...Stinger claimed an 80% accuracy rate last year, hopefully we actually see most of what's mentioned here.

[MoxManiac]

I will fucking do cartwheels of fucking joy if SF4 is real.

[sprsk]

:O

edit: Beatmania IIDX12: Happy Sky (System 572) :OOOOOOOOO

[SiegfriedFM]

I will... no, I can't imagine what I'll do. It's been nine fucking years since I first spotted those grainy SF3 shots in magazines.

[C- Warrior]

Street Fighter IV--make it happen Capcom, make it happen.

[neptunes]

-Street Fighter 4...

!

...(AtomisWave)

why atomiswave though?

[saelz8]

Gimme VF5!

(If SF4 is a 3D fighter - GAF am cry?)

Dont let us down capcom, show us what you got!

[jarrod]

AtomisWave is an interesting choice, given the sudden glut of 2D fighters and rumors that Sega Sammy's dropping it in favor of Aurora ... will Sega screw Capcom yet again?

[TAJ]

Who else thinks they STILL won't redo the sprites? (lazy fuckers...) Bets?
I wanted SF4 in HD, but somehow I think even full 640X480 is too much to hope for from Capcom.

[dog$]

Atomiswave seems a very odd choice if SF4 is in fact coming.

IIDX Happy Sky uses System 572? Is this a proprietary Konami adaptation of 246 or something? I know they used a "System 573" for some of their older stuff... and last I heard, all IIDX from 9th up used a proprietary WinXP set up of some sort.

[captmcblack]

Oh my God.

I don't even know what I'll feel if SF4 turns out to be true.

Who would possibly be behind it, anyway? Would it be 2D still?

[EDIT: Who's Stinger, BTW?]

[Lyte Edge]

If the game comes out on Atomiswave, then Street Fighter 4 will definitely be 2D. Here's hoping for Guilty Gear X-style high res sprites and Street Fighter 3 quality animation!

-NeoGeo Battle Coliseum (AtomisWave) SNK Playmore -Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi (AtomisWave) SNK Playmore -Fist of the North Star (AtomisWave) Arc System Works -Virtua Fighter 5 (LindBergh) -Tekken 5.1 (System 258) -Street Fighter 4 (AtomisWave) <--HOLY SHIT

Yeah, fighting games are BACK. I hope SF4 finally shows up; it's been too long since we saw an original fighting game from Capcom.

[Zaptruder]

So... SF4 won't be hi-res celshaded graphics... damn... can they at least get the guy @ mitsumasa as an artist?

[Gek54]

Yeah, fighting games are BACK. I hope SF4 finally shows up; it's been too long since we saw an original fighting game from Capcom.

SF4 .....original fighting game


????

[ManaByte]

SF4 with high-res 2D sprites...the saviour of arcades around the world.

[Lyte Edge]

SF4 .....original fighting game ????

Right, SF3 was an original fighting game in the sense that they started over and ditched the entire cast, keeping Ryu and Ken only. They added new game play mechanics and all the sprites were brand new.

I would expect Street Fighter 4 to be the same way. Capcom's past fighting games over the last 5-6 years have just been rehashes or crossover fighters with no new characters. The last time we saw new characters in a Capcom game were Ruby Heart and Amingo in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (2000), and more recently, ONE new character in the form of Ingrid in the super-rehash-fest known as Capcom Fighting Evolution.

[Wario64]

OMG STREET FIGHTER 4

*insert Isamu-like comment here

[Tamanon]

Wow....SF4 will rock if true, been waiting forever:)

[Drakken]

Stinger? Would someone mind explaining?

[drohne]

i'm now hopelessly bad at fighting games, but i still want to see some NEW FUCKING SPRITES. atomiswave ensures that it won't be cel shaded (thank fuck), but there's still the possibility that it'll use recycled sprites on top of hideos polygonal backgrounds. and what about those weird rumors that capcom usa is now in charge of the sf franchise? oh well -- it might not even be true.

[TheJollyCorner]

I'd love to see some updated looks for classic SF2 characters- even though it's not likely (following Lyte Edge's philosophy)

[G-Fex]

when is this JAMMA?

[Red Scarlet]

The general consensus is that people still want a 2-d, sprite based game for SF4, right?

[Kaijima]

Come on Capcom.

Come on. You can do it. Hit one outta da park.


Come on baby.

[Tain]

Atomiswave seems a very odd choice if SF4 is in fact coming. IIDX Happy Sky uses System 572? Is this a proprietary Konami adaptation of 246 or something? I know they used a "System 573" for some of their older stuff... and last I heard, all IIDX from 9th up used a proprietary WinXP set up of some sort.

Yeah, I'm curious about this, myself. System 573 is, like, DDR and GuitarFreaks/DM stuff, so it's either a really odd name or a typo.

Also, did nobody get the notice that SF4 was in development? It's kinda shocking to hear something even more solid, but this isn't a gigantic surprise.

Doesn't mean I'm not excited, though.

[jaundicejuice]

Street Fighter 4? Part of me wants to jump for joy, but then in rolls the cynic.

[xexex]

Stinger reported to us that Daytona USA 3 (Arcade) and Daytona LIVE (Xbox) was on the way, yet it never happened. I will therefore not believe anything they have to say about Street Fighter 4 until I see it happen

[Ironclad]

If the SF4 comment is true, I will be very, very happy.

Another Cave shooter, nice.

[Kleegamefan]

OH FU<K.....SF4!!!

[∀ Narayan]

Where the fuck is Sammy Vs. Capcom? Or a new DarkStalkers?

Man. . . SF4 would be nice, but I want those, too! Can't have everything, unfortunately.

[jett]

The chances of this thing happening are minimal, I just don't believe this shit. And if it happens I hope to God it happens on better hardware than atomisbarf.

[etiolate]

SF4 and Mario Kart GP would give JAMMA as many interesting games as TGS.

[Geek]

Capcom -Street Fighter 4 (AtomisWave)

*Stocks up on Kleenex for massive FAPing or am crying.*

Cave -Shoot’em-up X (Proprietary Hardware)

Bring it. BRING. IT.

[tetsuoxb]

Stinger reported to us that Daytona USA 3 (Arcade) and Daytona LIVE (Xbox) was on the way, yet it never happened. I will therefore not believe anything they have to say about Street Fighter 4 until I see it happen

Quoted for truth. I believe quite a few titles on that list are fake.

[Hellraizah]

SF4 featuring 5 buttons ????

[blackadde]

WHAT

[Zeo]

I'd love Nintendo to just bring us a GC arcade port of that new Mario Kart game in time for Christmas. :\

[puck1337]

Whatever system gets SF4 first sells me a console.

[Hellraizah]

WHAT

If I remember correctly, the Atomiswave panel only has 5 buttons.

[blackadde]

Oh .. well, yes that's true. It was more of a general OMG to the whole thing. :)

[Shaheed79]

Sheeeeeeeiiiiiiit

We'll see.

[Anyanka]

I'll believe it when I see it. Whateve happened to Capcom vs. Sammy?

[C- Warrior]

Who cares if they update the sprites. Fuck, it's all about the balance, cancelability in the moves, variety, and most importantly the stage design and music.

Online play is also a must.

Seriously, high res sprites, man--when you're playing SF you're not looking at the sprites you're using the "Force" man--the "force" --it's all about seeing the frames, not the sprite detail.

>.>

[Tain]

Who cares if they update the sprites. Fuck, it's all about the balance, cancelability in the moves, variety, and most importantly the stage design and music.

I'd play the game even if they recycled sprites, but I'll be damned if I didn't bitch about it non-stop. It's 2005. People use their eyes to see videogames. Show us some effort.

[Anyanka]

I don't care what sprites they use as long as it's consistent. I hate this mix of art where one character will be Alpha style and one from III with a background that doesn't match either. Looks like an awful MUGEN game.

[drohne]

wait, wasn't dk jungle fever revealed to be some sort of prize redemption contraption rather than a videogame? why would it be on triforce? i'm skeptical!

[anotheriori]

I'll believe it when I see it. Whateve happened to Capcom vs. Sammy?

probably died when okamoto and other capcom dev leads left.

speaking of which.. who's the talent behind this installment? if CFJ is their last effort and SVC/KOF2001 is indicative of a WIP after a decent chunk of talent has left.. i fear what the outcome is.

[Date of Lies]

Right, SF3 was an original fighting game in the sense that they started over and ditched the entire cast, keeping Ryu and Ken only.

and Chun Li and Akuma, but hey who's counting?

[blackadde]

Akuma showed up in 2i and Chun in 3s.

[Lazy8s]

Dreamcast hardware is good for 2D.
