Damn it Capcom! Why do you tease me!

Almost there... almost there...

You could've picked Bandai and give me my cherished dream of Kamen Rider doing a Rider Kick towards Ryu's face or the Green Dragon Ranger summoning his Dragonzord while stomping on Chun-Li. Or maybe have the obscure one where you have a Space Sheriff summon his galaxy bazooka to blast off Bison from space.

;_;

EDIT: Yay links!

Capcom, put some Rival Schools chars and I'm sold. Thx.

This "Namco vs Capcom" sounds like "SNK vs Capcom", where SNK stands for KoF and Capcom stands for Street Fighter.

 

[Anony]

if true, this is the worse scheduling ever

in essence, they are announcing THREE versus games in the same time period

Seriously. I was pulling for a new Darkstalkers or maybe even a new franchise. SF4 was such a great refreshing breath of life in the genre, I was hoping for oldies to be re-established or something new. Something like this makes me worry that the higher-ups think this is a fad and they better cash-in as quick as possible.

 

[fubarduck]

So 3 games with "versus" in the title (which has no weight on the gameplay whatsoever), all targeting completely different markets, is bad scheduling? It's been said a few times already, but MVC2/CVS1/CVS2/SVC Chaos all came out within about a 3-year span.

Anyway, our judgment should be reserved until Saturday!

 

[Boss Doggie]

I really, REALLY hope the Namco thing is a rumor and what they really want to say is Bandai.

Spoiler

I just need my tokusatsu vs capcom fix

 

[Mileena]

Who would buy the Namco version? :lol

Any fighting game fan? But who knows, Namco might surprise us and provide a better game.

 

[Boss Doggie]

nope.avi

A man can dream, though... A man can dream.

"Our"? Don't you mean "your"? The likes of you and MarkMan probably have known about this any way. :lol

 

[Jay Shadow]

If they took liberties and expanded the Capcom character's move lists I'd definitely check it out to see what they came up with. Of course if it's all launchers and jabs then I'd skip it.

 

[Anony]

LOL, are you delusional, going by the name basis alone, i can argue that half of the targeted people are the same market, plus it's all fighting games

fighting games are going to be the new fps, there's way too many on the market today at the rate this is going

 

[TreIII]

LOL, are you delusional, going by the name basis alone, i can argue that half of the targeted people are the same market, plus it's all fighting games

And you still wouldn't be correct. Namco games do more to appeal to their own demographic, just as Capcom games appeal to their own demographic. That's part of the reason why people are a bit "iffy" about this prospect in the first place, because they can't imagine how some characters would perform in one game style vs. another.

Not to mention the notion that Namco's game is much more likely to hit arcades, while Capcom's game may skip arcades entirely. Yet another notion of how the games will cater to different markets altogether.

Actually FPS are the new fighting games, which were the new sidescrollers.

I can tell you right now, going by name basis alone, that if CvS3 were announced it would attract different people than MvC3.

If I like Halo, it doesn't mean I give a shit about the next Call of Duty to be announced.

 

[Nemesis_]

I can't foresee any future where the Namco version would be more interesting.

 

[parasight]

Why does everyone keep talking about the inferior Namco fighter? SOUL CALIBUR VS. STREET FIGHTER! /fistpump

 

[LowParry]

Why does everyone keep talking about the inferior Namco fighter? SOUL CALIBUR VS. STREETFIGHTER! /fistpump

:lol

Why, so we can have some more Yoda and Vader? Fuck that. If that's what keeps SC alive I rather see it dead for good.

 

[Gospel]

sad if true

Pretty much. Guess it's time to stop holding my breath for power stone or something new.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Namco vs. Capcom implies characters like Klonoa and maybe, say, Yuri? Maybe?

 

[LowParry]

Namco vs. Capcom implies characters like Klonoa and maybe, say, Yuri? Maybe?

I'd expect to see a mix of Tekken/Soul Calibur/Tales of.../ characters in. Klonoa would be pretty damn cool. Although I wonder if we'd see any of the Bandai side come along with it.

 

[Skilletor]

Depends on whether you like Capcom or Namco fighters, I'd guess.

 

[parasight]

:lol

Ever wonder what Chun Li & Sakura would look like with double D titties? Namco's about to unleash.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

A Lightan-style Gundam would be amazing.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Actually FPS are the new fighting games, which were the new sidescrollers.

I disagree. Only fighting games that "sell well" are those with brands.

 

[Ashodin]

I can find that out every night. Yeahhhhhhh.

 

[viewtiful_dru]

BlazBlue?

 

[Nabs]

It's probably sad that I am hoping most for a SSF4 PC announcement at Comic-Con, as cool as NvC sounds (at least Capcom's version of NvC).

dude, we're never getting this :\

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I'm down for Capcom vs. Namco, but IDK about Namco vs. Capcom. Playing with Street Fighter characters on a 3d field is just...wrong.

 

[Barakov]

They've tried this before and it didn't work. 2D or I'm not interested.

 

[Boss Doggie]

BlazBlue?

Is being backed by Arksys enthusiasts from Guilty Gear and despite of that, not as "powerful" as SF as a brand.

 

[Finaika]

Who would buy the Namco version? :lol

Non Capcom fanboys.

 

[robor]

So it's confirmed that it will be atleast a versus fighting game?

 

[duckroll]

So it's confirmed that it will be atleast a versus fighting game?

I don't think Ono would suddenly produce a non-fighting game.

 

[robor]

Ok, let me rephrase. So it's confirmed that it will be atleast a X vs. Y fighting game?

 

[duckroll]

Ok, let me rephrase. So it's confirmed that it will be atleast a X vs. Y fighting game?

Nope. It seems likely given the rumors, but I'm still holding out hope that it's a new Darkstalkers game.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I will literally take anything but Tekken/Namco.

 

[robor]

Nope. It seems likely given the rumors, but I'm still holding out hope that it's a new Darkstalkers game.

It's the only reason why I subscribed to this thread.

 

[CryptiK]

Namco vs Capcom would be awesome
Capcom vs Namco would be doubly as awesome

I want both and I expect them to be delivered. Problem is Namco isn't showing at Comic Con is it? its a co-developed co-published game so wouldn't Namco want to be there?

Namco is low on cash and it doesn't seem like they have anything special in development, I wouldn't be surprised if Namco and Capcom merge at some point.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Well, the Capcom version would be automatically better since the Tekken-engine still couldn't handle projectiles appropriately.

They may be modeled in 3D now, but Street Fighter characters still cannot fundamentally exist with sidestepping.

Tekken characters, on the other hand, should be just fine on a 2D plane.

Maybe because, you know, Tekken is a basicaly a projectile-less game? :lol

There are maybe 0.1% projectile moves and all of them bar one are just joke/gag moves.

Didn't you think that if and that's a big "if" this rumour is true, then SF characters would not actualy have projectile moves in "Tekken version"?

In Tekken world Ryu and Ken would be just Karate practitioners. Hadouken would be just open palm close chest smash with and Tatsumaki a jumping spin kick.

I'm more puzzled how Tekken characters would work in SF since they have no crazy super moves. There are flashy moves ofcourse, but "flashy" if you compare it to real life, not flashy in SF world. Mishima family has this "electric" flavor, but if they start throwing lightning bolts in SF it would be hilarious.

 

[AAK]

If this rumor is indeed true, It could be the SC team that's concentrating on the Namco side. And if that is true as well I hope they tone down the fanservice. :lol

 

[Prime crotch]

The most credible rumour says it's Tekken vs Street Fighter, not Namco just plain Tekken.

 

[Caj814]

Of course they will!

 

[IntelliHeath]

If that's so then I'm not interested. It would be so weird to see Tekken in 2D or SF in 3D.


If they decide to sell MvC3 and Tekken vs SF at same time, then i would pick MvC3 for sure.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

For the Tekken characters I'm thinking Viper and her thunder knuckles for the mishimas with them maybe generally playing like makoto mixed with Ryu or something but then they will probably give some of the other characters random projectiles and way's to safely close the distance safely if they are not grappling characters.

 

[ULTROS!]

Maybe it's Dino Crisis?

Has it been confirmed that it's a fighting game?
