Darkstalkers Resurrection Collection Announced for PSN & XBLA
Guess what? Darkstalkers are not dead! Capcom announced at the
on-going New York Comic-Con 2012 that the fan-favorite Darkstalkers
franchise is back and ready to take the fight to current-gen consoles.
Featuring a unique and colorful cast of characters, blended with
fast-paced fighting action, Darkstalkers Resurrection contains two
games, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3, that
will be available to download in early 2013 for $14.99 on PlayStation
Network for PS3 and 1600 Microsoft Points (that’s US$20 / €19.20 /
£13.60 / CAN$24.80 / AU$26.40) on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360. The two-for-one priced combo breathes new life into each game with a slew of features like: Robust GGPO-enabled online game play, HD graphical filtering
with multiple viewing options, replay sharing, Spectator Mode, in-game
achievements, Challenge/Tutorial Mode and an un-lockable vault filled
with concept artwork, videos and more. Watch the Darkstalkers Resurrection Trailer here:
Players who want to face-off against their friends online are able to
with GGPO-enabled online game play that helps create a virtually
lag-free fighting game experience. Building upon the online system
previously introduced in Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition
and Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, online game play now includes upgraded
matchmaking with additional options such as region matching, ping lock
and ping display.
While taking a break from competition, players have replay sharing
and Challenge Mode at their disposal to help them hone their fighting
game skills. Replays can be uploaded to the game’s match server or
directly to YouTube. The Challenge/Tutorial Mode contains trials to help
players deepen their knowledge of the characters and their specific
strategies. For those that prefer to learn from watching other people
play, Spectator Mode and “Watch With Friends” allows players to watch
games either live online or saved from previous matches. Players can
discuss both live and saved games in real time. PS: Anyone else find it strange that so many “collection” of game
series nowadays come up short one or more games? It’s great that the
first game, Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, is already on PSN, but
that leaves XBLA fighting game fans out in the cold. Not that I’m
complaining, it’s great they are re-releasing these games in HD with
online multiplayer support!
Are you excited for Darkstalkers Resurrection on PSN & XBLA?
