Darkstalkers Revamp SF4 style! Player feedback needed!

[Maximum_Spaniard]

off-topic: Pretty much seconded, most of the games I was looking forward too turned out to be pure ass: NG2 and SFIV being the major reason why I dropped out of this gen. Only game that even peaks my interest is Bayonetta and I’m not gonna buy a console just to play one game.

On-Topic: Why not make a full 3D game instead of 2.5 D bullshit?

Because capcom cant top sega virtua fighter unfortunately sega can market a game for feces even bayonetta is getting hype through word of mouth not advertising

To be honest I would rather see it remixed like they did with SF:II just balance and changes in gameplay mechanics

BB style sprites and full 2D for me pls

But to respond to the haters, I’d love to see this series get the ‘2.5D’ treatment. That said, I share the same concerns with polygon counts for the fighters, and for the same reasons. The whole ‘arm morphs into X’ routine for an attack (I mean, try morphing a humanoid robot model into a spiked top, FFS) would either bloat the sizes of the models, require less variety in attacks, or force a quality drop in the ‘standard’ model (and Huitzil or Pyron realized in 3D would be godlike).

I don’t think it would be that much of a problem, just difficult. Motion Blur, shaders and texture filters can go a loooong way to making any complicated 3D animation bite-sized and console-friendly.

Obviously it’d be way harder than making a game like SFIV look good, but if they did it, it’d sure be some kind of epic achievement in move from sprite artwork to 3D models.

Nope it’s Vampire Saviour (Darkstalkers 3)

And yeah come try it, it’s pretty fun.

Thanks!

So, got VS1 & 2. If anyone’s in for a match, I’m Eksh on both GGPO and 2df, preferring 2df though, and I’m online there now

I agree.

If that happens, hopefully we can get a re-release of Vampire Savior on XBLA after that.

Ono said he was interested in making a 2.5D Darkstalkers, but how does Capcom even know a game like that would sell? Darkstalkers wasn’t popular in the US, and in Japan its got a small scene.

Im 100% positive VS was a hit in japan. It was @ SBO for a few years as a tourney game so that within itself meant it had an above average scene. As a matter of fact, it still gets good play in japan today.

I believe it was stated in this thread or another thread about VS that this game was over shadowed by SF @ the time. Many US players missed out on this game including myself. It wasn’t until I played it on DC randomly one day that I learned how good the game is. Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played 2d\3d. If VS had came out during an era where SF wasn’t dominating the scene, the americans would of probably been playing it.

This game was big in Japan, but console fighters don’t sell well over there. Heck, most of the top players only play at the arcades (Daigo refuses money matches VS console characters:looney:). And it seems that the arcade scene is getting weaker over there.
Not that I wouldn’t want a new DS game:party:.
