Despite Activision’s threats directed towards the Playstation platforms in which they said they will drop the PS3 unless Sony issues a price cut, things are looking a bit different on Capcom’s side of things.

When asked if Capcom will stop supporting the Playstation, community manager Shawn Baxter was quoted to have said:

I don’t see that happening. Monster Hunter has sold over 8.5 million on the PSP worldwide.

With popular franchises like Monster Hunter and Street Fighter stirring up all sorts of interest on the Playstation 3 it’s no wonder that Capcom looks to stay in the game. I mean, there are over 20 million PS3 users worldwide, it’s almost a no brainer.

Much of the attention for Street Fighter IV has been on the PS3 and Xbox 360 release date on April 24. However, the PC version will also be released soon, most likely summer. But to make sure you don’t miss the release of the PC version, the release date will be made official come May 1.

Over at the official Japanese Street Fighter IV blog, project manager Natsuki Shiozawa made a casual announcement in a post about the game’s upcoming Championship Mode features: The release date of the PC version will be revealed May 1. Shiozawa even ventured, “the game will be out this summer, before it gets super hot!”

If you are an avid follower of Street Fighter, here is your chance to come up with a great art work that can be entered into this competition hosted by Don’t Panic in preparation for the upcoming Street Fighter IV game.

All those artsy-fartsy types might look down on gamers when they can’t tell the difference between cubism and symmetrical art designs, but those artsy-fartsy folk couldn’t tell a Whirlwind Kick from a Hurricane Kick. That’s right, gamers get the chance to play connoisseur for some new SFIV art.

The design competition features artists from all over and actually lets gamers vote and comment on the artist’s work. There are prizes to be won and artwork to be bought. The interpretive pieces will also be accompanied by fan-work, which also happen to be available on the site. This means that gamers get to see how Ryu would look if he were actually drawn/painted to look Japanese, or get a full up-skirt view of Sakura’s rear-end.
