Capcom Announces Street Fighter 4 and More!


  Mark this year as one of the most momentous years for gaming. It's announcements like this one that keep making this job so worthy and awesome. After much anticipation and hype, Capcom finally delivers with their promises of bombshells.

   Street Fighter 4 was officially confirmed at their press event in London just a few hours ago. A concept trailer was shown depicting the series' two most recognizable fighters exchanging some moves.

   The current release date scheduled is more than a year away, which hopefully means we'll see it in time for the 2008 holiday season.

Street Fighter 4
Development has just begun and the release of the game is more than a year away. No platforms are yet confirmed - a highly stylised animated concept trailer of Ryu and Ken fighting was shown, but no game footage.

Street Fighter 4 Confirmed

What could be better than Capcom bringing back Bionic Commando? How about Street Fighter 4? Games Radar is reporting from the Capcom Gamer's Day in London that the 4th game in the series has been oficially confirmed. A stylized trailer of Ken and Ryu fighting was shown, but no actual gameplay footage, and while development has started the game is still more than a year away for whatever platform it ends up coming out on, Still, we can all rest easy that it is indeed on the way. Along with this amazing news, Capcom also announced Lost Planet for the PS3, a new Ace Attorney game for the DS featuring and new main character, and an all-new sci-fi action adventure game called Dark Void. It takes a special kind of company to wait 20 years from the release of the original game to finally get to number 4 in the series. I can't wait for the year 2012, when we'll be playing Super Street FIghter 4 Hyper Mega Hologram Remix. Yum.

[NecroPhile]

Hmmm... I don't know what to think about this.  The trailer makes me think that they're really pushing for pretty 'look at my hair blowing in the wind' graphics, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're neglecting the game play mechanics.  At least Capcom's trying something new and not just slinging us the same old hash.

[Kitsunexus]

Let's hope it's still 2D.

[Hobo Xiphas]

Let's hope it's still 2D.

Capcom isn't that stupid

P.S. - The over-under on the number of hyper turbo championship impact x revisions to Street Fighter IV is three.

[Joe Redifer]

I hope it's a card game for the PSP.

[Kitsunexus]

I hope it's a turn-based strategy game.

[NecroPhile]

I hope that they make a spin-off platform game with Dhalsim where he attacks enemies with a stretched out punch, kick, or head butt and yells "Yoga" every time.  That would be cool.

[Joe Redifer]

Will Sonic be in it?

[Hobo Xiphas]

No, but Bark will be

[nat]

I hope it's a turn-based strategy game.

they could call it "Street Fighter Tactics"

[Turbo D]

Looks promising. I hope that its for arcade, although there aren't many arcades around anymore

Let's hope it's still 2D.

I hope so too. I think capcom learned its lesson after that lame EX one for psx, but you never know. They might make it 3-D to compete with VirtuaFighter 5 on ps3( and soon to be on 360 come halloween).

[SignOfZeta]

Well, its nice to know that SF went out with a bang (Third Strike) because its clear now that that will have been the last real SF game.

[GUTS]

That's a pretty bold statement based on a teaser trailer with no actual gameplay footage.  At least wait until some actual gameplay is shown before whining about it.

[SignOfZeta]

Its 3D, and from my vague understanding of how Capcom works these days, almost certainly American developed. Also if it isn't coming out until 2009, as they are saying, then that's way too much lead time for a project that actually has a solid idea behind it. Virtually all (good) fighting games are made in less than 9 months.

Street Fighter is dead. I'm not whining about it, rather its just a simple statement. Its OK. There are plenty of 90s fighters to last forever.

[Turbo D]

I'd say that you can't beat Street Fighter 2 on hucard. If capcom really wanted to make money, they would pay nec to re-release the pcengine. 

[Tatsujin]

i hope NEC-Ave considers to bring this to the pc engine.

[Kitsunexus]

I really hope it's not Street Fighter EX 3 and instead is more like SF2 Turbo but with all the characters and GIGANTIC HD 2D artwork.

At least we have the HD SFII to look forward to.

Too bad it probably won't add any frames of animation.

[Turbo D]

What I don't understand is why they don't make 2-D games anymore  They are obviously more fun.

[Joe Redifer]

Making 2D games has recently become illegal.  Everyone hates 2D games.

[SignOfZeta]

If by "they", you mean Capcom then the reasons are basically that they lost interest/staff and pretty much pulled out of the arcades. There is so much more money in crap like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, etc.

But...the upcoming Sengoku Basara X is 2D, a fighter, and from Capcom (Japan even). It might not suck.

If by "they" you mean anyone in particular there are still 2D games being made all the time, even some that aren't on DS. Even some fighters. Arcana Heart, Hokuto no Ken, Melty Blood, KOF XII was just announced a couple of weeks ago.

I just finished Mother 3 last week. Fucking great, that.

Also: Contra for DS. That should be fantastic.

[Tatsujin]

Making 2D games has recently become illegal.  Everyone hates 2D games.

yeah..our small commune here is soon going to face the same experience like in "Fahrenheit 451".

[Turbo D]

lol, I wouldn't doubt it 

[SignOfZeta]

I really hope it's not Street Fighter EX 3 and instead is more like SF2 Turbo but with all the characters and GIGANTIC HD 2D artwork.

Well, it won't be EX3 because there already is an EX3. It was a direct-to-PS2 release and nobody gave a shit.

It won't be HD 2D though. It will be 3D. The whole point of the trailer was to show you the graphical direction it's going in.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

The trailer got me excited!




 

[Keranu]

I thought the trailer looked pretty ghey, but hopefully the game is good.

Personally I don't see why Capcom would make it 3D since they're probably well aware that Street Fighter is for a 2D fanbase. I definitely got a feeling that this won't be coming to the arcades though.

[Kitsunexus]

Now that I finaly got home form work (early!  ) I will review this trailer.

GOOD: The music was awesome. The characters were drawn and animated well.

BAD: Nothing about this movie except for Ryu and Ken was even REMOTELY Street Fighter. It's all Matrix-y wire-fu shit.

I was excited for this, now I honestly couldn't care less.

Street Fighter is dead, Capcom is a zombie.

[Turbo D]

I didn't even waste my time watching the trailer 

[Kitsunexus]

I didn't even waste my time watching the trailer 

If you like hybrid nuskool Big Beat/DNB it's worth just leaving on in the background.

[guyjin]

That's a pretty bold statement based on a teaser trailer with no actual gameplay footage.  At least wait until some actual gameplay is shown before whining about it.

but if we didn't whine about things, this board would be dead due to lack of posts.

Nah, there is always going to be a ridiculous poll just around the corner .

[Kitsunexus]

I hope it will be a first-person sidescroller.

[Joe Redifer]

I hope it will be a 2nd person RTS.

I'm a big fan of the 1st person sidescrolling genre, though.   Tons of great games in that.  Yeah.

YOSHI'S SAFARI!

[PCEngineFX]

They should really call this "Street Fighter XXXVII"....seriously, we are WAY past the number "4" here.  Trailer looks sweet though.

[nat]

Aaron's right. Street Fighter is a series that has had more entries than Friday the 13th, and yet somehow they are only up to part 4.

I think part 2 alone actually included games 2 thru 495.

[Keranu]

New information and a single screen revealed here - http://www.n4g.com/ClickOut.aspx?ObjID=90608 .



I like the graphic style, still looks kinda 2D.

[NecroPhile]

Ewww, I don't like that at all.  Ryu looks like he survived open heart surgery performed by a ax wielding surgeon, and the fisheye look is f'n up his proportions (his right foot is nearly twice as long as his left hand).  It looks like Capcom wanted us to know that Ryu is 100% man - If he gets such a prominent package, then I can't wait to see Chun-Li.

[guyjin]

Ryu looks like he survived open heart surgery performed by a ax wielding surgeon,

they're called 'muscles'. I know that, as a gamer, you don't see people like that too often, but they do exist.

[Turbo D]

It looks pretty cool

[GUTS]

Holy fuck that looks cool, I hear it's going to play entirely in 2D also.  I'm totally pumped for it now, can't wait to see what the other characters look like.

[Joe Redifer]

I am looking forward to the Street Fighter HD Remix more.  These 3D character models look pretty piss-poor:




Much work still needs to be done.  At least I hope to science that these aren't the finished characters.

[Keranu]

Agreed, we need more manly characters these days too.

Man that first screenshot I posted was looking pretty good, but it's starting to look worse after seeing the one's Joe posted, haha. Ken looks goofy.

[Kitsunexus]

After seeing the trailer those character models are disapointing. Good to hear it'd 2D though. 

[Turbo D]

I dislike how the newer streetfighter games have goofy looking characters.

[guyjin]

goofy? I'm not seeing it.

I think they look good.

Hmm looks like a hybrid to me a mix of 2d&3d 

Guess i was holding out for the good old hand drawn spirtes.

Still,who i'm kidding there are hardly any programers left that do that any more.

[nat]

Looks better than I expected, and not as good as I hoped. IF that makes any sense. But I'll wait to see/play the finished product to pass judgement.

[Kitsunexus]

Looks better than I expected, and not as good as I hoped. IF that makes any sense.

Makes perfect sense to me. Realistically, you thought it would be worse than this, but you fantasized that it would look as good as the trailer did.

Count me in that boat as well.

[NecroPhile]

they're called 'muscles'. I know that, as a gamer, you don't see people like that too often, but they do exist.

Thanks for filling me in, genius.  Let me know if you find a way to develop such a deep division between your pecs and yet keep them as small as your abs. 

Much work still needs to be done.  At least I hope to science that these aren't the finished characters.

Word.  Ken's face reminds me of Ash's face after being pulled and stretched by the Necronomicon in Army of Darkness; such cheese has no place in Street Fighter.
