It's not JUST street fighter 2 turbo with pretty graphics. There ARE balancing in the remixed mode, and the internet play is kinda awesome as well. (though it needs some bug fixes) Anyways, great to see this game is doing well.
Semantics aside, SSF2THDR is a great title - I've enjoyed the hell out of it. The rebalanced mode plays very naturally, so much so that it's my default when I play online.
What ryu89 said: "The game is good, for sure. But at the end of the day, it's still "just" Super Street Fighter II Turbo with pretty graphics." Seriously, did you miss the whole balancing fact?
*face palm*
The quotes around "just" were there for a reason. To most people, it's "just" SF with pretty graphics. Relax.

I'd say SF4 is more about "pretty graphics" than SSF2T. SSF2T HD Remix is pretty much near the top in terms of best fighting games ever created.
When all it says is: "The game is good, for sure. But at the end of the day, it's still "just" Super Street Fighter II Turbo with pretty graphics." I'd like to know where the "to most people" come in, as opposed to the "this is what I think."
HD Remix is a really good game. It's my favorite multiplayer game right now and I've been playing the hell out of it since they haven't fixed Castle Crashers yet. @_@
It's worth every penny. Capcom did a fantastic job of resurrecting one of their greatest games, and I now have 100% faith in them to do it again with Street Fighter IV.
@Matlox:
Fair enough. You got me. To me, the HD Remix is just Street Fighter II with fancier graphics. I'm not a professional SF II player, and I don't play competitively, although I've been playing the game since the early 90s. While the numbers don't break it down, and I doubt we'll ever know, I would guess that majority of the 250,000 people who purchased the game won't/haven't noticed the "rebalancing." Because even though I know it's there (Capcom told me!), I didn't notice it much either. I wouldn't deny it's not there, because that would be idiotic; there's most definitely changes, some more obvious than others.

Your opinions shouldn't be an excuse for making flatly incorrect statements in your front page articles.
Nick, did you play SSF2T back in the day? Because *anyone* who owned that game would immediately notice how much easier it is to play as T Hawk.
I sort of like flatly incorrect statements on the front page articles. It's like a game that keeps us on our toes.
Although I prefer flatly incorrect statements like "Although the Dreamcast was the best-selling games system of all time, and received a divine blessing from the hand of God Himself, the Dreamcast was unable to save the busload of teenagers that slid into Dry Valley Gulch on that fateful autumn day."
Because we all know that the DC did avert the Dry Valley Gulch bus disaster of '03.

I would just like to say ... HDR probably has the best netcode of any fighter to date. They did put a little more into it than most people think.
OK, I submit: In order to avoid my house getting fire-bombed by the Capcom Defense Team, I updated my story. Everyone remain calm.
A happy SSFIITHDR gamer here. Maybe, just maybe, it could have been better to add a couple of animation frames more on each character. Aside from that, the game's brilliant.
i've said it before, but i have to give Sirlin & Co. props for turning my old favorite game into my new favorite game. just having an online version of ST that works is enough to sell me on the game.
Whether you think it's "just" prettied up or not, it's fucking great and worth the price. Some people notice the changes, others don't. No big deal. They still probably all enjoy it.
You gotta love the fake fireball to Shoryuken, novice or otherwise.
I hope another 250,000 people buy it.

My two gripes in the art direction of HD transition: Cammy's head is too big now, and Ryu used to have a baby face and he looked somewhat sympathetic. Now, he just looks like an asshole without any feelings. Oh, the cpu is damn hard to beat. I suck at it.
I love this game. But the amount of bugs are inexcusable. I can't compete on the XBox version's leaderboards, because the game wipes people's rankings to zero inexplicably, and makes it impossible to rank higher from that point on. The music cuts out every time I play on both systems. The scoreboard freezes multiple times every time I play. You have to quit and restart the game just to be able to see your health.
All that said, it's retarded how much I love this game. Glitches aside, it's amazing. Still, the glitches are an embarrassment. Here's hoping it's popularity speeds up a fix.

This game is awsome, but has more bugs than a tijuana hooker.
Seriously it locks up my PS3 every time I play it. And almost every time the life bars freeze at some point, forcing a restart.
