There have been rumblings that today (Thursday) would be a big news day for Street Fighter 4. Well It looks like 1up/EGM has got the scoop for todays news and the foreseeable future. Looks like Street Fighter will indeed be in 3D, however it boasts a very painted look. Here’s what 1up had to say about it.
Though the screenshot doesn’t answer this question outright, we can confirm that the game’s graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves, locations, and gameplay features, while the standard six button control scheme remains. Ryu and Ken return along with Chun-Li and Dhalsim, but beyond that the character roster is a mystery. And then there’s the issue of what platform(s) the game will end up on, which at this point Capcom is keeping close to its chest (if you search 1UP’s database, you’ll find listings for arcade, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but those are just guesses based on the graphical quality).
Thank god the game will retain it’s 2D roots. Hopefully we’ll get some actual gameplay movies soon, until then enjoy the first in-game screen.
HADOUKEN!!!
