Street Fighter 4 confirmed!

If it's as good as SF3, then capcom can lick my ass.

They've started this a few times. :x

...holy hell

oh, hey, that's linked on the main site... but no one's talking about it, so take THAT.

Hah, thats a really awesome teaser~

Doesn't give away much of the game (2009 lolz) but that's a really beautiful teaser

(I'm sure Ryu wins btw )

Been there. Done that. Moved on.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.........

2009?!

My expectations couldn't be any lower. WTF did they make it 3d? I'm a massive fan of 2d fighters though it's practically a dead genre. Last ones I had on the Xbox, SNK vs Capcom 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Capcom fighting evolution all recycled ugly low-res sprites from predecessors.

Only 2d fighter I've seen with hi res sprites is the Guilty Gear series.

KOF Maximum Impact wasn't a bad 3d rendition of a 2d fighter but would have been better in 2d.

Have they definately said it will be 3D, or is it just assumed from the trailer? I mean that does make it look likely that it will be 3D, but you never know. I'd prefer it to be 3D personally. I quite like 2D fighters but prefer things to move on.

Yeah, there's been a ton of 2d fighters in the vein of the Street Fighter series over the past couple decades, it'd be nice to see Capcom do something interesting with the fighters of that style on the current console platforms. (I always had trouble picking out the differences between all those games anyway). They worked well and held their ground on the PS2/Dreamcast, and can still hold up on the handhelds, but they really need to push that stuff forward, on both the gameplay/graphic fronts.

The trailer doesn't say a whole lot, seemed like what could have possibly been gameplay footage clouded in trailer fluff. Hopefully they don't go for some hyper real Tekken/DoA style visuals, it'd be nice if they retain some of the comic art style and do something cool with it.

Something cel-shaded-ish seems in order

Although Street Fighter II Turbo is my favourite beat-em up of all time, I must admit I've lost interest after "Super Streetfighter". Alpha, Alpha Max II or whatever the sequels are called never got me. Nevertheless I'm curious where Capcom is heading with this and I hope instead of adding more useless characters and anime graphics, they go back to the roots (coupled with some new ideas like more interactive stages, maybe 3D).

Will definitely be interesting to follow the development of this one.

I don't think it needs to be 3D to move on (which unfortunately, is what happens in remakes or new additions to old games).

What about using beautifully animated, high resolution sprites along with partical effects and other post production effects typical of a 3d game? Another awesome effect would be slow motion on the final killing blow (like peggle)

Traditional 2d animation in games is a dead art This is one genre that really suites 2d.
