ReadyUp – 9/10

“It’s your duty as a fighting game fan to pay homage to the game that gave us one of the greatest moments in fighting history and showed the masses what makes the genre so special”
1UP – A

“3rd Strike [is] one of the most technical and tactical fighting games ever… you owe it to yourself to play this classic”
NowGamer – 9.2/10

  • Haven’t played a Street Fighter game since I had a Sega Genesis.

    Been too busy playing Tekken and Mortal Kombat

  • I love you Sony

  • I was about to say UPDATE THE STORE ALREADY!!! ….then I open the store and its updated xD

  • i just hade an earthquake in my room sony. look on the news its all over, i should get this game free for the danger i just went through. glade my ps3 aint fall off the dresser…

  • @52 If you should get a free game for every time you had an earthquake… I would have dozens of free games from sony…. danger you went through… lmao…. california has an earthquake every other week.

  • Is feel nice to have this game on ps3,I already pre-order it so i just have to wait for later today for the store update to get it.But now im thinking when capcom going to make snk vs capcom 2 online hd remix edition,and street fighter alpha 3 online hd remix edition and few other top capcom game.Im expecting capcom to do a makeover of street fighter alpha 3 becuase the one that we got is only a ps port.I think the dreamcast version was far superior than the ps1 except for the dreamcast control.Imagine street fighter aphal 3 with hd and online support and so many other feature,is would be awesome.Also bring Power Stone double impact which would include power stone 1 and 2 plus extra feature.:D

  • It looks good, but is their custom music support ??

  • mrfear818 i was obviously being sarcastic, danger is danger regardless of numbers. **virtualy smacks you with ah caution of a dont know sarcasm sighn**

  • Downloading this now!!! can’t wait to play it! Even bought a Chun li avatar, I’m READY!

  • Ugh! I’m stuck in class while everyone else is enjoying this awesome classic…. At least I have it pre-ordered.

  • ok im going to be off topic in this one since im not getting this for a while so heres the thing WHEN WILL THEY ANNOUNCE AN OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE FOR STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN? im crazy for that game oh and one more thing if i preorder street fighter x tekken i get the sf x t official fightstick for the price of the normal one without preorder or you have to preorder the specific edition of the game? (im new to preordering fight games) and i NEED a fightstick

  • Put up Tekken 3 on PSN.

  • Anyone wanna play sf3 with me ? Add me !

  • I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t read most of my commands. I’ve played the arcade one heavily as well as the ps2 version, but in this version, I’m having trouble pulling offs moves. Its not until I slow down, then it reads. But if I put it in too fast, then it doesn’t come out. I don’t have this problem with SF4 and every other fighting game on the ps3 (blazblue, tekken, arcana heart, battle fantasia, MvC2, MvC3, ps1 fighters). I remember the timing and pace of SF3, but lots of things I’m doin aren’t coming out. And, I’ve tried different controllers of mines. Again, they work fine for all of my other games, but not this one.

  • yeeeeess…I’ll get with no doubt.

  • I’m hoping they (that’d be Sony in this case, since it seems like this is some kind of youtube function that Sony programmed) improve the video quality for youtube uploads. As it stands now, it looks terrible.

  • @painofsarrow yes because im supposed to know sarcasm over the internet….?

  • I’m with you, mrfear818. Never overestimate the intelligence of the average gamer. Remember all those whining procrastinators when they found out the Welcome Back package didn’t last forever? And Sony even extended that deadline. Now everyone’s gonna feel entitled to a free game after every little thing.

    Anyhoo, I’ll wait for a sale or something, sorry. I bought MvC2 on sale because it’s a “must-have,” and I just couldn’t grasp that game. I doubt I’d fare any better with Third Strike.

    What we really need is an HD remake of Hyper Street Fighter II. Isn’t half the work already done with SSF2T HD Remix?

  • Awesome !!!

  • 2 things?

    1) Song?

    2)Will we see Vita or Move sport?

  • Very good game indeed, well worth it especially with the 20% discount.

  • Nice wordplay, but I preferred Shoryuken

  • What about European PSN ? THey haven’t updated the PSN store yet. I can’t get pad on the game! Help US!

  • Thanks For The Demo Helped Me Save $11.99

  • im getting marvel vs capcom ultimate insted…..you guys are 2…. so why waste ur dollars on this old title when you know the other game is better

  • To anyone who doesnt know what DRM is should be very careful when purchasing a game…..like said previously its a data rights management……but you as a customer should know what that means……it means your game wont play offline and will only work online….because of the “rights management” part your game will be constantly watched by the “mothership” to see whos on and to verify the game belongs to you….Its the biggest SCAM out and people should be more aware of DRM especialy my fellow gamers and friends

  • took 4ever to update the damn store……………….. what’s the point of a digital preorder if u hafta wait longer than midnite?
