I found Charlie’s opening quote pretty interesting. It’s very similar to his dialogue with Guile in Alpha 3, where he tells Guile that he’ll “dispose of him” if he gets in his way. With that, I believe Charlie isn’t under any sort of mind control. More like he’s seeking revenge and he’s not to be fucked with by anyone.
Look like after SFA he was saved in the SIN (correct name? SF4 ones) labs, witch can explan why they replaced damaged body parts with Seth-like pieces and probably why Abel(that was in same labs) know him
When it gets in the way of gritty grimdark “realism” it is. I like the new graphical style, it makes them look more like vinyl standees and adds a more energetic aesthetic in addition to the improved visual fidelity against backgrounds. Street Fighter shouldn’t be a serious game, let MKX have the dark colour palette since it fits better and the MK storyline is pretty much satire of serious games by now.
Looks like they snipped some bump mapping and character reflections. Possibly to reclaim frame rate?
Kinda makes sense. It’s possible we’ll see some effects injected back into the game once they start optimising, or potentially relegated to optional settings for high-end PCs.
Tbh i usually(almost ever) prefer japanese style, and hated the whole past (hopefully) gen trend of gritty grimdark “realism” bullshit
To make an example i hate the fucking EVERYTHING of MK/KI art direction
But SFV art direction was’nt that, or at least was way more that that
Make it less dark and more cromatic lively? Fuck yeah, you have my vote
But what they done have little to do with it
What they done is the marketing reply to the hordes of blind bitches whining about it being “SF4 2.0” and now it’s actually CLOSER to sf4 lol
First art direction was far from flawless but anybody that have eyes can see it was very distinctive and strong, now they killed big part of it in favor of a SF4xMvC3 kind of aesthetic
Of course the image being easier to read (thanks also to a ugly but actually smart/needed work on stage colors/lights) is a good thing
Thing is part of what they done is probably not about image being easier to read and likely about internet shitstorm from peoples with no design knowledge
Models are much better than reveal. Notably Ryu’s garb is less stiff. Clear upgrade from reveal. I always hated how his outfit had no flow in SF4 just like pasted skin. This trailer shows a lot of motion in the bottom legs and shirt bottom under the belt. The gi flow in SF3 is straight beautiful, hopefully they keep working on this stuff. BubbleVest looks dope.
I really hope this is not just SF4 with some new playstyle gimmick. I really hope they keep with the iterative tradition and completely overhaul the playstyle. SF4 is pretty stale to me, the only fun I get is messing around with Hakan oil games.
Also I am assuming the XBox release will be delayed?
It might be that too. Doesn’t the winning character of the match have different quotes against other opponents? I remember Ryu and Chun talking stuff about each other at the Capcom Cup gameplay… Maybe we can find out or get a small hint of what is going on with Charlie if he wins against Chun or Bison in the future.
I don’t like the font used in the subtitles.
I don’t like the Street Fighter logo.
I don’t like Charlie Nash.
I don’t like the music used.
The bowl of noodles that fell on Chun Li’s head wasn’t my favorite brand.
Ryu has no facial hair.
Why does Bison have a coat? I want a cape.
Fuck this idiot. Motherfucker shows up with his scrubby full-screen teleport/fireball mixups, lookin like Mr. Patch from Banjo Kazooie. I’m already over this shit.
