I suspect "dated" here might be video game reviewer codeslang for "failure to demonstrate bleeding edge graphic technology".
Which, actually, in terms of artistic style, animation quality, and character design, SFIII: 3rd Strike could IMHO be considered on the bleeding frickin' edge after five years. However, it's not 3D with Super Wang Shadow Shaders (tm) like Doom 3, so it doesn't really count.

My favorite part?
You see, he could have used "definitely", but "defiantly" since it works just as well. He's that good.

So, SF: AC for Xbox is going to support Live, right? Must play SF3:3S online.

The engine doesn't employ Super Wang Shading (TM) - that's what is wrong with it.
Just the typical problem for this gen -- they took a low-res 2D game and line-doubled and interlaced it (ie, it now runs in 640x480), so it looks chunkier and has some "rippling" artifacts when things move. The PS2 version adds an optional blur filter too, which is on by default.Sai said:
Mainly a Samsung TXN2775HF via component. Given the image "enhancement" crap HDTVs do to interlaced signals, it's not ideal for non-progressive 2D games. Any image artifacting I mention here is not a result of this TV, though. It's the same old stuff you see in almost every recent 2D game, for whatever reason.

ne new feature in the SF series is allowing players to press one, two or three buttons to boost a special move's damage for the cost of some of their super meter. Imagine the possibilities, you can shoot a slow fireball (light punch) then follow up with a three kick hurricane kick to do some serious damage. This system encourages players to perfect and master a few moves rather than memorize a large set of moves players rarely use.

Wow, that got me lolling.
What are these 3 button special moves? Was he playing MvC instead? Lucky I won't have to master Aegis now, I'll be fine with just Urien's tackle and headbutt, since the game suggests I use as few moves as possible.

On some TVs, with the filter on, the game is still super sharp and no longer has the interlacing flicker and artifacting. The two TVs I have had the best success with are Sony WEGA 27 inch and Panasonic TAU 32 inch, both with component, filter on, TV settings with VSM turned off, color temp normal, and minor adjustment to sharpness, contrast, and color temp settings.
Edit: Both of these TVs are the non HD versions. I have not tested this game on an HD TV yet.
