Street Fighter IV to play 2D, be 3D, and have Chun-Li!
When news broke of Street Fighter IV, the entire gaming world collectively went mad with joy. Ever since the debut video, showing a highly-styled fight between Street Fighter mainstays Ryu and Ken (aka blonde Ryu), information on the game has been very limited. By “very limited”, I mean we haven’t heard a damn thing.
Until now.
In a press release issued by Capcom, it’s been revealed that four classic Street Fighter characters will be returning for chapter four. In addition to Ryu and Ken, Chun-Li (sexual fantasy #6) and Dhalism (sexual fantasy #17,914) have been confirmed to be in SF4.
The biggest news, however, is not in who is in the game. It’s been revealed that Street Fighter IV will have characters and environments rendered in 3D, while the gameplay will remain 2D. In other words — everybody will be happy.
CAPCOM® KICKS OFF THE NEXT GENERATION OF FIGHTING GAMES WITH STREET FIGHTERTM IV
The Next Round of the Definitive Fighting Game Experience Combines 3D Graphics with Classic Street Fighter Feel
Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today officially announced development of Street Fighter™ IV, the next iteration of the genre-establishing fighting game series. This marks the first new entry announced in nearly eight years, following the acclaimed Street Fighter III Third Strike.
In its amazing twenty year history, Street Fighter has revolutionized the fighting genre and created a global legacy like no other. Few details have been released on the new game, outside of a heart-pounding preview trailer that set the gaming community on fire when it was released in October on the official website, StreetFighterWorld.com.
Capcom is proud to announce the return of four classic “World Warriors” in Street Fighter IV: returning favorites Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim. The characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D computer graphics (CG), while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. The traditional six-button controls for the game will return, with a host of new special moves and features integrated into the input system. Mixing tried-and-true classic moves and techniques with all-new, never-before-seen gameplay systems, Street Fighter 4 brings a brand new fighting game to fans the world over.
Everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in arcades, living rooms and dormitories all over the world has been brought to bear here, with even more surprises. With the inclusion of Capcom’s latest advancements in new generation technology, Street Fighter IV promises to deliver an extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts.
