Video: First Street Fighter IV gameplay
Tada! Hail fanboys to the very first gameplay footage of Street Fighter IV in all its Street Fighter glory. It's ready for your viewing.
1UP got the exclusive scoop in a 20 minute video interview with SFIV's developers where they learn, laugh and play everything SFIV. Oh, and did we mention the video above is the first footage of the game? Well, it is and we're not sure if we enjoy the overly animated faces or the new art look, but one thing we're sure of is is that it'll be a change on the traditional SFIV formula. Watch the gameplay footage (and the video interview if you have time) then tell us what your SFIV impressions are. Ryu-kick!

Pretty damn sweet looking but those added graphic overlays during fighting might get annoying.

Can't decide if this looks awesome or shitty. Kinda like the animations, but the FX were annoying just after 10 secs. But as staying truthful to the old games it really looks like an greatly updated SF.

And I can't decide if I should thank X3F for keeping us updated or grab my torch and pitch fork to rally a mob for hunting down X3F because of the shitty gamevideos.com embeded video.
I'll stick to the later for now, but I'm watching you X3F *shakes pitchfork angrily* I'm watching you....

Bah, I'll stick to the former I meant, thanks for the update X3F, but I'd hate to have to hunt you down and fork the shit out of you.

Those screen overlays aren't apart of the real fighting.
Nooooooobs.

Neither is shooting fireballs out of your hands, or flying upside down spinning....

Doesn't look bad. Except for the faces; they got mighty silly looking. But then, I've never been much for Street Fighter.
Those big black overlays were transitions between footage, by the way. The only place you'll really see them is menus and the like.

I agree with you. Their faces look strange, I'm not digging it. The new style looks great!

I'm definitely a Street Fighter purist. I definitely love the game already. You guys should "get" the interview that the producer had with EGM. He's all about the old-school Street Fighter experience and he and his team seem to be going to great lengths to keep the classic framework intact. I don't mind the graphical overlay or the new style... I'm just oh so glad that they kept the gameplay 2D, but then again they could make the game cel-shaded in black and white with chibi heads and I'd probably still love it.... Okay maybe not but still haha

The characters look shit! They are totally wrong! Whoever has done the character design hasn't done a faithful job at all. Won't be touching this game unless they redesign the characters PROPERLY !!!!!!!!!

Awww that looks sweet as!
Don't know what everyone is worrying about.
Those transitions are definitely not part of the game, you can easily tell.
Can't wait!

Another one bites the dust. Street Fighter was like the final holdout from the Polygon Invaders. I think they shoulda stayed true to their roots. Someone's gotta stick-up for 2-D.

This game looks terrible. Is it coming out for XBLA? If not, I doubt I would ever play it at all.
I am not one much for living in the past though.
