Also, DS was never about hardcore violence. It was cartoony violence at it’s finest.
If anything it’s a parody of hardcore violence. Think Team Fortress 2.
Why does everybody seem to forget that Vampire Savior on the Sega Saturn was a thing that happened?
That game was THE REASON I bought a Saturn, and it was one of the very first games I got with it (along with Die Hard Arcade). Sure, it was a Japanese only release, but if you weren’t importing Japanese games for your Saturn, then you weren’t getting even half the fun out of it.
No loading times, no missing animations, all the characters (including Donovan, Phobos and Pyron), all the Dark Forces, and you can even change it to English mode if English win quotes are important to you. If Capcom ported this version of the game, with decent netcode, it’d be amazing.
However, porting a Saturn game to modern consoles wouldn’t be easy. It would take time and effort. Something that Capcom just ain’t willing to give. Until then, posting links to PSX ISO files it is.
Still play vamp aside from IRL priorities? I havent been on a min but I always miss playing this hoe. I would like to have a few sets which cha again. BTW didnt know you played Marvel like that…hmm.
There is missing animations and combos that are not possible on the arcade board(aka equivalent to a snk dreamcast port). The only thing close to a port that was arcade perfect was Hunter with a 4 meg cart and only on mirror matches.
As for the ps2 version, the problem with the ps2 version is that there is input delay when there is 2 players playing.
I didn’t forget the Saturn version and neither have people on the SRK or Siliconera comments. It’s just that most people barely even remember the Saturn and the collection was apparently a solid effort. It doesn’t surprise me that people remember those JP versions. Damn, I wish there were an American release for the collection. I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
Fake edit: Yeah, I had no idea that the PSP version also had load times. It seems like the only options are the PS2 collection or a Saturn port. What are the chances of this happening for an OE? Probably not very good…
Doesn’t sound like we’ll ever be happy with anything they make at this rate(especially you).
What is wrong about pointing out problems with the ports?
Also, pc emulators run too fast.
He kind of is. Holy fuck if an idiot calls somone out on their credentials expect them to get brought up.
Porting the Saturn version would take more effort than Backbone “porting” the CPS2 version.
Not to be captain obvious here, but dual SH-2’s a bitch; why make a translation port of a faithful port when you can make a new port of the original?
I will be especially upset if Darkstalkers loses any of it’s charm. It’s almost like Capcom’s answer to a goofier Mortal Kombat.
Really? So then VSAV on GGPO is actually faster than the arcade version?
Sasquatch
Q-Bee if you wanna play Magneto
Yep, it has been known for awhile mightymar, diar, Rotanibor, every popular Japanese player that plays on ggpo will say it is faster. Hell, B-izm won’t even play on ggpo cause of it.
Wow. Now I feel kind of proud of myself considering how well I used to perform on GGPO.
I hope they’d do more than just port the CPS2 version, though.
It’d be nice if they would just revisit the concept of PS2 Darkstalkers Collection. Except, avoid all the problems that happened with it (I dunno what the problems were, because I never got it - but apparently there were some), give it netcode, and slap some HDTV filter on it. Bam. I’d pay good money for V, VH, VS, VS2 and VH2 all together in one digital package with netcode for all of them. I personally always hoped they’d do something similar for X-Men, MSH, XvSF, MSHvSF and MvC1. (Maybe even throw the CPS1 Punisher game on there while they’re at it.)
That’s one of the problems with Capcom - they fail the execution on some of their games, and then they think the concept was bad and they never revisit it. Like Capcom Fighting Evolution - it wasn’t a bad concept, it just had bad execution (or more accurately, NO execution). If they made a new Capcom Fighting Evolution that didn’t look or play like hot garbage, it’d be fucking great.
Ok I know Im MAD late but the new generation of MVC3 players wouldn’t fucking dare touch a game like MVC2. MVC2 had so much complexity that it wasn’t even funny. I can say the same thing with SF4 players going back to play 3S or ST. Fucking old school players would mopped them boys up so fast that they would go right back to “insert game here”. Trust me. I seen it too many times. Niggas in my scene like, “Dude I want to learn MVC2”, I teach them what I know and then I mop these niggas up with zero practice in the game since April of 2011 and they quit. And I’ve ONLY been playing since late 2008. Imagine if they played someone from 2002 or god forbid someone like Justin Wong. They might quit playing video games lol.
Also, the previous generation still play the new games. Jason Cole still plays AE, Alex Valle is currently trying SFxT, Justin is playing everything known to mankind, Daigo has been hopping around from game to game, Sanford is about to go back to Tekken and he is learning MVC3, and even Xecutioner (excuse the spelling if I spelled it wrong) got into a money match with Omg itz Andre in a game he NEVER touched after playing MVC2 for so long. These old school players are open minded for sure; however it doesn’t stop them from thinking the game is ass. /rant
Anyway, I really hope that a DS4 comes out or possibly a VS on XBLA comes out, regardless of who makes the game. I have always been interested in the DS series and I would love to play it.
Already addressed, Cee. They try the games, get stomped by the people with 10+ years experience, then leave. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t try them.
Also, I could have sworn that Sanford gave up MVC3 after he claimed the game was scrub friendly and got mopped by Noel Brown at Evo.
the desire to get better is what makes people practice. some have it, some dont, some say they have it but really don’t and instead whine on SRK
Sanford said that he is gonna play TTT2 and that he is actually gonna sit down and learn Ultimate because he got scraped by Noel lol.
Fixed.
You’re right. I play 3S from time to time because I’m interested in learning Dudley. I practiced at MVC2 because I wanted to make Gambit, Cable, Cyclops, CapCom, and Guile work. Everybody doesn’t share that thought process, though.
He’ll just bitch and whine whenever he loses, like he does with every other game.
he can whine all he wants
