Capcom has just released Street Fighter 6 on current-gen platforms. Powered by the RE Engine, SF6 pushes next-gen graphics and looks miles better than its predecessor.
Yesterday, YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ and ‘ElAnalistaDeBits’ shared the following comparison videos. In the first video, we get a direct comparison between the 3D models of Street Fighter 5 and Street Fighter 6. And as we can see, the improvements are huge.
Everything, and I mean everything, looks better in SF6. The lighting is better, the skin shading is better, the shadows are more defined, and the 3D models have more polygons. Hell, there are even some cool clothes physics. And yes, the hair of all main characters looks significantly better than in SF5.
Seriously, look at Ken. Okay okay, it’s a shame that we won’t have any more “banana” memes, but his SF6 model looks soooooooooo good. And don’t get me started with Cammy.
Overall, this is exactly what a “next-gen” game should look like. And I’m using these quotes because all of the latest current-gen games do not feel like “next-gen” titles. I’m also worried about Tekken 8 as its latest trailers are nowhere close to its reveal trailer. Since I’m a die-hard Tekken fan, I’ll be there day-1 (my boy Hwoarang will be in T8 so yay). Still, and while the 3D character models in T8 look amazing, its lighting and shadows feel old-gen-ish right now.
Anyway, enjoy the videos and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
