EDIT: The Alpha series was a dumbed-down, broken piece of crap. Nice artwork though.
No, I'm not reading that thread. I'm not that brave.Quote:

It would be done totally stateside, either outsourced to a standalone dev or done by an inhouse studio. They probably do have the resources to make one, but the real question is do they see any financial reason to? People who refuse to adopt new games because they're hung up on the past won't be customers, people who don't generally play fighters won't be customers, people who occasionally play fighters may become customers, people who play fighting games as a serious hobby might become customers, yadda yadda yadda. This isn't like an Onimusha or Resident Evil game where they can totally rely on having it sell by brand/game story/graphics. As it stands right now, just about the only thing the game would have going for it is brand name recognition. And in todays gaming world, that's likely not going to go far.
\/-- chalk another one up for validating my posts in this thread :chunobi:
Sorry but 3D Street Fighter is not Street Fighter.
It has never been proven, as I point out every time this rumor is passed off as fact. If someone has proof, not some irrelevant blog entry, please show it. While you're at it please explain why Capcom USA would have to buy the Street Fighter rights.Quote:

And what a waste of art talent it would be to take Udon and put their stuff on polygons.
I'll ask my Capcom contact about it tomorrow, but it's just PR--wouldn't be surprised if they don't know anything about who holds the rights.Quote:

Not to mention, making art in 3D is a lot different than hand-drawing characters. I've never seen Udon do 3D art.
I believe this news. Alpha 3 is absolute trash.Quote:
SFA3 isn't too far off from SFA1 for worst Street Fighter ever made.
PS: Razor enjoys Soul Calibur 2 -- one of the most ridiculously broken fighters in recent years. His opinion on fighting games is officially moot.
Guard Impacts don't even work correctly for christs sake. 10 OUT OF 10 SAYS EGM!
The lack of love in this thread for SFA 2 is amazing.
What are you talking about? Everyone loves Street Fighter Alpha 2. If they don't, they either hate fighting games or just don't know any better.
Edit: See below. Seriously oO
Yeah, nobody mentioned Alpha 2 at all. Are you even reading this thread?
What's so hard to understand about my post? I'm just surprised there aren't people in this thread praising SFA 2, given that they're praising and bashing what they like/don't like, and that many here have professed love for the game in the past. In hindsight, I'd have put that as "I can't believe we're on page two and no one has praised SFA 2 yet", oh well.
