I like what Im seeing thus far... SF should be the king of fighting games again if this holds.

PS3

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
By striking a balance between fresh and familiar, and by delivering the best aspects of Street Fighters past, Street Fighter IV is easily one of this console generation's best fighting games. [Feb 2008, p.66]
Xbox 360

95/100
Official Xbox Magazine
If you're a novice, a training mode and eight levels of difficulty will help you find your way. If you're a pro, SFIV contains all the depth you've ever loved about the series, without compromise. Capcom simply got the feel of Street Fighter perfectly right. [Feb 2009, p.76]

OH YEAH! This game will be awesome, and I can't wait. 37 more days until this beauty is mine. The "open for business" aspect of online seems pretty cool. According to OXM, if u have ur status set to "Open for business," u could be playing the arcade mode and be challenged by somebody online. "It's like if u were playing it at an arcade and somebody put in their quarters."

^^that' a neat idea.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Wow, that is a great idea.  Too bad I will get my ass kicked...

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

This will probably be the title that gets me to enjoy fighting games again...plus, it´s got one of the best CEs I´ve ever seen.

Very promising! Perhaps they will finally succeed in bringing the good old SF magic into full 3D without ruining the entire concept!
I'll definately buy this some day (on either console, depends on which one I get first).

Great scores, first day buy.
