared up for launch. With Street Fighter IV arriving on consoles around the world this week, we wonder why anyone would settle for second best.

Head over to our Street Fighter IV review, or our Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix review, to find out more.

    FINALLY!!! Indeed!

    Bit late, mind, I mean I'll have the PS3 version of SF IV by then. Ah well, at least it does have a release date at long bloody last.

  • Darren #2 3 years ago

    The 360 version was 1,200 MP right which is £10.20 (I think) so why the price hike for the PS3? And what's the reason for the three month delay in the first place?

  • Joppers #3 3 years ago

    Pointless ... I'll be playing SFIV thanks.

  • Loser #4 3 years ago

    SF IV is only £15 more FFS... Why bother?

  • bad09 #5 3 years ago

    "SF IV is only £15 more FFS... Why bother? "

    Because it's an awesome version of SSF2T?

    I know I've had it since November on 360 but it will be played as well as 4, it is SSF2T with online play after all.

  • Starkillah_79 #6 3 years ago

  • serpantdarius #8 3 years ago

    Well if SCEE weren't so damn incompetent, or if they aren't, appear as such then PS3 owners would have lapped this game up as Xbox 360 owners did last November.

    But as usual, for whatever reason, European PS3 owners typically have to wait months for certain major PSN release even though the 360 and US PS3 owners get them around the same time. Why? It can't be the usual excuse of being delayed for European translations since European Xbox 360 owners got their version in November, right?

  • Blakester #10 3 years ago

    Worst.Timing.Ever.

  • Widge #11 3 years ago

    Thing is, give it a month and somewhere like Shopto will do SF4 for something mental like £20... if you're not dying for the game, thats the best option.

  • DFawkes #13 3 years ago

    If they'd done that RedPanda, anyone outside the original 8 SHII characters would be paid for DLC at £5 per character.

    They don't care though, clearly. If they did, they'd have tried to speed this through.

  • Kyle #14 3 years ago

    Finally...too bad i already bought it on XBL :D

    Ditto.

  • CunningLinguist #15 3 years ago

    The pitch of irony.

  • andywilkie35 #16 3 years ago

    I have SFIV so this can suck my balls

  • cherryuk #17 3 years ago

    You sons of bitches I bought this on the HK PSN a month ago now! Oh well

    However I'll get my mate to download it and see if there is any improvements on the online gameplay.

  • YobRenoops #18 3 years ago

    Darren: And to elaborate on disc's point. SCEE have a higher quality bar in QA than SCEA. Think of SCEA as Release Now, Patch Later. Look at SOCOM.

  • serpantdarius #19 3 years ago

    Too little too late, alot of the people who pre-ordered SF4 got it today or are getting it tomorrow.


    Also they should have discounted it due to the wait or alllow SF4 PS3 CE owners a cheaper rate or free to make up for it.

    It'll be interesting to see whether their are any improvements over this version when comapred to the US one as if there isn't we waited for nothing.

  • Darren #20 3 years ago

    @YobRenoops & disc - So was this game buggy on the Xbox 360 then?

    And just why is the PS3 version more expensive anyway? Yeah, it's only a couple of quid but surely it should cost the same as the 360 version or, preferably, less since we've had to wait so long for it?

  • Widge #21 3 years ago

    The thing is, Capcom came out and said, don't blame us, blame Sony!

    God knows where the finger pointing ended up.

  • NinjaWilliams #22 3 years ago

    EPIC FAIL CAPCOM/SONY!!!!

  • Canada_JK #23 3 years ago

    Don't bother guys. Bought it when it was released over here. Now that SFIV is out, I won't be touching it at all. In fact, I wouldn't mind trading it in ... hold on ... oops

  • Rash' #24 3 years ago

    Well, I have this game on DC so I don't really see the point in getting it again. Maybe when my finances are better I may pick it up for nostalgic value, but with SFIV coming my way in the next day or two I, like many here, can't justify the expense. Where the blame lies for the delay is clearly up for debate. From what I've read on the forums here the game was buggy on both versions on it's Nov 08 release.

  • JHuxley #25 3 years ago

    They should offer it half price to anyone who buys SFIV.

    Hire me, Capcom! :p

    EDIT: Hire serpantdarius instead, he beat me to it :(

  • mcwildcard #26 3 years ago

    Capcom can fuck off if they think they're getting my money for this, ONE day before the release of SFIV?!
    I'll bet it's still pretty borked too.

  • chessboxer #27 3 years ago

    @ Darren

    There were bugs on the 360's version but they weren't as bad as the PS3's. At least Capcom managed to submit a passable version to SCEE, just a shame it took them so long.

    Expect a patch soon for the other PS3 regions and XBLA version in the coming weeks.

    As for the price, I think SCE have said that the price is determined by the developer (I'm pretty sure that's what I read). How much is it from PSN Hong Kong?

  • ebony69 #28 3 years ago

    Fecking pointless

  • septimus #29 3 years ago

    Day before SFIV? Fail Sony. Utter fail.

    /got it for 360 instead. Practically unplayable with the 360 pad... teach me for being impatient.

  • Razorus #30 3 years ago

    Lol, I got this for £6 a couple of months ago on PSN.
    +1 to Joppers' comment. It'll be pointless getting it on the same day as SF4 coming out.

  • Ryze #31 3 years ago

    What a fucking mess, Sony.

  • GamesConnoisseur #32 3 years ago

    IF not very many people are getting Euro PS3 SFIITHD version due to delay and timing with SFIV, would this have impact on future DLC from Capcom or other publishers if being more wary?

    Sure Q/A need to be praised if indeed SCEE is more stricter than XBL and US PSN, but still doesnt change the economy of how this is impacting on the business end and whether worth investing?

    Still PSN is to be praised for letting us gamers have Flowers, which I have enjoyed quite a lot!

    Better late than never...like Euro PSN Shivering Island on PS3?!

  • Wildsleven #33 3 years ago

    a bit late? i already got it for xbox live xD.. last year..

  • nickthegun #34 3 years ago

    I *knew* it would come out this week.

    I had a hole burning in my pocket last year for this.....then sony closed up all the credit card loopholes on PSN and it was unbuyable.

    Ended up getting it on the 360 instead.

  • The_Inquisitor #35 3 years ago

    They must have been holding it back till this day, but as such, it is not worth it anymore. Such a shame, I was so eager at first to play it.

  • Ryze #36 3 years ago

    Continued reasons to keep hold of / buy a 360 regardless of games preference.

    Continued incompetence in the online space.

    Continued Sonylol.

  • mikeysyke #37 3 years ago

    I have this already on my PS3 (purchaced from the HK store) and its a great game, its a shame that Sony europe fudged up the release so much. They should have priced it at around £6 for it to stand a chance against SFIV.

    By the way, its all about DeeJay!!

  • Rash' #38 3 years ago

    Have to say I like some of the remixed tracks in the soundtrack in this game.

    Got to agree with EG: Fei Long's theme is excellent.

  • trubadman #39 3 years ago

    woah £12, that's £2 cheaper than GTA IV the lost and damned

  • aidey6 #40 3 years ago

    Surely Capcom canot expect sales figures along the lines of the 360 version, they should have handed it bug free into SCEE by christmas instead of the day before they release SF4, own goal Capcom.....

  • Syrette #41 3 years ago

    Oh dear, SCEEfail

  • Skire #42 3 years ago

    too little too late

  • spammage #43 3 years ago

    If my preorder of SFIV wasn't arriving tomorrow I probably would. If it was December I probably would. Since it is neither, I won't be downloading this at all, which is a shame since I've been looking forward to it for ages.
