"Two stories in one. The first is of a very talented cosplayer dressed as Morrigan from Darkstalkers in a rich set and the second is regarding the Darkstalkers sequel. Any feedback shared with Paul Gale Network has been promised to be passed on to Capcom. Click to read more."
Capcom recently revealed interest in reviving their dormant IPs, so it's time to look at which Capcom series would make sense to return.
Breath of Fire, Knights of the Round, Saturday Night Slam Masters, a proper Bionic Commando game, Ghosts and Goblins. I am all down for Dino Crisis loved 1 and 2 one thing I like about Capcom is their massive library of games that need to be brought back to life. Next to Konami, Namco, Sega, old Squaresoft, Capcom was and is another one of my favorite developers. I would like it if Disney would just let Capcom make a Marvel game or two or Disney should let Capcom handle some Disney games. Capcom pulled of some great games with both Disney characters and Marvel characters.
All those plus Rival Schools, Powerstone, Darkstalkers, Dungeons and Dragons and Aliens vs Predator.
Breath of fire would be number one choice.
Glad to see it getting some love in the comments. I loved these games 1 through 4.
Not dragon quarter
Dark Stalkers, any fighting game - or side scroller - really, just not with SF's current art direction.
There's more to this package than just a Darkstalkers party. Though that's reason to celebrate enough.
It's because they are all good fighting games separately. Does look like a great package of games and features if you don't have these games already or have emulated them.
Speaking of collections, can I get the arcade Bionic Commando, the NES version, a remake of the Gameboy version, Elite Forces and Bionic Commando Rearmed 1 and 2 thanks. The 3D one only if Capcom rebuilds it themselves to look and be more like rearmed.
So many collections can be made.Which could lead to more collections like other fighting and game collections. Like Power Stone, Mega Man collection or even a Mega Man Legends remake to Ratchet and Clank level. Call it Mega Man World and use the name for a game.
Getting ahead of myself.
There's so many arcade games that never got a home release or were downgraded for home release. I'd take those original games and games that never released in the West as collections.
Maybe lead other companies to drop some collections on the market. Sega, Konami and Namco should be next. So many classic games out there.
You know what else would be essential?
A collection that featured
- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- Marvel Super Heroes
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
That’d more than rejuvenate interest in their second most successful fighting game series
All of those are near and dear to me. wolverine and his weapon X special move is still my favorite.
Also that SNES side scroller X-Men: mutant apocalypse. The forgotten marvel Capcom game with an amazing soundtrack.
Not to mention Rival Schools, Power Stone, Star Gladiator, and the Street Fighter EX games. Full 3D, please.
Same. It's so F'n expensive for that Capcom fighting stick. Capcom should Remaster the DnD games and see if they can make a 3rd one to capitalize on the popularity of DnD right now.
I would love an arcade collection with Alien Vs. Predator, both DnD games, Captain Commando etc
I can't believe Alien vs. Predator is limited to that lame Capcom fighting stick.
I’m hyped. I’m buying because I want another darkstalkers. There are also a few others I’ve never tried. Red something or another?
I'd be stoked if Lord Raptor could rise again for a new DS game. Red Earth is the other one you are thinking of and don't forget Cyberbots. That is where Jin (as found in MvC and MvC2) originally came from.
Hyper Street Fighter 2 is the greatest Street Fighter of all time possibly the greatest fighting game of all time. If you argue against this you will meet your quick end by Akuma
Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge
Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers’ Revenge
Street Fighter II The Anniversary Edition
Red Earth
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire 2
Thank You, Capcom!!
Physical release?
Do you think they are trying to see which one is played more? It seems they are going more realistic with street fighter and letting these IP duke it out for the new anime vibe game.
If anything, it'd have to be Darkstalkers using UE4 or UE5. With even better, diorama like backgrounds that would look sick. Their specials would look crazy in 3D.
If SNK is getting in on it making 3D KofF games and Samurai Showdown(and they have so many other fighters to update that I'd love to see), Capcom needs to bring Darkstalkers up to date but still have that 2D reaction speed.
Could even add a side scrolling beat em mode like Namco did with Tekken. A SF or DS beat em up mode.
@Apocalypse
Would love a new Darkstalkers, but, if it's going to be 3D I hope they make it look more like how Guilty Gear does it. If they go 2D then they should make it like the Meltyblood fighting game that came out last year.
Chevalier...EXACTLY!!
Eye melting characters that look straight out of Anime with backgrounds that match that are 3D textured to look 2D.
Truth be known, I miss hand drawn not just in games but in Anime like the old days. Movement and animation so impressive with parallax scrolling, that it puts current anime and cartoons to shame. A lot of these current cartoons and anime just look ugly and move ugly.
The characters in SF6 look good if that's the Anime Realism Capcom are looking for. But if they really wanted to push it, they'd take SF back to its roots to number 2 but ramp up the detail to either the detail we see in the GOW art images
https://www.eventhubs.com/n...
or the detail of this Chun-Li figure you see here
https://cdna.artstation.com...
with photogrammetry backgrounds of real places animated to look real. But it would look like SF2.
Either way, I'd take 2D greatness or realism seen above. I'd even take an SF that looks like the animated movie that came out years ago.
KeenGamer: "Capcom has released many Street Fighter games, but one of their fighting game franchises is often overlooked. To the dismay of many fans, Darkstalkers has been mostly abandoned by Capcom. Let's go over the reasons why this beloved franchise deserves another run."
if they do they need to use more animated graphics than the stagnant ones they've been using since SF4.
Yes, please!
A DarkStalkers with Street Fighter V animation quality would be awesome!
Bring back X-Men children of the Atom too!
Yes! Its animated and horror-themed aesthetic and characters make for a unique take on the genre. I'm imagining such a game, but built for the PS5 and XSX/XSS and loving it.
Holy eff she is hot! Cosplay to the next level when you make whole sene out of it! As for the next Darkstalkers game I'm down!
I know that Capcom actually listens because they did first with SFIV and they're doing it again as we speak with MMLegends 3 so they will again. I just don't know what's the best way to go with the game. My guess is 1 or 3.
is there an online petition that we can sign? if anyone isn't sure what makes darkstalkers cool then read the udon graphic novel because it shows you a lot about the characters and shows that it has a great story behind it.
I'd be worried if Capcom went too different with Darkstalkers but really wouldn't mind seeing an M-rated game, just go all out and 1up Mortal Kombat!
Here's what Capcom has to do: 1) focus on Marvel vs. Capcom 3, 2) focus on Street Fighter X Tekken, don't rush into anything else until next gen. I want DarkStalkers Next to be a horror game and look wicked. A premiere badass launch title for a system that would be a fighter would be the sickest thing in the world.
