It's not the first time that two rival fighting game families have come together in a controversial, unexpected marriage. But when Capcom and SNK ran away together a decade ago, at least the two parties lived on the same side of town: 2D, sprite-based fighters that shared DNA and - in the case of some members of the Street Fighter and King of Fighters casts - a creator in Takashi Nishiyama.
Or it's about to leave the storefront like another Capcom title.
With Street Fighter 6 now upon us, it's time to look back at some classic Street Fighter titles, beginning with Street Fighter X Tekken.
It was a cool gamble imo. In reality, everyone were waiting for Namco version, Tekken X Street Fighter.
Yep, played very little of it, but from what I played, it was serviceable enough. Could've been better? Yes, but then again, you can say that about pretty much anything.
What killed this game was their planned reliance on GaaS with the whole gem system. It made little sense and made the game extremely unbalanced. Not to mention the unbalance of most of the characters, especially on the Tekken side
Ahhh the game that Capcom had DLC on the disc on release yet you had to pay to unlock it
VGChartz's Daniel Parker: "Tekken and Street Fighter - two giants of the head-to-head fighting genre. A clashing of decades-old titans that was once thought to be a dream matchup that would never happen. It ignited a flame of excitement that quickly fizzled out and became a cautionary tale for game developers."
Dang SFxTekken is getting pretty good ratings by nearly all outlets. I'm starting to actually get excited for this game. I might pick it up at midnight tonight instead of waiting till morning.
AC has genuinely been developed as seperate games, this and the DLC has been teased as ye same game. It's exactly like the Catwoman issue, except Capcom want money. You know they are not doing the Rught thing, they know they aren't! Why call it anything other than a gouge. DLC needs regulation and MS and Sony need to implement it. I know it's just an opinion but it is fair in my book and protects all parties, consumers and developers alike. Why not throw in distribution rules to stop 2nd games being oversold. Give developers a royalty for each 'sale' regardless.
As it is at the moment, FU Capcom... You'll get my money from the bargain bin.
