Having just got it (wahey!) I first watched the BluRay movie it came with (wahey!) which looked like it was done by the people who did the original Anime which is excellent rather than that cheap farce Alpha one...
Anyway fired up the PS3, had a go noticed some things, some good some ugly:
It plays quite a bit faster than the old games, which is bad for old tacticians like me and sometimes ends up as "press as many buttons as you can"
Some of the "cartoon" characters (i.e. new ones) are utterly pointless (personal opinion), and (as with SF3) some are nearly impossible to beat as they are way quicker than you can react.
Some characters have the old T.Hawk "only got one move one you can't block it or counter it" rubbish, yet you play as the character and mysteriously the CPU can block and counter with the same character you played as.....
Played against Sagat, obviously worried! Battered him until he had no red in his life bar, then hit him 8 times without him blocking once and he didn't KO. Instead he hit me 4 times and took the 50% life I had straight off and won. How?????
Controller issues. I counted that at least 4 times a round hurricane move resulted in a low sweep (??) and sometimes the controller chose not to respond at all. Like when I was winning against Ken. he stood there with no guard I did the throw command twice and it didn't respond, luckily I ducked his Shoryuken...
Menu music, why is it soooo lame? Why can't we have the music from the series?? (games as well as TV show) reminds me of PES....
I'm going to get a PS2->PS3 controller adapter so I can test some response issues with my Namco arcade stick just to be sure :)
