- Capcom confirmed that they are working on a new installment of the Vampire (Darkstalkers) series, the game will be revealed in Japan next spring.
-------
I'm happy to hear this news. There's a few Darkstalkers/Vampire fans around the boards, and I'm looking forward to this.
Dolemite, Werewolf, anything to say on this matter? :)
$5 says that the Morrigan sprite is recycled.
Finally, great news indeed :)
I hope they don't recycle the sprites again, we need some nice new ones :p
Just one thing... Jon Talbain! :DQuote:

I hope this isn't just a mixup, and the "new" game they're referring to isn't just the Vampire Chronicles port for PSP.
No, it's not. A new game is in development.Quote:

Great news for 2D fighting fans, can't wait to play this sucker.
You damn skippy I've got something to say.Quote:

Then I thought about it for a second...didn't Capcom announce that they gave the boot to 2D fighters? That pretty much kills any chance of the brand new, hand-drawn, high-res, high-color sprites everyone's been bitching for. Even if they go back on their decision on 2D, there's no way they'll use anything other than the same sprites they've been using for years. If we're lucky, maybe they'll thrown in one new character for good measure.
What's more likely is that Capcom will force the Darkstalkers series, kicking and screaming, in the realm of the 3D fighter, which will more than likely be teh suck. A trademark of the DS sereis is the personality and all the little touches contained in the animation frames...polys just ain't as expressive yet.
Then again, Project Justice kinda worked well on that level...I dunno. I can't really comment until I know the format and hardware and see some screens. I'm happy the DS series is FINALLY getting some attention from Capcom again, so I'll try to be positive. Anyway, it's about fucking time.
Oh, joy. :rolleyes:Quote:

I'd wager she's the only one they do update. Boobies = revenue.Quote:

If not, we get another Plasma Sword... :yuck:
DarkStalkers EX 3? I would hope not, but it looks so considering what Capcom said about CFJ (I'd like to eat these words). Pimping it out to SNK Playmore or especially Arc System Works would be better than using polygons.
What I'm really wanting is one with redrawn sprites, 640x480 resolution, and GGX animation.
AHEM! make that 3.Quote:

If Morrigan's sprite is updated, this game will be worthless. Every character should have a new, high res, gorgeous sprite except Morrigan.
Finally! Definately my favorite fighting series in terms of character design and overall just fun

I'm a huge Darkstalkers fan, but I don't have much faith when it comes to fighters in Capcom these days.
Damn... even better idea. That's hot.Quote:

CFAS was not an in-house title. It was made by the same company that did SFEXQuote:

Old news... in fact it's likely just a CPS2 release of Vampire Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (as was rumored last year). Just an enthusiast rerelease really, like Hyper SF2X. Most likely being done at Production Studio 5 (who's doing the PSP Vampire Chronicle).
Arika had nothing to do with it, it was all being done inhouse.Quote:

FUCK NO.Quote:

I was kidding. The post about black and white tvs and 10 year old sprites was a JOKE. I WANT ALL NEW SPRITES.
Do you understand now?
Do you?
Thank you.
According to my boy Shin Johnpv, Figarou's sarcasm detector is broken. Figarou claims it ran out of batteries. I claim someone left him out of the refrigerator too long and he went "bad".Quote:

I hope CFJ sells decently, but I'll be asking "Why no new high resolution sprites?" on my comment card when I send it in.
ok, that was pretty good.Quote:

It's the thought that counts though.Quote:

I'm proud to be one of the so-called "fuckers" you speak of. :D In light of the move to more powerful hardware, do you want 10 year old sprites in this one? When Street Fighter III raised the bar on animation for its series, it'd be disappointing for something to not be kicked up a notch in DS at this time. Capcom's gonna hear about this concern on my comment card that comes enclosed with CFJ once that time comes.

I was going to quote Yoshi's post where he named Werewolf and frostwolf ex and mention how he forgot you. But you beat me to it, by a long shot.Quote:

Of course, that's probably never going to happen and the game will be shitty.
Of course, being a Darkstalkers fan, I'll probably buy it anyway.
Oh yes. I like "Hey! Who's been putting out their Kools on my floor" myself. His standup act with "Get the fuck out" is the bomb- a shame he's gone to more G/PG rated stuff now.Quote:

News on the PSP version of Darkstalkers...they've added an extra mode called The Chaos Tower. You basically have to navigate a tower with different branching points while engaging in an RPG-like series of battles. Sounds like it's similar to the Edge Master mode in Soul Calibur.
