Darkstalkers doesn’t need new twelve new characters and it certainly doesn’t need to become the trash bin of fighting games. Dante, Vergil, Firebrand and Arthur can stay in Mahvel. Capcom also has terrible balancing issues. They need to stop making these fighters with a bloated cast unless it’s Mahvel. They clearly have trouble balancing large rosters in a half decent way for the first go in a series. I don’t want to see DS become a joke like SFxT has.
Capcom is also probably done with 2D unless it’s an outsourced project and it seems like they favor American devs since they are cheaper than Japanese devs(strong yen and all). That leaves us with 2 options… Netherrealm and Reverge. The latter is too busy and has not said a single word about a new project. The former is far too outlandish a partner, even for Capcom.
They can approach Vampire Savior by making it HD with Niitsuma’s team and MT framework on steroids for 1v1 fights.
They have the series just sitting there, yet they whore out Morrigan in just about every Capcom crossover game. Because Darkstalkers is about this hotter-than-sex succubus who wanders around looking for some entertainment and likes to appear in most of Capcom’s crossover games. Oh, it also has a cat-girl who…um…does cat-girl things? And this Chinese vampire chick, she uh…
Well last time I checked Morrigan was one of the main characters, I’m sick of people always bashing Morrigan just because of her popularity Capcom learned Darkstalkers is just as much as Morrigan’s territory as it is Demitri’s, they tried games without her and they sucked .
I think there’s a possibility they’ll make it more like Hunter than Savior. Hunter was the most commercially successful game of the series. You wouldn’t know it today, but back when Savior was first released it drew a lot of flack from fans of the series and drove many of them away. I think it’s telling that those Monster Hunter skins they released not too long ago were specifically advertised as being from “Vampire Hunter”; not “Vampire” (i.e., the series in general) or “Vampire Savior” (the most recent game in the series).
If this does get announced I really hope it doesn’t have the same UGLY ASS graphics as SFxT and SF4.
Also, do you think Capcom would just use the MvC3 character models for the Darkstalkers characters?
I think Capcom is too weary of putting out another fighting game, especially since they quoted “Genre cannibalism” as a reason for SFxT not selling well. Couple that with the fact that Vampire Savior is more obscure that the huge Street Fighter brand, and I just done see this game being made; although I’d really like to.
Morrigan was always a main character the boobs was just extra, her storyline was the only consistent and followed all the way up to Saviour. Yes half of it always has to do with Roster. Felicia was only in one game outside her own and the Marvel series which was the same one that brought the other “Fan favorites” and look how well it did . Contrary to popular belief there are others out there that care more about characters story-wise then what they look like, if thats the case I assume Vergil probably made it in Marvel because of his giant penis. If I wanted to decide between a Wolf who can’t control himself vs. a dimension ruling succubus who manages to be on the same power level as Akuma I think the Succubus would win.
The only Capcom-Produced Crossover fighter with Demitri was CFE, which was hated mostly for gameplay reasons.
The fact Demitri was playable in an SNK-produced crossover game before Capcom is ridiculous.
There is no way Akuma is approaching in power level.
But I’d rather have Q-Bee, Lord Raptor, Jedah, BB Hood, Anakaris, Talbain.
[details=Spoiler]And Morrigan is less fun to play as than Demitri. THAT BAT SPIN AND DEMON BILLION.
