Posted by GriftGFX Why are people still using those awful filters? The naked pixels look a lot better.
I think people who weren't gaming back in the day are more likely to like the assy smoothing filters. Remember when they implemented the 2xAI engine in ZSNES...looked just as shit back then :P
But yeah, some people just think low res pixel artwork looks bad. I certainly don't get it, but it seems to be popular :|
"lets try and resell this game and look how interested ppl gonna be in it and then maybe we'll do this crap called darkstalkers 4 on shitty SF4 engine and then milk it a bit with dlc on disc".
Not interested. Not in blurred pseudo high res. Not in anything made on SF4 engine with it's art style, it's horrible. Give real high res 2d.

Posted by Megido When i saw the headline i was like "wow, a new Dark Stalkers? Cool!" and then it's just another freaking port...
What do you expect? they don't know if people will buy a new one so they re-release the old ones to test the market.
Personally I would prefer if a new Darkstalkers to be made, to be a 2d game not that horrible 3d fighting Street Fighter crap that so many Xboxlive fanboys crapped their pants about.

lolwut.. I didn't know you could inject this much bias into a third party, multiplatform game. SF4 is plenty successful on PS3 too bud.
Wow... fanboy much? Your posts are thick with irony.
Well, it's Capcom allright. I just hope this is just a beginning and there will be no Belmonts-wannabe to put Darkstalkers on sleep for another decade. I will purchase it though I own Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection for PS2 and couple of PSone games (both digital and physical). I like the series and I see nothing wrong with supporting it with my wallet.

@Adropacrich2: They certainly haven't won in Canada just yet. (1 minute ago)

Doubt I'll be getting it mind if you have to be online to authenticate everything or load saves.Happily step out of the game at that point (3 minutes ago)

@Adropacrich2: based on angry joe's reaction. I'm not sure even a yank would stomach it...but maybe they will. (5 minutes ago)

I'm surprised how I actually wasn't disapointed.E3 will shed more light on what to expect game wise. personally I think they trumped Sony.They've basically won in america that's for sure (8 minutes ago)

Other stuff just shouldn't have even been there. The biggest surprise was the halo series...and that wasn't even game related. (19 minutes ago)

They could have done with 10 minutes less TV talk, and 10 minutes more for a live demonstration of that remedy game or something. (20 minutes ago)

@KORNdog: That's what I'm trying to say, they should've focussed on the gaming aspect :) Is there anyone here who's jumping for joy because you can get called on skype now via the xbox? (21 minutes ago)

And thank you for the awesomely large artwork! That's getting printed.

Though i have to agree that SFIV looks damn fugly.
I can play the original titles through emulation anyway, they should make a game where the character sprites look like the art in that lovely poster.
