Capcom V.P. Sven was back on the Unity Boards today in response to some of the problems players have been experiencing with HD Remix.Why is HD Remix an abomination? If you go on the HD Remix forum, you'll see masses complaining about glitches, bugs, connectivity, and how its way better on the XBox 360. Well, that's not very fair, is it?
And when will it be out in Europe?
Sven: We're exploring issues on both platforms that are exposed by extremely broad usage. Some things may be issues in our code. Somethings may be issues with the servers at first parties. Frankly, we're not sure right now where some issues lie.
We've seen a couple things come up that haven't hit any of our testing or any first party testing. Nothing completely broken, just a few annoying issues.
That said, I strongly object to calling it "an abomination". Doing so only makes you look ignorant of the reality that it is a fantastic game by any measure (read our forums, comments or hell go read SRK... they are indeed raving about it inspite of a few issues).
Given that by your own admission, you haven't played it you really probably shouldn't be throwing around such accusations unless you'd like to look silly. I understand your concern, but hyperbole and vitriol is no way to make your point.
On the issues of Sony Europe, I've explained before, we've not gotten approval from SCEE and so it's not available there yet. When we have a final report from SCEE, and approved code with a scheduled prop date, we'll let you know. Until then, I'm sorry it's not available. I certainly wish it were.
Will a patch be released to enable classic backgrounds?
Sven: No. The new backgrounds required a completely different set of code so there's no way to add back the classic backgrounds.
