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.
