Guys,

The original Strider and Strider 2 developers are the main designers of Strider. Double Helix is doing the grunt work. #SDCC

Ya we all saw that.

DH still blows :/

DH on grunt work, hype renewed for now.

 

[Error]

Does grunt work only consist of programming or art design too?

I imagine it'll be like Level-5 and DQ8, that's what comes to my mind when the phrase 'grunt work' is used in gaming.

 

[Tan]

This is awesome! This is awesome!

Spoiler

please be good please be good

 

[SAB CA]

So one of the directors with the Capcom Osaka branch should be Koichi Yotsui, right?

He recently had his hand in making a Strider spiritual sequel in Moon Diver... lets see how this turns out, compared to that...

 

[Teknoman]

of course

Well they need to make sure the Osaka team takes the reigns on art design, because we really dont need any uninspired enemy design here.

 

[weevles]

So does this qualify for the usual Capcom secret announcement "disappoint"?

I'm cautiously optimistic, since I forsee getting a Wii U sooner or later.

 

[El Sloth]

Ya we all saw that.

DH still blows :/

Anyone can do grunt work. They'd have to work extra hard to fuck this up.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Rich from IGN just said no Wii U version coming.

Fuck this. No Vita or Wii U? Fucking sucks.

 

[legacyzero]

The last time Double Helix touched a franchise I loved, we got Silent Hill Homecoming.

is it wrong to keep my hype low for this?

 

[TrueBlue]

Rich from IGN just said no Wii U version coming.

Darn. After Ducktales that is quite disappointing.

 

[mephixto]

No.

5th USF4 character has never been in a fighting game.

I thought they said that the 5th was never been on a SF game.

 

[Village]

What is with the school girl shoes.

 

[baphomet]

For what it's worth I've been playing Strider 1+2 recently, and they're both excellent games. They're extremely simple gameplay-wise so hopefully DH don't fuck that part of it up. Should have given it to Ninja Theory though.

 

[Dereck]

Edit: DOUBLE HELIX?

PS4, day one

 

[pixlexic]

Metroidvania Strider?

It actually sounds like an awesome combo.

ever play strider on nes?

 

[metalslimer]

Rich from IGN just said no Wii U version coming.

Well fuck

 

[Dahbomb]

It's amazing how many minions exist relative to Marvel's actual sales. Like Mk9 trumps Marvel, yet kombatants are usually pretty silent on the board.

I think it's pretty obvious that the hardcore following of Marvel trumps that of MK9 as evidenced by tournament entrants and stream numbers. Plus overall Capcom fans trump MK9.

 

[Nirolak]

Okay I updated the OP to reflect that there's Wii U confusion.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Ya we all saw that.

DH still blows :/

If i'm reading it right then this is basically like a Dragon Quest production. DH is just doing the programming while the game design is done by the original developers. Many people don't like Level 5 RPG's for example, but the games that they co-developed with Armor Project are highly praised. On those games they just handled the programming while AP did the game design.

 

[iconoclast]

-Double Helix
-Metroid-style

Lame, but I'll play it anyway.

 

[VariantX]

Metroidvania Strider?

It actually sounds like an awesome combo.

It already exists on the NES.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I thought they said that the 5th was never been on a SF game.

- Never been in a SF game
- Never been in a fighting game either

 

[FINALBOSS]

Meh.

Something tells me they only threw in "grunt work" because people would notice it's Double Helix and immediately shit on it because they are like a room full of monkeys smashing on a keyboard hoping a game comes out.

 

[kittens]

DH on grunt work, hype renewed for now.

Same. Crossing my fingers. I want this to be good.

 

[tbm24]

Fuck this. No Vita or Wii U? Fucking sucks.

Well, there's always PS4 remote play as an option. I know that's what I'm going to be doing.

 

[Nazeem38]

"Fan demand made this possible!'

Not dissing Strider by any means, but was there really that much of a demand?

 

[Mlatador]

That list of games Double Helix made is scary.

Still, that doesn't mean that they won't screw up in the future. Let's see some actual gameplay before people jump to conclusions.

I mean, its possible they make a "good" game this time... moreso if the original devs are telling them what to do or... I don't know, new news keep coming up so fast... Still, the hype is definitely killed.

Remember when Duck Tales was announced and the first thing that hit you in the face in the trailer was "Wayforward"? Yeah, it's the complete opposite this time.

A game can be well designed but play like crap.

 

[Mpl90]

Is it just me or many posts have been repeated 3 times? :lol

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

The last time Double Helix touched a franchise I loved, we got Silent Hill Homecoming.

Last time Double Helix touched a franchise I loved, we got Front Mission Evolved.

I'm physically unable to become hyped.

 

[Gartooth]

WHY does double helix gets contracts? seriously first KI and now this?

WTF publishers WTF :O

What I was thinking. Unless Capcom and MS/Rare do a great job overseeing developnent, I don't expect either gaming being better than mediocre.

 

[quickwhips]

Looks like double helix is getting its chance to shine. Good luck to them and I will be buying both games.

 

[Platy]

As a friend pointed out

"Fan demand made this possible" MEANWHILE, FUCK YOU MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3

 

[Warm Machine]

Sounds like the superior NES Strider.

 

[BY2K]

Why? Why wouldn't there be a Wii U version?

 

[Nirolak]

Is it just me or many posts have been repeated 3 times? :lol

If you're using mobile GAF, it has a bug that sometimes causes that.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

At least with Killer Instinct, MS sent a team of developers and Ken Lobb to help them with the game and it seems to be turning out nicely. If Capcom is doing something similar, maybe it'll work out. Retro essentially started that way with Metroid Prime under Miyamoto. Of course Retro started out with much better talent and funding more than likely.

 

[Nirolak]

Why? Why wouldn't there be a Wii U version?

HEX engine presumably, Double Helix's proprietary system, along with sales.

Re: Strider HD on Wii U - our press release via Double Helix lists platforms explicitly and does not say Wii U. So I guess we'll see.

[Y2Kev]

No wiiu

 

[Stone Ocean]

As a friend pointed out

"WELL UHH MEGAMAN FANS DIDN'T MAKE IT POSSIBLE ENOUGH"

 

[Anura]

A game can be well designed but play like crap.

Game play is still part of the designing process

It could really go either way at this point

 

[enzo_gt]

Ya we all saw that.

DH still blows :/

All licensed games with next to no budget and development time blow.

DH hate is kinda ridiculous in here. I understand caution, but folks haven't even seen the damn thing in motion and are skipping town over a name I don't think much GAFers have even played the games from.

 

[Dark Octave]

Anyone can do grunt work. They'd have to work extra hard to fuck this up.

Off to a good start.

I don't know who is responsible, but have you noticed the grade school girl shoes yet?

 

[Teknoman]

I wonder if school girl shoes = the new white hair

Seriously though, just make him have normal ninja shoes.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

https://twitter.com/RichIGN

No WiiU then. No other way to interpret it.

Double Helix doesn't instill the most confidence but it's Strider. I'm cautious.

 

[metalslimer]

Why? Why wouldn't there be a Wii U version?

Seems like no one cares anymore and nothing will until sales pick up

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Meh.

Something tells me they only threw in "grunt work" because people would notice it's Double Helix and immediately shit on it because they are like a room full of monkeys smashing on a keyboard hoping a game comes out.

Wow. Harsh.

Where did they say the second line? Not at the panel.
