Except Ono specifically mentioned a DS game, not a versus game. If someone mentioned a specific possibility of making a VS game with enough fan support, then I’d be signing up for that as well.
But, no one has done that, so it’s not an issue.
Well, I remember a while ago when there were talks about Cvs3 being a possibility as well. Either way I’d be happy with a new capcom game, but I wouldn’t like the sfiv engine to be reused cringes.
Fuck having another Versus game.
Isnt Tatsunoko vs Capcom coming to the States or has it already? Thats a Versus game. When was the last DS game? Shit years. Also, MVC2 is on PSN and Live WITH online.
C’mon now, let the DS fans get a game in for once.
i dont liek the crazy style of vs games.
i want a proper fighting game.
bring on ds.
I just want to throw something out there. I do NOT want a a fucking burst mechanic in the new DS game if it gets made. That would infuriate me.
Erm, TvC?
VS is perfect as it is. Come join us on GGPO if you really like this game!
I meant a sequel to the already popular ones, but yes you’re right. TvC coming out as a wii exclusive makes me forget it exists. Even though I really like it.
Also, im wondering why if this game is popular why is the ggpo room always empty? :looney:
I for one would love a new Darkstalkers and welcome any work Ono puts in that direction. It had a unique atmosphere, a fun cast of characters and great music.
I think it deserves a chance to get exposure again. That and Rival Schools.
lol @ people that came in here just to hate on a ds4 vs another game being made. Ono expressed interest in making a new Darkstalker game specifically. Don’t like that? Plent of other threads to waste a post in : /. Anyways, I’d like to see ds4 come back with mechanics in all the good previous Ds, tech block, gc, multiple supers, wake up tech game and up-tempo play (vs like preferably). I liked how vs never really gave you breather in between rounds, also how the life system worked with red/white damage and how it made you choose between great temp damage or solid lower damage. I really wonder what new they could bring to DS to take it into a new generation of gamers + making it appealing for everyone.
VS is gdlk. I may have not been super good at it, but the game is hella fun. Give me a new one. Only thing I ask for is HD 2D graphics, but I won’t get that. I’ll still play it.
As long as it has all of the characters.
If they do this, I hope they look to Vampire Hunter for inspiration rather than Vampire Savior. That game had the best production values of the series and I much prefer the simpler, more SF2-like engine.
The game just needs to be done HD Remix style (art only and MAYBE music). Other than that, keep Vampire Savior the same old VS it was. VS is too gdlk.
I wonder how much demand is needed for the higher ups to green light a redone VS?
If he does bring the franchise back,then I would like to see the following done:
1.A better story mode-it should take place after the events of DS3 with that baby Jedah brought back to life in his ending as either the end-boss or mid boss.
2.3RD Strike style graphics–We’ve been BEGGING for years to change Morrigan’s animation sprite.Every game she’s been in,we’ve seen the 94 animation don’t how many times.Time for a change.
3.Keep the system intact-chain combos,old-school link combos,everything.This should be left alone.
4.Bring Jedah & Donovan back nuff said
do you know that they were happy when CPS3 died ?
Vampire was created by a company within this time no longer exists.
The drive of the new artistic style and gameplay for cps2 drove that.
While I welcome solely a face lift in Vampire Hunter or Vampire Savior 2D/ HD department
going 3D or game play changes are a horrible thought.
This title just cannot be touched by today’s Capcom (sigh SF4) those characters deserve
nothing less than hand drawn animation and their already fun addictive game play.
so in short as avid Vampire fan, I vote for HD, without the remix.
HD 2D is far from a guarantee of it looking good though…
glances at HD Remix and MKV
They might be tempted to use UDON again. I mean, do Capcom even have any other 2D people left?
But if they could hire SNK, Arc or Vanillaware to do it, that’d be great.
Just because a game uses a 3D GRAPHICS ENGINE, does not mean it has 3D Gameplay.
Know that graphic designers do not do the same job as those that program the game play system and mechanics.
Case in point, strip away all of the graphics from Street Fighter IV, and all that is left is 2D hitboxes.
Just the same if one was to remove all the graphics from HDR and all that remains is again 2D hitboxes.
You can make proper Darkstalkers game using the engine that Street Fighter IV uses, the only adjustments that would be required are the game’s speed.
Darkstalkers overall was somewhat more faster paced then Street Fighter.
What separates Street Fighter IV from games like Tekken, Virtua Fighter, or even Soul Calibur which are true 3D Fighters is that at it’s very core the SFIV gameplay engine still uses 2D hitboxes (you could keep Street Fighter IV identical as it is, remove everything and simply leave dots to represent the characters and one would not be able to tell the difference)
Minding that the game plays like Darkstalkers, keeps essence of what makes it Darkstalkers game, the mechanics of a Darkstalkers game, then the game could essentially be a Darkstalkers title regardless how it’s presented on a visual level.
Minding they keep the game to using 2D hitboxes for attacks, to retain the core of what makes a 2D fighting game (controlling space), and Darkstalkers could be presented in a way that casual players that have never even heard of the series could also be interested in picking it up.
Remember to Capcom it’s all about the sales, they are a business. The more people that buy this game, the more they consider it a success, this would just be another nudge to convince Ono’s superiors that the Fighting Game genre is capable enough to contend with other mainstream games. The expansion of the community and bringing potentially even more fighting games introduced to the market is a good thing.
And even if a NEW Darkstalkers game (NEW as in all entirely new, and not simply a remake, rehash, or re-release of an old game) is what stems from his efforts, then that makes it all the more worthwhile.
