IGN: Capcom's Final Fight Returns

The gameplay looks way too gimmicky to be true Final Fight. Final Fight is all about mindless ass-whipping, and then ruining a car in the bonus round. And then putting in yet another quarter.
 
I dunno about this. A lot of the Maximo staff was let go suppossedly and the last Final Fight that Capcom Digital produced (FF Revenge) was less than stellar. What happened to Bionic Commando anyway? :/
 
Would've preferred Cody himself and Haggar and maybe a more colorful style in tune with the old 2D games, but this definitely sounds interesting and the gritty look seems to be neccessary in the market for now anyway.
 
I'd prefer the rest of the FF's to be ported to the GBA. FFOne was awesome with the new Codies and Guys plus other unlocks. But I'll take FF anyway I can get it.
Besides, if you believe it can't work, Dynamite Cop, Die Hard Arcade, Fighting Force and TMNT all disagree.
 
Doesn't look like Final Fight, could be anything really if it didn't have that name.

And it has bullet-time.

<shakes head>
 
What's the point?

Beat-'em-up games sell in today's market only if they're fast-paced and have strong exploration or puzzle elements. (See Devil May Cry, God of War, et al.)

Final Fight was none of these. You could speed up the pace, enhance the combat system beyond hitting the buttons as fast as possible, add branching paths, and even add some puzzles, but then it would be Final Fight in name only.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
 
As a HUGE Final Fight fan, I've never felt such joy (seeing the thread title) then such sadness (seeing the screenshots).

Where are the classic characters? And with the loss of the 80s look, it just doesn't seem the same.
 
This looks nothing like Final Fight and more like those generic urban games that are coming out soon. Everything just looks generic, especially the main character. None of the characters have the crazy colorful look of the original. Where's Andore?!

Plus, why the hell didn't they just update the look of the old characters. I would rather play Cody in his SFA3 prison garb than his brother who looks like the guys you beat up in the millions in the first final fight. I bet he's the guy who cried after the car bonus round.
 
When I saw "New Final Fight game announced" earlier this afternoon, I was really excited. Then I saw the pics and that it was made by the same guys who developed the wretched and beyond-awful FINAL FIGHT REVENGE.

;_;

Thanks for further fucking up one of the best BEU games ever created, Capcom. If this is what Capcom USA does with licenses, I don't ever want to see another new Street Fighter game again.

I don't want a generic Grand Theft Auto rip-of, I want Final Fight. :/

Oh well, perhaps the other BEU Capcom is publishing will turn out better. Right now I'm all about the game coming from Namco, though.
 
It would have been better if they just made a sequel for the portable systems. It was pretty refreshing playing the Final Fight GBA game with the SFA sprites. They should have done something like that.

Oh who am I kidding, they would never draw new sprites. I'm still waiting for SF4 to be announced here. I'm just gonna sit in the corner and cry for minute as if Capcom abused me.
 
Rather than follow legendary heroes Haggar, Guy, and Cody, Final Fight: Streetwise puts players in the role of all-new character and brother to Cody, Kyle Travers.

*cue slide whistle*

What a letdown (at least visually). I've already tuned out, Capcom!
 
Holy god that game looks horrible. I'd much more perfer the kiddie look of the original Final Fight, hell I'd love to see Final Fight done with the Powerstone engine and use the same graphics.

"Capcom has always had the reputation of being one of the most innovative and talented game makers in the video game industry," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing, Capcom Entertainment. "Final Fight: Streetwise exemplifies our ability to create a gritty, cutting-edge experience in true Capcom style."


This quote is marketing classic. I'll give them talented but I tell you what once the get a hit they know how to milk that bitch till blood comes out of her teats.
