Action Figures Are Go

January 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

I know I’m about two weeks late to the party here, but am I the only person who doesn’t care for the art in the new gameplay footage for SFIV? I mean, just look at that first frame of Ryu. He looks…retarded. Or at least cross-eyed. I know I’ve always said it’s all about the gameplay, and it still is, but I just don’t feel that what I’ve seen looks as good as my impressions/memories of SFIII or Alpha Three.

The gameplay looks like it’s right on, but Street Fighter has always been about traditional art and what you can do with it. The zip blurs in SFIII are gorgeous, and no matter how many particles are thrown out in this new engine, it’s just not going to be the same.

I don’t know, I guess I just find it odd that Capcom is doing both an HD upgrade to SFIITurbo and creating all new assets for SFIV in 3D. It seems pointless to make the game 3D but then force it to be 2D so it plays the same. I’d much rather have the sprites, but I guess I’m just going to have to get used to it.
