Street Fighter 4 Gameplay Video

posted 28 December 2007, Friday

Here is the future of Street Fighter in all its glory! Yes folks, instead of a beautiful 2D fighting masterpiece that everyone and their momma really wanted Capcom has seen fit to deliver a steaming pile of 3D shit. The most amazing part is that they say they are trying extra hard to capture the feel of SF2, but if they wanted to do that why the hell didn't they just make a 2D game?

Game developers are human, and so they too can make really, really stupid decisions. Sadly this is one of them. No one wanted a 3D Street Fighter. No one wanted this craptacularly ugly art style. No one wanted cinematic camera views. Yet we got them. Maybe Capcom will get the message when the game doesn't sell to the SF faithful (the only people who play SF anymore), who they just dismissed in one fell swoop.

Wow, not only has next to no one played this, but this is the very first video of SF4, in all of its obviously unfinished glory, and theres already some guy on the internet complaining.

Guess what? When the game does get finished it will still be a crappy 3D Street Fighter game that no one really wanted with deformed characters and little, if any, of the gameplay that made the 2D fighters what they are.

This game features 3D graphics but the game play itself is 2D.

That being said, I'd like to see another one in the art direction of Street Fighter III: Third Strike instead. That was a beautiful 2D game that had a unique visual style. The Street Fighter EX technically did this whole "3D graphics with 2D game play" thing before IV.
