This sort of thing doesn't happen very often, you know. According to Games Radar, a Capcom Gamer's Day event in London has revealed a brand new (and not entirely unexpected) entry in the seminal 2D fighting franchise, Street Fighter. Most notably, this new entry increases the numeral at the end of the title as opposed to the number of Super Hyper Ultra adjectives at the start.
Not much is known about Street Fighter IV at present, save for the fact that its release is more than a year away. Other things you can likely expect while we wait for more details and media to arrive: Ken and Ryu in HD, Hadoukens and extremely pithy victory remarks.

Mark my words, Street Fighter 4 will be 3D, but fighting will be done on the 2D plane. (Like Smash Bros.)I have a feeling though, that the animations for "supers" will have 3D panning galore. Think of Ryu's Shin-Shoryuken being performed while the camera spins in a 3D spiral around him as he rises, then zooms back out to the wide side view. SF ONLY works on the 2D fighting plane.
Also, this game is being developed hand-in-hand with fans, namely those who compete in professional tournaments. So it will most definitely be fought on the traditional 2D plane, as well as be extremely well balanced. Perhaps even better balanced than SFIII Third Strike, arguably the best balanced SF game along with Alpha 3.
