Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

The countdown site

Should be interesting to see what this is. After Capcom dropped the PS3 for Monster Hunter 3 and gave it to the Wii there was alot of fan outcry. In an unusual response to one fan complaining that Capcom doesn't care about their PS3-owners on the Capcom forums, Christian Svensson (Senior Director of Strategic Planning & Research for Capcom) replied Let's see how they feel at the end of next week about us. The timing matches up perfectly.

A hint was given from one of the Capcom blogs:

They should make another street fighter.

Assuming it's from one of Capcom's existing franchises and that this hint gives us the breakdown of the words, my guess is Mega Man or Onimusha. Street Fighter also fits but there is a period in the middle.

It won't be but I wish for Dead Rising 2 with co-op.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

With all the buildup it seems like anything less than SF4 would be a letdown, and yet SF4 seems too obvious. Maybe something silly like Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter?

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

Next Gen Mega Man done right is what we can all hope for.

Dead Rising would also be acceptable.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

I read somewhere that Capcom of Japan wouldn't continue with the Streetfighter Series because 2-D fighters are simply a niche market right now.

Capcom vs SNK vs Namco anyone?

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

marvel vs capcom 3

so make a 3-D version then. But make a good one. I don't think 2-D is really that much of niche -- unless it is a niche of people who prefer good game play, lots of times games are actually worse in 3-D because they focus to hard in making the game in super-cool 3-D than they do in actually making the game fun and playable.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

Whatever this is, is it a PS3 exclusive or just that its going to be on the PS3 as well?

Fighting games made up 4.6% of sales in 2006. ESA Lots more 3-D fighters than 2-D fighters nowadays. The niche for 2-D fighters is getting smaller and smaller and hardcore. I'd really hate if Capcom's big announcement was for Streetfighter EX 4.

This would be the best game of all damn time.

Got to see the next-gen Hitler ending.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

Okay, who would've rather have a 2D Bionic Commando sequel for XBLA or PSN instead?

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

Wow!!!!!! I can't believe it. Bionic Commando is one of my favorite games ever. I wouldn't have minded a 2d sequel, but I'm even more excited about this. I think this is one game that could go 3D really really well.

Kind of sucks for Capcom that somebody leaked the news to Gamespot early, but at least it definitely does qualify as HUGE news.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

Wow.... turns out that was not even the 'huge' news:

Again from Christian Svensson on the Capcom forums:

You saw one announcement today at Gamespot.

You will see another announcement at the countdown timer on Wednesday.

You'll see a slew of other announcements/updates after the media embargo lifts on Thursday/Friday or so.

I'm thinking that a new Final Fight could be pretty sweet.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

Didn't see this coming.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

More than a year away? I have to imagine that 2d fighting games are the easiest games in the world to make.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

I really can't imagine they'd keep SF4 2d, unfortunately.

There will be two dimensions or there will be riots.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

If the gameplay looks remotely like the trailer it will be awesome.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
 

I'd buy a new gamesystem if it was as fun as the first Bionic Commando.

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon

Re: Huge announcement from Capcom coming soon
