Rumor: Car punching returns in Super Street Fighter IV

...and the uncensored arcade version "Oh My God"... Wait that's final fight... another game that deserves a revival... although FF streetwise wasn't great it didn't totally suck either.

Also rumored

- Return of the SF2 bonus games

- A team battle mode that is a 2 vs 2 set, but it can scale up to 4 vs 4.

- A Replay Channel where you can play replays of matches while voice chatting with other players.

- An Endless Battle mode with up to 8 players and voice chat, which sounds a lot like the quarter matches in SSF2T HD Remix.

- Apparently a 'tournament mode' will be delivered as DLC (downloadable content).

Can't believe people are seriously considering rebuying this upgrade of a game that was just recently released. Seriously, they should make a $40 DLC upgrade that you lemmings will swallow up. I'm not talking about those that did not ever purchase SFIV. Capcom is pulling the same sheeet with Resident Evil 5. Fallout 3 is one of the few games to have reasonably priced DLC.

@EMaster:
But the censored "Oh! My car" is funnier.

Wait, that was the GBA version. Here's the SNES version:

Sorry it was Final Fight. Thanks to EMaster for reminding me.

YES!!!!

Darn, I was hoping for the ability to add my own car :o

I'm with you on this. THis was something I expected IV to have. Maybe it's time to put my arcade sticks back to good use.

I have memories of smashing the car with a pipe.

A Ford on easy levels going up to something stupid like a HumVee on hard.

What you're asking for is something Japanese developers will never do in the direction they are going.

As the creator of Megaman said, the Japanese video game industry is over (aside from console making of course). For the most part, many Japanese developers haven't changed any of the core mechanics of their key franchises in a long time. When you look at western developers, they have taken more steps to making games more cinematic, immersive, and appealing to a broader audience. They created regenerating health when they knew that looking for medkits would break the flow, they put in QTE to make cutscenes more interactive, and expanded on gameplay by allowing you to heal your boxer's wounds in between rounds. In comparison, Japanese developers have been sticking more to their niche audiences and trying to appeal to them instead. While it creates a loyal fanbase, it doesn't really invite any new gamers in, and even alienates some of it's older followers, who are sick of how little Japanese games have progressed.

Try playing a JRPG from this current gen, and then go back to some of the older ones, like FFVI or VII. For the most part they all feel exactly the same, with battles mostly following the same forumla, field exploration being limited to the invisible walls they set, and cutscenes that haven't really matured in their writing and execution. Then go from Doom or Duke Nukem to CoD4. Now you have a melee button, the ability to aim down the sights or shoot from the hip, and you can shoot through some walls if they are thin enough.

Although there are some exceptions, such as the milked-out Guitar Hero or Franchise-restructuring RE4, most developers from these regions follow these directions. If you want to see such a realistic "street-fighting" game that doesn't send you flying cause your opponent shoryuken'd your foot, then you better hope that a western developer steps in soon to show these Japanese fighting games what's up.

Yea, I stopped short of saying the whole deal with Japanese devs. I've been saying it for a quite while with their games being the same old stuff it's been since the 80s just with a HD coat of paint and didn't feel like repeating myself. I was sure glad when the Japanese devs finally even acknowledged this, months ago, at a conference.
Also, I stopped short of just putting it on Japanese devs because I feel that it's an industry wide "responsibility" to take fighting games to a new level. Whether their from the UK, US, AU, I don't care. I just want something that is creative, well made and down right fun for me to pick up and feel that it's refreshing.

I was also one of the first to decry this "Super" title because, once again, Capcom is ridiculously stuck in the past. I wouldn't doubt a "Turbo", "Hyper" and/or "Alpha" will eventually come down the pike during this new SFIV "cycle".

At the end of the day, it's a sad thing that not only Japanese devs have seemed to given up on creativity, but we the gamers are losing out on some of greatest games to NOT be created because they just can't "get with it". Eh. At least other parts of the world have come up strong with great games, otherwise, we may have had another industry crash, like back in the day, but this time due to lack of innovation.

I would pay cash money to see Zangief pile drive a car.

That was only for the home system. The arcade had the Car, falling barrels and the burning oil drums.

Nevermind, I missed the earlier post about the suggested $40 price...definitely ok with that! =)

Yeah, maybe they'll get it right eventually

Because [potentially] 8 new characters, many game balances, reworked online mode, and several other changes isn't significant right?

Tweaks alone are worth a new version -- SFIV isn't that good. Just stick with the old one if that doesn't bother you.
