Well the next bit of SF4 info was recently released. The game appears to be a 2D fighter in a 3D world, so everyone can breath again. Confirmed characters to return include Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and Dhalsim. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for the return of Rolento!! Everyones guess at this point is that the game will be released on PS3 and Xbox360. Here is a pic courtesy of 1up.com.
Ryu’s man bulge has never looked better.

I am a giddy boy about this game.
There’s more here at Kotaku, as well.

SF4? When did SF3 get released? Oh wait. I faintly remember it now. Nah, not really. Hopefully it doesn’t suck like SF3 did (I’m awaiting the backlash on that one). The graphics are far superior on the newer platforms so I expect SF4 to be very visually appealing. And I’m thrilled that they decided to keep it a 2D game. There’s a place in this world for 3D fighters, Street Fighter should not be one of them. Hopefully they’ll come out with SF alpha 4 sometime. I think it’s just wishful thinking though.
I’d also like to point out that the online playability of these games will certainly make it interesting too. Let’s face it, we all live quite a distance from each other now. It will be nice playing online with you guys. The thing I’ll miss most from SF4 though is Mrs. Strock’s cooking. She knows I love her food and she was always happy to cook when I came over. You guys never realized this, but I used to come over to West 24th St. just to eat your mom’s food. I never questioned what it was or how it was made, I knew it would be good. I also liked to get barked at by Misty. I know she’s up in heaven now. Still barking at me.
Glad you like my mom’s cooking. Yes, there was a Street Fighter 3, and I actually liked it. It may have been no SF 2 Turbo, but it was still fun. Alas, there will probably never be an Alpha 4. Part 3 was supposed to be the final Alpha. That’s why it included all of the characters form Alpha and the regular series.
Here’s to playing online with all of you, minus my mother’s cooking.
