If you’re referring to the team that does the Darkstalkers games, that’s Team Dirty Beret, and most of them are still with Capcom. Some of them may have jumped ship to Arc, but who knows about that. And the head guy behind Darkstalkers left Capcom right after Vampire Hunter. He joined Akira Nishitani and others over at Arika to make the SFEX games and Fighting Layer.
Funamizu isn’t one of the founding fathers of SF, there were only two and those two were Okamoto and Nishitani. Funamizu is just well known for heading up many projects.
CPS2 and CPS3 being better than NAOMI?
Seriously you should rethink that, I’m not even going to bother with a rebuttle with the absurdity of that comment.
No offense, but your comments are very fanboy oriented and don’t really offer any real insight on the game.
Yea after spending some time with this game, i’m really not liking it all that much. I thought it was going to be better then what it is. I’m not talking about the graphics or anything like that. I’m talking out the game play itself, i’m just not liking it. The way the characters move doesn’t feel right to me, like its slow or clunky.
I’m just sick of everyone trying to justify this game. It is crap. You don’t need to work at capcom to understand they’re not making games for you, they’re making it so they can make money and stay alive as a business. If a product is still going to sell the same way regardless of the effort put into it, why not have low R&D costs and sell the same amount of game units? Smells like profit to me.
Gameplay wise that’s not even true, and no I don’t have a problem with the cross capcom matches. What I do have a problem with is every character being raped from their respective game (Darkstalkers doing no damage, Warzard and SF2 characteres being extremely limited, and Alpha characters doing 70% customs by mashing 1 button).
Ok, here we go. I love capcom games. I love their artistic style, animation, everything. But this game is downright ugly. From the static backgrounds (although I do like a couple), EXTREMELY PIXELIZED character sprites (I’ve never seen a worse entry by capcom), horriffic character art (yes, I’m taling about the former snk artist), and super meters that were probably redrawn in less then an hour, this game is in a leauge of it’s own when it comes shitty visuals.
Problem: that requires playing the game.
That’s fine. Bottom line to me is that I can’t play shitty games anymore. That’s me. Feel free to waste as much time as you like on this. I know how nostalgic everyone likes to be about capcom, but they will keep making games like this if you keep playing them. I know it’s hard to swallow, but new companies (i.e. sammy) are raising the bar for what a 2d fighter should look and play like. Capcom fighters have become outdated and they have proved it with this wonderful game. Don’t waste your $30 bucks.
guess we’ll just have the play the same old games we’ve always been playing. no new game companies are trying to make 2d fighters, the only other ones are sammy and snk. you could always play 3d fighters, tekken 5!
Neither of which will be online which kind of kills my enthusiasm. No online = no point for me with no arcade scene nearby. I can’t take much more of doa scrub crap online
you know how retarded some people sound like when they’re like saying its a half ass game and its playable. da hell, who gives a fuck, it sucks and you people know it. its playable, my ass, who says that too when recommending a game. my friends and i were playing this shitty games and we were just hitting the buttons like zombies. theres nothing special about it. but riiiight, its playable and nothing new. thats just radical.
I find all the hating and negativity is a side effect of one thing for CFE. The dwindling arcade scene and the fact that the game has not come out for a period in the arcades 1st.
People haven’t had the chance to really play and experiment against other people, only the computer, so… yea… computer sucks. Also! Note that the lack of an arcade release before the home version undercuts the biggest selling point of fighters… and not just competition. It’s learning from others’ play styles. Not just copying a pattern and such, but seeing what connects and what doesn’t, the way a character can be handled outside of our own limited imaginations. I mean, even pros need guinea pigs at one point or another, and I don’t think of the training dummy as one. =\
Don’t forget the hype people have seeing it in the arcade and not having it at home already. It’s sort of like… CFE is “direct to video” or something. I don’t know if the game was low budget or not… but whatever. Seriously, nothing pumps me up on a fighting game than seeing the COMPETITION play and seeing if I’m up to par with them. At home, by myself? Wtf… I’ll mess around with combos and crap, but not much else. It’s hard to formulate mind games but I digress. I’m sure there are people who are good at making “shadow boxers” for themselves for home play.
It’s pretty hard for a newbie to consider testing out all different sorts of things (kara cancel, priorities) if they are not predisposed to that kind of thinking in the 1st place. So, in the end… and it’s been said a thousand times before from many people on the board before me, it is a matter of time to see how Evo is.
that’s totally fine by me. as long as they have at least double the cast, like the transition made between mvc1 and mvc2. :tup:
variety is the spice of life, even if it IS ruled by the Big 4! :pleased:
I’m sure the second iteration will be better…
until then, i’m enjoying this game. :xeye:
BTW, Kouga, I STILL don’t know who you are, even if you DO go to Animation Town! I seriously know most of the people there, and I don’t know who the hell you are!!!
I guess it’s because I really don’t go that much… I was there the day CFJ first came. I didn’t really play it but I was playing GGXX in the adjacent cabinet with pink Robo-Ky, if that helps. I usually come with Arikado too.
After finally playing this game, I feel that it’s a below-average Capcom title. Not worth 30 dollars. I don’t think it’s garbage though.
And I remember people at srk saying that Zangief being gay was cannon, stated in the All About Capcom book. But from Zangief’s CFE ending leads one to think otherwise.
Not worth 30 dollars. I don’t think it’s garbage though.
