Darkstalkers: Support Ono with the franchise's revival

What is up with people NOT wanting a new Darkstalkers game?

what the hell does this even mean

does anyone here actually understand what a game engine is

the last remnant was made on the unreal 3 engine how come it isnt about running around and shooting stuff in a first person perspective??? zuh???

Didn’t think I’d have to quote myself in the same thread, but yeah polarity. You should know better than to give SRK any credit.

Word…now, if they’d just put in everything they plan to do for ssf4, I’d have bought that shit, cuz it looks like they spent actual EFFORT on it. Would be nice if they got rid of these dumbass “joke” characters Capcom seems to like putting into sf games (3rd Strike version of Sean, Sf4’s Rufus and Dan). Make that shit ALL serious.

lol @ people not getting the engine is flexible with multple examples in the last few pages. There isn’t a reason NOT to get a new DS if ono is going to make it. I’d like to see it comeback as faithful as possible. Maybe they could get in contact with the original Dev team for advice? I imagine that would be a good way to go about it.

That’s because almost everyone who still plays Vampire plays on GGPO.

If the SF4 Darkstalkers ever happen, and get a PC port, at least we get to enjoy Nude skins for Morrigan and Felicia (for the furries) :wow:

I appears not…

Anyway, I agree with TvC probably having the best engine to do a new DS game. It’s the closest thing to resembling the CPS2 which afterall, is what the series was limited to. SFIV was made more to resemble the realistic art style in SFII, rather than actual comic book characters. I’d much prefer to see them cell shaded and something that actually looks like it’s part of the CPS2 series; something which, from what I gather, SFIV has no relation to art wise. It would be especially nicer when the Wii HD rolls around, instead of being limited to low resolution 480i…

The TVC engine is probably very tied to Wii hardware though, since even the arcade version is kinda on a Wii of sorts.
Imagine the outrage from some if a new Darkstalkers was made a Wii exlusive :rofl:

What is this Wii HD you speak of?

I think Ono can only get better. I’m all for a new one.

I would sure as hell like to be a beta tester for the game before it comes out, however. Or at least get someone who would know the series inside out like some of the players from japan or something. But hey wat do I know?

if ono makes it, that would be the reason to NOT get it. He makes everything easier for scrubs when this game was made for hardcore players. There are scrub friendly games out there, not every game needs to be toned the fuck technically down so granny jones can do a reversal w\o any practice. The genre has gotten no where since 1996-1999. The fighting game series was faster then than it is now which is damn near close to 15 years later. Why the hell are they slower when they should be getting faster and more technical? it doesn’t make any sense.

The only people I would trust to do it is the original DEV team. They understood the tempo of the game really well and the game itself is incredibly balanced which I’m sure they intended. You can tell by the way the characters are designed and how they reflect every other characters options. Personally, I hate the lack of solid AA for every character but the engine mechanics make it so that every character can use the engine to manipulate options.

Who knows WHAT ono would do before he did it? You are too pessimistic about the situation. New darkstalkers > no darkstalkers. Not saying I want any one to mess the game up and Ill just get it regardless but, we dont know how it will come out until it comes out. SSF4 as an example, the team took lots of input from us here on srk and it seems like the are interested in getting sf back to its roots with this new iteration. How will we know how it will come out untill we play it though?

The thread title needs to be changed STAT.

People are being blinded by the “SF4 engine” part.

Change it to simply “Show support for a possible new Darkstalkers game”.

ono were getting scammed again

if it looks anything like sfiv - do. not. want.

sfiv has some shitty ass grpahics, and most, if not all characters have their ugliest incarnations in sfiv. you all think that morrigan and felicia are gonna look uber hot…look at all the sfiv girls…

Also, there’s newer stuff, like 2 button grabs, that I dont want to see in DS.

sigh

:bluu:

Just stop talking. You make it sound like Ono’s gonna make DS exactly like SFIV (evident from your grab comment).

OBVIOUSLY, this DS probably will have a different graphic style and gameplay mechanics from SFIV. If you didn’t know, engines are QUITE FLEXIBLE.

Refer to Varleran’s post to educate yourself on engines: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=7601749&postcount=131

Im all for DS, but how good do you think that title will sell in the US outside the competitive crowd?

And on the whole engine thing, Stubbs the Zombie on Xbox was made with the Halo 2 engine.

1 button grabs have to be the scrubbiest engine mechanic ever. I jump around in VS all day hitting j.mp because 1 its a vertical move and 2, its a throw. If the opponent is below me, I double option select his ass with a detached hit box and if he’s to close, its a throw. I didn’t even have to think about it, just hit the button and work off it.

I get to throw you + throw a normal out if it misses? easiest double option select ever.

ono’s track record speaks for itself. He wants to create a popular game by dumbing the engine down and allowing more people to play it rather than those who have to practice to play, we talkin bout practice here. He did it with sf4 and it sold well, he’ll use the same formula again to sell as many games as possible which I’m sure he has some incentive to do monetarily speaking. @ this point, its no longer about the game but rather how much money ono and capcom can scrape up.

look what they did with the next gen mvc2 for the ps3\x360. They released a POS port knowing full well it was giong to be bad. They didn’t give a fuck about the game and just wanted to make some money. If they had made the game right from the start, the current patch could of been used to improve net play or improve the FPS dropping. Rather, the time and money is going to tweak the game that should of been done right in the first place.
