Ooooooooooooooooo shiny. I need one!

@Kyattsuai:
Thanks for mentioning contra 4. Brings back memories of the first contra I played on arcade in India. Unfortunately, contra series was never the same after alien wars. Wish they could make a 3-D (not neo-contra)contra for PS3 with MGS4 engine and Itagaki as the director. That would be awesome.

When I see IV I don't think of Street Fighter, Metal Gear Solid or GTA.

I think of Rocky. R.I.P. Apollo Creed!

KaneRobot

Them posters are snazzy. When can we see those in some American arcades? Oh yeah, American arcades exist only for pinball, ticket machines, and DDR...

tlozwarlock

@DukeOfPwn:
Yeah.
Damn those Roman numerals.

@Sailorcancer: cod4

LimitedxEdition

They look fantastic, maybe it's just me but I think they look kinda 3D... they seem to have a effect which makes em look a little 3D to me.

D-Sovereignty

Surely they could've done a different poster design that didn't feature a IV like GTAIV's?

DukeOfPwn

Too many 4th this gen.

SC4
DMC4
SF4
GTA4
MGS4

Missing anything?

Sailorcancer

@venkat55: @Kyattsuai:

and DMC4

Sparx

Is it possible to purchase these?

I would <3 the second one.. Or either for that matter..

I'm a big SF collector.

seym0ur caKe

... on a side note, why is everybody using IV instead of 4? is 4 not cool anymore or what?

Silenced

pretty good, like the second one better

Silenced

@venkat55: Don't forget Contra 4, last year's Call of Duty 4, and the upcoming Soul Calibur IV. No surprise Guitar Hero felt it necessary change the next one to "World Tour."

Kyattsuai

So we have IV games this year with a IV in them?

- GTA
- Metal Gear Solid
- Soul Caliber
- Street Fighter

What a coincidence o_O.

SamStride

Bash, any way Kotaku can get a hold of some and contest them off? Simply awesome, I would kill for one of those.

DigiMish

I like the second one better solely for the fact that it doesn't have Rufus and the wrestler on it.

Sparx

ryu looks MUCH better now.

brooklynwolf

This year is full of the fourth iteration in the big franchises. First GTA4, then MGS4 and now SF4. Hope SF4 lives up to the expectations.

venkat55

New characters version FTW.
Would have preferred it if version 2 had Ken as the background character.

bakudan

When I see "IV" I think Metal Gear Solid.

...

It would be interesting to make that into a poll.

Mikazukinoyaiba

At least they're not calling it just "IV" now... That's what pissed me off about current titles just being the number rather then the name. Still close enough though.

Kaizuden

remake of FFIV this year too.

savemeaquaman

Put the I under the V and you get a Y which stands for YAWN.

This kind of configuration hides too much of the character art. Then again, I wasn't a fan of the art for the new characters anyways so good riddence.

Starplate

the 2nd poster is infinitely better

shichi

ryu looks better now

bersnake

Sorry capcom, GTA stole the giant IV already =/

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

hahahah i'm going to have to go with the extra smile

@Sailorcancer:

Street Fighter 4 is the true IV of this generation.

Why?

To true old school gamers like myself seeing a Capcom employee holding up a poster for Street Fighter 4 is like a total delusion on an epic scale.

It took so long for Capcom to count to 3, the pain... the pain... pa.....in....

*sniffles*

Vanguarde

Perhaps they should have hired some old SNK artists to do the poster.

ZWINGER!!!!!!!

Vanguarde

Need it. Want it!

YotaruVegeta

Brilliant, however, where is the rest of the cast? like Bison, Vega, E Honda... ect.. are they just not that popular?

jadenx

There's a nice empty spot on my wall where these would look perfect.

..Man, I can't wait any longer for this game

MIKO

They could be more fighting style 4... not a GTA alike 4. Its kinda stupid.

bubble-bee

wow i want them.

Cucco

Want

Snake726

Wow, character art is kinda cool.

i_am_not

Jesus christ, DO WANT!

Is there any way to buy these?

Z4N5H1N

If he wasn't holding the posters differently,I would have sworn that they PhotoShopped and replaced the Poster in the second pic.

I cant find a single difference in his facial expression!

Reetesh

@DigiMish: I'm all for that!

C'mon Bash! Get some more SF4 goodness and make a contest! Or better yet just send one my way...=)

I prefer the orange one better.

excaliburps

@robotleawesome: You're right. Looks like it's the entire cast from the Zero/Alpha series, though; from what I can remember anyways. I haven't played in a long time.

everybest

@everybest: needs more Ibuki.

robotleawesome

Hmmm, it got cut off.

everybest

Where can I get one?

This one is my favorite, bought it a while ago.

everybest

@everybest:

Where did you buy the poster?

BlackFreefall

@everybest: Holy crap! That's awesome! Any chance you can send me one?? I'm uh open to special "favors" if you know what I mean...(like washing your car naked!) Yeah you know you want to...
=)

excaliburps

I suddenly felt the need to go to eBay...

Daisuash

I can never seem to find posters even on e-bay. I am wondering if there's a more reliable and dedicated site for game/anime posters because my room isn't awesome enough with just three N1 posters for Disgaea/Phantom Brave/La Pucelle :(

Ashton

@BlackFreefall: @excaliburps: It was from Udon I think. I don't remember exactly where I got it. Google says [www.clubudoncomics.com] should have it but the store is down and it was a while ago. I don't know if they'd have any in stock. The poster is pretty large too.

everybest

Why would you put a big IV on your poster? That could mean anything these days. IV is practically a genre in itself.

NeoStarr

sweet Jesus, let us know if these become available.

mechadeath

*looks at poster*
Do want!
