Capcom's fighting game team has presentation at Captivate, 'new future' mentioned

Capcom's fighting game team has presentation at Captivate, 'new future' mentioned With the quote possibly getting a bit lost in translation, Yoshinori Ono mentioned that Capcom's fighting game team was giving a presentation at this year's Captivate event, and talked about a new future.

Ono's English isn't stellar, so proceed with that in mind, but he stated:

So we're having Captivate at Rome just now! Fighting team had presentation for new future.

Hit the jump for more.

Captivate is an invite only event held by Capcom every year, but details aren't revealed until the following week when the press embargo is lifted. They've made countless announcements about future titles and additions over the years at these gatherings.

This year's event was important enough that Capcom's Yoshinori Ono attended despite recently falling ill, even though Ono wanted a longer rest period, the company didn't grant that request.

Ono was recently linked to Darkstalkers 4 rumors, although nothing more on the game has been said since that time.

In May of 2011, Capcom's Christian Svensson said in a live chat session that there was a, "very robust fighting game road map," planned for the next few years. Given the development cycle of titles, it's quite possible we'll be hearing about future fighting games that were in the planning stages back then very soon.

So what do you think Capcom has up their sleeve? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.

I doubt that Capcom forced him to work. You have to take his tweets in ENglish with a pinch of salt, otherwise your brain might stop working.

Oh, and RIVAL SCHOOLS PLEASE!!!!!!!

I hope they debunk the debunk of UMvC3X. I wouldn't mind shelling a few extra bucks to see Asura make it into the game. Oh, and Darkstalkers 4 please.

*sigh* i was too was looking forward to a new Darkstalkers game(more so than others). however seeing how sf x tk went(i.e pointless gimmicks,dlc,glitches,ect)capcom doesnt seem to have its priorites in order. i get depress thinking about it.

future early darkstalkers trailer:
shows 4 characters as DlC. then they will show off alts that are already in the works.

Then, in a few months they announce UMvC3X.

"OMG, Capcom loves milking their franchises! So greedy!"

This is the world we now live in.

Capcom gives a dam if Ono is sick... Slave traders, no seriously though kinda messed up. Anyway Capcom vs Snk 3 strictly a hardcore game though would be sweet if they did it like SFXT, TXSF where each franchise has control of the others roster. I always liked rival schools and project justice it was very unique and fun with grey character designs.

You mean how can they can they go from the slow huge turd that is sf4 to a decent paced game like SFxT? Yeah. Beats me.

@ Getdown (14):

This has already been done with Capcom/SNK-Playmore. While Capcom's versions were both great games, SNK's (SvC Chaos) was complete garbage! Even still, Since Capcomm has sold out and went all "flashy 3-D", and abandoned 2D sprite work, Maybe it would be cool to see CvS3 SFIV style animation, and a SvC in KOFXIII style.

Wouldn't mind seeing Darkstalkers 4 or SFV. But if these future games are gonna come out anything like SFxT, I say pass the torch to someone else other than Ono-san.

@18 yea I had svc And it was ugh to say the least I bought a xbox for it and thT turned out to be a bad idea lol but snk has really showed me alot of promise with 13
Your probably right though caps will more than likely be 3-D but if it's done right I'm down and snk I believe would make theirs epic after their last failure.

Capcom Japan is grimey. Face of the franchise posting on twitter that his vacation request was denied after passing out on the job.

I hope they have the good sense to put Niitsuma team on DS4 and let Ono-squad support SFxT.

I can't wait to see something about SFV one day... SFIV was by far the best fighting game of this generation. The proof of that is that even after this years, there's no hype like SFIV. This was proved at the latest EVO.

@26

Yes SFIV is unsurpassed in the the amount of hype it brought and how long its legs have carried it. But you have to remember (I'm faoming at the mouth for a SFV) they have to do something comepletely new each iteration. That takes years to develop and is why SF has such a good name:

SF1 - Special Motion Moves
SF2 - Player vs Player, Super Moves
SF3 - Universal Overhead, Parrying and EX Moves
SF4 - Focus Attacks, FADC, Emphasis on Link Combos

Each iteration brought something that either made it THE new thing to copy or made it a professional all time favorite years after it released. WHile other franchise always make new things many times those thigns come off as gimmicks (X-factor, magic series, teams, different ratios per team member, etc.)

Street Fighter makes systems people love and want to see return. And most of all, COPY!

@ 27

I think you are dumbing it down a bit. What it comes down to is feel. Every SF game has had a different feel, and they need to get it right so that SF5 feels different, fresh, unique, but still SF.

oh, and EX moves were not introduced in SF3, but SFEX, hence the title

gammabolt17 said on April 3, 2012 at 12:15 p.m.

I don't know why it's called Street Fighter EX, but that's not why. Darkstalkers had EX moves before SFEX was even created.

I'm guessing these maybe set for the future concerning many of the producer's hints or desires:
Niitsuma maybe working on a triple or quadruple crossover (he said he wanted to have more than just two.) There was also mention of a crossover within Capcom characters.

MvC 4 is possible or they just might expand UMvC 3 with more characters and skipping MvC 4 to do a triple crossover.

Marvel Super Heroes 2 was taken with a positive outlook by Niitsuma when fans asked, so that could also be Niitsuma's next project.

Darkstalkers is a given, and so is Project Justice. There was a comment on Capcom Unity stating that Darkstalkers would come out before Project Justice or even Powerstone, but no confirmations.
Street Fighter 5 is definitely going to happen, but this one maybe the last that Ono would do.
I think both Ono and Niitsuma mentioned they both want a Marvel vs DC which would be VERY hard to do thanks to DC and Marvel's stupid pride and the expense for the license lol.

Darkstalkers 4, new Project Justice, Marvel Super Heroes 2, Multi-Crossovers,MvC4 or an extension for UMvC3,Marvel vs DC,Capcom vs Snk 2 (Online), CvS3, Powerstone, MK vs ST,Capcom Evolution 2 and Street Fighter 5 sounds like what maybe in store for the future.
I want anything Marvel related or even DC (even UMvC3X), Triple crossover, CvS3,Capcom Evolution 2, and Powerstone

I really don't care for Darkstalkers especially if it looks like Street Fighter again like SFxT. They have to make it REALLY interesting for me to buy that.

From Niitsuma's twitter:

As much as I want to see SFV at some point it would be too early for me to get excited about it. Darkstalkers would be awesome especially because I have to admit that I never played any of them. I'd also take a couple of new characters for UMvC3 but I think their license has expired so there won't be anyhting new.

Whatever it is I still have a dream about Capcom releasing a fully fleshed-out Mega Man: Power Battle style game. Think MvC containing a huge list of characters from the Mega Man Universe. Doesn't even need to be a top level professional fighting game, just a quick distraction for XBLA/PSN.

Yeah, no reason to do SFV yet, SFIV is still got a long lifetime before there's any need to replace it. Seth already said we wouldn't see SFV for a long while anyway.

I hope it's Darkstalkers 4 or a new IP. If only they could make a 2d game based on fighters from around the world using real fighting styles in a serious matter (no fireballs, etc.)

We need fighting game characters who know Aikido, Judo, Silat, Krav Maga, Mallayuddha, Naban, Savat, etc. etc. So sick of Pro Wrestling, Luchadora, Karate, Kung Fu.. etc. etc.

If you are familiar with baki the grappler,the game is actualy based on the manga by the same creator. P.S i wanna see some sambo in my 2d fighters!

As for capcom i think they just need to bring back older games in hd maybe,i dont want to see a cvs3 yet cvs2 would be just fine for the market place,along with jojo bizarre adventure (to me that game was,fun as hell) if they ever get permission to release these again.
