Capcom is Taking a Break from Remaking Fighting Games in HD

Are you OK with this?

Posted By | On 10th, Apr. 2013

Darkstalkers-Resurrection

Capcom employee replied back to fan questions on Capcom Unity. Senior vice president Christian Svensson wrote:  “New development in the form of updated versions of SF2, SF3, MvC2, MvC1, Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers, Puzzle Fighter etc. Sadly, I think we’ve probably run the course of feasible titles here given the droppoff we’ve seen in sales with each new introduction.

“It seems the novelty of such projects is wearing off even within just the fighting game community based upon the sales data of our last two launches. That said, we have been quite prolific in these areas (despite the assertion above that we haven’t) and it’s probably time for us to slow down anyway.”

Darkstalkers Ressurction was the most recent HD release back in March. The game included Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3. The game featured GGPO-enabled online game play and HD Graphical filtering.
