SSFIITHDRbeta is made of fail
BlindsideDork | 8:46 AM on 06.26.2008 20 comments



We all know that this is packed in with the Commando's XBLA title. Perhaps that is only reason you bought it but however way you came by it, it still only leads to and means one thing. FAIL. The thing is bad. The menu's look sweet though.

This bad I speak of isn't referring to the gameplay or if it is broken cause honestly I don't know. That is why it is fail. Everytime I try to find a match online, since there is no single player, it freezes. One time I did hear a voice for half a second before it disconnected, but all other times, FREEZE. So tell me, how am I supposed to test the beta and how it plays online if I can't even get online.


Here I am thinking my Xbox 360 is pulling out its own brand of fail cards, but that isn't the case this time around. Apparently I am not the only one facing this plague of no working if you believe this Capcom forum. But the part that makes this worse is that it will not be fixed or patched at all. The reason? $

Capcom marketing Christian Svensson comments...

We wil not be patching the beta. Resubmissions would cost a fortune and not go live for weeks.

This isn't like the PC where a developer can make changes daily (for good or ill).


They did mention they are looking at all feedback on the game and everything is noted. I sure hope they are able to get the game online and working for everyone because that is a biggie. These "red-tape update" issues are all too familiar to a 360 TF2 vet like myself. Should this be something we bug MS to fix?

But regardless, I can't be too upset over this since it was a free add-on to a game I liked.

man thats a bummer. hopefully it won't be plagued like the first street fighter release on live. i found it unplayable online, but it was great for head to head, which is really what street fighter is all about. as long as it plays smooth with another person in the room i'll be happy. but only giving online play in the beta is kinda dissapointing.

Ha Ha!

Also, I don't think it would consume too much money to fix the online issue, but who am I to say. Im not a network engineer.

They do have local matches but one person with one controller means you can't even try that out.

I was actually going to think about getting into this. Eh, I'll wait until the full game comes out.

BSD - Use quarter matches or tournament mode. Those modes are working fine. It seems that the "player match" mode is causing most of the freezing.

ZING! Your name rules, by the way.

It's disappointing that the beta is lame (at least from what I hear), but you have to admit that the "guy on fire" animation looks pretty sweet.

The lack of updates for TF2 on Live forced me to purchase the PC version two weeks ago. Valve wins both ways, I guess, but it doesn't make me any happier with MS than I was previously.

Oh well. This certainly sucks for those who wanted to play this.

wow...so it's simply vs. and online match? and online matchmaking doesn't always work?

the hell was Capcom doing?

and I was so close to buying orange box for 360 till a friend told me how far behind the 360 version is with updates compared to the PC version.

I think you guys are forgetting that it's a beta. Lol. I don't even understand why they made this a beta, I'd rather just wait for the finished product.

If you bought Commando for a BETA, you're a fucking idiot.
By the way,

BETA.
