I just read an article about procedural synthesis and how it could lead to gamaes that never aged and looked better and better as systems progressed. This (SF2 on 360) is a prime point in the discussion I think. Much like my response to Mortal Kombats continued death-throws on next gen consoles, I say to them "Meh". Want to impress me? I want more SNK v Capcom style mega-crossover fighters with shit tons of sprites. Show me a game with Autobots, Decepticons, Megaman, Mario, Snake Pliskin, He-man, Steven Seagal, Voltron, Ryu, Ken, Kano, Fulgore, Sabrewolf, the whole gamut. Better yet give me a game with an OSS model/fighter engine and let the community pick and choose the characters and submit them to public scrutiny. Ugh…SF2 remake.

The 360 version looks similar to the arcade or SNES version. The images are from a ZX Spectrum, an old computer from the 80s. The 360 version looks similar to the arcade or SNES version.

Also, the whole Live thing: If Live could be like Steam in that you could (for free) browse content to buy for free (the browsing is free) and use the revenue from the purchases to support Live in total (i.e. also support the playing online portion of Live) then that would be the golden ticket.
