They'd only ruin it anyway

>>2150121
you probably know the story, they made a psp and psn version, promised a sequel if it sold well enough, apparently it didnt sell very well

I thought the battle tower or whatever it was called in the psp version was pretty interesting tho i never went very far in it

>>2150134
That's probably true. It's just sad to see that nothing is being done with darkstalkers and there's so much potential. The same could be said for a bunch of other games too though.

>>2150121
It won't get a new game because the latest upscaled filtered emulated re-re-re-re-re-re-rerelease did not sell as good as Street Fighter 4. Which is about as far Capcom cares about it.

Maybe one day we'll have a brand new Darkstalkers game and Megaman Legends 3 as well.

Until then, Skullgirls is the closest you have to it - especially now that they started adding actually good characters as DLCs. I just wish it didn't play like a poor mans VS game.

Vampire Hunter/Darkstalkers 2 has been gaining lot of steam in Japan recently. It even had a tournament with 110 participants last month.

Unused data and debug menus and such.

CPU Bishamon was a load of bullshit in Darkstalers 3

>>2150437
Yep. He still gives me trouble.

>>2150237

No. Just leave.
SG is supposed to be an MVC2 knock-off and it even sucks at that.

Lilith was super cute and I'd bang her.

>>2150271
Here's a compilation of Anakaris play from that tournament. He's said the be the worst character in Vampire Savior, but in Vampire Hunter he can be pretty strong in the right hands.

cool stuff

I wish they would have released the PS2 Collection outside of Japan. They did with the SF Alpha one that came out shortly afterwards, after all.

>>2150538
>No. Just leave.SG is supposed to be an MVC2 knock-off and it even sucks at that.

I think the comparison is supposed to be that both games have monster style characters. A lot of the SG cast would fit in perfect with the Darkstalkers crew.

>>2154791
yeah and the animation is all elastic and disney-ish too

I'm currently working on a Darkstalkers themed Arcade stick. Got bored of my PS2 Tekken 5 arcade stick. I'm removing the old art and buttons for something nicer.

The artwork is not final.

Looking nice! The posing of the legs reminds me of her DS1 illustration.

>>2154812
Thanks!

>>2154803

Dat fuckin Dark Force, man.

>>2150214
rival fuckin schools
i'd love a cvs3 also but i just know it wont be better than cvs2

>>2154803
Awesome.

>Is Darkstalkers ever going to get a remake?

Think about this:

If they remake it, it will never be with 2d sprites

Current machines have so much fucking power and potential, the power to make HD Quality 2d sprites with beautiful unreal amounts of animation.

It could be FUCKING ART IN MOTION.

But, every time they make a new Street Fighter, a new Marvel Vs. Capcom, or even a new Super Mario Bros., is that what we get?

NO

We get this fucking 2.5d bullshit where they are 3d models on a 2d field and it's never as cool and fluid and beautifully animated as the 2d sprites of Street Fighter 3 and Darkstalkers.

Do you want a shitty half-baked 2.5d Darkstalkers? Something that will never live up to what Darkstalkers is? A quick cashgrab where they include half the roster and you have to pay DLC to get the other half??

>>2156389
Do we have a choice?

>>2156389
I wouldn't mind 3D Darkstalkers if it's cel-shaded 3D like Guilty Gear Xrd.

>>2156389

N-no... I want a 2-D Darkstalkers game with beautiful sprites.. It's sad knowing it will never happen.

>>2154797
It looks like Deviantart come to life

There's still a glimmer of hope

I am keeping my fingers crossed for games like this to make it

Also, the Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix had really good 2d sprites. A lot of people say that the game mechanics were broken but I happened to not have a single problem with that game, I loved it.

The online was broken, but the single player worked well in my opinion

>>2156389
A 2d fighter taking advantage of modern technology would take three times as long and ten times as much money to develop as a 3d game, and then half the reviewers would say it looks like shitty SNES graphics anyway.

>>2156415
Yeah I understand the reasons why they won't do it but I still don't agree with the fact that we can't take full advantage of the power of the game systems we have today

I remember looking at Earthworm Jim and Street Fighter 3, with its fluid animation, and being amazed and excited for the future of 2d sprites

>>2156414
>the Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix had really good 2d sprites

In a 90s comic book sense, yeah.

And a lot of graphics were found to be copy pasted from other art assets from other games. Like, they took a profile picture of Ryu from another game and photoshopped it to his normal sprite, stuff like that.

>>2156424
or they would have to make it a "metroidvania" that's the only way I can see them managing to cram enough content into a 2d game to justify it getting a retail release.

>>2156415
>>2156424
60fps hi res digitized sprites, otoh, are totally practical

>>2156474
I honestly cannot tell if that's sarcasm.

>>2156474
digitized live action has this incredibly cheesy feel to them, like a fight broke off among cosplayers at an anime convention

Just tried arcade on max difficulty with Queen Bee. Easily beat Bishamon and Felicia then had my shit pushed in by Demitri. I guess I'll keep practicing until I can beat it without continuing.

>>2156631
dude theres no point in 1ccing a fighting game
get the console port and play survival mode instead or something

>>2156631
btw the psp game has the chaos tower mode that's better balanced for single player than the arcade game ever was
you can emulate that on a toaster using ppsspps

>>2156646
Already have the one for the psp. I just don't like playing that version because the psp's d-pad is shit. I guess I could try it using the emulator though.

>>2156389
>they include half the roster and you have to pay DLC to get the other half??
I don't think they could pull that with Darkstalkers given how small the roster is. There are only 18 characters total in the series. They'd have to include them all to start with.
