Well this was posted sometime last night on the CAPCOM bbs

 

I'll start with the basic answer that will diffuse the majority of questions here:

 

We've announced Street Fighter 4 to let everyone know it's in development. We aren't really providing any more information than that at this time, but over the coming months, you'll see bits and pieces come to light. Platforms especially aren't being discussed.

 

While CUSA owns the rights to Street Fighter, we have contracted Capcom Japan to handle its development (we felt they would, by far, do the best job with the title).

 

The game is further along in development than probably most of you think, but as we've stated, it's still quite a ways off. Again, the announcement was just to get it on everyone's radar, nothing more.

 

Beyond that no one at Capcom will speak about characters returning, character count, platforms, features, 2D or 3D or 2.5D, whether the trailer is representative of gameplay/character design/visual targets, arcade or not, online features, downloadable strategy, where it fits in the canon, etc.

 

All of that will be revealed over time... the next bits will be revealed a bit later this year.

 

Great.

At least the year is almost up

ETA for the game is Late 2008 or Early 2009. Capcom of Japan is going with a whole new team since Capcom USA commissioned CoJ themselves to do it with some possibly old members returning that are still with CoJ.

Seems to be good news.. Did the USA team ever put out a decent SF or equivalent games?

[Wizard]

USA Team doesn't exist anymore, but they did put out FF Revenge, which was horrible apparently (it doesn't run on mame, so I can't judge for myself, and I don't own it for SAT).

If you are talking about the 3D fighting game called FInal Fight, I did play it for the brief time it is in our arcades. And yes, it is beyond horrible. Graphics that is worse than SF EX1, controls that are not very responsive and lame bgm. Yeah, I only waste one coin for it using Haggar (who play like Zangief or Darun)

and that's it.

The fighting looks good, Sven is a sickkent and I suddenly don't think SF4 is going to be messed up anymore.

 

This calls for a drink.

You know what's funny, I was so drunk after last night's hockey game, the moment I saw this, I took another shot of vodka.

[Guest veristic]

Yeah, i'm expecting 3D cel-shading to look like anime. The same route KoF is going.

Were you drinking alone?

Oh OK, I was about to say you don't want to get into the habit of drinking alone.

I'm past that, I used do that all the time :V
