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."

Where?

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

Re:Where?

[Seumas]

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.

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.

Keep in mind

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.

Shouldn't it be more like Street Fighter 10?

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?

Speculation on Future SF4 Game Titles...

We need this sequel to help answer the many questions raised in Street Fighter 3.

3rd Strike released way too late for the consoles

[zhenga]

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.

a hardcore fans game maybe?

[scottind]

from what most fighting game forums say, speculation or whatnot:

capcom japan has release all the street fighter rights over to capcom usa. Now capcom is actually listening to the feedback of fans so they wont make a disaster of a game like Capcom fighting evolutions.

It's guranteed to be 2D. and it will be on Sega/Sammy Atomiswave hardware.

Re:Possible Title

[superpulpsicle]

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...
