DarkStalkers 4 Speculation

[Killer_Jigglypuff]

Capcom already has a witch character all loaded up and ready to go in Tabasa/Tessa from Red Earth/Warzard if they so chose.

They should totally do that.

[Hecatom]

I’d love a Van Hellsing type character, even though B.B. Hood is there. And maybe an evil scientist type character, similar to Dr. Baldhead.

But Faust is not evil

[Surenio]

Problem is some people enjoy the Darkstalkers art direction a great deal seriously the game animates BEAUTIFULLY even now and dislike the SFIV models greatly, it only makes sense for people to say things like “I hope it does have SFIV art style”…I mean I DO hope it does not have SFIV art style because I simply do not like it. At all. Marvel vs Capcom 3 style would fit better but even that isn’t ideal IMO but we will likely not be getting sprites.

My point was there’s 0 reason to believe it’ll resemble SF4 in style whatsoever. Absolutely zero. Capcom will render it in a brand new style that fits the game’s look/universe.

For how it looks, I’ll wait and see instead of speculatively cry expecting Dimps hands and bulges, demanding Aksys to make it in 2d etc.

FWIW by the time I complete the 3d model i’m working on in this thread, comparisons would and should be drawn.

Many other Red Earth characters could hang in DS as monsters as well. Leo (Beastman), Kongou (Oni), Hydron (Kraken), Lavia (Harpy), and so on.

why do people keep talking about Bengus/Akiman like they are two different people lol

[thecapsaicinkid]

I don’t dislike the SFIV/xT artstyle per se, I’m just not a fan of its garish use of colour and overall goofyness. Make it darker and it could be quite appealing.

The point is, most of the things people criticize the SFIV artsyle for are actually present in Bengus/CRMK’s original Darkstalkers art. As I said, Morrigan had man hands way before Chun Li.

Hey screw history this is the internet lol!

[SpaceOutNightmare]

Let me put it like this.

I WANT SPRITES.

SPRITES.

I don’t want 3D models, I don’t care if they have to hire niggas from Arcsys to make the sprites, I just want sprites.

If you think it will be sprites ya’ll are fooling yourself.
Capcom is done with sprite based games.
Pray for ONO’s career demise, because is the only way you get sprites back.

Thats not Ono’s fault, its the game industry in general ever since the PSX/N64 era 3D is the new hotness. Sprites are niche now.

BTW I hope they go all out with a proper story mode. Something along the lines of MK9 or even P4A.

[Zx-tole]

Lets make use of Amingo, Ruby Heart, and Ingrid and put them in… lol

[Tebbo]

arcsys sprites kind of suck.
not many frames of animation. very flat.

[leileilol]

My favorite CAPCOM artists are Bengus, Akiman, and CRMK

[ELSALVADORPOWER9001]

wasnt KOFs sprite process just spritework over 3d models anyway? sped up the process or so i heard

[Tebbo]

yeah they have a webpage that explains the process.

I would love to see no super freeze again, but i’m not getting my hopes up. It will be interesting to hear every character with english voice.
They should at least make Demitri muscular as hell. He has always looked ridiculously buff IMO.

[Noble_Cactus]

The arcsys sprites not having many frames of animation is something I’ve been trying to put my finger on yet couldn’t. Thanks for pointing that out.

I’m confused. I was under the impression Bengus and Akiman are two different people with two different histories at Capcom, and that Akiman isn’t just one of Bengus’ pseudonyms. Unless there’s an underlying subtext I’m not getting here.

Scott McNeil for L. Raptor. Please find a new VA for Hsien-Ko/Felicia, Capcom, if this is going to turn into a wishlisting thread.

New characters: Amingo, Ruby Heart, Tessa

Might just been a rumor that Amingo and Ruby were rejected DS characters

Worst case scenario: This will be SF4/SFxT with DS characters

Expecting the game will be a lot more flashy than the old titles so expect super flashes and cinematics with crazy zooming instead of the just your character flashing. Hopefully they don’t last 10-20 seconds but I doubt it.
