Michael Hopcroft Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Now that Capocom has sold their RPG rithgts to Living Room Games, I;'m wondering what they'll do with it. Still, i;d like to see soemthuing unoficcial for ti in HEro because: 1, HERO handles the fighting game genre very well, and 2. I suspect that with Campcom poulling the strings, they won't get to do the REALLY inetersting things with the characters. For example, I don't know in LR Games' system willl ahve soom for social disadavnatges (or indeed social anything), yet the classic Capcom fighting game characters should in theory have plenty of them. Street Fighter could practically have a relationship chart. I'm wondering whether I should ask if anyone has that sort of thing in mind.

Susano Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Capcom HERO They'd better do Mega Man justice or I'll be very upset. I talked to the guys at GenCon. There will be 4-5 books. All I can recall is Street Fighter II+, Darkstalkers, and Rival Schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Seeman Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Re: Capcom HERO You know, since there are other Mega Man licensed games out there (Mattel has a board game and Decipher has a TCG) I'm surprised that no one has done a MM RPG. The Mega Man Universe has at least 4 great settings to play in. I'd buy 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paigeoliver Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Re: Capcom HERO What is there exactly to get excited about here? It is doubtful that the combat system will be as good as Hero, it looks like they are just doing the one on one fighting games, wow, I can't WAIT to simulate that!! I like those games too, and I actually own a Streetfighter 2 Jamma board that plugs into my Super Neo 29 arcade cabinet (also have a Neo Geo motherboard for it, 11 cartridges, an X-Men board, and half a dozen other boards for it), but I fail to see how they would possibly be able to do the genre better than Hero could? Personally my guess is that it is going to end up being more along the lines of the old WWF RPG, remember that mess? Also, didn't there used to be a Street Fighter roleplaying game? I am almost certain there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted September 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Re: Capcom HERO Also, didn't there used to be a Street Fighter roleplaying game? I am almost certain there was. Yes, published by White Wolf. I still have it. You had to make cards to write down the charatceristics and damage of your fighter;'s signature moves and the system was really built around one-on-one duels. It used a somewhat more burtal but les lethal 9since SF duels are rarely fogutht to the death) version of the WoD system. The four sourcebooks planned for the Capcom RPG are Street Figher, Darkstalkers, King of Fighters and Rival Schools. No Capcom vs. Marvel, probably because of the licensing issues. (I ratehr doubt we will ever see another Marvel RPG). IIRC, King of Fighters started out as an SNK property. I'm not sure what exactly I would do with these games if I bought them. Converting to HERO seems obvious, but what kind of characters are these? Supers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paigeoliver Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Re: Capcom HERO King of Fighters definitely started out as an SNK property, belongs to Playmore now IIRC. I think they are actually STILL making the dang things. I have the King of Fighters '94 Neo Geo cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A serious of Capcom sourcebooks would be great for ideas, plots, NPCs, and descriptions of the various video game characters. Who cares if the fighting system isn't any good? I'd use it all as a HERO resource anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converting to HERO seems obvious' date=' but what kind of characters are these? Supers?[/quote'] In NINJA HERO, I describe a video game martial artist pretty much as a form of super hero. I certainly would build them on the superheroic scale, with a 150-200 point base and totals of 250-350 points (or more). The various adaptations I have on my website are all built this way. In fact, Midnite Maid, the Shotokan-clone in NINJA HERO is 360 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samaritan Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Re: Capcom HERO D20. OGL, more specifically. The folks at Living Room Games say that it'll be similar to Mutants & Masterminds in regards to chargen. From the demo pack I saw, it felt more like that and d20 mixed together... of course, that could change. They pushed back the release to December due to some rules changes they needed to make. I'm not sure what exactly I would do with these games if I bought them. Converting to HERO seems obvious, but what kind of characters are these? Supers? Ninja HERO would be as good a place to start as any. Probably bring in EBs for things like fireballs and whatnot. *shrug* Now that I'm thinking about it, I'll have to see if I can stat out Bison with his Psycho Crusher and all...
