Capcom’s community manager Seth Killian has assured fans they won’t have to wait a decade for a sequel to Street Fighter IV.
Killian’s comments have created a buzz within the Street Fighter community, as 2009′s Street Fighter IV did not launch until ten years after Street Fighter III was available.
Killian told Eurogamer, “If I have anything to say about it, and I do, you will not have to wait ten years for Street Fighter 5.”
“It will be before 2019. Now I’m going to be fired for promising Street Fighter 5 before 2019. I think I should be OK. We’ll see. They’ll do 2020 just to screw me and make me look like an ass.”
It is being reported that the new Devil May Cry is 30% complete. Capcom’s Devil May Cry was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Capcom producer, Motohide Eshiro, told Japan’s Famitsu magazine that this will be a rebirth for DMC that won’t diverge too much.
“We want to make a new Devil May Cry that still retains and takes advantage of the current game world, and I thought it’d be best to leave that task to a team that understood what makes DMC fun while being able to approach it from a different viewpoint than a Japanese outfit. Ninja Theory has a great deal of talent when it comes to visuals, and I figured that combining that with Capcom’s action-game experience would give us that new game we’re looking for.”
When it was announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Street Fighter x Tekken would receive exclusive characters, Capcom endure backlash from the Xbox 360 community.
Capcom’s Senior Vice President, Christian Svensson, defended the decision to give PlayStation 3 and PS Vita exclusive characters in a response from a fan created thread on Capcom Unity.
The fan asked, “Are fans that play Xbox going to get ignored in Street Fighter X Tekken like NetherRealm Studios did with Mortal Kombat?”
Svensson response was, “Guys, we’ve done lots of exclusive content on Xbox 360 platforms (DR1, DR2, Lost Planet, etc.),” he said. “We spread the love around from time to time. Nothing more I can say on the topic for the near term.”
Street Fighter x Tekken is due out on PlayStation 3, PS Vita and Xbox 360 in 2012.
SCEJ President confirmed in an interview with Reuters that there is no Monster Hunter 4 for PlayStation Vita unless Capcom changes their mind.
“I don’t know, you will have to ask Capcom,” responded Kawano when questioned if Monster Hunter 4 would make it to PS Vita.
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd has sold almost five million units in Japan only, and it would be a surprising move from Capcom if Monster Hunter 4 did not make land on PS Vita.
