EGM complained of the leakage of the initial screenshots from that Brazilian blog last week, claiming it could hurt sales. Well they won't be happy with this because the entire exclusive coverage is now available directly for your viewing pleasure - and it's free. Introducing, Street Fighter 4 on the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
In the same interview at EGX 2019 recently, Capcom and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono responded to a fan question asking if there were any plans to bring the fourth or fifth entries in the series to the Nintendo Switch.
they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.
Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.
You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC
That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?
Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.
Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.
If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
Wonder how many lawyers from ZDNet it'll take to nail n4g by tomorrow.
I'll reserve judgment until I see it in motion.
but his bulge is sexy.
You know. Where's the girls at? o.o
Welp I don't have to buy an EGM now!! Thanks N4G, wish I could have approved this too hah. In any case, I'm both excited and apprehensive. Excited because I told everyone since 2001 that this was still coming and I was the only one who believed it, apprehensive because it still looks like SFEX to me. I'm hoping the gameplay kicks ass because I can't wait to save cancel. All will be instantly forgiven if Hideki Okugawa is doing the soundtrack again though.
I'm strongly disagreeing on the graphics thing though. Ono said GG is holding the torch for 2d graphics and their own remake will do good as well. GG's graphics are high res but the animation sucks, the same for the HD remake of Super Turbo since they're not adding any frames. 3rd Strike while fluid as hell was still missing frames from 2nd Impact, so a 2d SF with animation better than 2nd impact (yes it's possible) and sharper sprites than GG would totally own the 3d stuff they're pushing. Alas that's not happening so I gotta be happy with what I'm getting.
He said he'd love to make a new Marvel vs Capcom too, god i'd love that. Every since IGN posted that EVIL EVIL EVIL pic of MvC3 with Dante and Zero in it, I've been pining for it. No one else can do another Marvel fighting game BUT Capcom seeing as how they all sucked. Capcom needs to release MVC2 on PSN and Live with online play and work with the GGPO guys I'd live on there. Darkstalkers being revisted as well? Hah I wonder if they'll use that same damn Morrigan sprite :D
looking forward for this game.
