"I stood there, wondering why the puck was getting bigger...

and then it hit me."


This seems highly suspect but: http://gamersxtreme.org/2012/10/11/darkstalkers-resurrection-and-darkstalkers-are-not-dead-officially-confirmed/

It's especially suspect because of comments being made in the Capcom-Unity stream chat:

Capcomunity: HDR, MvC2 led to bigger things thanks to such positive reception
Capcomunity: I know it's not a new game, but it's the first time we've had something to show for this series in many years
Capcomunity: And if it does well, that's a good sign

Just announced: Street Fighter x Tekken 2013, a free update for the game you already know and hate.

Why would they even spend the money doing this? They should at least charge for the update because the only people still playing it are dumb enough to pay for it.

Because a free update that makes the game fun might get more people to buy DLC for it.

Maybe they'll, like, remove gems and increase movespeed by 50% and add running and shorthops and completely redo all the art assets and remove the lovely ultra animations and make tag combos more damaging and add more interesting systems.

And it'll probably still be bad.

If its a free update then they didnt do nearly enough work to transform SFxT into something fun.

I really think they expected SFxT to be the next big thing, replacing SFIV. Look at their expected (and failed) sales numbers and all the merch they made for it. It doesn't surprise me they aren't giving up on it. Besides, a balance patch isn't the most expensive thing in the world for a company. They'll throw a pretty trailer for it promising a "rebalanced for FREE!" game like they did with AE2012 and some people will bite.

Also, SFxT 2013 PC, coming Q4 2014! Will you cross the line?!

The answer is no

It was a pitch video Ono made but Capcom hasn't greenlighted it so honestly him showing it off is irresponsible at best. Edit: https://twitter.com/MardenBlake/status/256516164853841921

The ESA has some pretty gnarly rules about how much boob game companies are allowed to feature in promotional stuff, so that by itself could lead to characters like Morrigan not being featured prominently.

SF4 doesn't use Mt Framework, unless you count the 3DS version.

EDIT: I stand corrected. AE does, but Vanilla doesn't(?).

I donno about you guys but the actual announced game, which sounds rather like Dark Stalkers Chronicles, is what I'm excited about. I don't really need another slow loving 2-d fighter, but if I can finally play DS with good netcode (SF3:OE was pretty okay) that'll be awesome.

Yeah, I'd rather not see how terrible a game can be under the guise of it being "better than nothing." Especially considering that there's pretty much no way they'll retain any of the Darkstalkers animations in 3D.

Well I'd rather see the game come out and live and die under its own merits before people throwing it in the shitter before there's even so much as a gameplay video.

And the Darkstalkers crew in Marvel 3 all animate great and are very faithful to the series in appearance and character, and I don't see any reason why it would not be even better yet in a proper new game.

Their animation is not nearly as good as the 2d versions, and it will only be worse for characters with more complicated animations like Jedah.

I think we'll all be a lot happier if we assume that a new Darkstalkers will end up awesome and wont turn out to be Ono making GBS threads all over the place and needlessly trolling everyone continuously over Twitter for months until release.

I mean, at least the proof of concept CGI teaser video was cool and wasn't just Ono prancing around in a Morrigan costume for 2 minutes.
