Still no SSFII Turbo HD Remix for PSN

By Robert Purchese Published 15 January, 2009

Dead Space, Skate 2 demos instead.

Sony has stuffed the PlayStation Store with new content but there is still no sign of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

The highlights this week are demos for Dead Space - focusing on the key game theme of dismemberment - and Skate 2. You can expect our thoughts on the latter next week. It's out on 23rd January.

Magic Ball is the premium game on offer for GBP 7.99 / EUR 9.99. It's a Breakout-style affair where balls topple 3D buildings during physics-based mayhem. Power-ups like lasers and cannons add spice, and you'll find plenty more information on the US PlayStation blog.

WWE SmackDown vs. RAW gains wrestlers Evan Bourne, Ted DiBiase, Super Crazy and Charlie Haas for GBP 3.19. There are masked versions of Kane thrown in, plus Kelly Kelly and Maria in Mrs. Claus outfits, and different clothes for Chris Jericho, MVP, Edge and Rey Mysterio.

Elsewhere, Shaun White Snowboarding expands with two premium packs and a freebie. The two GBP 3.99 additions are The Mile High Pack - new gear and a new mountain - and The Hard Pack, which adds a massive new mountain with extra competitions and side quests. The Freebie Pack adds new clothes and boards.

Moving on, and there's a GBP 2.39 expansion pack for Brain Challenge, bolstering the original with more mini-games, multiplayer games, Creativity mode and Kid Test and Senior Test modes.

A free Savage Moon Theme is up for grabs (our review next week), and there are bundles of Guitar Hero World Tour, Rock Band and High Velocity Bowling extras.

Rock Band gets Lenny Kravitz tracks "Are You Gonna Go My Way", "Freedom Train", "Let Love Rule" and "Mr. Cab Driver" all at GBP 0.99 a piece. Roy Orbison also joins the fray with "Claudette", "In Dreams", "Ooby Dooby", "Oh, Pretty Woman", "Mean Woman Blues" and "You Got It". All are GBP 0.99 or you can throw down GBP 4.99 for a bundle.

Guitar Hero World Tour, meanwhile, gets singles "Low (Travis Barker Remix) [Feat. T-Pain]" by Flo Rida, "What's My Age Again" by Blink-182, and "Lycanthrope" by +44. Each costs GBP 1.59 or GBP 4.39 as a pack.

Finally, High Velocity Bowling gets new characters, costumes, balls and trick shots. Each separate piece costs GBP 0.79. And we're not listing them.

    Kelly Kelly and Maria in Mrs. Claus outfits. Just to reiterate.

  • Stuz359 #3 3 years ago

    What are they waiting for with SSF2THD?

  • Darkedge #4 3 years ago

    "All are GBP 0.99 or you can throw down GBP 4.99 for a bundle."
    so pay 4.99 for a BUNDLE of 5 songs? yeah I want to pay more to have them together - jesus they really think we are stupid.

  • Rash' #5 3 years ago

    disgruntled gamers = hits galore

  • Santino #6 3 years ago

    SF4 will prob be here by the time they remember that they forgot to put SF2 up.

  • mingster #7 3 years ago

    I think the problem was capcom don't have any european servers for the mutiplayer games because its not peer to peer coded.
    Just make an american psn account and download from there using psn code/points instead.

  • JohnnyWashnGo #8 3 years ago

    Lost interest in this 2 weeks ago - Looking forward to SF4 now !

  • Moonprince #9 3 years ago

    What makes you think its to do with scee..?

  • DFawkes #10 3 years ago

    I think the guy that does certification for SCEE was raped by Guile.

  • kissthestick #11 3 years ago

    wow SCEE really sucks when it comes to capcom psn stuff

  • Artemus #12 3 years ago

    Might as well just wait for few more weeks for SFIV now. Considering Capcom is a partner on PSN, you'd think they would put more effort into their releases over here.

  • aristotel #13 3 years ago

    Still no Echochrome trophy update as the US got last year!

  • chessboxer #14 3 years ago

    The last I heard, HD Remix hadn't passed SCEE's bug process. If that's the case then you can either blame Capcom for not fixing the bugs (several severe bugs exist) or SCEE for being too thorough. Then again, how many people complain about games not being finished before they're launched?

  • septimus #15 3 years ago

    Fuck it, and fuck Sony EU. Going to buy it for the 360 (and have to get a decent pad). Assholes.

    /no I can't be assed to sign up for an online credit card.

  • Furfoot #16 3 years ago

    They're right not to release SF2 HD in the EU yet. I have the US version and its TERRIBLE the amount of bugs in it. There's non stop disconnects and UI errors whereby you can't even see the health bars.

  • Razorus #17 3 years ago

    Apparently there are techincal issues to do with the the UK PS3 and TVs. Something about not being able to do 60Hz or some crap like that, not sure.
    Been waiting for it for ages but I refuse to get it on 360. I suppose I could make a US account but what if the game doesn't work on my PS3? I've almost given up hope. SF4 ftw.
    And yeah, that Deadspace demo has been up for ages, Eurogamer. Almost as bad as having Beyonce's "Listen" suddenly appearing as a "new entry" on various music channels despite being more than a year old.

  • FenderMaster #18 3 years ago

    I can't see any Skate 2 demo, are you sure it's up this week EG?

    oh, and been playing SSF2 HDR since November, theres a hell of alot of bugs and disconnects, just getting to play a match is a challenge in itself!!

    I hope that they're using this extra time to iron out the bugs for the pal release, because the US one still feels like its in beta...

  • jonsaan #19 3 years ago

    New Mountains for SW. Aha, so that's why you only gave us 4 to start out with. Disgraceful.

  • chessboxer #20 3 years ago

    @ septimus

    Some, if not all of the bugs found on the PS3 version are also in the 360 version (many 360 owners complained that the game crashes on the menu screen or locks up the 360).

    The beta testing done on the 360 during the summer seems to have been a bit pointless for it to come out in its current state.

  • Kill_Crazy #21 3 years ago

    Skate 2 is pretty good. Am quite tempted to buy it and i don't usually like skateboarding games.

  • Machetazo #22 3 years ago

    I've thought a bit about whether I'd prefer SCEE had lapsed its requirements, to let Capcom's game on there - but, I always decided NO! While it's unfortunate that the game's not available, it would also be unfortunate (perhaps moreso), if the SF2 experience were spoilt and good feeling towards the game and what it represents damaged and soured, because people weren't able to be patient, and some shonky, half-broken "version" is released. I think that all involved were right to hold it back, till its up to standard.

    Anyway, I'm happy to see that the DLC that I liked the look of, when it was announced on the playstation.blog, has found it's way here now - so I'll probably indulge in that Bowling game, over the weekend. :)

  • cherryuk #23 3 years ago

    Well I'm past caring now - now that Lost Season 5 is a week away this game has lost it's waiting appeal!

    @ Razorus - are you talking about normal CRT TV's as I'm sure the days of 60hz are over, because people who get a PS3 purchase a nice HDMI LCD screen to go with it. So there is a universal 1080 HDMI - am I correct here?

    Well every game released now has some bugs in - look at Tomb Raider Underworld - it's not perfect but it still plays OK.

    Well it's their fault if they release it late and get less people buying it that wait for SF4.

  • Kilted_Moose #24 3 years ago

    For those wanting to get hold of Street Fighter, just create a Hong Kong account and buy it from there. It's in English and all UK credit cards work, too.

  • bad09 #25 3 years ago

    Why do I even bother checking these whats new on PSN/Live articles anymore, it only irritates me there is virtually sod all for me every week :(

    I want to spend money with you MS and Sony why do you do everything to discourage me?

  • cherrylocke #26 3 years ago

    @Kilted_Moose

    You're a f***ing legend - downloading now!!!!

  • Kyle #27 3 years ago

    Are all these bugs everyone is talking about for SFII only in the PS3 version? I wanted to get it on PS3, but eventually got it on 360 and I haven't experienced bugs of that kind so far.

  • FenderMaster #28 3 years ago

    okay, still no Skate 2 demo, all the othe crap is up ther like HighVelocity Bowling dlc, and Dead Space again, but no Skate 2, is it hidden somewhere? Because it's not on the main page

  • Razorus #29 3 years ago

    Ok, I need help.

    I made a US account but I can't use my card because it's a UK one and they won't let me change country when I input my card details. How do I get past this? I had to make a completely new email address and everything just to get here, so wtf?

  • bad09 #30 3 years ago

    @ Razorus

    I'm certain I read you can buy US PSN cards from somewhere and use them, not sure where myself but have a search on the forums or google and you should find something.

  • Velios #31 3 years ago

    LOL the whole point of STII HD Remix was to get the street fighter buzz going in advance of SFIV - They have totally fucked this up now, complete douchebags.

    Now I'm waiting for the inevitable "net code" problems with the PS3 SFIV to mar the gaming experience while 360 owners play lag-free games into the early hours.

    It's piss poor by Sony, and they totally deserve to lose the hardware war. I'm no Microsoft fan, but they have really outclassed Sony from the word go.

    It's also interesting to note that when I wasw just in GAME an hour ago, most of their PS3 titles were on sale at discount prices while the 360 versions of the same leading games were still at full price. Except Mirrors edge which was on sale accross both formats (mustnt have appealed to people)

  • Schiraman #32 3 years ago

    @menage

    Yep, you're right - the Dead Space demo has been out on PSN in Europe (well, in the UK at least - so I assume Europe in general) since sometime before xmas, I have no idea why EG are reporting it as new content.

  • cherrylocke #33 3 years ago

    @Razorus

    I created a new user - signed up for a HK account and when I paid using a UK credit card I put in the first line of my address. and then the country/region I could not change - but it works perfectly and I'm downloading it now!

    Go for the HK shop it's sooo much better than the crappy UK version.

    You can get all the KOF for PS1 - and Tekken2 & even more - so what are you waiting for?

  • Razorus #34 3 years ago

    Don't worry man, I'm just done the same thing! Downloading right now.
    I didn't change anything in the billing address. I used the same as the sign up one which was Lee Street, Chan District, Hong Kong
    or some crap like that.
    The only issue is that I have no idea how much money I spent just now. I just said purchase and they didn't add any fund to the wallet, just took my money. :S
    Should be regular price anyway.

  • Razorus #35 3 years ago

    OH SHIT, wait!
    It says NTSC, 1080i, 1080p etc.
    I'm playing my PS3 on a plasma TV with component cable in 1080i. Am I ok, or will it not display properly?

  • Gormless #36 3 years ago

    What a load of wank, you cant beat getting Christmas DLC in the middle of fucking January.

  • Razorus #37 3 years ago

    Ok, it works don't worry. Bloody hell it's hard tough. I've got a blister on my thumb.

  • Zaltan #38 3 years ago

    The SKATE 2 demo is crap... for anyone that hasn't got it yet.

  • FenderMaster #39 3 years ago

    I still don't see a Skate 2 demo on either the EU or US store, where can I find it?

  • shotgun44 #40 3 years ago

    I just want more classic PSone games put up! Bit of resident evil and team buddies wouldn't go amiss! Also I hope one day they release bubsy the bobcat on the MS store!

  • GamesConnoisseur #41 3 years ago

    "It's also interesting to note that when I wasw just in GAME an hour ago, most of their PS3 titles were on sale at discount prices while the 360 versions of the same leading games were still at full price.

    Yes observed the same but DURING the pre-christmas shopping, which is how I got Fallout 3 collector edition for only £20 whereas bog standard X360 Fallout 3 was still at RRP.

    The consquence could be that these kind of sales would feed back to the publishers.

  • cherrylocke #42 3 years ago

    @razorus if it's SF2HD then it's £6.70 done the math - it does look stupidly expensive at HK$76.00, just convert it using xe.com

  • Velios #43 3 years ago

    PS3 Will probably Sony's "Dreamcast"

  • DAN.E.B #44 3 years ago

    dont worry about it you,re not missing much same old game in hd
    just wait for 4.

  • cherrylocke #45 3 years ago

    It's the same game, but you've got to appreciate the lovely redrawn art - although Cammy looks like she is stoned with those big blue eyes!
