It'll have udon made sprites.
This would be great news if it were true, but there have been SF4 rumors for years now. And even if there were, I have no faith in Capcom and fighting games anymore.
Also, there was a focus group about a year ago that asked if we were interested in:
1) Cel-shaded fighters
2) Cameos from characters of other series
3) At all interested in having movie stars/celebrities make cameos in fighting games.
John Choi attended this, and apparently to this day no actual concrete evidence is out there to support they are ever going to make another SF again.
Enjoy 3S/CvS2. It's the best we're going to get from Capcom.
wow the bullshit detector just exploded
No, this is real. Shinkiro and one of the other guys was at the Udon booth, along with some Capcom reps, and they had a panel where the CapUSA guys were like "yeah, we didn't forget about Street Fighter when we bought the rights. If you have any ideas post them on Shoryuken.com."Quote:

They did the endings for Cacpom Fighting Evolution.
Argh. Street Fighter EX4 is probably what is really coming if we get anything. If that's so, then may they kill it. Selling Street Fighter off to SNK Playmore would've been better (or at least less bad) than giving it to the fools who made Final Fight Revenge.
An SFIII collection would be good, but I think we need Warzard as a special bonus to make the deal more interesting.
If a celebrity was in a fighting game, it'd be fine if they were strictly the announcer, calling out "Round 1... FIGHT!", "Time Over", and maybe a few SFA3 style comments. For ingame characters, hire people like Scott McCullough (Wild Dog in Time Crisis), Dennis Falt (Crisis Zone's Tiger), Barry Gjerde, and Japanese voice actors.
I stand by my original statement
and on the off chance this is actually real, I wouldn't expect anything worthwhile to be under the hood of SF4 -- look at CFJ for christ sake. Capcom just doesn't care about the franchise enough to put any decent amount of work into it, because it won't generate the kind of revenues they want.
edit again: LOL HARD if they're looking for ideas on SHORYUKEN.COM of all sites. I'm sorry but no good can come of using that place as a thinktank for your new game. :(

I'm quite sure SF4 is real - CapUSA didn't acquire the rights so they could go ahead and not make a game with them. I'll also be pretty surprised if they crap all over the series with their barbarian western ways. The people involved are pretty hardcore into the game, and they know how anal their fanbase is, and that they won't accept the game if they seriously fuck with anything. I'm guessing 99% chance they go cel-shaded rather than traditional 3D models. I'm also guessing there'll be some kind of 3D movement along axes like VF4, which wouldn't mess with the way the fighting system works.
So it would be a cel shaded KOF:MI? Ehh, no thanks. And I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they try to add something innovative and fall flat on their faces - it's hard to innovate when practically everything that can be done has already been done. As for making it a 3D/2.5D cel shaded game: don't forget that A LOT of SF purists won't play this on the mere fact that it has a Z axis.
Re: CFJ:
The only beef I have with CFJ is the fact that it's quite literally MUGEN programmed for consoles. They really didn't even attempt to put anything new & worthwhile in, all they've done is cannibalized old games and frankensteined them together into the biggest waste of $40 I've ever not taken.
(just to clarify, I would probably play this if it was 3d/2.5d, because I'm not all that picky about how many axis a game has -- also I'm a big VF nut so that plays in my favour.)
What color is the sky in Candy Land? Third Strike is, at worst, the second best fighter out there, depending on whether you prefer SNK or Capcom gameplay.Quote:

If the game said SF4 on it and was solid, they'd take to it. There aren't too many VF fans who consider their game soft or screwed up because it has a z-axis.Quote:

I thought they beefed up the feel of the fighting, but yeah, I didn't feel any pressing need to buy it, so I didn't. If they were smart, they'd have staggered its release further from SFAC so somebody may have cared.Quote:
