There hasn't been as much buzz pre-San Diego Comic Con this year as there was last year (in terms of games), though that isn't stopping the legendary Yoshinori Ono, Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV producer, from getting excited
via twitter that he can finally reveal his new secret project at the nerdtastic event (and seriously, when this guy gets excited, it's pretty damn infectious - I'd love to be present for this).
"I finally hope to reveal a bit about what I've been relentlessly working on lately," he wrote in one early tweet, which was recently followed up with "I was able to prepare Trailer of Comic-con. Don't miss it on next Saturday !!"
According to reports, we won't be seeing Capcom Vs SNK 3, or Darkstalkers, so what could he possibly be working on?
For added humour, check out Ono's obsessive Blanka photo taking (riddled throughout his tweets), I've witnessed this first-hand - you'd actually think he was the most hardcore Street Fighter fanboy to ever exist.

As for the Capcom game, it's probably just going to be another Street Fighter (insert japantastic suffix here), but wouldn't it be awesome if they made some kind of roaming action adventure or RPG title with Street Fighter characters, in a similar vein to Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. I'd be aaaalll over that s***.

The only thing I can think of is like some massive online Final Fight game, like a 16 player 3d Side scrolling beat'em up, now THAT would be awesome :)
As I can't really recall any awesome 3D side scrolling Beat Em Ups these days, The bar is currently raised by Castle Crashers on Xbox Live Arcade, so a rebirth of the final fight series would be well timed

LOL, seriously, possibly a new Streets of Rage with Super Street Fighter 4 engine? A new Tatsunoko for next-gen consoles?
Posted 01:18pm 13/7/10
that's the best idea i've heard of in a while
Posted 02:01pm 13/7/10
maybe you should expand into movies, tv and comics ;P

Wouldn't that be nice - SSFIV matches between any consoles/PC... (it won't happen, but that's cooler than a third incarnation of SFIV)

kotaku reported the other day that MS did some cross platform testing and decided to shelve any plans for it because the console players got absolutely demolished by the pc players. apparetly they got the best xbox players for a certain game (probably cod) and mediocre players for pc, and the pc players won every time.

FPS and RTS, PC would win hands down. fighters, not so much. they would be on level grounds imo.
