SF IV is 2D!

Posted by MrWizard On December - 6 - 2007

SF4!

From 1up.com

Numbers are supposed to be impressive, right? Well, it’s been 10 years, two hardware generations, and about seventeen thousand rumors since the last pure number Street Fighter came around. And today we have the first ever official details on Street Fighter IV.

We don’t blame you if your eyes have already skipped straight to the screenshot on the page (yes, that’s from the game engine). Take your time. But we’ve got some information as well, so the rest of this is probably worth reading when you get a chance.

Though the screenshot doesn’t answer this question outright, we can confirm that the game’s graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves, locations, and gameplay features, while the standard six button control scheme remains. Ryu and Ken return along with Chun-Li and Dhalsim, but beyond that the character roster is a mystery. And then there’s the issue of what platform(s) the game will end up on, which at this point Capcom is keeping close to its chest (if you search 1UP’s database, you’ll find listings for arcade, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but those are just guesses based on the graphical quality).

 Alot more information can be found in the January 2008 issue of EGM magazine just hitting the stands in the coming days.

    [...] gameplay looks nice, producers looks competent, good winds might be upon street fighter. But… 3D?! SFIV could be a symbol of how 2D games could still live on as an artistic option, something like [...]
