DARKSTALKERS RESURRECTION coming to XBLA and PSN

Yet to try the Bulleta infinite in Saviour.
The only videos for Rikuo #5 state they are using turbo controllers, meaning NOT arcade sticks. They even had to use the pause exploit to complete it…
Is it even possible with a stick? Even utilizing the gas/ sonic glitch, the forward dash cancel from back dash seems impossible.

Has anyone else been having trouble uploading replays to YouTube lately? Seems most of the time the game fails to upload anything at all. Last night I was able to upload a few replays from a few months back, but I couldn’t upload the rest this morning.

It’s funny this topic has like 30,000+ views but not even half that number bothered to buy Darkstalkers Resurrection.

The fighting community should all buy the Darkstalkers Resurrection version (PS3 or X360, or both), the GGPO on that is great too. And PSN and XBL could use a Darkstalkers community online. I still see some people doing ranked matches. If anything this holiday season, more people should buy and play Darkstalkers Resurrection, it may not be the perfect port w/ Darkstalkers 3 standard roster people are looking for (I mean let’s admit it, DS3 set the standard for the full roster, and maybe the Saturn version if you want to count that. People can say the arcade perfect versions are better for tournament play, but people praise flavors more than “arcade” standard competition.

A fighting games aren’t totally balanced, so DS3 could have gotten more people to get Darkstalkers Resurrection, but regardless, it does deserve more sales and fans. Capcom did put more effort into it than anything since the PS1/Saturn versions and Chaos Tower, so it does deserve more sales and support if Darkstalkers fans really want a Darkstalkers 4, it’s not too late since it’s still up on PSN and XBL, and the new gen consoles aren’t going to start going mainstream until 2015. So the entire fighting genre community for that matter, should prioritize support over entitlements. Just about every Darkstalkers fan is a Street Fighter fan, SF purists should support this game/bundle too. If we had SF4 series sales numbers for Darkstalkers Resurrection, that could really influence a Darkstalkers 4.

Yea people can argue Capcom made a mistake with how they delivered this edition, but people are also making a mistake being so picky how it’s served, that their inaction is causing DS4 to not be a priority. If everyone that signed petitions and even mild interest in a DS4, they would buy Darkstalkers Resurrection and prove to Capcom there is enough demand to promote this series with a big budget project and sequel.

Of course if people just doubt, then of course nothing gets off the ground. People can be stubborn, but they are their own worst enemy. If Darkstalkers community (and fighting game community in general that wants a DS4 that rivals SF4 series production values) really want DS4 to be priority, it’s still up in the PSN/XBL store. (another company like Konami would pull it off the market like I think they are doing with Skullgirls).

but yea if people set aside their entitlements and excuses already owning DS3, already owning ____ DS game, and buy this for themselves, for their friend, and everyone that signed petitions and all for a DS4, all buy Darkstalkers Resurrection, that could have a positive impact. and the bigger the sales, the more Capcom will realize how serious and how badly people want DS4. Words don’t reach companies like money does.

And total sales are not limited to launch window sales.
The best petition would be more than enough people buying Darkstalkers Resurrection instead of
just allowing Capcom to keep the series in a back corner somewhere.

Just like Resident Evil and Street Fighter fanbase is always faithful and buying every edition, DLC and resold milked edition/port keeping the series a priority, the fighting community can help do the same for Darkstalkers also.

but people have to actively buy and play Darkstalkers Resurrection (the learning curve isn’t friendly like modern games, but it’s still very playable) and keep it relevant within communities like shoryuken.com and eventhubs as well. There is a lot of quality gaming in Darkstalkers Resurrection, and now is the best time for the community to make a comeback and show Capcom that Darkstalkers does matter and it’s worth investing in a DS4.

Capcom already stated they are upset about the sales, but it’s still on the market, any amount of people can buy it right now if they wanted to.

If 100,000+ people bought it on PSN/XBL (just like the hundreds of thousands of people bought Call of Duty Ghosts and other things in the digital market), we could really have Capcom take the Darkstalkers fans seriously to give the Darkstalkers 4 idea a second chance.

Not sure how much sales Capcom would need to convince them, but considering people throw money at $60 games that they play and shelf the same week, it wouldn’t hurt to donate support through buying Darkstalkers Resurrection, instead of just sitting there without faith.

And for only $15, even just the vanilla arcade ports are a steal at that price, especially considering the quality GGPO branded online, and other added features, if people think that’s too much, then
the industry is doomed, eventually people expect videogames to be free or the price of a donut, and the industry can’t survive and develop like that, there would be nothing but lame smartphone games.

Tons of money is dumped on kickstarter things that don’t even have the replay value and quality this offers. If the communities don’t unite with supporting Darkstalkers Resurrection, then they are basically proving Capcom “right”, that there is too little interest to make a DS4 matter. So is that what the fighting community wants? They prefer the market to remain stagnant with overused SF/ASW/Namco/Tecmo franchises while ignoring franchises like Darkstalkers that deserves to become mainstream as well?

The crossroads still have two paths.

Either communities really start buying and support Darkstalkers Resurrection, Capcom’s ultimatum to determine whether or not to make DS4,

or communities just give up on a franchise that deserves more attention and support.

Maybe people think there will be another case when Capcom might test the market again with Darkstalkers, but why wait then instead of letting them know now through sales how much the Darkstalkers franchise is loved?

Vampire Savior was released in 1997. That is 16 years ago. They have had numerous ports/rereleases and many here have bought them, sometimes multiple times. Are they supposed to throw $15 just for the small chance that Capcom may make a Darkstalkers 4? Even though they would be buying the same game they already own?

Even if we put a ton of monies behind a DS4, Capcom still wouldn’t make it. Fact of the matter is, Capcom, like a lot of Japanese companies, is beginning to turn to cheap, microtransaction-riddled mobile games as a stronger business model than the high-budget risks that have served them very poorly in the recent past. It is in no way a viable business model, but try telling that to the suits over in Japan. Want to know what all the Darkstalkers have been up to since Savior?

-Anakaris: Japanese mobile game that basically amounts to fucking Bejeweled
-Demitri Maximoff: Character in Project X Zone
-Felicia: Numerous appearances repping Darkstalkers. And of course, a mobile game…
-Lord Raptor: Appeared in Project X Zone
-Morrigan Aensland: MvC3, X Zone, TvC, and MORE MOBILE GAMES
-Rikuo: Seriously, wtf is with Capcom and mobile games… And, you know, the “curiously attractive” meme
-Sasquatch: Okay, this is getting stupid now… AND CAPCOM MADE A SEQUEL TO THAT TOO
-Hsien-Ko: MvC3, X Zone, and WELL GOD DAMMIT
-Jedah Dohma: X Zone
-Q-Bee: X Zone (Generic Enemy)
-Anyone Not Mentioned: Jack Shit

I think you can see a pattern here…
Seriously, why did we get so many low budget mobile spinoffs but never a sequel?

@jedpossum

Can you send some Vsav ggpo training tools my way?

FBA - Rerecord

Old-ass Vsav script.

Jedpossum. For some reason whenever I try to run a lua script in fba-rr the emulator just crashes. Is there anything I’m doing wrong?

Thanks for posting the link though.

Try running the blitter on basic and having all those dlls in the same folder as the fba-rr exe.

If that doesn’t work I’ll have to make a special version that removes the scrolling input display.

Also if you know how to use mame you could just use mame-rr instead.

That works!!! I switched my blitter video option to basic. Thanks a lot. That should make Jojo and Savior practice more fun for sure.

They had a window like microsoft did owning rare and the killer instinct property…if they planned out darkstalkers for xbox one and ps4 on release and the only capcom fighting game on next gen, they would have had there window to push darkstalkers into more living rooms…instead the spent alot on what is it deadrising 3

I’ve been following pretty much every DS related article,thread, and comments that follow but the whole no DS4 thing is always the chicken or egg arguement.

camp A - Capcom and white knights: We delivered DS:R and it ‘didn’t sell to expectations’. You guys asked for it, we put in so much effort but you fans didn’t buy it enough. So fuck you guys, no DS4 for you. usually followed by a whiteknight that starts lecturing ‘how Capcom is a business and video games cost millions of $s to make u know, they can’t afford to take risks you guys don’t know anything blah blah’

camp B - The ones that wanted DS4: No shit it didn’t sell well, a 17year old, unadvertised, relatively unknown, digital title with less content than the PS2 port (minus online), that could be emulated. Nobody fucking asked for that. And they using this to guage the future of DS franchise? gtfo.

I personally do not like how Capcom holds DS4 hostage over and over to try to sell DS:R.
I also disagree how the only way to show support for DS4 is to buy an obsolete digital title for $15. Its sending a wrong message to Capcom.
Make DS4 something that appeals to the mass ala SF4. Make DS4 something unique and high quality that it spread by word of mouth. Make DS4 something that people will keep playing and it sells long term. DO NOT make some half-assed pile of shit riddled with things people with hate on (SFxT).
I know this is easier said than done for Capcom @ 2013.

I see challengers trying something new within the FG realm, pushing a forgotten franchise(killer instinct) with a drastically new marketing model on nextgen launch. Meanwhile Capcom is blaming ‘market saturation’ or ‘fans didnt respond’ for their own short comings.

Market saturation? Capcom has an entire untapped market for fighters in next-gen consoles with no strong competitors for PS4 and KI on Xbone. Now is the perfect time to make a new fighter, since the community is still abuzz from the last generation.

Quit talking out of your ass want to know a game that sold well despite being quite easily emulated?

Street Fighter 2:Hyper Fighting even back in 2006 or 07. Cps1 was easily emulated and you could play online as well.

Guess what was used as a gauge for a new street fighter?
Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting.

The thing is nobody in the vampire scene cares for a new game anymore, except you. Where you go on a long tangent over a post from a known troll.

I bought my 360 and ordered a bunk cheap hori stick imported when hyper fighting dropped,madcats te were not in the game yet, the thought of you could play people in sf around the world made me buy a console

Then your dreams were crushed when you found out how awful it lagged right?
(same case here, bought PS3 for tekken 5 DR Online, how naive I was)

If I recall, wasn’t GGPO created as a response to how laggy SFII Hyper Fighting online was on Xbox Live?
