News 3DS

Hadou-what?

The 3DS version of Super Street Fighter IV has an over-the-shoulder view.

Reports from attendees at Nintendo's Japan 3DS event suggest that when 3D is turned on, the camera repositions itself from side on to just behind the shoulder of the selected character.

"It's like a different game," said a 4gamer reporter (translated by Andriasang).

Commands operate normally and the camera sticks to the character's back at all times. See it in action in this Japanese news report (at the 1 minute 22 seconds mark).

This is the first we've heard of the behind the shoulder view – we'll check with Capcom now.

Yesterday producer Yoshinori Ono told Eurogamer fans will be able to input commands using the 3DS touch screen – as an alternative to the d-pad button configuration.

Is this really necessary? Can't we just have the characters in 3D while keeping the action on a 2D plane?

Looking at the Japanese vid, the angle is really weird. Very hard to judge spacing, i.e. the basic foundations of SF4 would be broken.

Edit: sure, would def like to see it in 3d but watching the Guile fight in 2d it looked very odd.

surely it being in 3d will make it easy to judge spacing

I think that sounds pretty cool! I'll probably only do it a few times to catch a glimpse of the fourth wall you never see in street fighter, and go back to using the normal camera most of the time. But little additions and novelties like that help make a game great I think.

I don't think they really expect people to play competetively using it - presumably its just a bit of a novelty to show off the 3D effects, no?

Meh, looking at the videos of this and the other games. It looks like a really big improvement on the DSi!
I think I may be trying to save up..

The key here is depth perception. Close one eye and it's difficult to judge how far things are away from you (obviously you know familiar objects through memory). With two eyes, like wot we have, you can calculate how far an object is away as you can see it from two different angles. This is where 3D and over the shoulder whoop-ass will be mutually beneficial.

For the record, i prefer traditional 2D Streetfighter!

Tekken 2 had an unlockable mode that allowed you to fight from the eyes of (a wireframe version of) the Tekken character. I thought it was rather awesome, though of course hard to judge impact because of lack of depth. 3D display does really sound like it's a good moment to try again. Nice! (even if I despise this franchise ... )

What concerns me is the 'when 3d is turned on' part of that statement...Does that mean that the 3D effect will only work with a behind the shoulder view? That would really suck ass.

Here's a brief look at this new camera angle:

@Trigga_Tybalt: nah, the last 5 secs are the real deal lol.
Even though it doesnt seem practical i guess it could be fun single player wise.

If the game really causes you to lock eyes meaningfully with a stranger and then an unseen announcer shouts "FIGHT!", best thing ever.

Yes, it would be difficult to judge depth but that's why the game is on the 3DS. I mean, the whole decision for including this perspective would be the devs know it would work when paired with the 3D screen.
