That would be awesome. I would also love to see a HD remix of capcom vs snk 2 also.

Third Strike is the best in the Street Fighter series. I was disappointed that the cast from Street Fighter III was neglected from Street Fighter IV. Please - for the love of God -let Capcom remake Third Strike...

Not going to happen.

Said it before practically all over the internet, guess i'll say it again, there is just too many frames of animation for it to be a sound business decision, I mean look how long HDRemix took, and theres barely (barely) half the frames of animation in that than there is in III.

It's the same reason we are seeing an MvC2 rerelease instead of remake (license issues aside) it's simply too much work for the money it would make. It's not a viable full priced retail product, and as a downloadable product it's not going to cover the costs of making it (not to mention even getting it on the services in the first place, HDRemix is HUGE file size and has 12 characters with next to no animation frames)

I'd love it as much as the next fan, but it is not going to happen, beleive me or don't it's your decision.

Capcom are a business like any other, and if they are going to lose money on it, or it's going to take such a long time to make it won't be out until the sun explodes, it won't happen.

The game doesn't even need a remake.   It looks great as it is.   If they give it the the MvC2 treatment a while from now and make it downloadable with online, I'll be happy.

Don't blame me :\ I'm just the messenger, I want an HD remake as much as anyone else but someone has to dowse the fire before it burns someone.

Though it is possible for Capcom to bring the original Third Strike to PSN & XBLA - with some added content, like the stages and the theme music from the first two Street Fighter III games.

I say, Capcom should give it the same treatment like Marvel Vs Capcom 2, like give it some HD filters and a robust online modes; I'll be fine with that.

Also, if you remember, Capcom did redraw the backgrounds for Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, but not the sprites; Capcom could the same for Third Strike.

It's possible I suppose, but with Puzzle Fighter the sprites were pretty much part of the background.

I'd fully support it coming to XBLA/PSN in a filtered (optional unfiltered) format (those aren't 'HD' filters, a filter gets applied to the entire screen, or specified image/area of image, regardless of resolution) and given the success of recent titles it's quite probable.

Don't expect them to many ANY changes to third strike however, but be hopefull that they do. Honestly though the online is bad enough in HDRemix and SFIV that if III is anything like that parrying becomes a no go area. My timing is way off in SFIV to the point I got beat by a Ryu simply because everytime I TAP'ed around his fireball, it mysteriously hit me. The way the game hides lag (drops frames) is absolutely disgusting as well, it shouldn't have even been a consideration.

I know it's been said a billion times already, but I agree on the giving it the MVC2 treatment.
There're my two cents.

SOme 3rd Stike with some MvC2 magic... that would be nice. I wouldn't mind buying some 3rd Strike themes either :) A leadershipboard and match making modes would be a great addisiotn for a PSN and XBLA version for that perfect arcade experience.

Whether they HD it or not, I'd buy it

Strike and Impact merged, a wide array of competition modes and online features. two new characters., and I'm sold. Street Fighter 3 online has to happen one day, the sooner the better as far as i'm concerned.

YES YES YES! =D

Someone already said it but 3rd strike really doesn't need to be redone in HD... It's a beautiful game as is, and the quality of the visuals still stands very well. Probably the second best looking 2D fighter I can think of... And I think I could debate that one with myself anyways... It's between SF3 and Guilty Gear XX....

Yea I didn't like the SF3 games at all.  Hated most of the new characters, too weird.  Q is cool though and has a cool theme, but he doesn't seem to be a great fighter (at any level).

Not only would the animations of SF3 make it hard to remake, but the game has a much more narrow appeal, so you'd be spending way more money but getting a much smaller market.  It also goes against the wise direction Capcom took with SF4, returning the game to it's high quality roots.

I agree with TayTay.  I'm not a great SF player, but I can recognize talent, and we're seeing whole new levels of expertise and gameplay possibilities with SFIV.  It's amazing watching people play who really know their shit, because they take the excellent parrying system and move beyond it to a whole new level.  Now, more than ever, it's a thinking man's fighter at its highest levels while still being entertaining for those of us who can't react and think as quickly as them.

I used to think the character designs in SFIII were weird, but I think it was because the animation was just so strangely fluid to me that I found it... bizarre when it first came out.  Only after I rediscovered the arcade scene did I really start digging some of the characters and the gameplay.  Don't get me wrong, I suck ass at SFIII, but I have a blast playing it.
I miss Alex T__T.
Alex, Dudley, Remy... where have you gone?

How the fuck are the characters -like Makoto - is "too weird"  even compare to Blanka? Only Street Fighter II fanboys are stupid enough to think that a superb fighting game like Street Fighter III is crap because of the characters. A true Street Fighter fan loves Street Fighter as a whole and not dislike a game because the characters are "too weird."

As for the gameplay, Street Fighter III is only perceived as technical because of percise timing, it has nothing to do with depth. Maybe the problem isn't Street Fighter III's gameplay, maybe it's you, you just suck at Street Fighter III.

As for only targeting a narrow market? Street Fighter III popularity has grown a lot since it's released and there's a lot fans of Street Fighter III. And for the people who haven't played the game, are curious about the game. Also, there are people who played Street Fighter III after they played Street Fighter IV and they ended up liking Street Fighter III more than Street Fighter IV.

And for Q not being a great fighter? Check this shit.

Well obviously you're a Street Fighter II fanboy who is trying to cover up your stupidity by going after Street Fighter III's gameplay - which there's nothing wrong with. It's also stupid that you're criticizing a game that you obvisously barely have any knowledge of.

As for the characters, Necro was kidnap by the Illumanti and experimented on so that's the reason why Necro is so unique - or as you like to call it "weird"  Oro? how the fuck is he weird? Oro is 140 years old who trained in a cave for fifty years and is consider to be the strongest fighter in the world. Ultimate solider - A.K.A Twelve - is a great character he can shap shift into almost anything and he has a great and original play style so how do you find that boring or even weird? Urien & Gill, my God, perfect example on how truly full carp you are. Urein has the power to manipulate electricity and metal while Gill has the power to manipulate fire and ice, their designs are base off of real Gods so how do you find that weird?

As for the rest of the characters, appearanly you don't know much about those characters cause obviously when you first saw the characters you were so focus on the fact that the Street Fighter III characters were not the Street Fighter II characters and you never gave those characters a REAL chance. Also, Dudley is consider by many - and that's includes casuals - as one of the finest characters ever created.

And what about the characters that were introduce in the Alpha series? I don't see people hating those characters and hell, even the fucking EX characters are not getting any hate. I think it's because the Street Fighter II appear along side them. If the Street Fighter II characters appear along side the Street Fighter III cast, you would be loving characters like Alex, Hugo, Remy, etc.

Street Fighter III popularity has grown a lot, you just don't want to beleive it because you still hate Street Fighter III -  and I'm pretty sure it's a stupid reason on why you hate the game. And just to let you know, Street Fighter IV is the reason why people are curious about the game. Maybe you're not much of a true Street Fighter fan to even know that.

Street Fighter III's gameplay is the pinnacle of the Street Fighter series, that's why the game always comes back in the tournament scene. And others who haven't played the game will love the game as well once they get a chance to play it.

Q may have some disadvantages but he does come out on top.

Q, the master

...And your true issue is with Street Fighter III is the characters -  which is a stupid reason to hate the game (Your reason for hating the game is stupid not you.) and it's not the gameplay. And even though you called Street Fighter III itself "crap", you said you would like Street Fighter III if it had some more characters from Street Fighter II.

If you even remember, Street Fighter II was a major departure from the original Street Fighter. Capcom felt like they had to go more new with Street Fighter III seeing how they milk the whole Street Fighter II formula a lot.

You should take your ass over at Capcom Unity and you'll see tons of fans of the Street Fighter III characters.

And you calling me stubborn?looks who talking. I'm also not a Street Fighter III fanboy, I am a true Street Fighter fan who loves Street Fighter as a whole and would love for Street Fighter III to get repersented in Street Fighter IV. Street Fighter III is my favorite game in the series and I think it's better, but I don't call the other Street Fighters crap.

What the hell is the problem Kou, the dude doesn't like SFIII's character designs.... OH NO!!! We should force him to LOVE it against his will...

I love SFIII's gameplay but I avoided it because I didn't like the majority of it's characters, why the fuck should someone devote time and effort to playing a game they don't find visually appealing?

Bullshit, if anyones a fanboy here it's you, you're certainly throwing enough insults to fill a fanboys quota. Just accept the fact he doesn't like SFIII and move on... I do beleive he is allowed to dislike parts
of a franchise, just as you are allowed to like the franchise as a whole. If he wants to call SFIII crappy, fine, in his mind that might well be true so how about you lay off telling people how to think?

 Street Fighter 3 is crap for a lot more reasons than its fighters

Care to explain?"

For the record, I only said SF3 was crap because you used that hyperbole term in the first place, and I thought it'd be a bit of fun to go along with it.

HURR.  If you still don't understand, press Ctrl+F and type 'crap' into Find.  See who said 'crap' first."

So the troll reveals his true form.

Wow i started something diabolical...

Seriously.  I do not wish to be associated with this flame war!

You calling SFIII crap just to get me pissed off is clearly trolling."

Both of you should really not get wound up so easily... Kou, you are bound to come across opinions that are in stark contrast to yours, some that seem like trolling, there's no need to go in all aggressive with a fuck in the first sentence though, simply ask for a explanation, and expect no reply to sufficiently justify calling SF3 crap.

The vast majority of the fan ship know it's not "crap", far from it of course, so why seek any explanation in the first place?. Crap games do not get played at the very highest level of competition.

The fact is SF3 is much lovedand appreciatedamong the SF faithful. SF3 may have aspects that do not instantly appeal to those who have leanings to the SF2 style of gameplay, I can understand this, but at the same time I am confident such people have for the most part been totally converted now. 

If you spend ample time with the game you begin to see the games many merits. These merits went unnoticed in reviews when first released, disgruntled reviewers who had little time with the game had their negative say. While curious fans on the other hand were open enough spend  time with the game, enough time to firmly think in stark contrast.

I have spent  enough time with the game to know it's awesome. Character roster/design could have been better, but it's a non issue where there is so much quality elsewhere, and when the game feels so cohesive as product.

"The game doesn't even need a remake.   It looks great as it is.   If they give it the the MvC2 treatment a while from now and make it downloadable with online, I'll be happy."

Quick Diamond! Use your ultra combo!

Yep, put it on the digital services, and MAKE ARCADE STICKS MORE READILY AVAILABLE!

That...would be incredible. 3rd Strike is still my favourite fighting game of all-time.

I'm down if they make it.  I just bought Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for Xbox and been playing 3rd Strike lately.  Would love to see it remade or re-released.

Street fighter 3 has good graphics, but all the characters are stupid.

While a remake would be cool, I'd be 100% fine if they just ported it to the Live Arcade and added an online lobby system. That'd be awesome.

Ibuki & Makoto are sweet. So is Hugo, lol. Hugo is way better than Rufus.
