Clearly we need to go back to pixel graphics. More undeniable truth that 2D is better than 3D.
I’m slightly surprised Capcom has made a 2D fighting game in the same kind of manner Vanillaware does their non-sprites based 2D stuff.
Capcom seems to be under this weird impression that every 2D fighting game they make must be some bigger thing with 3D models. But they could probably make a new 2D fighting game in the same style as Vanillaware for around a million bucks. Dragon’s Crown was Vanillaware's biggest budget game and that had a budget of just over a million.
Capcom’s 2021 Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection did seem to do something like this. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the leaked but as yet to be announced Final Fight and Captain Commando remakes do this too. But I am surprised they never went this direction for something like a new Darkstalkers or some new version of Street Fighter 2.
