In a post a little while back, someone asked Capcom if there was any chance they'd be making a Darkstalkers HD Remix title.Posted by Morrigan on August 5, 2009 at 5:15 p.m. #1
An HD version of Vampire Saviour would be awesome, ot better yet - an whole new Vampire/Darkstalkers game, it's about time this series got an update!

Give Darkstalkers the SF4 treatment!
Please.

Sounds great. Whole new game would be nice too. 2d sprites of course.

It would probably be faster and more worth their money to start from scratch.
Also, put Morrigan on the cover for marketing purposes.

HDR sure, just don't get Udon on the job.
But I would very much prefer a SF4 treatment, just imagining playing Gallon in 2.5D makes me horny.

Make everything in crisp HD 2D graphics, but keep Morrigans sprite the same.

Although I've never played a Dark Stalker game before, I'm a little interested in this.
Posted by Curori on August 5, 2009 at 6:23 p.m. #10
Darkstalkers was easily Capcom's best traditional fighter, aside from SF. An updated Vampire Hunter/Saviour would blow my mind quite frankly.
Posted by Anonymous on August 5, 2009 at 6:44 p.m. #11
No thanks. Darkstalkers was never as good as SF, and I doubt that many people would buy a HD version. Can we have 3S in HD instead? I'd gladly even take a port of something like CVS2 or 3S rather than have Capcom waste time on such a pointless project. They could do a lot more with the resources.
Posted by zxz on August 5, 2009 at 6:48 p.m. #12
YES GOD YES. vampie is the best series they ever made.
Posted by CVS3 would be so much better on August 5, 2009 at 7:02 p.m. #13
Id rather see a CVS3 in SF4ish style than some downloadable game that has updated art from the 90's...they've already done it with ST and also brought MVC2 back, time to make a new Capcom vs SNK.

Posted by Izm on August 5, 2009 at 8:37 p.m. #20
Agreed SFIV is a great game, but characters are butt ugly. All buff and ripped. I could see Dark Stalkers having a BlazBlue style. Anime style FTW

Please do not ruin 3rd strike to port with online play. The lag would ruin any fun the game still has.
Posted by upchuck on August 5, 2009 at 8:44 p.m. #22
If Vampire got the HDR or MvC2 treatment I would without question buy that game. Vampire is definitely one of Capcom's most under appreciated franchises.
Posted by Rhuen on August 5, 2009 at 9:17 p.m. #23
Anime quality 2-D would be awesome for this type of game.
We need the Darkstalkers back, and capcom needs to get on it. Are they satisfied with other companies like Compile Hearts making money off the Darkstalkers *Cross-Edge*?
Posted by Xearo Death on August 5, 2009 at 9:47 p.m. #24
wow this is great, so still no word for Third Stirke HD remix, great. i dont get it its one of the best Fighting games, but yet they dont want to remake it, hell make it a straight arcade port i dont care, thatgame needs to come back, before any other rerelease game
Posted by Diyomaro on August 5, 2009 at 9:58 p.m. #25
I don't feel 3rd Strike needs an HD remix. The sprites look great as is. Maybe some filter options would be nice.
Unfortunately, Darkstalkers is a gamble. It's a solid fighter, just never sold too well, even with Morrigan's sex appeal. Though with the big boom of fighters and if marketed well this time around, it can succeed.
Posted by Tanooki on August 5, 2009 at 10:10 p.m. #26
I'm almost certain that if Capcom wants to make money, then bringing back Darkstalkers is the last choice on the list of possible remakes.

I purchased SSF2T HD Remix. It plays well, but I can't stand the Flash-like graphics. I would prefer keeping to the old designs and making them hi-res. Now there's an option to use the classic designs but they are so blurry because of the scaling that they're unusable.
Posted by Snake eyes on August 6, 2009 at midnight #35
What the hell is the appeal of Sf3, it is far from the best fighting game, way too imbalance, if it would to be given the hd remix treatment they better tweak some stuff and have the best online netcode or else it will just fail. I too would rather see Sf alpha series HDR or a brand new game.
Posted by mr list on August 6, 2009 at 12:57 a.m. #36
no no no!
the sprites in darkstalkers are terrible now, no filter crap could fix that up.
needs redrawing!!
i much prefer a new game in the series than a remix for arcade.
Posted by Saikyo on August 6, 2009 at 1:52 a.m. #37
Darkstalkers is way too old to re-use sprites, last one like '97?
They used like contrasting black/white lines for blur effect too before more modern methods.
Cross Edge is a bad PS3 game, that even make any money off the big anime box art, and back of box no details on the bad gameplay inside coverups? Easy to trick those JRPG buy everything fans out of money, at least in the US. Can't steal money from Japan and their 3.5 million in a day Dragon Quest purchases.
Online SF3 3rd Strike is fine, because people looking to Sagat top tier their way in with Ken/Chun/Yun will still get beat down and sent packing by experienced players because they won't be able to do all the things you need to learn and do consistently with those characters, Chun being the easiest though. Then even with Chun they still won't know what to do against anyone with rushdown from the air right away.
--
And you'll meet many great players with tiers you never use, like an Oro master. Experience playing others is how to learn the game as well as trying everyone out. Not picking "Sagat Ryu cuz the pros and the internet told you to. Daigo Mago OMG LEET" Or using the easy mode Zangief, Blanka stuff taking advantage of laggy online play.
But balance is welcome, not by just one player - say everyone's new BFF gootecks even if you're just online & never talked to this guy who welcomes taking in your money - And online netcode using real GGPO, not the HD Remix version which is an almost but not really would be welcome.
SF3 can be a turtle boring game too. But classic SF4/HD Remix Air fireball Akuma will eat EX Fireball by Ryu from full screen on the way down, it knocks down, real fun on the Akuma air FB noob, when he finds out his half assed lazy strategy doesn't work in SF3.
And unlike that "Truth more like Opinion" poster around here, SF4 players will not be able to play 3rd Strike, unlike the other way around he always says. Saying its too hardcore, but says he likes the SNK games, lol. Some who want more control and more of a challenge with more than turtle playstyles will enjoy it though.
Plenty of players are good in both games, or forgetting being good-tiers-top player names and all that crap, have fun in both games.
Posted by Innovator on August 6, 2009 at 2:56 a.m. #38
One thing I'd like to know is how the hell did we miss out on the Darkstalkers Collection? There have been compilation titles of far less popular games to reach the US, and somehow Darkstalkers Collection doesn't warrant a US release? If we can't get an HD Remix of Darkstalkers, at LEAST give us the Darkstalkers Collection.
Posted by classy on August 6, 2009 at 2:58 a.m. #39
darkstalkers needs to make itself completely different with a new fighting system.. its too much like street figther with worser characters...
look at blazblue.. that was pretty dam unique and new
Posted by rik77 on August 6, 2009 at 3:22 a.m. #40
I hope and pray for Darkstalkers HD remix or a new game.
Posted by Low Quality UK on August 6, 2009 at 3:32 a.m. #41
I see 3 options availble :
- A re-release of Vampire Saviour using the HD Filters that Marvel vs Capcom 2 used ( Doubt a full redrawn HD Remix is likely , since DarkStalkers has way more frames of animation to redraw compared to SSF2 )
- Japan to make a new 2D DarkStalkers/Vampire Title , with new 2D graphics to rival the quality of Arc Systems ( Or at least up to the standard of SF3 )
- Japan needs to make some more new Fighting games in 3D now , since Street Fighter 4s Visuals turned out great ... Darkstalkers/Vampire surely derserves the same treament.
Posted by Garuda on August 6, 2009 at 5:59 a.m. #42
@classy: I LOL'd at your comment. Do you even know what you're talking about?
"look at blazblue.. that was pretty dam unique and new" Either this is sarcasm, or you've never played, seen or heard of Guilty Gear.
"its too much like street figther with worser characters..." Once again, have you ever even played Darkstalkers?
Posted by Do it! on August 6, 2009 at 7:33 a.m. #43
Make a new DS game, give it the SF4 treatment. Wont sell? All they have to do is coin it as "FROM THE MAKERS OF STREET FIGHTER 4" and its GOING to make money.
Posted by reploidx on August 6, 2009 at 7:54 a.m. #44
If they made a new one, 2D hand-drawn. Probably more like BlazBlue than KOFXII.
I'd like a system more like the first Darkstalkesrs than the later ones that had the simple chain combos. The first one allowed for some chains, but you could still combo into a special move after.
I also liked how the super bar depletes over time, but should still allow for more than one stock.
However, based on how much trouble they had making HDR, it seems unlikely Capcom has the will to do an HD-quality 2D fighter anymore. They would really need a much more organized, talented, and larger team I think - perhaps an animation studio could handle the drawing for them. I don't really know how big the team for BlazBlue was.
The guys working on SFIV have said they didn't really know how DS could work given how varied the attacks are. It's a lot more than just distorting the character's face like in IV. They would need to create and animate multiple models for each character.
Posted by Elk on August 6, 2009 at 8:27 a.m. #45
I think the reason HD Remix was so hard was, unless I am completely wrong here, Udon has never done something like spritework before, where they had to be detailed, and very consistant in every frame. It doesn't matter if you are great comic book artists, perspective, range etc can all hide subtle diffrences, and without animation, that's no problem. If it's animated, like sprites in a game are, you can't have little inconsistancies, and everything has to be the same size etc etc. That's why instead of investing a lot of time and effort into drawing each key frame and then having sprite artists recreate them, KoF created 3D models based on character sketches, animated those, and then used them for keyframe refrences, to keep the styles, sizes, proportions etc all in check. Of course, they SHOULD have reshaded it so it didn't come out looking so claymationy, but that's a small oversight.
Something like GG or BB while it CAN look better (though I'm not going to say they do or do not) takes a LOT more effort. CAPCOM would need a team of experienced sprite artists. You can't just hire any artists and expect high quality HD sprites.
Of course as it has been said, in this case, traditional spriting would actually be more efficient than the 3D reference spriting, as the amount of models the characters would go through would make key framing a faster easier process. Also, as I think it was mentioned by the KoF dev team, another reason was to consolidate the "style" so the game looked like a single theme came through, instead of different sprite artists lending a bit of themselves to the sprites they create, and in a varied game like Darkstalkers, that individual style is what would really make it shine.
And I don't think it isn't doable. With GG, BB, and then the Dojin fighters which often have high quality (though not HD) sprites, I don't think it is out of the grasp Capcom.
Posted by @44 on August 6, 2009 at 8:31 a.m. #46
Handrawing takes wayyyyyyy to long KOF had to sacrifice story, characters, moves, and stages as it takes forever to do.
Posted by @44 on August 6, 2009 at 8:32 a.m. #47
*too
Posted by reploidx on August 6, 2009 at 9:07 a.m. #48
@Elk
I think you're right about the artists used for HDR. However, I think they had to go outside of Udon as well because it was so much more work than they thought.
That's why I think an animation studio may be able to do it. I know it's not the same as sprite work, but with animation, they have to keep things consistent and uniform from frame to frame, so may be able to do it much better than comic artists. Obviously not all styles of animation does this, but I mean "movie" quality animation.
With Darkstalkers, I'm not sure the 3D reference method would work for the same reasons a 3D DS game wouldn't work. The moves and attacks are so varied, it seems like so much more work to use 3D for any part of a DS game.
As for keeping the style consistent, I think that requires a central art director or group who has control over that and makes a lot of stylistic decisions ahead of time.
With Guilty Gear, I think it was largely under Daisuke Ishiwatari's control, so for the most part he probably had final say on art and most everything else during development of those games.
Posted by reploidx on August 6, 2009 at 9:13 a.m. #49
One note on 3D, I should clarify 3D backgrounds would probably work well in DS, just not for characters. I think the BlazBlue 3D bgs work well.

Been thinking, unless Jedah is out, we won't be seeing a 3D darkstalkers. Remember his attacks? Self Decapitation with lots of blood, arm mutilation, also with lots of blood. He's a pretty +16 guy.
Also, Capcom_Unity posted this on their Twitter: "In five , we're having a meeting to discuss a new game sequel that will BLOW YOUR MIND when you find out about it... much, much later." Yesterday or something like that. Sooo... HOPE!

a new darkstalkers game needs to be made, not another remake. its time since that last ds game came out more than 10 years ago. it is time for either a new game or just let the rumors die.
Posted by Mahvel on August 6, 2009 at 1:04 p.m. #60
I wouldn't mind having this on HD. Sadly, the game wasn't as popular as ST due to some of the complex motions of the movesets.
Then again, the next game in line for populatiry would be CvS3 or a remade and rebalanced CvS2.
Posted by Lawl on August 6, 2009 at 2:45 p.m. #61
Darkstalkers? What? Why on Earth are they asking about a Darkstalkers game before something like 3rd Strike, or even Alpha 3? That's absolutely absurd!
Now I definitely, 100%, don't believe what Capcom said a while ago about how 3rd Strike was "unsuccessful". Surely 3rd Strike is more popular than any of the Darkstalkers games, especially outside of Japan.
Seriously, Darkstalkers being a higher priority for a current gen console port than 3rd Strike is really "taking the piss".
Posted by Eelcire on August 6, 2009 at 2:49 p.m. #62
Why are so many people championing 3rd strike? Street Fighter has been released 3 times now (SFIIHF, SFIIHDR, and SFIV).
While I appreciate that there are a great amount of fans for the series, why not allow for other franchises to be revisited? I'd love to see a new Darkstalkers game or even an HD remix, plus I've seen a few Rival School fans out there who would love to see that franchise revisited.
Come on, spread the love :)
Posted by 3rd strike is cancer on August 6, 2009 at 3:01 p.m. #63
3rd Suck is by far the cancer of Capcom...no more ports needed!!! CVS3 could still have alot od Dark Stalkers characters in it and would sell Wayyyyyy more...so Capcom should jump on that with SF4ish style so it doesnt take 5 years to make like a brand new hand drawn version.

Posted by 3S FTW on August 6, 2009 at 3:35 p.m. #65
3rd Strike is by far the most technical, aggressive and most exciting SF game, and it looks and sounds amazing even after 10 years. The average SF fan shunned it because they weren't willing to learn it's huge depth. It was too much of a challenge for them, and now because of that Capcom felt like they had to cater to all those whining scrubs that got their asses handed to them by people that actually took the time to learn the game by realeasing the garbage that is SFIV.
3rd Strike has been a tournament standard for 10 years, along with Super Turbo. There's a reason for that. Think about it...
Posted by yeah on August 6, 2009 at 4:16 p.m. #66
Its funny how they threw up this idea for a Darkstalkers game, save some time don't bother us with anything other than CVS3 or MVC3. Its almost a distraction to say Darkstalkers just make Alpha 4 we want new games Capcom not just cutting corners either. Big titles like more VS series

They are already well in developement of a darkstalkers HD remix. Capcom is not gauging interest Capcom is trying to drum up hype on something they have been working on since sf hd remix finished.
Most players want a marvel vs capcom 3 or a 3rd strike hd remix but why give us the holy grail when we can get shoveled earlier games to enhance the build up and make more money for capcom. Plain and simple it is a marketing plan to make money. My friend works at backbone and thats how I know!!!

I don't think an HD Remix would be the right course for Darkstalkers; not nearly enough people care about it for it to be worth the time or money. They could just dump a Darkstalkers title on the marketplace, and I'd buy it immediately.
A new Darkstalkers would be more than welcome, too. Given the current climate of excitement for fighting games, it would probably do relatively well.
Posted by Darkstalkers FTW on August 7, 2009 at 9 a.m. #73
Tut Tut... Whats wrong with you people!?
Waaa! 3rd Strike Waaaaaaaa! CVS3/MVS3
WTF!!!!!????
Capcom has already ruled out HD remixing 3rd Strike so get over it (and by the way where were all you 3rd Strike fanatics BEFORE it was a media darling, when its sales were bombing 10yrs ago, maybe if you actually bought it back then, Capcom would acknowledge its existence now)
CVS3, MVS3??!! WTF do new games have to do with HD remixing!? I even saw some douche say Alpha 3, Alpha 3 isn't even respected in the Alpha series, Alpha 2 is the only Alpha that should be remixed... IMBECILES!!!
Darkstalkers is awesome and is the only other game that is likely to be HD remixed as opposed to new filters etc, so show it some love or STFU
Posted by y2kw on August 7, 2009 at 12:07 p.m. #74

10 reasons why DS deserves--no will take it's respect and its sequel in the future:
1. I can think of countless reasons why DS was never a sf clone although there were some basics and among other things that paid homage/respect to it. Just like every other fighting game but you know what DS did it better.
2.Character designs, storyline, and overall presentation was ahead of it's time. Just like Chrono Trigger was ahead of rpgs of it's time.
3. Darkstalkers is the father of Marvel seeing as the Marvel series took its roots from *gasp* Darkstalkers. Except for pursuits and superjumps which was exclusive to Marvel.
4. All these so called 3S fans didnt help its sales when it first came out on the scene so screw you. 3S deserved every bit of cash man even 2nd Impact the actual best of the 3 and you guys blew it. So its time for the underdog's shot.
5. There was only one bad darkstalkers game. How many bad SF games were there for them trying to milk it? >.> exactly.
I thought the EX and other offbeat series were meh. But as soon as Capcom released it to you dudes you spit it back in their faces although they gave you something new. Whiners, man.
6. It's not big in US never was..but Japan has massive gatherings all the time. Of course every fighter is like that but DS has freaking cups and festivals so yeah. And it still has a decent cult following in the US.
7. Lol well the franchise (non-gaming) is doing okay even without mass appeal. Just very good handling of the franchise the comics, and etc.
8. It's been more than 15 years since an actual game has came out besides compilations, or rehashes that never saw the light of day stateside.
9. It is extremely rare to not even see a hint of a DS character in any capcom game. Really now -_- DS is crap, huh? lol whatever you say. Just like Mega Man easter eggs in every Capcom game?
10. I love sf forever till death, but overall if you want to get beefy technical with it....DS is just a better game as far as blending everything perfectly. But just like anything else in media, SF hit the spotlight first so I won't complain. But now I'm going to ask you this if Darkstalkers would've came first, and if it had SF's influence and mass appeal what would you think it's spinoffs would've looked like? that's right nothing short of epic each and every game would have been cashcow material.

Blame it on the fact that Capcom chose only to release SF3 games initially on a system that was declared dead and discontinued by it's own manufacturer within 3 years. The DC was estimated to have have/had a userbase of 10.6 million, compared to the PS2 which had/has approximately 136 million. Do the math. If 3rd Strike was released worldwide earlier on the PS2/Xbox it definitely would have sold a hell of a lot more units. The PS2/Xbox versions were released 4 years, 4 YEARS after the DC's ports were released.
If you're going to blame anyone, blame Capcom for being idiots and not admitting to their own failings, like they always do with 3rd Strike.

I say just make the goddamn hd version of Darkstalkers already. In Hd each of the characters would look tons better and it's "small cult following" would turn into a googleplex of a larger fanbase.

If Capcom makes Vampire Chronicles HD Remix, then please keep Udon out of it they suck at animation looking at how sluggish they animated SSF2THR compared to the original ST animation !

This game would actually be appreciated now. I would love to see this improved and looking like a beautiful 3D game but remaining a 2D fighter.
3S was a good game but IV was better. A lot say they should not taken out parry, but they really didn't as it is now focus attack. focus attack is more punishable, but easier to use.
