Street Fighter X Tekken Could Have Had Master Chief and Marcus Fenix as Xbox-Exclusive Fighters

Like the PS3 exclusive Cole, Kuro and Toro characters in Street Fighter X Tekken? There could have been exclusive characters on the Xbox 360 too, y'know...

Good. Master Chief and Fenix are both bummers anyway.

Optical_Matrix4476d ago

I didn't realise that Cole, Toro and Kuro would be coming to the PS3 version too. Looks like I'm gonna have to cancel my pre-order for the 360 version of the game.

BigBoss19644476d ago

So then why didn't they do it then do MS not wanna see their icons getting beat up or something? lol

DeathAvengers4476d ago

MC and Marcus Fenix are like badass ambassadors.

BXbomber4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

yea cuz it would make sense for master chief to fight ryu and what is marcus fenix gonna do? chainsaw ken as a super?.......seriously if MS are/were gonna have exclusive character on the xbox version y not have characters that would make sense in putting them in a fighting game like this. YA xbox pplz need more exclusive IP no joke cuz marcus and chief ain't gonna have a place in any other genre besides shooting.

maddfoxx4476d ago

One of the DoA games had a Spartan has a playable character. The spartan-458 didnt fit into the game, but she was still a great character and had all of the moves that Master Chef had in the halo games.

v1c1ous4476d ago

and Cole, a super powered being who can summon down thunder and do high intensity electrical moves makes sense to put in a fighting game?

Dannycr4476d ago

It does, on a game with a nearly Godlike being like Akuma or even Demon Jin/Kazuya, and you can definitely consider most of Street Fighter characters Super powered or can a a normal human being throw a Hadouken or do a flaming Shoryuken?

DrFUD4476d ago

I agree.
The cats even go since Tekken has the kangaroo and the bear.

NukaCola4476d ago

Raiden from MK, or Blanka... Shocking!?

maddfoxx4476d ago

Sounds like you never played a Japanese fighting game.

Boody-Bandit4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

v1c1ous
Blanka says hello

ooops, shouldve read ahead.
Oh well, still applies.

v1c1ous4476d ago

there's a major difference between raiden/blanka, who can do localized thunder attacks VS Cole who can control a lighting blast over a wide area smartasses

Dannycr4475d ago

Do you realize the kind of argument that you are bringing over to the conversation? Do you know how many volts can Blanka or Raiden (THE FRICKING GOD OF THUNDER)use when they attack? Have you measured them?

Dude it's a frickin japanese game with gods, beasts, over-the-top characters with special killing moves, fire powers, hadoukens, psycho energy...Do you understand how invalid your argument is?

These guys are saying that Marcus and Master Chief does not belong here, because they are not that over the top, they do not have "special abilities" and they both use Guns mainly, they do not have physical attacks. It's like adding Captain Price to Super Smash Bros or something like that.

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC

Responding to a query about frame rate problems from IGN, Capcom said in a statement that performance issues on PC may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.

"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."

just_looken36d ago

What a load of bull there blaming the npc load for there poor performance? the new hitman games has way more going on beyond that they are saying any pc cpu is not powerful enough?

In the article it is also stated a ign reviewr got motion sickness playing ps5/pc version but still enjoyed it? like wow if that was me i would knock it down alot and asked for a patch asap.

So those about to play thank denuvo get a barf bucket if your on pc play 720p because like cites skyline its going to be a unoptimized cpu mess.

Man those on series s/steam deck/rog ally rip :(

Just putting up a pcgamer review

Am I hearing that right, that reviewer with a 4090 is getting drops into the 20s when there's several NPC on screen. Sorry but there's zero excuse for that. BG3 had hundreds at a time on screen and that's a pretty game. What an absolute piss poor engine

just_looken35d ago

@andy

Yes the is correct but every review is giving it a past and or saying that its great that the performance is like the first ps3/xbox one game.

2012 20-30fps 2024 20-30fps dragons dogma keeping things the same reviewers like that apparently

just_looken35d ago

IGN put up a video showing the 4090 struggling aswell as console performance all versions are like the first game with fps issues.Remember dlss 3.0 can almost double your fps like that cyber punk video so without dlss on your looking at 30fps on the most powerful gpu that is out right now.

Cacabunga35d ago

Capcom where is Deep Down???

Tapani35d ago

@andy85 At launch BG3 dropped to under 30fps at the final chapter on 4090. I played the game at launch and had that experience. And that was with a 5800X3D. Everything watercooled and fine-tuned CPU/GPU and memory at 32GB with good timings, and a fast SSD etc.

just_looken35d ago

@tapani

I am sorry are we comparing a AA game with a small budget with alot going on 24/7 to a AAA game funded buy the billion dollar capcom?

You are right yes but that was patched and that team loves there community but if the first dogma said anything we should expect a patch or 2 but that is it.

andy8535d ago

@Tapani indeed but that was hundreds of NPCs. Not a few. It's piss poor

Can they be aware of the need for 60fps on consoles plz

just_looken35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.

But that ps5 pro PSSR will no doubt be a hold back as i see very few devs make a fsr/dlss/pssr game like really sony why did you spend millions to make upscale tech on the 6800 when amd already has fsr 3.0 just sitting there.

I remember the ps4 pro patches that dwindle over time yes new games had the modes but they were not standard and that was without the base ps4 using another upscale tech.

Edit:

In tldr form devs now make fsr upscale for ps5/xbox PSSR upscale tech on ps5 pro game then dlss/fsr upscale tech pc version and we also have intels xess just insane workload

Eonjay35d ago

'Oh no kidding that "pro" model better have a 60fps mode.'

Perhaps but only if Capcom addresses the issues first. substantially more powerful hardware is struggling.

Furesis35d ago

I mean it's not helping but this is something more than that. Plenty of games with denuvo that work fine

just_looken35d ago

That could be also taxing for sure sense the ps5 also supports that dreadful drm

This is also running off the RE engine remember those re vids with the denuvo drm on/off

MrDead35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Project Zomboid a simple looking isometric game has a similar problem as the Zombies are CPU heavy. If this is the issue GPU tweeks won't do anything, you need less calculations per NPC or more static NPCs

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH35d ago

Well that’s just great…looks like I’ll be holding off on buying this on PC until it’s fixed. If I wanted low frame rates I’d just buy it in console smh…

Well there is a lot of laid off talent out there. Very smart of them to target that. Plus if it’s in Japan, that’s a great place to live.

"Won't someone think of the shareholders!!" wwwaaaahhh

Eonjay49d ago

It funny with this news, their stock price took a small hit. But you know what... thats like too damn bad. We have to stop letting shareholders run the industry into the ground.

FinalFantasyFanatic49d ago

Seriously, you have to spend money to make money, I think some companies and share holders forget that, If you don't pay enough, you can't attract the best talent, or possibly even enough staff for the company to function properly.

Eonjay49d ago

I really approve of Capcom for doing this and will show my appreciation by supporting them. There are a few Capcom games I need to get... and this includes Dragon's Dogma 2. Support companies that support the people working in the industry over shareholders! REMEMBER: Shareholder's don't make games!

Darkegg48d ago

25% sounds like a lot, but it's from $1,560 to $2000 per month. That's $24,000 a year. Unless u became a monk, that is below poverty line.
