Street Fighter X Tekken

But, regardless, it doesn't change my point in the slightest. Is this game going to be the last game Capcom makes?

Have no problem with such a game being made.

The problem is that Streetfighter is the only fighting game they have touched recently, besides all of this stupid-ass versus shit.

A new Darkstalkers game would be massively more successful than this, being, you know, a classic and influential fighting series that was well-regarded when it was released. This... Is just another vs. game. 😐

Well regarded yeah, back in like the '90's. Street Fighter is the only game they've been focusing on because it's by far their most popular series. The last real Darkstalker game came out in 1997. So to whom would a Darkstalker game appeal to? People like you and I who played the game in the 90's? Yeah... but we're not the demographic. Mom and Dad's who buy their 12 year old kids a game for Christmas because they won't stop whining about getting it so they can play with their friends, are the demographic. There is no demand in Capcom's demographic for a game that came out before many of them were even born. I mean, hell, Morrigan is far and away the most well known Darkstalker's character, but that's only because she was in Marvel vs. Capcom.

Compare that to Tekken, a very well regarded game that is not only influential but also popular and modern, and basically no. There is no way a game that most people haven't even heard of, would end up selling more than a game like a SF vs. Tekken. If that were true, Capcom would be making it instead. They're not. This is what I was trying to explain to NoEnd. Us loyal fans who were there from day 1 and still watch all those little tourny's and dream about the old days, don't really matter. Video game companies appreciate us, but they're products don't cater to us, exeptions usually abiding in Anniversery packs and the like. It's the casual gamer who matters, and that's why Halo makes so much money, and IW can make Modern Warfare 2 a noob friendly game and screw over the hardcore players and still be one of the most succesful franchises in history, and why Street Fighter vs. Tekken will sell at the least moderately well.

Nah, you're wrong.

Capcom should cater to the fan's every whims regardless of money, they have enough of that already. 🙂

I agree. Buncha bastards. Let's boycott 'em! dur

I hope you know that Darstalkers 4 is THE MOST requested Capcom game across all genres (was SFIV and MVC3, but they released that). More than MM Legends 3, and RE Outbreak. Which is why I'm left dumbfounded when Ono says if we show more support it will happen and given the fact that the Vice president of Capcom USA no longer comments about the prospect of a DS4 and avoids anything DS and Ono hints and teases his ass off about the franchise, it's safe to assume that it's prolly under development.

It should also be noted that Vampire Savior is widely regarded, TO THIS DAY, as one of the MOST balanced and perfected fighters ever created. Surpassed only by SFI and rivaled only by Virtua Fighter. It's kind of a big deal an that's what has so many people bent up. You have been revivin' franchises by order of popularity, WTF happened? You just skipped DS. What more does Capcom want? Now you even got gangs of people postin' pictures of themselves with dollars sayin' "we will pay" on Ono's twitter. It's not like they're never gonna make the damn game and it would take longer to make than a SFVSTK seeing as how they won't just reuse the SFIV engine. Like I said, the issue is at the rate they are churnin' out these damn VS games and are being overly secret about the fate of other games, like DS. DS is gonna sale like crazy when it hits. People want that damn game, badly.

I was thinking more along the lines of storm their headquarters with demolitions and firearms, slaughtering every man, woman, and child we lay our eyes upon.

Spoiler:
This is a joke. =|

Where did you get this information from? Was there some kind of international poll or something?

From what I remember VF also recieved critical acclaim by many reviewrs, the general consensus is that it's a very good game. It also got shit sales compared to Street Fighter 4.

So what's the problem? You said "The problem is" but then you listed a good thing lol. Are you just impatient?

P.S. RE:Blaxican, stop being so damned reasonable.

Contract issues with the voice actors are makin' it very hard to revive this series. As stated by Capcom when asked "WTF happened to Rival Schools?".

Capcom suggestion Box and the sheer number of Capcom's own threads about the game. They are some of the largest threads on their site.

VF also didn't have Capcom behind it and a super retarded in your face marketing campaign. SFIV and SSFIV commercials came on like every 5 minutes on some major cable channels. Hell, don't know how but there were SSFIV fliers in the goddamn hood posted on the walls in liquor stores. No lie.

The problem is, all these good ass signs are poppin' up and yet I still gotta sit through another damn SF/VS tittle. Don't get me wrong, SF is the No.1 fav but damn, take break.

Capcom Vs. Disney, callin' it now.

Reviving the Sammy vs. Capcom project and retooling it as Arc Systems Works vs. Capcom would have been a better idea than this one. Oh well.

I'm chiming in with those who want a Darkstalkers revival to happen. With all the demand it has been given for the last few years, you'd think Capcom would see it's an opportune time to develop it.

The game better not degrade into a god damned jugglefest

If it's anything like Tekken it will....

I'm just wondering how the Tekken characters are going to adapt to a 2D platform from a 3D platform......

Still, I'm not going to get on any high horse over this game.

Capcom is a business. Businesses make money. Easy enough.

They should not "cater to the every whim" of fans, because then Capcom really WOULD go bankrupt from all of the ridiculous ideas thrown out there.

I'm sure the game looking like a direct continuation of the SFIV continuity is atotal coincidence completely unrelated to any kind of potential laziness on Capcom's part andin no way brings the prospect of this game being a cash-in with half the SFIV cast replaced.

And bird shit isn't pink with blood when they eat bad food (don't ask me how I discovered that).

For Capcom to make a game like this so random, you wonder why they didn't make a Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat before Midway got bankrupt.

Lame. Are they on other projects or is this like a money issue?

I was told that Capcom is not sure if RS's fanbase is large enough to warrant a completely new release. They would have to test the waters by doing a HD re-release of the previous games to build support, but due to them not being able to reuse the VAs, they would either have to re-release the game with no voices or hire new VAs for the re-release which would cost too much. Cost effectiveness is the big thing now, that's why they aint phuckin' wit 2D sprites.

Hasn't that always been the "Big Thing"?
