Starplate — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:42:16 MST

I didn't mind the painty art style but damn, Ryu looks like crap. the past comment about Hulk/Superman lovechild definitely describes it perfectly.

I get the feeling it'll be like suped up version of SF EX but maybe not suck this time.

I'd would be interested if they will progress the story for the fighters (though most people will say people don't play fighters for the story) and not let Ryu walk into the sunset looking for the next challenge for the 4th frickin time. Time to bring on the next chapter of the Ryu/Akuma relation!

Keep in mind guys, the EX series was actually done by Arika, not Capcom themselves.

[en.wikipedia.org]

Given the amount of experience Capcom has had with 3D games since then, I'm pretty confident they could translate Street Fighter into an awesome 3D game while still keeping the same "2D feel".

As long as it does not look like those EX Street fighter games it will be ok cause 3d has been the death of street fighter games. I mean they can get away with some crazy 2-D cell shaded fighting and it will be ok. But i think it would be a smart idea to keep it old school for the OG's who grew up playing street fighter. you know the ones who knew what arcades where and what the no cheezing BS people said when you where kicking their ass with ryu hahahahahahhaha Good Times!!!!! damn iam going to take a walk to my local laundry mat and play some third strike right now!!!!!

@Josh*: Yes. We all did.

And I too, hope it is a nice, okami style (lightly used) 2d engine.

If someone walks over and can't quite tell if you are playing a game or watching an anime, you know you've done something right. Guilty Gear did this (back when it doubled the handdrawn resolution), but it's been recycling art for awhile now.

@Echo_Hotel: I think you're looking way too much into it. :/ Haven't they always looked that broad in the shoulders? Haven't all the male characters in Street Fighter ('Cept like Dhalsim and other skinny characters that were meant to look that way) always looked bulkier than a normal human being?

Come ooon exclusive to the wii with motion controls!! Yeah right, i know... Could be potentially earth shattering if done well though. :P

I'd be quite surprised if this didnt turn out to be a 2.5d update with silky smooth animation. No way they would mess with the main franchise and make it a 3d combo button masher (they should have learned with ex).

Looking great so far. If they can translate this style into the game, I'll love it. If they can pull off a good fusion of 3D graphics with the traditional 2D gameplay, I'll really love it.

If it's just a boring 3D fighter... Meh.

CheechWizz — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:52:59 MDT

The website, www.streetfighterworld.com has the tag line 'A new beginning'. To me that sounds like it's gonna be 3d. And you know what, I actually want it to be 3d. We've gotten to a stage where you could easily do street fighter 2 style character design convincingly in 3d. And let's be honest here, 40-something 2d versions is enough right? I mean what's there left to do for Street fighter in 2d? Even if it's gonna suck, atleast they tried something new (well not really, but you know what I mean). Plus, while I like DOA and soul calibur just fine, they don't have fireballs.

I hope this gets a release on a new jamma compatible arcade board. CPS4 perhaps? Finially something that I'd replace the Project Justice set-up in the candy cab for. Unless of coarse it's in 3-D. Then I'd spend the rest of my days wondering why capcom would do that to us.

Wouldn't mind seeing the game in 3D. Love the graphics of Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Devil May Cry 4 running on the Framework engine. And I guess they'll be fighting in closed areas like before and thus should be able to cram even more details into the scene.

@Echo_Hotel:

I'm not sure about others, but to me your comment sounded very condescending, as though whatever your nationality/race is, is inherently superior to Japanese "boys" in terms of physical build and bulk.

It's just a freakin' videogame, and the developer is free to do whatever they want with it. I wonder how much realistic / stereotypical you expect it to be, and how beneficial - if at all - it would be to make games that only conforms to your views / perceptions in life. Most importantly, I'm not seeing how all the points you stated are negative for the game? Please clarify.

I hope to GOD, Capcom has finally decided to make 2P outfits and not stupid color edits. I would love to see Street Fighters look like...well, Street Fighters. I don't mind seeing characters in their uniforms, but who actually dresses in Dougi's or what have you at a Street Fight? Let's see some jeans, T-shirts, mini-skirts, shorts, cardigans, the whole shebang! Costume edit would be a nice touch, too. Make it so Capcom, make it so!

...so can we expect SFV in 10 years as well? I don't know if I can handle these 10 year intervals...

Wow, the trailer really raises some interesting questions. For example, in the middle of the trailer, Ryu rushes Ken. We see a close up of Ryu, dodging Ken's punches. However, the camera then cuts to a longer distance shot, and we can see Ryu is at least 10 ft away from Ken. Has Ken been training with Dhalsim? Find out in SFIV!

Imagine though if in the middle of the fight you could bring out the brush and paint a bomb on the other fighter? Wouldn't make for very good multiplayer, but it would be satisfying to do that to Bison a few times.

FightingChance — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:42:21 MDT

Love the art direction of the trailer, great impact.

It is interesting, Capcom of Japan 'sold' the Street Fighter IP to Capcom USA years ago (if I remember correctly). I would take that to mean that this game is being developed stateside? I do not know of a development house of theirs here, though.

I reached a plateau of skill in all the SF games, but I loved every one because of the precise control and gameplay balance. I never got the parry to work in SF3, but watching some tournament level play was intense - Street Fighter was once compared to chess in it's pacing and I believe that is a valid assessment. It would please me to see Street Fighter remain that tight.

I'm not sure why everyone is worried about Sega's involvement. VF is to 3D fighters what SF is to 2D, classic and technical.

I put the chance of a true 2D hand-drawn SF4 at roughly 0.

If the SF property is going to receive a 3D treatment there's none better qualified. Capcom certainly can't handle it themselves as demonstrated by the entire SFEX line.

Echo_Hotel — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:47:49 MDT

Ok maybe I'm watching a different trailer than Everyone else but I have some legitimate "issues" with the art style.

Ken I can almost forgive looking like HE-MAN, after that eyebrow shot I was genuinely expecting him to pull out a sword and shout "BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL",
But Ryu?!?

WTF!!!
...
...
...
Look at his HEAD!
He Looks like Superman and the Incredible Hulk had a love child!
Also NO amount of training can make a japanese boy THAT BROAD across his shoulders, He's got to be taller than half of Japan just laying on his side!

I don't even want to imagine what E.Honda would look like in this style, just Ken and Ryu already look to be a shade over 400 pounds apiece poor Honda is going to need to be delivered to the ring by a forklift...

All in all WHAT THE H3LL?!!?

"Teaser" is the key word here. Basically, the main purpose of the Street Fighter IV teaser is Capcom saying, "This is Street Fighter IV. It exists. It's being worked on. And it is most definitely coming for you all. Recognize, respect, and prepare thyselves, bitches."

In reality, this is all they needed for their megaton announcement.

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that SF4 is going to be cel shaded but keep the 2D gameplay style. Perhaps they will do something to make it seem a little 3D, like throwing someone into the forground and having the fighting plane rotate, but I doubt that they will have the full out side-stepping 3d. Like someone said above, it just wouldn't work.

I liked the little trailer, but the faces took me out of it. The rest of everything looked so much better then their faces. If it's not 2d, or AT LEAST 3d characters that fight in 2d, then what's the point. I agree, super high-res animation like the HD version.

This could be really good if the put the effort into it. Could put sega back on the map. But they musn't over-japanese-ise it...if you get what I mean. All the beat em ups today like soul calibur and virtua fighter just scream japanese and it's getting repetative. Street fighter feature predominantly european or american fighters, I hope they think about this when designing the art.

If a fighting game actually looked like this, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Hell, any game, really.

Wow, I'd play a game that looked anything like that. Quite pretty.
And you can't make a game like this in 3-D. Reworking the entire battle system for 3-D just wouldn't happen on the basis that all of Ryu and Ken's attacks - or anyone else in Street Fighter - would miss if someone took a single step out of the frame. HADOKEN! **sidestep**

I'd actually still like everything to be frame by frame, even if they character models are rendered in 3-D. Something like the Hurricane Kick would just look ridiculous if you saw just how fast a photo-realistic Ryu was spinning.

And besides, 3-D fighting games have been out for well over a decade. Capcom sticks to their roots with their 2-D fighters and make a killing at it.

FINALLY. Along with SNK's KoF revival, this is an awesome time to be a fighting game fan. This better not be a 3D fighter, though. And I didn't think Ryu and Ken could ever look any worse in 3D than in the SFEX3 intro, but...

Why does everything always have to be darker? Rich colors can be just as amazing. Browns blacks and greys. That's all you see in some games.

That's an awesome trailer. It'll be nice to see some gameplay footage too.
I wonder if they're going to try and give the character some back story like most modern fighters do. In game I mean, not like another SF tv show or movie.
Maybe some CG movies when you beat the game with each character like in Tekken...

How this must be done:
3d, but primarily play as a 2d fighter. Certain moves (attacks) will project (throw) the character into the background or foreground which will also be done in 3d and be completely destructible.

Of course... please.. god in heaven .. keep that awesomely delicious art style from that trailer... keep it a little darker than past versions... keep the gameplay fast (as in 2d fighter speed... lil bit faster than sf3)

This must be epic. I am psyched. I will kill babies if this doesn't deliver. Capcom flavored babies.

I know since Ken is a rich boy he must have but has Ryu ever, in his entire life, worn a pair of shoes? I wonder about Akuma as well.

Ahhhhhhhhhh YEAH!

Kewl video.

I hope the game has 3D models that play in the 2d realm, just like the recent Ghost 'n Goblins for the PSP. That game played just like the previous ones but looked beautiful.

I'm noticing a severe lack of "tatsumaki senpuukyaku!" and likewise screaming. That aside, that was very nicely done.

I'm interested to see how they go about this.

It may not have shown any gameplay footage, but at least it gives us a look and feel of what to generally expect. But the looks of it, I'm going to be very impressed!

Love it, better have Sagat. If the characters are 3d models, well that's ok, as long as the game plays like a 2d fighter. ;)

If this game isn't in 2D, then it isn't Street Fighter. That said, the trailer looks cool, but how about some gameplay footage...or at least some information?
