Street Fighter IV home port to include new characters, online play

What are you blathering about?

What on earth does this news have to do with the Wii? If it's that the game isn't being released on the Wii then you have a very poor argument.

Console Warriors, go home....

This comment sums up everything wrong with console zealots:

- Poor arguments
- Poor social lives
- Poor trolls

Conclusion: Everyone else wins.

Does this have anything to do with anything??

I love lamp

Who are you, you trolling troll. I read your dumb-ass comment about Ninja Gaiden. What are you. like ten or something? GTFOutta here.

He was trolling but I see his point. Or at least I was able to derive a point from his trolling.

The Wii is obviously making more money and will "win" the console war of this gen. The controls spark imagination and innovation yes, but at what price? Shovelware and lack of traditional controls destroy a chance for Nintendo fans to enjoy certain types of games. In this case: fighting games.

That is unless you buy another controller.

....

Why the fuck aren't you banned yet?

ninjas > all

Of course that would be YOUR first thought.

+1

blastphemy!!!!

you cant tell me the 9124824582765 time you played the break the rolling barrel minigame you didnt still love it

"My beautiful FACE!"
:)

exactly how is a masked character "fugly"...

hmmm?

Jtenma,

their is a lot more to a person than just thier face, he looks kinda short and buff, where he has always been a charactor with a long body and long reach, I guess we will have to see how he plays.

Okay, art nerd challenge accepted...

Take a look at the ab region... SWEET SHIT! It LOOKS like a faily low res normal map. Actually, scrath that, it looks like a horrible bump map. Something definitively greyscale sculting the geometry there. Because rather than looking like the normal map was generated from high res geometry, it looks like they just decided to randomly pull chunks out of his meat...

The arm itself doesn't connect in the armpit... in fact it seems like the muscle tissue above the biceps is the only thing attaching his limbs.

The sash around his waste contours to the body geometry too closely. In other words, the clothes are "painted on" which was unacceptable for a 3D artist when FFVIII hit the scene, imagine how poorly it reflects now.

The hands appear monstrous rather than well manicured. Yes, Vega had long fingernails, but his hands look like hell there.

The ornamentation on his arms appear flat with practically no real sense of being garish metal of an egomaniac.

I could go on about the lack of details in the tattoo, etc. But I think I'll finish it up like this...

This is Vega...

That above? Looks like a rush job to fill out a roster.

Ok...

1. nerd?
2. The art style in this game is clearly going for something different than from the pictures you provided.

The game depicts bulky stalky characters much like how the (spin-off series) Alpha depicted younger wider humanoid figures in that game... It just wouldnt look right for Vega to be the only slim figure in the game.

Its like trying to put a sf3rd strike character in the alpha series, that's clearly not what they are going for...

I hated the sf1 and 2 and 3 artwork too, (I prefer the MvC to any) but you dont see me complaining.

Also...I could say "this is vega too" it doesn't matter wtf I think vega should look like...only Akira Nishitani (designer) should really have any say in what any SF fighter should REALLY LOOK LIKE.

Oh,

And I'm sure you know during any designing process, you're going to LOSE somethings, keep somethings, change somethings...etc.etc.. they were probably going to do that design of Vega too(the link you provided) but like I said...

Playing devil's advocate a moment, while all the issues you point out are accurate flaws, I am *really* hoping that:

1) This is an early/unpolished model?
2) The screenshot is taken at a bad angle, causing the cel shader rendering filter they use to make the abs look horrible?
3) He has the same horrible genetic shoulder dislocation disease that the female mage from World of Warcraft suffers from: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/wallpapers/wallpaper51.html

But yeah, Vega has been and always will be my favorite Street Fighter character, so I am hoping they do him a little more justice than this.

Yeah, jtemna, nerd. I'm a 3D artist by trade so I see things slightly differently from just staring. And considering I identified the surface rendering effects as a greyscale map rather than a full RGB spectrum normal map issue, I'd say that qualifies me as a nerd... Judging from the shot above, I can also tell you how the UVs are mapped...

Anyway, your arguements about fighting the art style would make sense except for this...

Here's why this screenshot from the same project destroys your argument. Notice the muscles on Ryu have a much higher amount of definition given in addition to the normal mapping being much high detailed than what is shown here. Likewise the Gi itself and the bandana are actually geometry rather than painted on in the texture and allowing a bump to give a ridge. There is also no flatness to Ryus muscles and although he suffers from missing arm bits syndrome as well, it's nowhere near as offensive.

I'll give benefit of the doubt and write this one off as an early preview look but this Vega doesn't even come close to the quality shown in the other models. Even the recently unveiled ones like M. Bison and Sagat.

No I wasn't talking about you, I know your a nerd...I thought you were talking me.

LOL...

Also, Ive seen some of your works(deviant art) and if I may say...they are pretty good :)

"It LOOKS like a faily low res normal map. Actually, scrath that, it looks like a horrible bump map. Something definitively greyscale sculting the geometry there.

Exactly what i've been saying. Where are the parts of this that can't be done on Wii?

Console Warriors, go home....

What u talkin about I love Chun-Li's Thunder Thighs

I fixed it for you iag25 :)

"If the PS2 can last 8 years. (Which is weaker then the Wii) Then why can't the Wii?"

Because it is eight years later.

I agree Lucy

SF IV is disgusting to look at to be honest. Just shitty no matter how you slice it.

I'd say Viper looks like she wandered away from the KOF XII project before it got started. Probably following Mapquest. Looked around, realized her mistake, and proceeded to say "Fuck it, I'm here now."
