Sony has put up a ridiculous and kind of awesome teaser for Hadouken Cabs. What this means exactly is up for debate. An email sent to VG247 this morning stated:

Don’t just call a cab! Call Hadouken Cabs! Hadouken Cabs. Knocking the competition out since 1987.

They also use the PS4 Twitter hashtag #4theplayers. Some of the Easter eggs shown in the video include a "PS1994" license plate on the taxi cab, a URL on the sign which points to this website, and the clip briefly shows the PS4 controller.

This teaser likely means that Sony has worked out some kind of deal for Street Fighter on the PlayStation 4, but that's only speculation at this point, as nothing has been officially confirmed, yet.

    I remember Ono saying in a tweet last month that Capcom doesn't have the funds to bring a port of SF4 to the PS4.

    Maybe Sony is stepping up to the plate to make it possible. SF series being a PS4 exclusive would be big for Sony.

    There was a big article a few months back saying Capcom is down to 150 million in the bank.

    Ono said they don't even have the resources to make a next gen port of Ultra SF4.

    Netherrealms has the machine known as Time Warner behind it which is worth about 70 billion.

    Ryu and Hadouken Cabs return in another live-action PlayStation 4 commercial - more Street Fighter teasers


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dR28fXFDMI

    Sony uploaded a new live-action commercial for the PlayStation 4 that features another appearance by Ryu from Street Fighter. Last week, we reported on a bizarre trailer that advertised something called, "PS4 Hadouken Cabs," and showcased Ryu running a taxi cab service.

    In this brand spankin' new footage, Ryu drives a client through the city, where numerous characters from games set to be on PlayStation 4 run rampant. One of the latest little hints in this clip, (as seen in the image below), is Ryu's Street Fighter 4 portrait on his I.D. card.

    Hit the jump to continue on.

    Many people figured since the first teaser only showed Ryu, and advertised the PS4, that perhaps this could be a sign of a Sony exclusive title. In this new video, however, we see numerous game characters that are involved in multi-platform franchises, such as Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto 5, and more. This may mean that whatever it is Sony and Capcom have up their sleeves, we may see it on several consoles.

    Still, the entire point of Ryu's appearance in these teasers is shrouded in mystery. Everything is still speculation at this time.

    Check out the clip below, and let us know what you think.

    Same post in 3 dif threads yall know how I do, shout out @KillaCham

    Is Ultra Street Fighter 4 coming to PlayStation 4? Ono posts possible hint

    Capcom representative Yoshinori Ono took to Twitter just yesterday in order to thank those who shared their opinions at the latest Ultra Street Fighter 4 location test.

    Providing a picture of his Blanka figurine lying on a Vewlix style USF4 arcade cabinet, we see that Ono has also included a PlayStation 4 controller in the photo. Many have began speculating that this may be alluding to a possible PS4 port of Capcom's upcoming Street Fighter title.

    You can check out the photo below.

    The above image isn't the only potential hint that Sony and Capcom have something up their sleeves, however. Back in November of last year, Sony uploaded a live-action PlayStation 4 commercial in which Ryu made an appearance. The world warrior could also be seen operating a taxi cab, and working for a service deemed "Hadouken Cabs" in Sony's first live-action teaser.

    Lastly, Ono mentioned on Twitter last week that we can expect to see an Ultra Street Fighter 4 related announcement soon.

    What all of this may mean is still heavily shrouded in mystery, but be sure to check out Ono's tweet below, and feel free to let us know what you think Capcom has brewing, in the comments below.

    Capcom may be making preparations to announce new fighting game at E3, Yoshinori Ono teases

    24_ono_02.jpg


    The Ultra Street Fighter 4 E3 2014 invitational tournament isn't everything fighting game-related that Capcom is planning this year, two new tweets from Yoshinori Ono is suggesting.

    @Yoshi_OnoChin: I'll back to home from business trip. We'll be making preparation for E3. I'll be there in this year. I'm looking forward to meet to FGC!

    @Zepht: @Yoshi_OnoChin announcement of the new game?

    @Yoshi_OnoChin: We're making preparation about USFIV TOURNAMENT at E3 and .... ;D RT @Zepht: announcement of the new game?

    Given that Capcom had been searching for developers with relevant experience in making fighting games around August of last year, and that Ultra Street Fighter 4 is currently the only known fighting game in Capcom's development pipeline, it would make perfect sense for the Osaka-headquartered games maker to finally announced that top-secret new fighting game at E3 this year.

    Question is, EventHubs, will the new fighting game be DarkStalkers, or something else altogether?
