While Capcom released the teaser trailer for Street Fighter IV back in October at their Fall Gamers Day, the company wasn’t releasing any details on the title at that time. While still keeping many aspects close to their chest (such as platform, though Capcom hasn’t been playing too many favorites with their recent releases and we very well could see the title released on PS3 and Xbox 360) the company has started to reveal the first of details to the first new Street Fighter title to release since Street Fighter III: Third Strike.

Coming off an eight year hiatus, gamers will be playing Street Fighter IV in the traditional 2D manner of the previous titles with everything including backgrounds, characters and effects rendered in 3D. Camera flourishes will be in 3D as well, so expect to see things get up close and personal when burning a new scar in Sagat’s chest. Speaking of characters, the only four returning characters to be announced so far are fan favorites Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Dhalsim. Although we’re told that ‘classic characters’ will be re-imagined, we don’t know whether those characters will expand beyond the previous four listed.

The classic 6 button fighting system will remain in place along with new special moves and features integrated into the system.

We’ll have more on Street Fighter IV as it’s released. In the meantime, gamers can head on over to http://www.streetfighterworld.com/ in the meantime to see the teaser trailer as well as staying on top of the latest happenings.
