Domayv Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Since Capcom's pretty much reached the end of the line with Marvel, it would be great if ArcSys makes a Marvel fighting game after finishing BlazBlue: Centralfiction, since the company is the premiere fighting game company, taking over that mantle from Capcom. Just imagine: Marvel characters + Insant Kills + Daisuke Ishiwatari music. How awesome could that be?

Just imagine: Marvel characters + Insant Kills + Daisuke Ishiwatari music. How awesome could that be? To who? Because in the public conscious I'm pretty sure Capcom and Netherrealm are still walking all over ASW in that regard, I'd say Namco Bandai is too.
Domayv Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 To who? Because in the public conscious I'm pretty sure Capcom and Netherrealm are still walking all over ASW in that regard, I'd say Namco Bandai is too. NetherRealm only gained prominence with MK9, and that was in 2011, already when ArcSys had gained prominence years earlier, and before that the Mortal Kombat series (save for the first three games) was dismissed from the competitive fighting game scene due to the later games (between MK4 and Armageddon) having way too many imbalances (characters that were clearly underpowered without anything to make up for, such as Mavado, and characters that were overpowered with virtually no weakness to balance it out, such as Onaga). The only justifications for NetherRealm being bigger than ArcSys in the public conscious are that their games are AAA titles (thus receiving a lot of attention) and that they're backed by Warner Bros. As for Capcom, they are still fairly big, even to this day, but ArcSys has been growing ever since the late 2000s with BlazBlue, pretty much becoming almost an equal to them. Heck, they even publish and port over to the consoles various fighting games from other companies, like Arcana Heart (which, sadly, it isn't in the competitive fighting game scene) and Under Night In-Birth (which it is). Bandai Namco only has Soul Calibur and Tekken, and the former has pretty much lost prominence after the failure that was Soul Calibur V, with Tekken being the only viable fighting game franchise for Bandai Namco, and Tekken's a 3D (read, sidestepping) fighting game, which those types of games seldom appear on the competitive fighting game scene due to their association with cheaply-made, usually a tie-in to an established series (like Naruto), effortless (has virtually zero fighting strategy, resulting in virtually all of its combos being nothing but mashing the same button again and again) fighting games that pretty much caused the fighting game's dork age until BlazBlue and Street Fighter IV helped bring the genre out of that dork age.
ChexGuy Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Bandai Namco has Japanese arcades by the balls with Gundam, though.
Domayv Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Bandai Namco has Japanese arcades by the balls with Gundam, though. but even then, they're not seen at the competitive fighting game scene with the same level of frequency as Street Figher or even Tekken
Domayv Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Namco are the developers of Tekken though. oh yeah, though Bandai made Gundam and Namco made Tekken prior to the merger. Also, shouldn't this thread be about what it would be like if ArcSys makes a Marvel fighting game and not about who's a more prominent fighting game company?
CaliburWarrior Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 It will be kinda cool to see another Marvel fighting game from ASW and i don't mind if it happened someday in the future. Another Marvel Super Heroes or X-Men version should be nice. Lol...
kosmos badgirl Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I rather see ASW vs Capcom. Or another Hokuto no Ken.
Dark Ranger88 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 How about Naruto: Ultimax Jutsu Hold? They would make zillions of dollars.
Blade Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 This argument is pretty much pointless because: 1. They're busy with not just Central Fiction and Revelator but probably a bunch of other games and VNs in development (not including doing Publishing Work for French Bread and other smaller developers). 2. Because they're busy, it's going to be a long time before they make something that isn't GG or BB, and the things they did make that weren't either of those were mostly for Mobile or iOS or Handheld games, so I wouldn't expect another fighter besides GG or BB any time soon, maybe a visual novel or RPG or something but I haven't seen ARCSys do RPGs very well just yet. 3. Why is this in Zepp Museum?
Domayv Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 I rather see ASW vs Capcom. Or another Hokuto no Ken. ArcSys would have to negotiate with Koei since they have the current video game rights to the series (the ArcSys game of that series was published by Sega) I rather see ASW vs Capcom. Or another Hokuto no Ken. How about Naruto: Ultimax Jutsu Hold? They would make zillions of dollars. Zillions lol. One Piece would rack in doe ArcSys would have to negotiate with Bandai Namco for that, and besides, CyberConnect2 is already making those games for them (and now they have JoJo). This argument is pretty much pointless because: 1. They're busy with not just Central Fiction and Revelator but probably a bunch of other games and VNs in development (not including doing Publishing Work for French Bread and other smaller developers). The only French-Bread title that ArcySys has published is the console version of Under Night In-Birth (which, like Guilty Gear Xrd, in the arcades is published by Sega because they use the Sega RingEdge arcade board, though Accent Core Plus R was self-published). 2. Because they're busy, it's going to be a long time before they make something that isn't GG or BB, and the things they did make that weren't either of those were mostly for Mobile or iOS or Handheld games, so I wouldn't expect another fighter besides GG or BB any time soon, maybe a visual novel or RPG or something but I haven't seen ARCSys do RPGs very well just yet. If only ArcSys gained some significant expansion, like getting more members (which is borderline impossible). Also, I can guarantee that had Sega not hold onto the Guilty Gear IP like a control freak until ArcSys got it back until 2011 (Sega's constant meddling with the Guilty Gear IP was probably what motivated ArcSys to start self-publishing, as well as create the BlazBlue series as their placeholder fighting game until they get back the Guilty Gear IP), the newer Guilty Gear games (Overture, Accent Core, Xrd, etc.) would have come out a lot earlier. 3. Why is this in Zepp Museum? I don't know where else to put this thread in?
Blade Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Seeing as Sammy vs Capcom was a total bust, I do not see them doing anything like that any time soon (to say nothing of all the unreasonable nagging they get to make a GGvsBB title). Also, regarding Sammy/Sega they were mostly involved in these games: GGX / GGXPlus / GGX1.5 (Atomiswave) / GGXAdvanceEdition GGXX GGXX#R (Red and Blue) GGIsuka (Atomiswave) GGXXSlash (Notable because "Sega" was listed as the publisher, and not Sammy, and to be honest the only 'meddling' they did was not release the game overseas and keep changes to a minimum as far as localization goes) Accent Core (GGXXACPlusR) and GG2Overture were published mostly by ARCSys with Aksys Games helping (Majesco Games helped release GGDS, GGJ, and GGRoA). Still if you're looking for games ARCSys made besides GG or BB, try Exector (PSone) Prismaticallization (Dreamcast title) or Hard Corps Uprising (PSN for PS3). Or heck, try Hokuto no Ken, Sengoku Basara X, or Battle Fantasia (PS2). I suggest moving your topic here: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php/forum/262-misc-asw-games/
Domayv Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 GGXXSlash (Notable because "Sega" was listed as the publisher, and not Sammy, and to be honest the only 'meddling' they did was not release the game overseas and keep changes to a minimum as far as localization goes) I still wonder why Sega never bothered to release that game overseas (and even worse why never bothered to make an English translation), or better yet why they never bothered to release Guilty Gear (and possibly BlazBlue if they wanted to) themselves overseas, and why Sega holding on the Guilty Gear IP prevented ArcSys from making a new Guilty Gear game other than updates (Overture was self-published but it couldn't contain any of the characters from X and XX because it wasn't published by Sega and Sega owned the rights to those characters) until very recently. Accent Core (GGXXACPlusR) and GG2Overture were published mostly by ARCSys with Aksys Games helping (Majesco Games helped release GGDS, GGJ, and GGRoA). I knew Majesco released Reload, Dust Strikers and Judgment, but I never knew they released Rise of Arms.

At the very least, ASW and Capcom have collaborated in the past (SBX) so there's that at least.
Domayv Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Sammy vs Capcom also had another company (Sega Sammy) involved, so IDK if it's fair to factor that into the equation. At the very least, ASW and Capcom have collaborated in the past (SBX) so there's that at least. even then, good luck with that because Capcom's focusing on Street Fighter V, and gameplay-wise Street Fighter is different from Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. Also Sega Sammy owns Sammy, and Sammy no longer publishes video games (their games duties are now handled by Sega). At least we could have Sega include characters from BlazBlue and Guilty Gear in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, given ArcSys's relationships with French Bread/Ecole Software (though it would require negotiations with the three companies).
Blade Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 At any rate, this is what the President of ARC System Works has in mind for the future of his company.
