New Capcom game (Darkstalkers Reboot?)

A-Trak · 06-07-2010 04:36PM #1

New Capcom fighter in the works,

Please please be Darkstalkers, (One of Ono's favourites ever apparently.)
Link here

Street Fighter 4 producer Yoshinori Ono is working on a new game and by the sound of things it's going to be mega.

On Saturday Ono tweeted: "Super SF4 on sale!! SuperSF4 is nothing compared to what's coming!!"

Last week Ono appeared to reveal that a project he presented to the big cheeses at Capcom Japan had been green-lit.

"I did it! My presentation was successful," Ono tweeted along with a picture of a smiling head of global R&D Keiji Inafune.

Speculation is rife that the game is a reboot of vampire fighting game Darkstalkers, a series Ono is known to love.

When asked by a follower about Darkstalkers, Ono replied: "I'm left speechless yet..... Shhhh."

I think it's pretty much confirmed as a new Darkstalkers game and I for one couldn't be happier!

Paul you said you had a copy of one of the darkstalkers games and that it was good craic , would love to try it, deffo bring it to the next casual event or day of the champs or whatever.

Hoorah! I loves my Darkstalkers, despite my playing very little of it. Cant wait to see if this pans out!
DS Chronicles on PSP is one of my most played titles on that yoke.

EDIT: Capcom Europe are also saying something about a huge announcement in 2 days.

Nice, but then everyone will just play SF4.

Ramza · 06-07-2010 07:05PM

I love the Vampire series, I dabbed in it a little for fun a while back but never took it on as a game full time. Personally I think this is great, can't wait for more updates on this

Hopefully a new gen fighting game I really like is on the way

Please be 2D.
Please don't have Ultras.

You'd be surprised at how many of us are waiting for Marvel vs Capcom 3, and/or willing to dabble in KOF XIII.

Owwmykneecap · 06-07-2010 09:14PM

Frankly if MVC3 got much play here after 6 months i'd be surprised.

It's on GGPO, should be easy enough for you to try it out there if you like. Good news, always thought Vamp series was fun.

Never played any of the Darkstalkers or Vampire Savior games, another series I wouldn't mind trying. B.B. Hood is the Best Character Ever.

Dunjohn · 06-07-2010 11:03PM

I never really got into this series. I did have DS3 on the PS2 (or was it the PS1?) but only ever played it casually, never tried to get good. I used B.B. Hood because I thought she was pretty cool in Marvel vs Capcom 2. She's Little Red Riding Hood with landmines and an Uzi, how much convincing could anyone need??

Those videos RopeDrink just posted don't really get the nostalgia juices flowing, either. If this does turn out to be Darkstalkers and I do get it, I probably wouldn't end up playing it much, so I probably won't bother get it.

Q-Bee was also cool from a stylistic point of view. Can't for the life of me remember how she played.

1 hour till Capcom announce something. "1 hour till the adventure begins". Doubt it has anything to do with fighting games.

Sairus · 08-07-2010 02:55PM

Yar, I was starting to feel that way. They've been dropping the word adventure a lot. Probably a Ghost n' Goblins yoke or something.

Scavenger XIII · 08-07-2010 03:00PM

I hate the use of the word "adventure" in marketing, tends to foreshadow a painfully short and completely linear single player romp.

Link guys?

I remember around exactlt 5 years ago, Capcom had a huge fighting games announcement to make.....and everyone went into overdrive(COULD IT BE STREET FIGHTER 4????!!! etc.).

It ended up being some rubbish strategy game or something about the crusades or something.....

I was beyond dissappointed....they're not doing this to me again!!!!:mad::(:eek

Uh. That was a little anti climactic.
Looks to be just Dead Rising 2.

:pac:

GorySnake · 08-07-2010 04:44PM

Dead Rising 2 is the big announcement? How, isnt that game out soon? Lame

Cobelcog · 08-07-2010 04:54PM

lol

Sairus · 08-07-2010 05:02PM

The Facebook page was pretty funny. Just a string of people going "WTF Capcom? WTF"

Ken B · 08-07-2010 09:16PM

I've just called Rape crisis.......they said I'm beyond help.

Scavenger XIII · 08-07-2010 11:50PM

Pathetic, how is that even worth mentioning, let alone hyping up as a big announcement?

Dead Rising is utter drivel anyway.
