As suggested by the trailer, Street Fighter IV will feature stylized 3D graphics, but Capcom said that the gameplay will have a "2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes." In further nods to series traditionalists, the game will have the same six-button layout as previous Street Fighter games, as well as familiar faces including Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim. However, not everything will remain the same; Capcom has said it will introduce new special moves, techniques, locations, and gameplay systems.
Several major details--platforms and a projected release date among them--remain under wraps.
This will not be the first time the Street Fighter series has ventured into the third dimension. Arika developed the Street Fighter EX arcade spin-off in 1996, as well as a handful of sequels and PlayStation ports. However, that spin-off series has been dormant since Street Fighter EX3 debuted alongside the PlayStation 2 in 2000.

Well, looks like my wish of more returning faces are coming true, but I am not sure if the 3D graphics and 2D gameplay will play well.
