Street Fighter IV!!! ooh yeah

It has been quite a long time that Street Fighter series appeared on PC. The Street Fighter game I remembered was Street Fighter II Alpha. correct if I'm wrong (in the comments. :P).

Now, there's a new Street Fighter series being announced. Enter STREET FIGHTER IV. From the debut trailer, it seems quite good. (of course all trailers look good, :P) .

One of the reason the trailer caught my eye, it seems to have this very HK-ish comic style look. Exaggerating lines and color and all that, sometimes it just feels like a drawing with all the strokes of a paint brush. Indeed a great job done by Street Fighter demo team. Kudos to all of them.

Looking from the gameplay video. There's a lot that has been buffed up as well. The animation of the street fighters look better. More colorful and vibrant looking colors. The background characters are more lively as well, although they still don't do much tho.not that they are expected to do anything anyways.

Here's 2 videos of Street Fighter IV. The first a debut trailer of Street Fighter IV.


Here's one of a the gameplay video



All the above videos are from Gametrailers.com

Overall, it does seem like a game to look forward to for all Street Fighter fans.

Nvidia to acquire AGEIA

AGEIA, the industry leader in game physics has recently been acquired by NVIDIA, (Nasdaq: NVDA), the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU.

click here for more details.

what could this mean? could the developers still get the free SDK for their own development or will the developers have to pay good money to get these SDKs? after the acqusition.


interesting question to ponder.
