Capcom having issues with SSF2THDR's file size

Not putting a hard drive in all 360 consoles has got to be the stupidest decision that Microsoft has made with the 360.

The size allowence has got to go up soon anyways. There is noway the announced Quake 3 Arena will fit in 150 meg. I don't see why the Piece of shit Xbox originals get to be 1 to 2 gig in size while the much more successful Xbox live arcade has these stupid limitations. I hopeing they up it to 300 or 500 meg then we will see some really amazing games hit the Arcade. MS needs to stop holding the developers back bottom line. And for the record I say the stupidest thing MS has done is a tie between Xbox Originals and giving us Undertow for free.

You'd think they could handle it kind of like Naruto: Rise of Ninja. Tack on the second soundtrack as a free separate download to the game. That way they'd cost the same price on PS3 and XBLA for the same amount of content.

It's such an obvious "HAHA, PSN is better than Xbox360!" Style situation, that you'd think Microsoft would cut them some sort of break, to quell the naysayers early, if they need it.

I thought MS was pretty clear that they'd make exceptions to this rule in certain cases? This seems as good of a case as they're likely going to get.

The size has to go up and it still could. They've already forced people with 64MB cards to buy something else to play most XBLA games that come out now... The new card is 512MBs anyway, so there's still room in there as it is. Forcing them up to the HDD next isn't an impossibility.

Since MS seems to see the 512MB memory cards as the new standard, why not up the file cap to something like 250MB?

Am confused: I thought they upped this ages ago? How the hell did they fit Castlevania SotN (a ~500MB ISO when I put it on my PSP...) into 150 MB? Actually, bad example -- I bet most of that 500MB was Red Book audio tracks, so if they just recompress to MP3 it would presumably be fine. But I agree with #2 that Q3A is never going to fit into 150 megs, so even if I misremembered the limit (it was much smaller at the very beginning, right?), the current one can't last long.

Right?

i dont agree not including an internal HDD was a bad decision since the external design allows for EASY upgrading - try upgrading a PS3 HDD.

The mistakes MS made IMO was (A) not including a HDD in the cheapest model - i mean include a 20 gb or even 10 so people have SOMETHING - if MS eradicate the ARCADE and make the pro $250 they will really start to shift units imo

(B) imposing a size limit on XBLA games, let people decide if they want to use the space on a quality game

(C) not allowing DEVs to dictate HDD only games. i.e. GTA IV is obviously having difficulty fitting on a dual layer DVD, why not allow R* to use the HDD ?? c'mon how many people own a x360 with no HDD - i mean you'd be silly for doin so

Another reason why MS's size limit is a joke. They truly fucked up huge by not making the HDD standard. I mean heel, they could have just made it 10 GB. What would that have cost them? No more than $5 per HDD if they mass produced them.

and for the record LIVE is so much better than that PSN c-rap, i also think XBOX originals are pretty cool - if they release DEF JAM F 4 NY.

UP the Darn limit It Microsoft!
I'm Sorry But Screw the Cheap Azz Core Owners!

*That was a dumb move not to include a HDD*

Figures lol.. all the PS2.5 geeks are happy about this one.. although this victory will be short lived

*That was a dumb move not to include a HDD*

totally agree - LOVE the external design, LOATHE the fact a HDD wasnt included in the cheapest pack - hey theres always room for another SKU

we could call it the X360 Arcade Turbo Edition LOL

I got this bad feeling they're just going to release the game with 4 characters and offer the rest in downloadable packs.

*i dont agree not including an internal HDD was a bad decision since the external design allows for EASY upgrading - try upgrading a PS3 HDD.*

Upgrading a ps3 HDD isn't that hard as it is sounds, though one has to use a screw driver to insert the new harddrive into a metal frame (which takes about less than a minute.) I mean, when I first got my ps3, I tested it out how easy it was to take out the HDD by only removing one screw. but if I wanted to remove the HDD from the removeable metal frame, I have to remove 4 more screws, which as I said before, would probably take a minute or less. True, xbox360 HDD is just plug and play (that is what my brother did when he bought his 360 and later bought a HDD for it weeks later,) but I like how the PS3 uses a pc harrdrive since there are so many different HD size space one can buy for cheap (ex. 250 gb for 60 dollars.)

Hopefully, Capcom finds a way around this dilenima with the SSF2THD remix for the 360. I can imagine a patch or addon pack of some sort like packing the original SSF2T and the remix game separately or packing the remix game with the original soundtrack, but have the option to download the remix pack.

This is terrific...just great. Any guesses on when this game will finally come out?

I can't believe they might be forced to use 1080p sprites (WHO CARES) over an additional soundtrack because of PSN. 720p should be fine. It's STREET FIGHTER II. The fact that it's purdier now isn't what's going to KEEP people playing it online.

Can't they just downgrade the 360 one to 720p to fit everything then?

I can't honestly believe some people are bashing the process of upgrading the HDD in the PS3.
Oh my god. You have to use a screwdriver! SCREW THAT! I'd rather pay a vastly inflated price for something else I can just stick on! Those screwdrivers are hard to use you know! *walks into a wall over and over whilst saying "Ow! I am a genius! OW!" *

Something like losing this game on XBLA only to see it go PSN exclusive needs to happen over and over again so that Microsoft can get their collective heads out of their asses and start including HDD's in every 360 SKU.

That way you wouldn't have these asinine file size and data buffering restrictions limiting the entire console platform for the sake of a handful of cheap ass gamers.

I agree with your comment (as said on my previous comment that removing a harddrive isn't as hard as the poster I was commenting one, suggested.)

There is always going to be someone who is going to try to find faults with another system to justify why their system is better because of a version of their game is missing something. For instance, it is like someone saying something about one version of a game on another person's system, saying how one game doesn't have (insert special feature here) and the other person then goes around, saying "At least my system is better because it is (insert console color here)"

This reminds me of my previous A-hole of a roommate who out of the blue, said how he had issues of grammar and spelling (ex. he gets his singular and pural words mixed up,) but immediately said "I am better than you because I don't stutter."

With that said, people would find any faults of a system they hate to say why their system is better if their system has some faults, including trivial stuff like controller size, console color, logo, etc...

It is a way for them to sleep better at night, so to speak

The answer is simple, Email Gates.

Well.. tit for tat.. PS3 was the cause for the GTA delay.. xbox for this one..

But just to pile on. I was never a fan of the core and I wish they could just phase it completely out.

Actually they should scrap the whole XBLA, PSN thing and just include it in SFIV as an unlockable bonus game.. that would be sweet.

i take back wat i said about the PS3 - i was mis-informed and after some research, i love the fact you can swap out the HDD for any 2.5 inch sata drive - pretty darn cool if u ask me.

now in theory theres nothing to say you couldnt place an SSD or hybrid drive in there. I wonder wat effect that would have on the console performance, PCs show better boot time but game perf. is negligable

First: #7/James: Q3A was never announced as an arcade title. It's 98% certain that the game will be on a bonus disc included with "Quake Wars." Just like Quake 2 was included with Quake 4. And yes, the PSX/PSP version of CastlevaniaSOtN had redbook audio - when re-encoded, it fit in the 150MB download limit.

This has me a little worried, to be honest. If 'portions' of the game aren't as HD as the others (backgrounds 720, but fighters 1080? Is that possible?) I wouldn't care for it as much. The true HD experience is something I have wanted for years. You could buy an HD cabinet of Street Fighter 2, or even SF3, and it's still not going to be what we can expect from all of the work going into this new game.

I'm excited for SSF2THDR. And I will be very angry if the 360 version has to bow out to the PS3 version.

Nu

My only question is when is zangief gonna shave his chest???

wanna see a hot street fighter t-shirt??
