Did you hear? YouTube is finally offering “HD” videos and QSF5.com is hopping onboard with this trailer from the upcoming PSN game, Soldner-X.

Pretty, isn’t?

Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer will be released for PlayStation Network on December 4th, 2008 — that’s 10 days shy of being one year later than the PC version. They’re asking just $9.99 USD for it as well.

This game’s checklist is impressive (1080p visuals, Trophy support, 2p co-op), but I’m not the biggest fans of horizontal shooters. Hopefully there will be demo for all of us to try.

You can checkout some info and screenshots here.

Street Fighter IV was given an official release date after some speculation, and now the folks at Capcom have confirmed that Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix will be available next week.

The PlayStation Network version will debut on Tuesday, November 25th with the Xbox Live! Arcade version debuting on the very next day.

I’ve been vocal about my lack of interest in this remake, especially in the light of Street Fighter IV’s debut in just a few short months.

Another week, another nineteen screenshots from everyone’s favorite HD remake of Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo. This batch features Sagat, Fei-long and more Akuma.

Can’t go wrong for more Akuma.

Not sure what impressed me more, the combos themselves or the fact that Capcom put the video together.

Capcom have done us all a little favor and narrowed down the release windows for both Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix.

According to a Capcom-Unity forum post by Christian Svensson, SSF2T:HDR is done and submitted for certification. The game is scheduled for an assumed late-November release, however it may not be a simulatenous PSN/XBLA release if either of them encounter snags during the process. None of this is 100% official yet, so keep your eyes out for updates.

As for Street Fighter IV, it looks like Japan will be getting the much anticipated sequel in February 2009. Early adopters will also receive the animated movie which fills in the gap between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter IV.

Another week and another batch of remake screenshots. This batch features more Dhalsim, E. Honda and Guile. E. Honda looks absolutely massive! Not as foreboding as Street Fighter IV’s incarnation, but still.

Anyways, enjoy this week’s worth of hand drawn high definition goodness.

Slowly, but surely the amount of SSF2T:HDR media is climbing. Soon they’ll match the number of Street Fighter IV coverage! And to think this game was announced before Street Fighter IV. Anyways, anyone feeling good about this remake? With SFIV on the way, I don’t feel like this game is necessary anymore.

Could be just me, though.

I’ve always wanted to play more PixelJunk Monsters. It’s an awesome little game which my brother and I sank plenty of hours in. We’ve achieved “Rainbow” ranking for every single level and thus the incentive to replay them isn’t quite there.

Sony is going to fix all that with a patch.

Come October 30^th (if all goes well), we’ll be able to replay each of those levels for Trophies. I’m not a Trophy or Achievement whore, but any incentive to replay this game is a good enough for me!

Aside from Trophies, this patch includes:

• Selectable difficulty settings - casual, regular and hardcore
• Default Tower menu option
• Video recording/ YouTube support
• XMB custom soundtrack support

Street Fighter IV is shaping up very nicely. The same could be said about Tatsunoko vs Capcom, but what about Capcom’s hand drawn HD remake of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo? Alright. In fact, I believe it has come a long way. However, I believe King of Fighters XII looks better. (That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.)

This batch includes T-Hawk, Cammy and Blanka! Oh, and everyone’s favorite Soviet wrestler, Zangief! No news on a release date yet.
