Capcom Reveals Street Fighter 4, Dark Void, Lost Planet on PS3

October 17, 2007 10:00 AM

At the Capcom Gamer's Day in London, game developer and publisher Capcom revealed it's begun work on Street Fighter 4, the first new title in the central Street Fighter series of seminal fighting games since 1997's Street Fighter 3, according to a now-removed story at Games Radar. Work on the title has just started for unannounced platforms, and Capcom insinuated a 2009 release would be the earliest gamers would see the fighter in arcades or at retail.

The company additionally confirmed its newest IP, revealed in trademark filings earlier this week, called Dark Void. The title is a sci-fi action-adventure in the third-person, with steampunk trappings like jetpacks, airships, gyrocopters and the like. No platforms or estimated release dates were announced for the title.

Capcom also announced that last year's ultra-cold shooter Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (PC, X360) will be making its way to PlayStation 3 early next year. The game will thankfully include all the downloadable content and bonuses available for the PC and Xbox 360 versions when it retails, so gamers won't have to wait for Sony's PlayStation Network to get its expanded downloadable content stream in working order.

That article just got deleted apparently. Was there any word on if SF is 2d still or if they are trying another illfated 3d version?

  If they know what they're doing it will be 2d.. A nice clean, slick 2d high def fighting game would look amazing on next gen consoles.

    I'm with you, didn't Capcom buy out SNK or something so they could feasibly make a SF4 with almost every character in the known 2d fighting universe?

        Hahah alright thanks. I coulda swore they bought out somebody, I thought it was the Samurai Showdown people but that no is way too serious to question.

      SNK has merged with Playmore not Capcom.

    But does SCEA still have that silly anti-2D bias they had during the PS1 days, and even more so in the 2 days? I know SNK had trouble getting KOF, and other stuff released in the US.
    
    For instance, the KOF 2k/2K1 pack and the 2K2/2K3 packs (so mad that I missed the latter) came out because they're anthologies, but the remake of KOF94 was not. And IIRC, Samurai Showdown V came out on the PS2 and Xbox in Japan, but only on the Xbox stateside.

      They're definitely fine with 2D games on PSN, at least.
