1UP SHOW - Street Fighter IV am here?

Hopefully there is some actual Secondary Animation like in 3rd Strike.
That was one of my favorite things from Third Strike.

This game, first impression, does not look hot to me.

It DOES look like an updated EX game. It may play like classic Street Fighter, but you can't say this isn't exactly what an EX game would look like if it used today's hardware. Just based on this clip (and I know it's extremely early) I don't see this game getting any of those 'old' SFII players back in the arcades. Based on the visuals at least. It's decent, but nothing spectacular.

This did not blow me away like SFIII did when it was first shown. How smooth and colorful it was. This looks like EX. And it pains me to say that. Maybe it will be the best playing SF ever, though, and I'll eat my words. Here's hoping.

So you're saying an EX game today would play like a proper Street Fighter game and not like an EX game... What's your point?

this isn't coming to arcades... in the us at least. Also, I don't get your updated EX game comment...
 
I specifically said it LOOKS like an EX game. If EX 4 came out, this is how it would look. The bulky characters, the 3D camera, everything. Yes, this plays on a 2D plane and it plays like classic SF, so it's NOT EX 4. But IMO, it's closer visually to an EX4 than a SFIII.

And who said it's not coming to arcades?
 
I'm just dissapointed in the animation. Way too stiff. There has yet to be any 3d game to capture the brilliant animation of well done high calibur 2D game like SF3 and maybe there never will.
 
So just for arguments sake, if SF EX 4 was made today, how would it look any different? It would certainly play different (which I've said 100 times), but visually, how would it be so different? The EX comparison is completely valid and far from outlandish.

So basically you're saying you hated the style of all previous SF games, right? Because they all looked like anime.

Anyway, to the videos...

The facial expressions are goofy as hell, they look stupid and combined with the super bulky character models make the whole thing look incredibly cartoony (I know SF was never suppposed to be realistic but this takes the cartoony-ness to a new level)

Also, the hadoken had a LOT of extra fluff and fire effects added to it. How much of that can actually hurt you? I looks like jumping over attacks like it will be much harder and it's larger and it isn't really distinguishable (like in the 2d games where it was basically a ball with a tail and was a distinct blue or black/orange/red whatever) which parts of it will actually cause damage
 
My first reaction to seeing the footage is:

Not totally blown away.

Not disappointed.

It's early and some of the animation looks un-tweaked and mechanical, but other parts look good to me. Some of the "drama shots" are actually great looking and remind me of the intentional "drama slowmo" from SF2 when somebody was hit with a fireball. While the facial expressions look goofy in still shots, many of them look great and dynamic in motion, as I had suspected, and gives some life to the 3D characters that too many 3D fighters lack.

The gameplay and physics do not look like SFEX to me at all, but proper SF.

There's great potential here; my faith has been restored at least that much. Now we see how it develops. This is going to be one hell of a scrutinized game over the course of its remaining dev cycle...
 
I think that looked pretty hot. I don't know, need to see some other characters etc. (longer matches as well), but looks nice. I like the parry thing in 3, so hope they'll replace it with something good.

LOL, SF2 looked nothing like anime. Then the Alpha shit came. I like anime, but keep it out of my SF.

EDIT: Btw if you're looking for 'goofy-ness' look at some still frames of Alpha games especially when Balrog and Blanka gets hit. Now that's expression straight out of Tom and Jerry. I like character deformation. It needs to be in for more "live" effect but in alpha it goes far beyond that and into retardome. That's why I prefer the classic shit over alpha.
 
I'm not bowled away, but I'll be among the first in line to pick this up when it is released.

In fact, for the most part, I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks... just wish they wouldn't use such a cartoony/ugly looking ryu and ken.

Bulky characters in EX and not SF3?

Or it could just be that people have differing opinions.

So, even after looking at those pictures, and then comparing them to SFIV, people see no connection at all? Are you freakin kidding me? Maybe it's just the look of any SF 3D game, but enlighten me as to how those pics are so different than what SFIV is becoming?

Again, how would an EX 4 NOT look like what we've seen? How would it be so different?
 
I don't like the look of it , character models are hideous and the animation is too blocky , i know its early but i don't see how they could pull it off

Yeah, it did. You just think all anime has one distinct style which is incredible ignorant...check out old 80's and early 90's anime, they looked just like SF2

the only similarity I see is that its 3d and uses the same characters, the art style is completely different, you stated that the bulkyness of the characters and all that jazz would be the same when in fact its not. The characters are far bulkier in IV than in EX and the gameplay is different.
 
Looks pretty good if you ask me. Character models can be tweaked until the game goes gold.

Look at how the main girl in Uncharted changed while the game was in development. If you have determent the polygon budget you can tweak the model for ages.

But what struck me the most is that the gameplay looked like SF2. This game will be awesome.
 
My edit was just to add more content, not to change the meaning of what I said. C'mon, people. Let's play nice. I know it's SF, but not everyone has to agree on it at this stage. Or ever.

And yes, they're bulkier now, because of the technology. That was my point. You don't think if EX kept going along it would look like this? Why the heck not? It's 3D SF with an American slant and rotating camera.

Funny that. I like 80's anime.

Show me some of it that looked similar to sf2 art style.

Even in the earliest Street fighter 2 design informtion (http://www.insertcredit.com/features/makingsf2/), there is still a distinct anime feel. I don't know why you think that it "looked nothing like anime", because based on the trends in Japanese animation around the time it was released, it was all fairly standard for the medium.
 
Holy shit. I liked what I saw.

Im not saying you have to, but you asked how would EX not look like this? Easy, the artstyle would be different, as well as the gameplay. The characters would also carry a much more slender look to them. The comparison is almost akin to stating the different art style between SF2 and SF3. Just because its 3d doesn't mean they would be the same.
 
Saying the game looks like ass is just ridiculous. What exactly is this being compared against. Theres not many 3d fighting games that look this good. I'm sure you can name all of them on 1 hand minus a finger.

Exactly.

BTW Some of those early Chun Li drawings look like Ranma. :lol
 
The animation is not as smooth as SFIII, the characthers are blockier (bulkier, same thing?), and the camera is moving. To me, all those things remind me of the EX series. It may not for you, but that's a difference of opinion. The art style in SFIV so far is very far removed from SFIII, which had silky smooth animation, japanese slant, and a more adult take on the universe. Saying it looks like an EX 4 also doesn't mean it's going to play like an EX 4. Two completely different things.

Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star...of course they didn't look EXACTLY the same but they looked similar in style...I mean, just look at the art of SF2. There's no way you can say it doesn't have an anime style

Im also 100% sure that the animation quality of SF3 when it was 10% complete was how it looks today. SfAlpha was on a 2d plane just like SF2 and even had the blue trailing effect for specials like SSF2 so i guess i understand your definition of where the similarities arise from.
 
I'm comparing what we saw today to SFIII. Capcom shouldn't have shown it if they didn't want people comparing it to past iterations of SF. Everything else is hypothetical, although I agree it can only get better at this stage.

And to be perfectly fair, we should go back and find some early vids of SFIII and see how close it was to the finished product. I bet it's not that far off.
