No Captivate this year. http://www.vg247.com/tag/captivate-2013/<br><br>
Damn, all this Lilith hate, canât a guy just shoot someone into the wall like an arrow from a bow, throw a tophat at him/her and make him/her dance him/herself to death in peace?<br>
Shoryuken swallowed my initial post, so I made a summary of my lost post. But my original post was spat out an hour later and itâs right underneath this one. So the summary wonât be needed anymore.<br>

</blockquote>A new DS is a possibility, because of the rerelease on XBL/PSN(I think they did the same thing with Marvel) and Ono got a game greenlit sometime around Evo. At several occasions Ono made some remarks, that a new Darkstalkers could be coming(<a href=âhttp://shoryuken.com/2012/07/13/yoshinori-ono-teases-darkstalkers-at-comic-con/â>like this for example</a>). Ofcourse in the Ono way, so who knows. But there is a possibility.<br><br>So there are signs for a new Darkstalkers, but there are also signs for a new Street Fighter game. I think it could be anything; Darkstalkers 4, Street Fighter Alpha 4 or Street Fighter 5. Maybe even a Capcom Allstars fighting game in the vein of MvC3(but without the hassle of having to deal with Marvel).<br>And maybe there is a new Darkstalkers in development, but we will never know. If the rerelease isnât selling well enough and Capcom comes to the conclusion that a new Darkstalkers might not even come close to letâs say a million sales(just making that up), they might just cancel it. Would be cheaper than developing, producing and marketing a game that doesnât sell.<br><br>However SF vs MK is something that I just canât see happening.<br>

On the other hand, if they actually wait until, next gen, it may not have been so bad a move, after all. That said, I donât expect DS:R to sell any better than the other digital titles. Vampire is well over 15 years old, people should be grateful folks still play Vampire, at all (or even inquire about it as much as they do). I canât think of single 90s fighter that people take as seriously as VSav, besides SFII (that is an unrecognized feat of greatness). I find it crazy that people always talk about this game like itâs not</span><b> old as hell, </b>thatâs easily the heaviest thing weighing it down.</div><div><font face=âArial, Verdanaâ size=â2â><span style=âline-height: normal;â><br></span></font></div><div><font face=âArial, Verdanaâ size=â2â><span style=âline-height: normal;â>All and all, I donât really care if they make a new DS, Iâd be intensely curious to see what theyâd do with it, but thatâs about it. I just think Capâs too short sighted to try and step beyond SF and crossovers when it comes to fighters (Vampire). They really donât see the damage they are doing to those franchises when they slap Ryu into every game as if Street Fighter is some infinite fail safe switch that can save a fighting game. </span></font></div><div><br></div>
not trying to be negative, but i donât think this game will happen, and even if it does, i donât think it would sell.
It could sell, if advertised correctly and having a âwowâ factor that draws in people. There are more people aware of darkstalkers (thx to GGPO as well as MVC3 and previous VS games) than ever before.
I think it could sell, too; for the same reasons as stated above. And if itâs the only fighter that Capcom releases for a while. I think itâd fair even better if Capcom didnât fuck it the hell up, but I just donât think theyâre capable of that getting beyond that last obstacle.

I actually like the original concept for Felicia as an African lioness queen (Shapeshifting Elena, basically). Iâve had a few other ideas since thenâŚ
-A Stephen King-esque author who writes horror novels. Bonus points if heâs voiced by the guy from the Resurrection trailers.
-The Gingerbread Man
-A Poltergeist made of kitchen appliances
Also, I truly hope that the winner of the character design contest doesnât make DS4. That âTomb Raiderâ design just comes off as a âf**k youâ to Anakaris.
If capcom makes another barebones game like sf4 or umvc3 it might sell a million copies. If the make a fully featured game like mk9 or injustice with tons of content they would make a lot more money. If they do another cash grab like sfxt theyll go out of business.
Hey! What if they drop the whole cast and create a new game called Darkstalkers: Evolution, with a roster composed of entirely brand new characters, a la Street Fighter III?
Yeah and look how well that turned out for SFIII in terms of sales. Outside of the hardcore fans, most didnât play it. I ainât saying some new characters wouldnât be welcomed. That would be very cool. But to just ditch the original roster all together? Imagine MK9 released without Scorpion, Sub Zero etc, or the new Killer Instinct without Fulgore, Jago, Orchid etc? Maybe re-design some of the original characters sure. I.E Lilith. She may not be a child but she looks and acts like one and is dressed provocatively and thatâs what matters. That needs to change. But no need to start from scratch.
Morrigan absorbed Lilith at the end of Savior, so really Lilith shouldnât be in the next game. If there was a DS4, Lilith shouldnât exist and Morrigan would be much more powerfulâŚperhaps we would see some of Lilithâs abilities along with her own.
What bout Victor and Jedah? they both died so does that mean they are not gonna make it to DS4? assuming there will ever be a DS4
Well it depends on which ending you look at. In Lilithâs ending she absorbs Morrigan right? Anyways I think Jedah and Victor would return. Lilith was always just a part of Morrigan and always destined to be reabsorbed when Morrigan was âreadyâ.
Plot can be explained to justify Lilith somehow. And, given how small the returning roster could even be, you could have a DS4 with half of the cast new without sacrficing old characters.
Morrigan absorbs her in either ending.
That said, it seems that Capcom wanted to treat them as being able to separate if need be. Remember her MvC1 intro? Both would appear and theyâd just merge.
Excellent point. The series has only 18 characters with only 15 playable in Savior. Itâs not like Street Fighter with a ridiculous amount of playable in the series. Probably well over 50. Darkstalkers roster should be expanded and a few old characters re-designed, not start over from scratch. Magegg has sugested this a few times. Wonder why heâs so hellbent on destroying the original cast?
Might as well throw in characters who might fit the series. IMO, Ruby Heart from MvC2, Tessa from Red Earth and maybe even Amingo from MvC2 could fit.
No reason they canât retconed their endings. Honestly Darkstalkers should go the re-boot route. The lore while down right fascinating to me was never really put into a well thought out story. Everythingâs vague and up in the air. Also the confliction with Demetri being the official main character and Morrigan being the unofficial main character. Whoâs story is whatâs canon for the series?
I think they should do a re-boot which has Morrigan as the main and explains the plot better and goes much deeper into the world of Makai. The other nobles, Belial, the world itself. They have all the pieces their with the lore. They just need to use it, and make sense out of it.
