Sounds like its in development

I was never a fan of Darkstalkers but I'd play a new one.

Ever since the rumors started flying around and Capcom got their trademark back on it, I have been playing the ever-living shit out of Chaos Tower on my PSP, and blasting the soundtracks on my mp3 player to and from work.

My fingers are crossed so hard, knuckles are breaking.

I'm a bit of a fan.

Darkstalkers have taken most of their character inspirations from the classical side of supernatural fiction, drawing on popular or cultural monster archetypes; the vampire, werewolves, Frankenstein's monster, yeti, the grim reaper. Sometimes from specific works; Rikuo's birthday was given as the release date of The Creature from The Black Lagoon in the original Darkstalkers, and his USA name was in reference to Ricou Browning, one of the Creature's actors.

The closest thing you really have to a slasher movie character would probably be Lord Raptor, and that'd really only be when he pulls out a hockey mask and bone chainsaw for his Dark Force maneuver. I wouldn't be too worried.

I wonder about new characters too, though. There's a lot of ground they can cover; I know that one of Lilith's original concepts was for an angelic creature. There's also the two hidden entities, Shadow and Marionette; I know it's a long shot, but I hope they're not forgotten entirely.

As long as they Morrigan in it, I'm down.

I wanna see a young angelic knight/paladin as the main character. Maybe a little like Harry Grimoire with the magic and stuff.

Of course, he can make friends with the good darkstalkers.

Darkstalkers is FUCKING AWESOME. About freaking time Capcom.

PERIOD.



Keep Yoshinori Ono and SFIV's vomitive engine away from DS4,instead Capcom use MTFramework and bring Niitsuma San as producer...not gonna happen or very slim possibility....but.

MT Frameworks? So it'd look similar to MVC3? I can dig it.

Yep,but according to a rumour,the same source that leaked RE:6 was in development with Chris and Leon as playable characters is now saying that DarkStalkers 4 is being developed in a modified version of SFIV's engine,ugh!!, i hate that horrible engine even more for a DS game.

Great. Fuckin huge buffed up Morrigan. Haaaa. Kinda reminds me of some pictures I've seen of her.


Now I'm in tears laughing.

give me mei ling which is hsien - ko's sister. i don't think she was ever playable but i do see her when i finish rounds with hsien - ko in darkstalkers chronicle the chaos tower for psp.

bring back the demon baby stage.

characters i want to return are
lord raptor
jedah
rikuo
bishamon
jon talbain
morrigan
lilith

these are the characters i play the most.

new characters i want to see are a
witch
banshee
scarecrow
alien
ghost

by the way Shadaloo who do you like to play as.

i heard dlc will be crazy overpriced with characters,attires,arenas and such.

I use most people pretty well, but my main choices are Huitzil, Pyron, and Rikuo. It's been a clear decade since I've fought anyone but the AI though.

Considering all this bollocks about SFxT's DLC, I would not be surprised at all. It makes sense to me that they'd focus on costumes and arenas; I can't see them witholding more than one or two people from such a small roster, compared to Capcom's current fighters.

All this time I could have sworn Hsien-Ko's sister was named Lin-Lin. It's Mei Ling now? Did they pull a Toadstool/Peach?

I heard Darkstalkers 4 would be using a modified version of the Street Fighter x Tekken Engine.

I can't really say this is a bad or good thing since i haven't played Street Fighter x Tekken.

So we'll have to wait and see

Graphics engine and art style are not the same.

Human-Sub-Zero-4-ever you are right about ds4 using a modified engine of sf x tekken. if you go to the the fightersgeneration they have a link on there news page.

also ds3/vampire savior will soon be coming to the psn and i think maybe x-box live not positive though.

I just pray thats it not a 2 on 2, Don't get me wrong 2 on 2 is fun.. but i like my 1 on 1 matches much more

Darkstalkers should be in the street fighter IV's engine.

Judging by the SFxT fiasco, Capcom will be attempting to rape your wallets again when DS4 comes out.

After all this time, I bet they will. No love.

And super scrub friendly like MVC3!!

After playing SFxT, I think I'm quite comfortable with the idea of DS4 running on a modified form of this engine. Chain combos feel pretty darn close to how it was done in the old days.

so your saying Shadaloo that sf x tekken engine/gameplay is pretty solid for ds4. atleast that some good news. i just hope they don't try to slowdown gameplay because ds is know for there very fast gameplay. characters like jon talbain are lightning fast with his nunchuck attacks and various dashing attacks.

I think so. This feels like a hop and a skip away from SF4's. Another hop and a skip and we're pretty much running it old-school. I'd feel safe in saying that DS4 will be comparable to DS3 in the same way SF4 and its ilk are comparable to SFII; all the elements are there, just built up and greatly expanded upon.
