What platforms is this going to be on?

I think fighting games are a bit limited these days. Where's the story?

P4P: fighting games are not dead. They have been relegated to a niche market, but they are having a resurgance. In the U.S., the EVO tournaments are increasing in size. In Japan, they have always been there in the non-extinguished arcade market, and the Tougeki tournament has helped put fighting games in the spotlight.

The rest of your comment just shows that you have no idea of how complex a _good_ fighting game can be. A shitty fighting game is as irrelevant as your Nth Cruisn' clone, but a good fighting game is ageless. There is a reason why even today Super Street Fighter II Turbo is played competitively despite being so simple in mechanics. It is to fighing games what is StarCraft is to RTSs.

@PlayingKarrde: Natsuki can be either. There's a jazz artist named Natsuki Tamura who's fairly well-known, and (presumably) is packing penis.

fighting game industry needs to learn to call it quits when you're all out of ideas...be it street fighter, mortal kombat, tekken or soul caliber.

geez, you can say the same to smash bros...but at least that one still hasn't come close to jumping the economical shark; therefore they can justify the sequels. Also, that game is very much unlike the rest...so its once-a-console release schedule will last a long long time even though they peaked a long time ago.

A fighting game is simple, one human player vs one human player in a battle. Fighting games CAN BE so interesting and interpretive...yet you get more of the same literal sf2 cloning.

And yes, I'm expecting Guile to be in this game.

You know, I seem to be more excited about the PSN/XBLA version of SF2 HD. Maybe I'm just crazy and this will grow on me.

@Candlejack: i agree MGS4 is near complete.... wheres the demo?

@BloggyMcBlogBlog: im asking myself the same question. if SSFIITHD doesnt come way before SF4, there's no point in coming at all. the novelty would wear off quick.

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 12:20:41 MST

At least when _I_ make this snide, "If it was for real gamers to actually play, it wouldn't be 2D meets 3D," comment, I'm being ironical.

DOH! and I miss this by one year. If this was last year, I could have traveled 10 miles to go to Makuhari Messe, now I'm stuck in the midwest, too. :(

A demo would be nice for us to download...quite simple. Brings MGS4 to mind. Didn't they have a perfectly fine "trial" (playable) version (demo) ready for TGS 07? Well, hopefully they'll launch a demo onto the market at some point.
