But what everyone doesn't know is that it might not have made it out the virtual door. Here, in the second part of our massive post-mortem interview series with lead designer David Sirlin (click here for the first part), he reveals just how close the game came to getting the chop from the powers that be at Capcom, and explains why it's better off for Backbone that he doesn't dish the dirt on his departure from the developer.
VideoGamer.com: Did you ever get the feeling that Capcom might cancel the project at any time during the development of the game?
David Sirlin: Yeah that was a possibility. It felt the most possible during that first phase with the art that we had to throw away. It was unspoken but everyone just knew it that if that art wasn't going to work out then maybe they would cancel the whole thing. And turns out they didn't. I wonder if there was just so much pressure from the outside that kept them going."

I played street fighter 2 for years on my SNES even after I got my N64. It was just relaxing the way you could beat the snot out of such iconic characters.
Great news for all PS3 fans (blasphemyyyyyyyy, how can a PC gaming site talk about PS3 fans, how, HOW, HOOOOOOWWWWW) as RPCS3 is making a lot of progress. Since the launch of a Patreon campaign, its author has been working hard on it and it appears that its latest version can run a couple of games.
well it's not almost playable but very interesting. probably like a year or 2 from being fully playable

Well, we just found out that Capcom, one of the better retro supporting companies out there, has this package with Humble Bundle full of Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 games. You better hurry and grab this one because time is running out."
I wish Sony would get the licenses for all the classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s for the PS4.. I dont see why they wouldnt want to make money? I miss those brawlers like xmen, tmnt, etc.. So many great games people are forced to play on mame
