I think its pretty safe to say that the mocking of this horrid game on general gaming forums reached the decision makers at MGS. Look what we did with Wallguy.

I bet Namco Japan reads GAF regularly. After Tales of the Tempest pics first came out and it got universally panned, they delayed it twice to an indefinite date now. Then FCK got universally panned and they delayed it twice. It still got mocked over and over, so now it's canned.

Neo GAF - Deciding what Namco releases tomorrow, today.

This game needed this, but I'm really worried about Namco right now.
I don't think they're gonna survive this gen without some external assistance.

It's not like Tekken is a crap franchise that needs to make a major "comeback" especially with the release of the stellar Tekken 5 game (and Tekken 5 DR on the PSP is going to do great). One crappy video is not going to topple a franchise like Tekken, it's easily Namco's biggest franchise.

I'm thinking the Namco side of the business will just become a Gundam code house. If that's what you want, congrats. But right now, there's not a lot of Namco IP that's going to reap huge rewards in the future. Great timing to kill of Katamari, eh.

You know as shitty as that car part is, I really liked that one pic with the dude standing around the city surrounded by neon signs.

PS3 AM BOMBA! CANCEL SABOTAGE 360! INITIATE SABOTAGE PS3!

First Project: Full Auto 2.

Second Project: Tekken 6.

:lol
 
I'm glad Namco are putting their resources into something (hopefully) better - this always looked like it would end up being crap. They should have learned a lot about 360 development during this, and fingers crossed it will speed up the early stages of whatever they turn to next.
 
I wish they would just release it as is for 20 bucks. I mean shit, they have probably spent a couple million on it already, let us explore this hideous world they have created. Don't just can it, at least port it to the DS. Shouldn't take more then a couple of days.
 
theres no tekken 6 footage per say. I think they threw that thing together at the last minute at sony's request. you do get the feeling that a majority of the japanese developers stayed away from E3 to focus on development + work towards TGS.

well, I get that feeling anyhow. This years E3 is so western dominated in so many ways

They could release their most recent code as an XBL demo.

I agree, but careful that might be considered damage control on these boards. :lol

That "footage" was PS2 quality though, character model of Lili ripped straight from Tekken 5 DR. Well animated but graphically feasible on the PS2. And the whole pacing of the trailer was just so damn rushed, it was clear they came up with that at the last minute. Really more of an announcement teaser... but they could've just used CGI.

And Bootguy/SC:Ghost. I think you're onto something.

That would be awesome. I think that the biggest trainwreck of a game, is always more entertaining then a mediocre game.
 
One of my old friends bought a 360 just for FCK.

There are so many things hilarious about that.
 
Really though, Namco had no business producing something so shoddy. Let's not forget their jet fighter game for 360 also. PROJECT SABOTAGE ain't over just yet...

Good idea, except don't take credit for it. Slap "Konami/Team Kojima" on the box as a joke. A good knee-slapper for the masses, something to tell your grandchildren.

I think you mean the Taito game in that fighter case?
 
:lol


figures, once it didnt show up at e3... game over for the frame city killer. namco needs help... their games look like garbage... in the past they created some of the best looking games to ever grace a console...


now it's...

WTF is up?
 
Jonnyram said:
Yeah, they're obviously working on the Tekken 6 graphics engine now.
Hope they can get a refund for the Unreal Engine they bought.

:lol
 
Fuck I was totally still saving up points to win a 360 at the Frame City Killer viral marketing website!

Screw you, Namco!
 
Epic is thankful for Namco's contribution and will use the money to make Unreal Tournament 2007 and Gears of War even better.
 
Do people realize that Tekken 6 was nothing but a cut scene and not a fighting game at all? 0_o You are absolutely nuts if you think Tekken 6 will have anything to do with that.

... is a cut scene.

Who knows what the pos they showed during Sony's conference was.

Well that's a great argument, but unfortunately most of the PS3 stuff shown at E3 was just "a cut scene". It works both ways.

that was a real time cut scene... you're deluding yourself if you think it dont look like that.

ridge racer 7 probably will look like ass too.

the only two reasons for me to buy a ps3 at launch have just been erased.

namco devs needs to pick up a manual or something... learn how to make a pretty game.
