Street Fighter V vs SFIV Comparison Screenshot Shows Difference In Character Model, Lighting & More

Take a look at this Street Fighter V vs Street Fighter IV comparison screenshot. SFV has has more detail and better lighting model as compared to Street Fighter IV

[ChronoJoe]

It does look quite different, looks like it's still the same engine though? Which is a little disappointing.

Shame they've stick with the odd body proportions however. I really dislike it.

[jonboi24]

I don't think it's the same engine. I don't even think it's running on Capcom' in-house engine. This may be Unreal 4.

[guitarded77]

Chun Li's face looked more animated and detailed in IV. She looks like a clay model in V.

[bloop]

I wish they dropped the cartoon look. I'd love to see an ultra realistic Street Fighter sometime.

[mikeslemonade]

With the lack of the X1 version hold this game back, I expected a bigger leap.

And I told you guys that you will start to see more games in development for PS4 and not the X1 because of the sales disparity. Sony didn't write them a blank check like many of you think.

[darthv72]

@mike... how different do you think the two platforms are? Its not like comparing the PS4 to the 2600.

The systems are closer than you think. And this game is likely to not take advantage of the PS4 like a more dedicated developer is able to do.

[NarooN]

Definitely not Unreal 4, most likely it's running on Capcom's new in-house Panta Rhei engine.

What's up with the bulky-steroid characters. Why they look so shiny/plastic

[Skizelli]

SFIV is a beautiful game when it's in action, but if you take a screenshot of it, it doesn't look like anything special. I'm sure SFV is no different.

[Griever]

Man... dem muscles and rips on Ryu's body! The game looks great though. The character models are improved and lightning the biggest improvement.

[ABizzel1]

Looks much closer to what they envisioned in the original reveal trailer.

Right on the money. I'll be sure to buy this on pc and run it in 4k!

Hmmm so basically no one like so now because it looks cartoony.... wow. It always looked that way. It sounds like you all wanted mortal kombat.

It sounds like capcom made a mistake. The cartoon lovers are on the wiiu and I believe the new sf5 needs particle effects and more virtual sweat or something. It actually seems like they just darkened the lighting system. Anyway I'm still going pc. I already have a fighting stick for it. Did anyone get a date for release?

Also this may have been money wasted by sony. They don't need any exclusives to win this gen. People just want them to win this gen, it's in the bag. Now hopefully there are no problems with this game.

[Akuma2K]

I love the new look of SF5, graphically it looks like night and day when compared to SF4 (Ryu and Chun Li character models looks more detailed and life like and the lighting looks much better too) which is what its supposed to look like in this new gen with the PS4 and its powerful hardware......you don't go backwards to last gen's graphics in a new next gen fighting game, it's time to move on to something new and SF5 is headed in the right direction.

[XtraTrstrL]

I'm pretty sure the main reason they did it, despite what they may tell us - is to save $$$ on redoing all the assets. I hope it doesn't bring back focus attacks and stuff. This will be the first time they make a whole new iteration of the game without majorly upgrading the visual style or changing it totally. SF1 to 2 was a major upgrade, 2 to 3 was insanely upgraded with animation and 3 to 4 was totally changed to 3D. 4 to 5 now seems like a slightly more refined version of 4.

I hope this isn't the mark of the beginning of SF getting milked to the point of turning to crap like almost every other older Capcom franchise that they managed to destroy despite each IP's immense popularity. I also hope Ono wasn't lying when he corrected that COO about the game not having p2w aspects ala SFxTekken gems. They really need to steer away from overdoing overpriced microtransactions with such a fighting game, keep it pure.

[XanderZane]

Looks just like last gens version. I'm not impressed at all. I expected a much bigger jump in model quality coming to the PS4. There's some more detailing, but the models, faces and bodies don't look much different from SFIV. I wonder have many versions we'll get this time around? Oh well. I'll be getting MKX first and wait on this game to see how many versions Capcom releases.

[3-4-5]

Chun Li looks less detailed by Ryu looks more realistic.

The old style had more detail kind of.

[Thomaticus]

I was really hoping that SFV was going to have sprites. I would love to see sfiv graphics with next green enhancements. Consisting other fighters have sprites it would have been nice to see a return.

[N4Flamers]

I like it overall except for those polish sausage fingers.

[showtimefolks]

Great I think this could help Sony sell a lot of consoles in japan especially. MS started all this big money buys up dlc and games for limits or permanent exclusive. Now that Sony is counting people have issue

Just in year one

Titanfall a huge game no matter how over hyped
Next year tomb raider

As gamers we get the best of both worlds, now both Sony and ms are going hard so that means as consumers we win. Just look at blackfriday and how cheap the bundles were compared to past years. Competition is a very healthy thing

[AznGaara]

Guilty Gear being a Sony exclusive also helps in Japan. However it being on PS3 too isn't as impactful as a next gen only Street Fighter.

[bjmartynhak]

For what I understood, MS helped with Titanfall.

I would guess that Tomb Raider and Street Fighter would come out even without the moneyhatting from MS and Sony. We, consumers, lose in this case.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

and no one remembers Sony doing all the time with PS1 and PS2

all memory magically disappeared

[theshredded]

I might not make it till Saturday from excessive FAP

[rajman]

Models look more like that of Marvel vs Capcom 3....which I dig, no more ott muscles and Chun Li looks much better now

[jspsc123]

they do have more of a comic book look to them. im so fn hype. hope they bring back parry/ get rid of focus

[Revengeance]

Those PS4 graphics look sick! I wonder if it'll be playable at PS Experience.

[timmyp53]

Lets be honest with ourselves here. There is nothing graphically "sick" about this. It's artistically interesting, sure, but "sick" nah. Not much you can do with that art style.

[timmyp53]

Double post.

[crashbash]

How do you know it's the ps4 version? It's releasing on pc as well.

[Tito08]

The difference won't be that huge anyways, they'll look the same, with a little advantage coming from PC, but this graphics don't look like something PS4 can't achieve, so this could be the PS4 version, just like they did with SF x T, they first demoed it on PS3, and wouldn't be surprised to know if this is the PS4 version, who knows.

[GearSkiN]

I'd hate for this not to come out on xbox

[Fishy Fingers]

Need to see more but the difference isn't what you'd expect from a jump in generation.

[shadowraiserx]

KI have the same problem ,even more in Season 2 designs.

[Max-Zorin]

Looks like people will be dealing with flowchart Kens and Ryus in 1080p.

[Sm00thNinja]

Not what I'd expect from a PS4 Exclusive. Maybe it looks better in motion. Would have loved if they had gone with the style of the original trailer if anyone remembers it was like a painting with water colors it was beautiful and fluid.

[NobleRed]

At least Ryu's character design has improved. He looked like Hulk in Street Fighter IV.

[WeirdShroom]

You're joking right? Ryu and Chun Li have the exact same build and design as SF4, just higher quality and more detail. He still looks like Hulk.

[SugarSoSweet]

agreed

[Knushwood Butt]

Yeah, never liked the way he looked in IV.

[jhoward585]

Hulkinkuu Tatsumaki, Hulkoryuken!

[kingPoS]

Jeez... could slap anymore chesse on the characters. I know SF is a bit cartoony, but couldn't they make it a tad less exaggerated.

Gateway MT6706 2008

[Gore-Content]

Damn, looks dope!

[JohnApocalypse]

Street Fight IV still looks good almost 6 years later

[SugarSoSweet]

Looks too similar to SFIV couldn't they achieve an awesome pseudo style Anime look or something like Guilty Gear X3rd more fresh and unique???

I mean it'd be awesome if they made thee graphics look like the Animated Movie

http://znculturecast.files....

[kenwonobi]

That looks encouraging. I think the background is even more of a change if you look closer. The background looks like there is gonna be much more going on.

[Audiggity]

Blah... and meh.

[Scatpants]

I would have like to see a bigger change in art style. They might as well call this one SF IV Super Duper Ultra Turbo Extreme Serious editon.

[cutthroatslim]

(•_•)>⌐■-■

(⌐■_■)

[StormLegend]

it looks so good!

[Segata]

Just wait 6 months for Super Street Fighter V on every device except Wii U. (I like Wii U but it's the hard truth)

[Jag-T1000]

I will wait for the Ultra Arcade Mega Super-Dupper Street Fighter 5 Deluxe Edition.

[optimus]

i wish they would reintroduce the ex series instead.

[NerdStar7]

Barely any difference.

[OldDude]

PC and 4k for me. Though to be honest I am kind of tired of SF and the 19 variations of each version. Good move on Sony's part though, lets see what Phil counters with.

[Geekman]

My only complaint is that Chun Li looks so much more serious in SFV. I like her more laid back exoression from SFIV more.

Oh well. At least her butt isnt gonna shrink.

[StormLegend]

I so can't wait for this!!!

[WheatBread]

I like the new look, it's much better than SF4's goofy art style.
