Digg it! - Fans go pro: How OC ReMix put its stamp on Street Fighter II

http://digg.com/gaming_news/Fans_go_...eet_Fighter_II

*** We need your help spreading the word by digging the above article/interview!! ***

For those of you who haven't heard, OC ReMix is providing the remixed soundtrack to Capcom's Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, a high-definition remake of the classic fighter! The Digg above links to an article/interview over at Ars Technica - we need your help in getting the word out about this game and our involvement in it, since the game (currently in beta) is about to release in a few months on Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) and and PlayStation Network (PSN).

We've actually done three interviews:

• Ars Technica: http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/ocremix.ars
• Console Arcade: http://www.console-arcade.com/2008/0...fighter-ii-hd/
• Fidget: http://www.fidgetonline.com/fidget/public/feature/28

We've got more interviews coming up, but we need your help! Digg them, Slashdot them, blog them, LiveJournal them, Facebook them, MySpace them! Whatever you can do to spread the word on OC ReMix doing the Street Fighter HD Remix soundtrack, we'd be grateful for!

You can also stop by Capcom's official forums and let them know YOU LOVE OC REMIX doing this soundtrack:

And if you know of any web, print, television or radio media that would be willing to talk with OC ReMix about Street Fighter HD Remix or our free video game music ReMixes, please let us know with an email. We'll send you free OCR bumper stickers! We believe this soundtrack is going to open the OC ReMix community's music up to a much broader audience, in a good way, and we're looking forward to sharing it with everyone when the game is released!

Thanks,

AWESOME!!! once i get my 360 fixed (or a new one) i will gladly spend points to get the game just for the soul fact of hearing your guys' remixes

That's awesome news, but at least half of those songs are not up to snuff. I really hope the artists were forced to go back and improve their work.

I hope a ton of people buy the game so poor Andy can afford some shoes. ;_;

I wasn't sure if I'd pick this game up since A I suck at fighting games, and B, Since I suck at them I cant play them for too long. But hell if its supporting our remixers. I'll pick it up for sure.

Nice interview. I hope this is just the first of many projects for OCR.

A few people are already spinning this story into a negative light - such as "Capcom being too lazy to make their own music is supposed to be impressive?" and "Boo Capcom for taking advantage of its fans to do free work". I think it's a nice portfolio piece if you like to make music. And fans do stuff for free anwyays.

Capcom has nothing to do with the game other than licensing out the rights. But yeah, I do hope this is the first in many OCR scored games. As much as the BotA songs don't fit a fighting game, they'd still be better than the poor sounding shit some "official" composer can put out (these days at least).

Jimmy owns his house. He just didn't care about ripping down the existing wallpaper.

As for Andy not having pants, maybe he's a nudist in training. But I wouldn't wanna see it. Hairy. SnappleMan might.
