Although the stages pivot slightly in 3D (if only to adhere to the law of physics and vanishing points), the action is entirely 2D. No moving in and out of the foreground, no knocking anyone off of ledges or cliffs. Just glorious details rendered faithfully in rich, highly-animated 3D. Ono promises that classic stages will be reinvented to the delight of long-time fans. Stages such as Chun-Li's 'bicycle' stage will surprise players with its level of detail -- while not affecting gameplay, various objects in the background will be interactive or affected on some level. Passing fireballs may roast chickens or shatter barrels in their wake.

:lol

 

[bumpkin]

Mmm... Video... But Friday is so far away!

 

[Cheeto]

Passing fireballs may roast chickens

This is next gen.

 

[Vic]

can't wait!

 

[rollingstart]

there is either going to be massive love for this footage, or a huge wave of pure hate.

like, it really better look amazing.

 

[Threi]

DAY ONE.

It seems they wanter to go with a lighter, more comical style. I think it will be a fresh change from fighters (and a lot of games in general) that take themselves too seriously.

 

[sevenchaos]

Yay.

 

[Dali]

This is all-new tech designed specifically for SFIV, with an eye toward using it for possible future revivals of old 2D fighting franchises, like Darkstalkers (Morrigan could use a serious facelift after all). Of course, it all depends on how well SFIV is received by the gaming public, but expectations are high for the game, and rightfully so.

I wonder if this is confirmed from Ono and the developers or if he is just regurgitating forum speculation.

 

[Clipjoint]

Can't wait.

 

[Aeris130]

Hmm, they didn't mention actual gameplay, but whatever. Friday-day cannot be here soon enough. I can't help but feel they're doing some really awesome things with the Saving- and Revenge system.

Edit: Shit in a barrel, friday is only two days from now. Unleash the fjury!

 

[Kaako]

This Friday will be glorious. ^_^
More SF IV info is always welcome and better yet would be some footage.

 

[Fuu]

I can't wait for the video.

 

[Robert R1]

Nexgen starts when Capcom says it does!

 

[Splatt]

This is next gen.

There is a 300 joke somewhere in here.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

videos on friday? ono says in this article the game is 1-2% complete?

this is like soul calibur 4 all over again.

 

[CO_Andy]

Destructible background objects is what's missing in fighters these days.

 

[Elbrain]

Can't wait to see if this game delivers I liked some of the stuff they talked on the Egm Issue but still I need to see in motion cause those pics killed almost any hope I had for this game.

 

[Yoboman]

I hope it doesn't look too early, or we'll see a firestorm of bitching

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I can't fucking wait.

 

[Vic]

The video will most likely show what they were trying to explain about the game in the latest interviews.

 

[Saoh]

I hope it doesn't look too early, or we'll see a firestorm of bitching

or?

OR?

 

[Elbrain]

I hope it doesn't look too early, or we'll see a firestorm of bitching

Dude there will be bitching either way and its either going to be graphics, gameplay, characters, physics! Anything man come now.

 

[Brandon F]

Everyone get ready for Smash Bros.-esque Items in the mix!

 

[Green Shinobi]

Another fighting game for alkaline black to suck at.

 

[Tellaerin]

I wonder if this is confirmed from Ono and the developers or if he is just regurgitating forum speculation.

From the article in the January EGM:

We asked Ono if he'd like to try reinventing any of the other fighting franchises languishing in Capcom's stable. As it turns out, he sure does: 'Personally, I'd love to make a new Marvel vs. Capcom, and I'd also like to see the triumphant return of Darkstalkers to a new generation of technology. It would be an interesting challenge with Darkstalkers, because in the old games you'd see a lot of really interesting animations as characters would morph into different forms. That would be tricky to do with this 3D engine, but not impossible. In two or three years, if I got the chance to resurrect that series, I'd like to shock Hollywood with how good the graphics would look.'

 

[Fuu]

I for one can't wait for the bitching, the thread with the first pics was hilarious.

And a new Darkstalkers for the win!

 

[FFChris]

SFIV's action is greased lightning. Forward jumps to low sweeps to backflips into Hurricane Kicks all take place at lightning-fast speeds which reward quick reflexes with quick results.While we may have all grown accustomed to the pace infused in 3D fighters like Virtua Fighter 5, Tekken 5 and Dead or Alive 4, Street Fighter IV blows them all away for sheer in-your-face ferocity. Confined to a limited plane, combatants in SFIV have a finite area in which to utilize their arsenal, but these battles are ever so beautiful to witness.

That's my favorite paragraph of the preview. Roll on Friday!

Spoiler

And the Gaf bitching that'll come with it.

 

[Aeris130]

We're not sure who will make the cut, but most of the classic Street Fighter II cast will return.

Most that's like, almost everyone. Right?

 

[Dali]

From the article in the January EGM:

Thanks. So when we were joking about buying SFIV if you want a new Darkstalkers or Rival Schools 2, that might actually turn out to be true.

 

[gray_fox224]

finally

 

[UnholySpectacle]

This better look smooth or expect a metric shitload of bitching.

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

I'm very happy with getting a second Christmas. Capcom = Best third party ever? I do think so.

 

[Zombie James]

The more info that gets out, the more disappointed I get. At this rate, I think i'll be crying in the fetal position on Friday.

They are deserving this title more and more. Capgod indeed.

The animation will make or break the game for me .

Why are 1up's screenshots never in HD and always heavily compressed?

Damn son. Don't forget Tekken 6 and possibly DOA5.

EDIT: Tekken says Hi

 

[Greatness Gone]

Damn son. Don't forget Tekken 6 and possibly DOA5.

There is no way in hell that DOA5 is coming in 2008, and the Tekken series seems like the same old shit with every new entry.

 

[Yoshichan]

This sounds just like another casual who just doesn't know what to look at.

 

[LowParry]

You've pretty much summed up the entire fighting franchises of how they work. Add a few moves, up the graphics, add a few new characters. Wash, rince, repeat. Savvy?

oh man....and you guys are gonna be the ones bitching to high hell about these SFIV vids. facepalm.

Not really. I'm pretty damn happy enough that they're even making the game at all.

THE CAKE IS A LIE.

Yeah , but i'm not talking about decent animation , i'm talking about animation that blows you away out of your seat , like what Street fighter 3 animation was for 2D fighters .
