Holy.
A while ago I was following this game with intense, groin-warming desire and now I see that it has a release date. December 31st 2008.
To those who are wondering what all the fuss is about, this is a High-Def, updated version of the classic 90s video game Street Fighter II. All graphics have been hand drawn by a top tier animation studio - to see what it looks like at full res go here:
It's just unspeakably beautiful.
For many guys my age, Street Fighter II was the game that got them into arcade gaming. If you're my age, you are probably old enough to remember a time when there was a huge gap between what an arcade machine could do and what your home Amiga / NES could do (nowadays the gap isn't so large). Street Fighter II became the reason to go down the arcade, ignore the obligatory 1942 cabinet and line your 50ps up on the SF2 cabinet, with its punch and kick buttons all worn out.
I remember very clearly the first time I played Street Fighter II. It was in Farnborough Leisure Center, Surrey, UK. I was maybe 12 years old, and chose Blanka. Can you remember the first time you played Street Fighter II?
