Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4

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."

Bout time

Actually, we've been waiting for this for a while. Some reports say it that the only returing character will be Ryu. Hopefully the recent interest in Third Strike will create a large player base for this game. Can't wait.

Sprites please!

I hope they make it 2D, as the only good 3D fighter is Smash Bros Melee, and it is not in the same style as SF.

Namco and Sega fanboys, your "fighting games" are not up to snuff to be compared with Capcom, Snk or Nintendo, so shut up.

3rd Strike released way too late for the consoles

I remember playing SFIII:Third Strike on a holiday for the first time on an arcade machine when I was little.

I only had the chance to play it once, but I was amazed by the fast framerate and the graphics I saw and the funky music and sound I heard on that machine. It was really a improvement over the older Street Fighters and other 2d fighting games that time.
Too bad they never had this game near my local arcade halls. :(

Since ever that time, I wanted to expierence it on my Playstation1 but it wasnt released for any consoles yet, so I bought SF3 Alpha instead when it came out, which was nice too but different than 3rd Strike and the long loading times really sucked the fun out of it.

Then 3rd Strike was released for the Dreamcast launch, but I bought a PS2 instead. It literally took Capcom alot of years but they finally managed to release it for the PS2 and Xbox as well now..

So I bought the Xbox version, but when I played it it was nothing like the arcade expierence I used to remember :(
Probably because they were like 6 years too late releasing it!! Now i'm more into Virtua Fighter 4.
