Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 62

Gamespot reports that Capcom is likely to unveil a new Street Fighter title later this week. From the article: "Capcom has added some fuel to that fire today with the announcement that it will indeed be showing off a new arcade fighting game at the [Amusement Machine] show. The company made no mention as to whether the game would be an installment of an existing franchise or a new product altogether. Regardless, the new fighting game will only be presented in video format, meaning it's most likely to be quite early in development."

    So exactly where are they going to put the Street Fighter 4 arcade game? Are there actually any arcades left?

    That back in the day Capcom unveiled a new street fighter...and it was Street Fighter: The Movie. Just because it's Street Fighter doesn't mean it'll be good.

    Although I'm pretty sure it will be.

    I mean, how many variations have they had of each "sequel"?

    Do we really need another version of the old Street Fighter series?

    Personally, I'd rather see them get a new license to some other characters to let us play with.

    Since they already did Marvel, how about DC or maybe Image comic's characters?

    Also, it would be neat if they licensed some Anime characters to put in a megamix or sorts.

    DBZ vs Capcom anyone?

    The only arcade I've seen in the last ten years is Dave and Busters - and I don't think that should even qualify. The last time I went to a Dave and Busters, 90% of the games were giant screens with a gun (to shoot) and a pedal (to duck) and they were all variations of each other. You're a cop. You're killing zombies. You're killing robots. You're killing mobsters. Whatever. Then you have a few other games nobody has really ever heard of...

    I was thoroughly unimpressed and wondered where all the fighting games and stuff were. I haven't been back. Plus, in my mind, an arcade should be all ages. Otherwise it's not so much an arcade anymore. Though - granted - it's nice to have a mostly adult place and not have to compete with eight year old kids for a joystick.

    Are there any more Games People Play or Wunderlands? I remember paying $4 for admittance to Games People Play and then playing games until they closed. Two of us would go in and stay for twelve hours. And you couldn't get any food or drinks. You had a crappy water fountain in the back to drink from. If you left to get food or something, you'd have to pay another $4... So by the end of the night, you were groggy, exhausted, sick, dry-mouthed, dizzy and starving.

    And Wunderland was awesome because, even though you had to pay per-game, it was only a fricking nickel.

    I told you people to stop buying EA games. Marvel granted EA the exclusive rights as worldwide licensing agent Marvel heroes product as of early 2004. To sum it up, you'll never see another Marvel vs Capcom title ever again.

    Want to here something top secret? EA lawyers are busy trying to license all genuine military weapons manufactured in the US. There might not be any more FPS with real guns besides the Battlefield series in the future. Sounds crazy now, but watch...

Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
