November 26th, 2007 by supadupagama

In this Street Fighter IV trailer analysis there is only one question: Is the fighting game 2D or 3D? The teaser fight between Ken and Ryu doesn’t reveal what platforms the game will appear on, nor when it will be released.

There are clues everywhere, if you know where to look…

Which dimension do you think it is?

Street Fighter 4 announced! Video teaser trailer shows stylish fight between Ryu and Ken

October 17th, 2007 by astrotriforce

Street Fighter IV logoStreet Fighter IV has finally been confirmed as in development by Capcom at their Gamer’s Day event in London today. For the last week or so a countdown timer has been ticking on Capcom’s web-site, telling visitors to “Prepare Yourself” and this morning the countdown finally ticked away and was replaced with a brand-new teaser trailer for the 4th game in the world-famous Street Fighter franchise. This comes only an astounding TEN YEARS after the last numbered game in the series, Street Fighter III: The New Generation, which was originally released in Japanese arcades in 1997. The franchise has since seen an innumerable amount of remakes, compilations, upgrades and spin-offs, but not until today did we finally see the next direct sequel.

No details on the game have been revealed, including what platforms it will be released on or when we’ll get to see some actual gameplay footage, but what was shown in the teaser is an extremely stylish and awesome fight between series standbys Ken and Ryu. The trailer looks to me to be hand-drawn animation (though in 3D) and it shows the fighters exchanging blows from their repertoire of infamous attacks, from Dragon Punches to Hurricane Kicks, with stylish splashes of blood hitting the screen every now and then. The trailer ends on a high-note as Ryu charges his fireball which bathes the screen in white as the Street Fighter IV logo splashes across the screen with the words “Prepare Yourself”. Give it a look!
