In short, I support a new installment with current technology much more than a vague and unsuccessful remake of one of the video games with an iconography so strongly linked to its original pixels.
Without going into discussing the chosen style, more yankee and not very respectful of the originals, I break a spear in favor of the future Street Fighter IV and its demonized 3D In these times, although we all drop the tear with high resolution or animations as worked as those of SFIII, it is commercially a suicide to launch it in traditional 2D (a greeting from here to King of Fighters XII). In addition, these sprites are visible and difficult to ignore, since no transitions or new layers have been worked (perhaps justifiable so as not to alter the mechanics, incomprehensible in the animations of the characters in the background) with what the result is like seeing a Blu- Ray at 15 frames per second. I was aware that it was a profound facelift (I also question to what extent it is necessary), charging with phobia the very naivety of the original pixelote: repainting sprite by sprite creates a violent clash, between strangely stylized characters (in the original certain sprites were like this not for aesthetic but practical reasons), going from elegance and work to true abominations. And the fan as a fan, in this case represented by me, feels a bit cheated and disappointed, although he should not, there are the reasons.
This crazy umpteenth interpretation of Street Fighter II (the subtitle already leaves little room for a future Hyper-Super-Turbo-Omega-Real-HD, which will not doubt it will come) aims to take advantage of that evident nostalgia (also a focus of attraction and potential future inescapable income) at the expense, basically, of the fan. The Hadouken !, the old glorious stories about stronger shadows, hypothetical unlockable characters passing the game without looking and with a hand on your back or the first hints of pixelated sexual myths, are no longer part of our history, but a necessary ingredient to understand many of us psychologically. If in your life you are not a fatal fan of Street Fighter and all its cultural medley that has made it a visible icon of a decade, make yourself look at it.
