From Siliconera

Ono said that if you’ve been to these Comic-Con panels before, you’ll know that he’s asked fans to hold up $5 or $10 bills to show support for a Darkstalkers game and he snaps a photograph to take back with him to Capcom as evidence of fan support.

This time, however, Ono stated: "This year, you don’t have to do that, and it’s not necessarily bad news!" Ono then followed up, clarifying that he has to be careful what he says or he’ll get in trouble.

Lessss goooo

Vampire Saviour GGPO casuals, let's go!

GorySnake

After playing Vampire Saviour with Gus/Kiki, I really enjoyed the game and would look forward to a new Darkstalkers.

But only if Sasquatch or Spiderman is in it.

Fergus_

VSav is potentially the worst game I have ever played!

Nah it's fun, doesn't suit me though

K.O.Kiki

How can you not like it, half the cast are scantily-clad girls! :pac:

I remember we played it agggeeeeees a go on GGPO. DS is always good fun to play. I really like playing as Morrigan and Lillith.

About time this was finally confirmed.

Also, a combined rerelease of Darstalkers and Vampire Savior is coming to PSN. Hopefully these will have online capabilities because I never bothered buying the versions of DS and VS that are already available on PSN :pac:

To be honest I'm more hyped for this than for Darkstalkers Are Not Dead (brilliant title though).

Sairus

Less gooo

Though apparently DS4 still hasn't been confirmed, and that teaser is still just to gauge interest. They're watching the sales of Resurrection to decide whether or not to go through with it.

**** you Capcom. Trying to convince people to buy one of your upcoming games just so they can have the opportunity to buy another one is pretty assholish.

..while I say that I still plan on buying both Resurrection and DS4 when/if they get released, so my wailing means nothing.

Either way, I would be shocked if the game is not heavily in development already, regardless of bull**** sales pushing tactics.

Let's just all gather round and watch this instead.

Unfortunately unlike the US Street Fighter cartoon, this show is so bad it's actually unwatchable outside of the above clip reel.
It's one redeeming feature is Morrigan having a Scottish accent. I think this was her first English speaking appearance, so ggs horrible cartoon.

Doctor DooM

Yeah, because Capcom are exactly the type of company to go to all the expense of creating a CGI trailer (including modelling 2 characters) without having the project greenlit.

Not buying that for a second. I'll still buy both the games though.

deathrider

I've never actually played a Darkstalkers title, though I'm familiar with some of the cast from appearing in other games over the years. I'd certainly like to get stuck in and see what all the fuss is about. These sale tactics are cetainly bullsh1t, and just damn typical of Capcom really. Because of this, I'm already wondering if (the "unconfirmed") DS4 would my while, or if I should simply wait for a Super DS4.

deathrider

also, did my eyes deceive me or was there a person sitting at the top table in that vid, decked out in a Chun-Li outfit?...

Fergus_

Where Hsien?

This looks pretty cool, played a bit of VSav and if it plays anything like that with this current gen graphics, it's gonna be amazeballs.

UberPrinny_Baal

Guys don't get annoyed with Capcom for saying that sales of a product will affect the likelyhood of them making another new entry in the same series.

This is how virtually every company in the world works for every kind or media that exists (not just games).

The only difference is Capcom tells people these things and then gets bitched at for it. Say what you want of them, but they're very willing to entertain discussions of plans and answer questions (even if the answers are somtimes vague, they give them).

Honestly, if I was to put this in a newspaper headline it would be:

"Game company tells Gamers how reality works, Gamers enraged"

:rolleyes:

On topic, I've never played Darkstalkers. I'm pretty sure I own one of the PS1 games. I do know that a Monster Mash fighter is a cool premise, and Darkstalkers is often held up as an example of "How to do stuff correctly" for animation students. I think if 3S animation is held up for realism, Darkstallkers is praised for it's animation creativity.

That's pretty cool

The point is that they're most likely lying and the new entry is already in development but they're using the "convince us you want a new installment" angle to shift rereleases.

This is a great article that deals with the twelve main principles of animation using Darkstalkers as examples. Towards the end he dissects one of Q-Bee's attacks and it's amazing once you really look at it.

EDIT: I guess including the link might be useful: http://art-eater.com/2010/07/test-1-darkstalkers/

Some people don't think that's what is happening though.

No way Capcom, on past experiences, would go to the bother of making an expensive 3D rendered trailer with new character models and everything if the game wasn't in production.

They would say it is more likely Capcom is trying to get as many people as possible to buy the old game by withholding this fact.

Even if it isn't true, the fact that people assume it is- as you say, because it's Capcom- comes down to the terrible way they've handled everything since SFxT was first announced. I don't blame people for not trusting them.

Azza

Capcom just give us SF5.

Retr0gamer

I loved the Drakstalker games in the arcade, great Saturn conversions as well. Pity the PS1 conversions were dreadful.

Nah I don't agree.

Game development model is something like:

Prototype -> Greenlight -> Development -> Testing -> Distribution -> Marketing/Advertising -> Patching + Community relations

All we've seen is a CG trailer. Isn't the cardinal rule of Gamer Hype: "Ignore CG trailers, wait for in-game footage"?
What we've seen doesn't guarantee anything as far as Capcom committing resources and money to DS4. Some Capcom intern could have knocked that out on Maya in his free time.

Capcom even let people follow Megaman Legends 3 and that Megaman Online game process, and those were well into the prototype stage. They died at the greenlight stage, and that's still considerably further along than this one CG trailer.

I don't agree 100% that everything Capcom has done around SFxT has been THAT bad. Sure some stuff is bad, but that's a discussion for another topic.
I think a lot of their worst perceived moves would have been quite happily received by the communities with better communication/community management.

And come on, it's Ono presenting this to us. That poor guy practically worked himself to death for our sins.

He's like the FGC's personal Jesus!

Scavenger XIII

In any case I want to be excited for this but I've very little faith in Capcom these days, wait and see I guess.

At least we know the promotional material will be well made. :pac:

Darkstalkers Resurrection is being developed by Iron Galaxy Studios, and ... it will be available for $14.99 or 1200 MSP, depending on your system of preference.

Darkstalkers Resurrection will cost 2,990 yen ($37) in Japan.

Holy **** that's some markup.

K.O.Kiki

I'm sure some kindly soul can buy you European MSP.

chopperbyrne

Which he either won't be able to redeem in Japan or won't be able to use in Japan. Even if he gets someone to put them on his account at home, there's still no guarantee he'll be able to download the content while in Japan.

He'd have to get a USB key with his profile and the game downloaded to it posted to him.

K.O.Kiki

Oh, thought it worked like PSN.

Sairus

Nah, it's fine. My European account on PSN and XBLA is still connected to the EU stores, so I'll be able to get it for the EU price.
I can only see the Japanese pricing for things if I switch to my JP accounts.

I've been buying EU points with my credit card and getting stuff off XBLA all week.

Monkeyto

Me too, I use a HK account. Only IP locked from "full games".

This is the XBLA one featuring a few of the older games as opposed to a new one, yeah?

http://shoryuken.com/2013/02/14/darkstalkers-resurrection-set-for-release-in-north-america-on-march-12-for-psn-march-13-for-xbla/

More details:

Darkstalkers Resurrection will be releasing in North America on March 12 for PlayStation Network at $14.99, March 13 for Xbox LIVE Arcade at 1200 MSP. The compilation will available for both PSN and XBLA in Europe on March 13. The digital release will be available for $14.99/€14.99/£11.99 on PSN, 1200 MSP on XBLA. In Japan however, the game (releasing as Vampire Resurrection) will be available as a disc copy instead of a digital one and retails at 2990 yen.

Now that that's out of the way, how about some Darkstalkers-themed versions of your favourite terrible Valentine's Day puns?

Reminder: It's out this week.
