I was once looking forward to this to replace Street Fighter IV. Man was I wrong.
Capcom has been hypnotized by success. They started off this generation strong with new fresh IPs like Lost Planet and Dead Rising, had their existing Devil May Cry franchise really breaking in the mainstream, and the return of their biggest franchise. Monster Hunter Tri going from completely obscure in the West, to somewhat recognizable. The impossible happened with Tatsunoko vs Capcom being brought stateside and actually selling a very respectful figure for what it was. And Resident Evil 5 became the best selling in the franchise. The company had the quality and quantity output similar to a first party vendor. Many were saying that the company was now their favorite game maker. Even surpassing Nintendo, Blizzard, and Valve. CapGod became a common meme.
Since then company has pretty much started outsourcing their games. Bionic Commando was the first try with this experiment and it failed miserably. They tried it again with Lost Planet 2 as it was outsourced and was shit. And again with Dead Rising 2. And it looks like Lost Planet 3 is going the same route. The rise of the fighting game genre has led to intense milking. Super Street Fighter IV was a fair deal, $30, tons of content, over a year later. But then Super Street Fighter IV Arcade edition was a reach too far. Not only was it yet another revision, but it was the same (or was it even more?) price as Super but with less new content. And to top it off it was actually made to be more unbalanced. They fixed this with the recent 2012 version but I can't help but think they had plans to release another revision of AE met up with their expectations. Sort of an Accent Core Plus edition in which they just add back in what they took away from the previous revision while adding a new story mode or something. Marvel vs Capcom 3 was even more puzzling. It was a very successful release but it was unfinished. But what was absolutely ridiculous was Capcom release a revision only some months after the original. On a holiday season no less.
But this game took it to a whole new level. First off from the get go people were making fun of this when it was revealed. Mostly because Capcom had said a few weeks ago that they would not be putting CvS2 on XBLA/PSN because they didn't want to "oversaturate the market". Yet they were releasing something as random as Street Fighter X Tekken. Who asked for this? And how does this make sense? I mean Street Fighter and Tekken are pretty different worlds. And why not Street Fighter X Mortal Kombat? Wouldn't that make more sense? Two big rivals in gaming. Tekken sounds better for a crossover with Virtual Fighter not Street Fighter. Not to mention the game looked pretty lazy. The asset reusing was on Capcom 90's levels. It was just like their sprites, they just exported their 3D models from Street Fighter IV, but them in this game and changed the color effects. DONE! But regardless, there were a lot of people excited to play this. Too bad that this game was released unfinished and shit.
Between this, the canceling of MML3, the lame looking dmc remake, and Operation Raccoon City. The company has turned to being one of the most admired companies in the industry, to a joke.
