Hell no don’t give DS the SFIV art style…that’ll flipping kill the game. 2D is how the series will keep it’s charm, but if they wanted it to be more 3D, I’d say take notes from TvC or Battle Fantasia; i.e. make it 2.5d i.e. give it some 3D attributes but keep the colour and 2d design prevalent.
In terms of gameplay they shouldn’t even look SFIV’s way and just make it traditional DS style with a few minor changes we can appreciate. I say not to change the system much because it wasn’t appreciated back then so it needs to be appreciated now before they do anything drastic.
pretty sure it still gets heavy play in japan and if a new version is to be released after all this time, it might knock off VS. I don’t want another watered down version so scrubs can play. The challenge to play this game @ high level is the lure.
It’s gonna be hilarious if they ruin the series’ (awesome) art with SF4’s gross character models, deformed hands, screwed-up anatomy and general lack of artistic taste. You might think it weird to find someone that cares so much about “style” in a fighter, but Darkstalkers is sort of special to me in that regard - It boggled my mind when I first saw it (lord knows how many years ago), it looked like a cartoon you could play, fluid as shit, colorful, badass character designs (Jedah is probably my favorite Capcom character, appearance-wise, to this day), and all these elements coming together to produce one of Capcom’s best-looking 2D fighters ever.
I doubt they’ll do anything sprite based so maybe something similar to TVC’s art style. I think Darkstalkers should retain an anime like presentation in HD. Make it a fast game, SF4 is slooow.
Keep the game mechanics the same. Don’t go 2.5 or 3D. Just 2D sprites are needed at HD resolution (a la BlazBlue and KoF.)
My reasoning for this: The game mechanics in Vampire/Darkstalkers is already top notch. Almost every game after DS/Vampire had a variation of the combo system, e.g. Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, the Marvel series. Even Alpha 1 had chain combos similar to those in DS/Vampire. They had ES specials before SF4 had EX moves.
I am sorry for ranting, but the only thing needed in this game are new character sprites, a few more character ( maybe 5 or 6,) a bunch of hidden stuff like in DS3 and pack it with the Darkstalkers OVA. (I think I will go and fire up my Dreamcast or my Saturn and give Talbain a go.
What the fuck!! every time a Virtual fighter thread is posted a Vampire savior thread appear wtf
is like deja vu, now waiting for smash kids to post why smash is a fighting game.
I like Vampire Savior a lot, despite not being good at it. I pop into GGPO, but most of the time no one is even there. I’ll continue to try and go in more often and play. If there was a new game, I’d play it a lot for sure…even if it looks like SF4!!
So are you saying you want another version of SF4 with more spinny ultras and mashable Dragon punches? Sadly this game would have to ride SF4’s coattails in order to generate hype…weither it be Ono as the producer or simular SF4 graphics (they can improve on this). I think the game could turn out well.
No one has really answered the question, of who they would like see head the project…if it were to become a reality.
But TvC graphics? Not unless they improve upon it.
