Ono pitching new Darkstalkers title? More alts. for SSF4?
On Yoshinori Ono's Twitter account, there was a hint that the Street Fighter 4 series producer might be pitching a new Darkstalkers title to Capcom.
This started on Monday when he mentioned a new proposal he was working on and would be presenting to Keiji Inafune, who is Capcom's head of research & development and global head of production, and also the creator of Mega Man.
Ono said this proposal was successful, but didn't offer much information into what it might be.
Another Twitter member asked this question after the meeting with Inafune took place and Ono's response follows.
So now you can make a new Darkstalkers/Vampire game, right?
Ono: I'm left speechless yet..... Shhhh.
This implies Ono pitched a Darkstalkers title and Inafune liked the idea. If this is true, there's still a long way to go before the project is green lighted, but this might potentially be very good news for Darkstalkers fans.
Ono also had this to say when asked about the possibility of new alternative costumes for Super Street Fighter 4.
Ono: If there is a demand, I think..

This makes sense. Ono has been mentioning Darkstalkers like a million times since he finished the first SF4, he wants to do the game.
Inafune liking the proposal is good news for sure though. Maybe we will actually see a Darkstalkers game in the future...

Well im hyped for a new darkstalkers but ssf4 doesnt need more costumes, at least not for everybody, im ok with the 10 new characters gettin a 3rd costume but wat they really need and wat everybody really wants is dlc( DOWN LOADABLE CHARACTERS) at least 9-12 new characters wud be gud news, heck there adding ssf4 to arcades in japan mayb they'll surprise up with new characters like they did in sf4 vanilla. heres hoping.
Posted by WhiteHotTaco on June 30, 2010 at 5:23 a.m. #7
New Darkstalkers? Well I'm all for that.
And I'd at least like to see the 10 SSF4 characters get a 3rd alternate. Feels a little unbalanced right now
Posted by Positronium on June 30, 2010 at 5:31 a.m. #8
Darkstalkers would be nice, also a new Rival Schools game would be amazing.
As for new costumes? I'd say make Dan some sort of super hero, complete with mask and cape. THAT would be hilarious.
And the C in DLC is Conent, not Characters.
Posted by CMAyhem on June 30, 2010 at 5:35 a.m. #9
nothing solid =(
but new costume would be awesome, new stages as well they should remake some stages like vega's stage from SF2 and ryu's stage from SFA

I demand Chun-Li on her ZERO outfit & Ken with long hair.
Posted by yes4me on June 30, 2010 at 6:32 a.m. #12
imo, It would be even better if they are in MvC3
Posted by EmeraldFont on June 30, 2010 at 6:59 a.m. #13
I really hope not.
I'm well aware that Darkstalkers has a cult following, so I won't go so far as to say that NOBODY wants a new Darkstalkers game, but I will say that there are a lot of people out there who are indifferent/don't want a new one. I really hope that they're not expecting a new DS title to sell as well as a new Street Fighter title or a new SF crossover.
Capcom, if you're reading this, we don't want a new Darkstalker game.
Posted by powdertoastzman on June 30, 2010 at 7:04 a.m. #14
everyone...stfu and let the game go into development sheeesh....and " KAZZNORE"......get a life son.
Posted by Nyoronoru on June 30, 2010 at 7:14 a.m. #15
I want a new Darkstalkers.
If they do it, it has to show up in arcades... pretty please Capcom.
And make sure you put Morrigan on the cover so it gets better sales.
Posted by DJay2411 on June 30, 2010 at 7:37 a.m. #16
I'd be happy for everyone to get new alternate costumes, why would anyone say that they think the ten new characters should only get new alts? They should get an extra 2 costumes and the other 25 get 1 extra. That'd be nice.
Posted by 29once on June 30, 2010 at 7:49 a.m. #17
New Darkstalkers please. Oh and use it to try something really different this time, I think it's the perfect franchise to experiment with crazy new ideas.

#18 no. just no
Posted by burningdojo on June 30, 2010 at 8:25 a.m. #20
I would be interested to know why Capcom would consider not giving us a new Darkstalkers game, considering the success of Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV.
Posted by Dan_CiTi on June 30, 2010 at 8:45 a.m. #21
I'd say finish those stages that didn't get finished for SSFIV like the train and london stages. Then give the 10 new characters another costume. That'd be pretty nice.
Posted by halo on June 30, 2010 at 8:46 a.m. #22
as post #1said :whatever. Seriously, Ono has been busting our balls since SF IV news started flowing in over his huge desire to make a new Darkstalkers game. Now i am not trying to be rude, i hope he manages to convince them and i would like to see it happen. But i just hate it when every month we get this "announcement" that Ono wants to make a Darkstalkers! We get the message! Now is the game happening?
As for alternative costumes, sorry Capcom but most of the stuff you offered look lame in my eyes, did not bother with a single pack. They have a track record of offering the stuff we never want
Posted by Super_Chun on June 30, 2010 at 9:36 a.m. #23
How would the new costumes work?
Capcom has said before that the current DLC costumes only work because they're already on the disc. Unless there are MORE hidden that we don't know about, how are they going to go about adding new costumes.
Posted by halo on June 30, 2010 at 9:42 a.m. #24
I'd much rather see new stages than more alt costumes. Would that be so difficult to offer?
Posted by Jarv on June 30, 2010 at 9:59 a.m. #25
Why hate on a new Darkstalkers title? I'm sure there are kids that saw the new MvC footage and don't know who Morrigan and Felicia are. DS is way fun and a new one for 360/PS3 would be great.
Yes we know Ono has been eager to make a new one but Inafune actually liking the proposal is good news, everyone!
I really couldn't care about more stages or costumes in Super SF4.
Posted by Smorgasboard on June 30, 2010 at 10:07 a.m. #26
New Darkstalkers would be great!
Posted by saiferoth on June 30, 2010 at 10:11 a.m. #27
IMHO, SSF4 doesn't need new characters or costumes. Characters would cause balance problems, and the game already has an impressive roster. Theyre are also plenty of costumes; maybe 2nd alternate for the 10 new characters if it wasnt expensive but i dont think they can do that now.
Stages would be so much better:
Alpha 2 Australia Stage
Alpha 2 Venezuela Stage (PSX/Arcade only? don't remember)
A London Stage (mix of Dudley and Cammy)
Thailand Stage (Alpha 2 mixed with the recent concept art)
Japan Rooftop (mix of SF2 and SF3 Third Strike)
Honda Hot Tub (SF2)
Couldnt think of anymore stages but they should add around five. Sounds reasonable to me. New Darkstalkers would be nice but I like SF3 or CvS2 re-release better.

#27: "How would the new costumes work?
Capcom has said before that the current DLC costumes only work because they're already on the disc. Unless there are MORE hidden that we don't know about, how are they going to go about adding new costumes."
There could be a downloaded update to the game which contained the data for the new costumes (and this would likely be an update containing other things as well), and then they could be activated via purchase. If, for example, there were an update for download in 2011 that contained changes made for the arcade version of Super SFIV, costumes could be contained in it.
I have enjoyed the alternate costumes and would welcome the availability of more. They keep the game feeling fresh.

Posted by chickenwings on June 30, 2010 at 11:29 a.m. #32
Hopefully they improve the graphics in this one, the models really really really suck in sf4.

I'd say add 5 more chars to Street fighter 4 via DLC then we wait for Street Fighter 5. It's only fair seeing how they did say that vanilla SF4 was not designed for new chars added by dlc (so they say) But if Super Street Fighter 4 is out and we don't see DLC in the form of chars and not Alt costumes Im gonna feel cheated.
But besides that I really want to see a new Vampire hunter game see how the series needs a reboot.

Alt account confirmed. Thanks for making it blatantly obvious, retard. XD
Posted by Hrm on June 30, 2010 at 12:35 p.m. #37
I had never been all that interested in Darkstalkers until I got Chaos Tower on PSP. It's a lot of fun and I'd love to see what a next-gen reboot would be like. Maybe with the option for a simplified control scheme for newbie players.
Posted by kara on June 30, 2010 at 12:46 p.m. #38
no
there is no demand, so don't worry, coz they all look like crap and nobody cares how they look when they fight

Some people don't notice those are different name some times and when people are sad enough to act like they're two separate people that agree so just pointing that out so no one thinks they are

Felicia and Morgan Alts for Chun li and Juri!!!!!!!!!

"Darkstalkers has a huge following"
No it doesn't. Just because you like it doesn't mean that it has a huge following. It doesn't. It's a cult hit and most DS fans agree, stop being a fanboy trying to convince yourself that everyone loves it just because you do.
Hell, the only reason that most people know about Morrigan and Felicia is because of the Capcom crossovers.
Posted by MALDA on June 30, 2010 at 1:55 p.m. #42
For the love of god please make Darkstalkers or Rival School even power stone and will love new alternate costumes for SSF4
Posted by Sillender on June 30, 2010 at 2:08 p.m. #43
Darkstalkers is fun as hell, EmeraldFont is an idiot for wanting capcom to make the same damn game over and over.
Posted by shakumafu on June 30, 2010 at 3:48 p.m. #44
As much as I'd like to see a new Darkstalkers, I agree that the series isn't popular and a new game would not sell very well. Still, a new darkstalkers is at the top of my wish list after MvC3 as far as capcom games go.
Also, the 10 new characters could really use a second set of alternate costumes. It bugs me how they only have one.
Posted by RoKtheReaper on June 30, 2010 at 4:23 p.m. #45
Awesome for the New Dark-Stalkers game. I hope it is done in a "Sleeker" 3D style, not big and bulky like SSFIV, though, I did like that style as well, I hope they're skinnier. I hope they include Hsien-Ko and Jedah, and I'll be happy.
As far as the SSFIV new Costumes, I would really like some more, but there are certain specific ones I would really like.
Cammy: I want to see her with her hair down maybe? In like an everyday outfit. Maybe jeans, a halter top and sneakers for a change. I want to see her comfortable in everyday wear. OR her Killer Bee Outfit from SFA3.
Makoto: I want something nice and "feminine" for her. Maybe a sundress to match that hat? Or maybe a school girl outfit like Ibuki's or Sakuras,or maybe even a "Battle Damaged" Makoto like Ryu.
Cody: I want him to be wearing something more "Street". Maybe pants with a chain going from one belt loop to the other, and sagging so his boxers show. A hoody with a backwards hat on beneath it, and maybe bandaged hands.

chun li needs her night gown costume, semi transparent with panties.
im down for dark stalkers, ssf4 is done, just let it run for years like third strike.
Posted by Graphf on June 30, 2010 at 10:34 p.m. #53
DS is popular in Japan. Do your research. Vampire Savior was huge for years and years in Japan.
Maybe...just Maybe, Capcom a Japanese company is making a game for JAPAN. It will sell well there and anything else is icing on the cake.
You haters really don't think that Capcom vips have thought about this? Ya'll need to get a tight grip and reality and don't let go .
Posted by streetman88 on July 1, 2010 at 2:36 a.m. #54
A new darkstalkers game would be awsome since most people including myself only know about it threw the crossovers or darkstalkers on the psp bringing that series into the light would really shoot up its popularity and make it more known to the world. As for new costumes PLEASE! make that happen to me new outfits make playing ur fav character feel more good especialy for chun li (my main) her new alt is...its just bad thats all some of those picks from the book would look really good short skirt,tight clothes,alpha chun etc just not another dress PLEASE just normal clothes for once.
