I still have no idea how Double Helix were given the rights to Strider and Killer Instinct sequels. Hopeful for the games though, hopefully the Capcom devs keep the game on track to being decent.

Well I'm pretty sure they were picked from a pool of developers for Killer Instinct after showing Microsoft a great demo for Killer Instinct. For this one, maybe they did the same thing?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Just give me a goddamn gameplay demo pls

 

[TreIII]

Nice, capcom keeping their word. SB4 still makes no sense though

That's more than likely due to the fact that the game is only being released in one region. But we'll see what happens once SB4's inevitable expansion comes out a 9-12 months later...

 

[eso76]

Character design is wrong already.

Funny, Dh working on sequels to both my all time favorite arcade, and most hated arcade ever

 

[Codeblue]

The original developers are working on it. DH just putting it together.

Oh, awesome. Hope renewed.

 

[Poimandres]

Looks great. I am down for this!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Seriously, what is with the shoes?
Are they in the original design? Shit is hilarious.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Wii U but not Vita? What the hell does Capcom have against the Vita???

I've been wondering this for some time. They really seem to hate the Vita. It's crazy just how much they seem to hate it.

 

[mephixto]

Well.. there goes the fifth character on USFIV

 

[VariantX]

please let this play good. Have such fond memories of NES strider (even with its awful controls and platforming), please dont destroy them Capcom.

 

[Silky]

It could be possible that Capcom Japan is just using the HEX engine only, and that DH has no involvement with the game whatsoever, much like someone using the Unreal Engine.

Because aren't the creators of Strider like really anal about who uses their property?

 

[CoachKevin]

Vita version...Please?

 

[NateDrake]

I kind of called it!!!

I'm expecting some kind of digital release. Strider HD.

[Papercuts]

If they deliver, yes.

Yeah, it could easily break them if they squander it, of course.

 

[LiK]

where's the damn trailer?

 

[Village]

Double Helix

Conformed for CCCCCC-COMBO BREAKERs

 

[Stone Ocean]

Well.. there goes the fifth character on USFIV

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

 

[Space Runaway]

Not a fan of Double Helix and I don't think KI looks good. So this is...potentially troubling.

 

[Error]

Some people need to read the thread, DH is just doing grunt work.

 

[baphomet]

Goddamn, the flake scan lines are actually in the game? It makes it look like shit.

 

[zroid]

So how are these "original devs" involved? Like the director/producers of Strider are working on it from the Capcom end while Double Helix does the grunt work?

Well whatever, I'm excited! Dunno which version I'll get between PS4 or Wii U.

 

[Nirolak]

Does anyone have a source for the Wii U version outside of twitter?

IGN isn't listing it: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/18/sdcc-capcom-announces-strider-hd

Given that Double Helix's site isn't either I'm kind of wondering, not that I think it's unlikely.

 

[Fabrik]

More screens

Love the look of it. And the scanlines. Very arcadey (Should be optional though).
I need a trailer.
Wii U version is awesome to hear.

 

[Necrovex]

I'll give Double Helix another shot. They've been forced to work on some pretty awful stuff in the past. I hope to see them have a little more freedom. Homecoming was a long time ago, so I'm hoping they can make an awesome Strider game.

This will be my first Strider game too.

 

[legacyzero]

Double Helix = MEH

But Metroidvania?? I'm gonna keep my eye on this one.

 

[Skab]

It's not a knee jerk reaction. It's taking quantifiable data and applying it to something they are working on.

Last I checked KI just got booed by the FGC.

And it's great that the original directors are involved..but that really doesn't mean anything either.

Picasso can direct someone how to paint, but if they can't paint (or in this case, can't make a competent game ala Double Helix) it'll still turn out like shit.

Except it didn't. The booing at Evo was for the exclusivity of it. Everyone that played it at Evo has positive things to say about it, including gaffers. And the actual crowd during the on stage demonstration also enjoyed it.

Stop listening to stream monsters and bad gaming press sites.

 

[Shion]

Metroidvania Strider?

It actually sounds like an awesome combo.

 

[Nirolak]

It could be possible that Capcom Japan is just using the HEX engine only, and that DH has no involvement with the game whatsoever, much like someone using the Unreal Engine.

Because aren't the creators of Strider like really anal about who uses their property?

Double Helix is absolutely for sure making the game.

 

[kasane]

Fuck all the doubters <3

Edit: Uhhh 2.5D open world, Double Helix? Not sure...

 

[Tripon]

That tweet doesn't mention a PC version. Strange.

Ash Paulsen &#8207;@AshPaulsen 3m
@JonGryphon Every platform except Wii U so far.

Ash Paulsen didn't hear a Wii U version either.

 

[TheOGB]

Seriously though, I hope there's a remix of this song somewhere

 

[sleepykyo]

Guys.... guys....

They refer to Strider as a Capcom All Star....

CAPCOM ALL STARS FIGHTING GAME INCOMING!!!

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.

 

[Azure J]

FUCK YES

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Teknoman]

Some people need to read the thread, DH is just doing grunt work.

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

 

[FINALBOSS]

Some people need to read the thread, DH is just doing grunt work.

As I said,

Picasso can tell someone how to paint and direct them along the way, doesn't mean it'll turn out good when they can't paint at all.

DH can't make a game for shit.

 

[Dark Octave]

Well.. there goes the fifth character on USFIV

No.

 

[Knux-Future]

Negative Gaf is negative.

Let's wait and see how it actually looks in action or even better how it plays.

You gotta start somewhere right?

 

[LiK]

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

of course

Hype=dead

Double Helix can technically make a game so all they need good designers and producers/directors. Hopefully that's the case with this.

Guys,

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

[The Dutch Slayer]

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

WTF publishers WTF :O

 

[LordJim]

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.

Most of them played story mode and the tower a few hours and that is it.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Metroidvania Strider?

It actually sounds like an awesome combo.

It really does.

 

[NotLiquid]

Ash Paulsen didn't hear a Wii U version either.

Well fuck.

 

[spindashing]

WHAT THE FUCK

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH yES

 

[HoodWinked]

with KI and Stider

@Double Helix

they're like on the same identical path as Grin studios.

Edit:

Both have made numerous games based on movies
DH: Battleship, Green Lantern
Grin: Wanted, Terminator

Both have worked with the same 3 japanese companies
square enix
capcom
sega

Both worked on a 2.5D of an old classic era game.

Both have developed racing games

Both worked on Stider for this gen/next gen. Grin's was cancelled.

 

[schuelma]

I don't think its Wii U. The Double Helix site doesn't mention it.

[Byronic Hero]

Never played a Strider game before, but this sound pretty cool. Thought it was 3D and Open World, that would have made it a day 1 for me.

 

[jwk94]

Rich from IGN just said no Wii U version coming.

 

[SDBurton]

Oh wow. :O
