PS4 confirmed for 2013 in Europe, so we can most likely assume the same for US.

Anyone else rooting for Apogee/3DR?

[UHMEEEEBA]

Hope you weren't looking forward to a new F-Zero or Star Fox any time soon.

Wow. RIP.

[Jesuszilla]

Can't say I'm entirely familiar with him but that sucks.


Also, they're finally digging up the site at Alamogordo to determine once and for all whether or not Atari actually buried tons of hardware in a landfill, including thousands of unsold copies of E.T.

[UHMEEEEBA]

Capcom will be releasing yet another SF4 update, this one will port in some SFxT characters (Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison) and a "character never seen in Street Fighter before".

The wording of the last one has me thinking they'll just port over Haggar from MVC3.

[Jesuszilla]

No, watch it be BBAMM because it's SFxT and that takes zero effort to port over if you've seen any of the hacks.

[KoopaKoot]

Ono confirmed that it's not BBAMM and while we're at it, it's not Asura either.

[devilgenemugen]

maybe it could be Maki?(Maki appear in SFZ3Max) or other final fight character

[Jesuszilla]

Well, actually...

So, that rules out Maki (they said it would be someone WHO HAS NOT BEEN IN STREET FIGHTER, so why would you even suggest that?), Haggar, and Kyosuke.


... Forte. Has to be.




... right? ;~;

[UHMEEEEBA]

Probably another Final Fight character that hasn't been in a fighting game like Edi. E, Belger (with Cyborg Belger and Zombie Belger alternate outfits) or any of the various other grunts.

OR if they count SFxT as a crossover game and not a Street Fighter game they could, in theory anyways, have a guest Tekken character provided they threw enough money at Namco. That seems unlikely though.
