The latest issue of US publication Electronic Gaming Monthly has unveiled the first official details and screenshot of Capcom’s highly anticipated fighter, Street Fighter 4.
Due out next year on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game will feature a new selection of fighting techniques, in addition to all-new locations, characters and gameplay mechanics. Fans of the series will be pleased to learn that the title will also incorporate the classic six-button control layout and 2D fighting system of its predecessors.

In terms of characters, Capcom would only divulge that a number of familiar faces are set to return, including Ryu (pictured above, courtesy of 1up.com), Chun-Li, Ken and Dhalsim, with the remainder of the cast still kept under wraps.
Stay tuned for more details on Street Fighter 4 as soon as they become available.

1st ha ha ,.......this game is gonna rock!
I LOOOOVE THIS! Love the shading! This game promise! I think that if they put in the store classics characters to buy,the can be off-story, only as an add on, the will make a lot of money.
Because Ryu is my favorite I'm happy to hear that he's in the game, even though this was obvious
Great, and i see they are bringing back some of the classic stages. Nothing beats Ryu's SF2 dojo stage (and music). That is a must have.
thank god its 2d
I wish it would have been 3D like the mortal kombat series But im okay with 2D. Im glad they brought Ken back he is my favorite
never been a streetfighter fan...i like tekken better, mortal kombat is a distant second, so i'll pass
@ tillz
I couldn't have said it better myself.....that was my biggest concern for this. I am getting a Killer Instinct vibe from that pic though. The more I look at it, the more I am getting a bad feeling about those graphics. I will be keeping a close eye on this.
wow i really love those graphics i havent played a street fighter game since the super nintendo/sega genesis days of old but that screenshot makes me want to get this game
Bring on Sagat!
WOW! Look, Ryu has a digital HARD-0N!!! &D
What? 2d? Why? If you want to bring a classic game onto a new console they should put in some effort and re-invent a little.
psn id: gingo... these graphics look weird but they definetely go with the street fighter feel this will be strange to play without the old cell shading
It actually looks pretty cool!
I wonder if Wii will be getting it too.Hopefully not.lol
Last time they tried to go 3D the game flopped, and for good reasons, I'm glad they stuck with 2D with a hint of 3D
Just doesn't look right. Ryu and the Level are just not working together.
Hey PSU the new GTA 4 trailer has been up for about 32 minutes now, wheres the post? IGN, joystiq all have one. Im just sayin.
This looks like a winner.
Where does it say it's 2d? it only says it has a 2d fighting system not 2d graphics. It could be 3d using traditional 2d fighting mechanics.
Everyone should be in the fight. A street fighter reunion yeah!
lmao matrix said that ryu has a digital hard on, hahahahaha rotfl
omg its 2 d
thank the heavens
Talk about ugly, god why has cell shading done well at all, I'm never gonna be a fan of any game with cell shading, it looks like half-as s 3d every time. This game is dead to me now.
We need better screenshots of this. >_>
Digital hard on. HAHAHA. I thought I was the only one who noticed it. HAHA
i think this game will sell very well
the street fighter fans won't miss this one for sure.
streeeeeeeeeeet creddddddddddddddddddddit
