Street Fighter 4 is a go
 

Teaser trailer.

There was some kind of Capcom event today at which Street Figher 4 was finally announced. No info yet, just that teaser (Which by the way is not necessarily what the final game will look like).

I'm not a SF fan myself but I figured I'd post this for those of you that are. I think the teaser looks pretty rad at least.

Looks good to me.

I don't believe it. So, they going 3D or what?

So they're moving on from tacking on words to the same game over and over again like "Street Fighter Alpha Beta Pocky Puzzle Round-Up HD SD D S'ing Puppies?" It's about time they make a new game.

I don't think so. That's what Street Fighter EX is for.

It wouldn't suprise me much if they did make it 3d, nor would it really bother me if it was done right, because I think we're at the point were we can have the 3D graphics looking like they belong there.

I think they're gonna keep it 2D. They tried the 3D route with the EX series, and I don't think that series received any kind of praise. But if they do take it 3D, I hope they can really make it on a level far past DOA games.

Wasn't the EX series done by someone else anyway? Personally I don't see any reason not to go with 3D, but what do I know.

The last EX game was also released some 7 years ago when state of the art graphics weren't anywhere near what they are now.

Street Fighter blows.

Well isn't that fascinating?

Well, this news about makes my day, though I never figured it'd ever actually happen at this rate. Good things do come to those who wait...

I suppose I should note that the artistic aspect is just as important as the technical apsect, too. Like, if the game looks like that trailer, I think we'll be fine.

Isn't Street Fighter the game all of the really serious fighting game nerds love?

I like it. E Honda is my favorite. It's funny that they are just getting to #4 though.:)

Did you just assume something about someone you know nothing about?

Really, did anyone pay attention to SF III?

I'm not really sure what that was supposed to mean.

Just Zarius pretending to know what the hell he's talking about. Street Fighter III: Third Strike was probably the high point of the series.

I'm hoping this turns out to be good, and I'm hoping they keep the 2D gameplay but with 3D graphics (Smash Bros.), but I'm worried. Capcom USA now owns the rights to the franchise, so the odds of it being farmed out are high because the original Street Fighter staff moved to Sammy in 2001. If it doesn't go to the right studio, the whole project is a waste of time.

SF III has virtually no big leauge fanbase beyond the nerds. Mainstream wise? Nothing. Height of the series was the Marvel/ Capcom wars, III just rode the curtails in between. Cult stuff, nothing more.

Let's not, however, get into arguments, since that's the major turn-on of some people...and get back to this.

I actually agree. I love SF3 (Third Strike especially) but most casual SF fans I know either didn't really like, or have just never played it. Once they see the roster of characters available it's a turn off to a lot of people I've met.

Most defendants of SFIII do tend to use "Third Strike" as the primary example, but the first two certaingly arent ever used. There's only ONE first impression, SF II managed it, did SF III? Noooooooo sir.

The fourth HAS to make the first impression for the other upgrades or risk complete indifference

Surely, you jest.

Let's not forget to mention it had the Alpha and the EX series. So this game might be the fourth in the main series, but it's not the fourth Street Fighter game to come about.

As for Street Fighter III, I enjoyed the game. But the one flaw I did see in the game was it giving you an option of one super combo move to use the entire time (or until you lost). Why was that change even considered? I thought that was just stupid. Give your players all the super combo moves to use. Each one came in handy in different situations.

Anyone, I still think to this day the best Street Fighter game is Alpha 3. I hope Capcom has what it takes to outdo it.

Like I said, the outcome depends on the house producing it, but what the hell. I'm getting on the frigging hype train now.

STREET FIGHTER IV BITCHES W00T!!!!!!!

Surely, you (jail)bait.:lol:

I'd expect SF IV to be more than just "testing a roster" then adding older characters in upgrades, five old characters, five new characters, or just go nuts and have eight and eight, but give us VARIETY

Is that supposed to imply he has sex with underage kids? If so, your comments would be better directed at either Doom or Ai.

But they love the foreign delicacy, it's a cultural taste, I can't possibly impeach them for it:cry:

Exactly. I have cultural taste. Wait....what? :| I DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH UNDERAGED GIRLS.....all the time!

Yeah, he doesn't have sex with anybody!

Dang, poking fun at my virginity. That's low, dude. I thought we were friends! :cry:

I laughed until I just about died.

SF IV, huh? Hopefully, it'll spawn another anime TV series. SF II V was awesome.

An inspiring post I found while fishing around Shoryuken forums...

That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Wait. You thought Street Fighter IV was going to be developed by American studios? ROFL!

LMAO! Yeah dude, that's not happening... everrrr. And thank God it won't.

I wasn't making reference to whether he cared for it or not. I'm talking about how Street Fighter seems to be the game all the hardcore fighting gamers play for tournaments.

Looks really nice. Very unique style.

Well, I guess sprites just officially died and went to heaven. That said, it looks nice and the return of Chun Li makes me a very happy person. Even better, that shot gives the impression that the gameplay has remained 2D. Win.

What worries me though is that those visuals look like high-end Wii in quality. I certainly hope not.

Are you kidding? The Wii couldn't pull that off. Take note of the lack of jaggies.
