The meeting appeared impossible, but Capcom and Namco decided to join to create NAMCOxCAPCOM (to pronounce Namco Capcom cross-country race), new Tactic-RPG PS2 where the most famous characters of the two editors will be brought together for a gigantic cross-country race over in the form of homage. Yes, on the model of the series Super Robot Taisen, one will be able to cross on the checkerworks of the play a casting of dream come straight of the largest productions from the two editors. At Capcom, one will find a quota of Street Fighters , with inter alia Ryû, Ken, Chun-Li, Vega, Gôki, Cammy, Juli and Juni, but also of the characters of Darkstalkers like Demitri and Morrigan, Arthur de Ghouls ' N Ghosts, Hiryû de Strider, Regina de Dino Crisis or even Bruce MacGavin de Resident Evil: Dead Aim. At Namco, it will be necessary of course to count on the characters of RPG and plays of baston, with KOS-MOS, Shion and M.O.M.O. of Xenosaga, characters of different Bruise of, or even Mitsurugi de SoulCalibur and Jin Kazama de Tekken. Other less known characters on our premises, like Klonoa and its friends, the Valkyrie of Legend Valkyrie or Wonder Momo.

All these characters will come to marry the intrigue of the play, at the sides of a new couple of hero built there still on the model of Super Taisen Robot, with side the young person good-looking young man equipped with a large firearm, and other a sexy heroin provided with a stick. Different the maps from the play will refer obviously to the multitude of plays of each universe. The infos on the system of combat remain vague enough for the moment, but it is known all the same that the characters will be able to carry out ultimate techniques by inflating their gauge with the MAX, and to even launch out in combined attacks when two characters are associated. One can thus see Morrigan and Demitri to maltreat two enemies at the same time with their EX Combos. As in a traditional play of combat, it will be possible to carry out some sequences of blows at the time of the sequences of combat itself, with simple handling and beforehand selected blows. The meter of hits to the screen will make it possible to appreciate the extent of the damage. Some points of experiment no-claims bonus will be allotted besides at the time of the K.O., to facilitate the rise in level of the characters. Developed by Monolith Software, with which one owes already the series Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos, NAMCOxCAPCOM is planned for next May in Japan. This stage of development (70%), it is still too early to evoke a localization in Europe and in the United States.

Heh that's what scares me whether you're joking in that post or not (Uncertain), but how could Namco's fighting games ever merge with a Capcom fighting game? The mechanics are completely different...

Wouldn't work.

Tekken/Soul Calibur can successfully be translated to 2D. Fireballs aren't that important. Kazuya has a dragon punch and a lunging kick. The unblockables and 10-hit combos could be supers. And Ivy would be the shit. And then comes KOS-MOS...

Should this thread be in other section rather than here?

Someone should contact Mr. Wizard about getting a mod here. He won't let me be the mod (long story), so please, whoever is kind enough to volunteer to him, please contact him about this.

This Thread is in another section. The Fighting Game Discussion Forum. And it was created by Time_Stop yesterday when this was new news! Just another one of marinitolove's threads that should of never been created. I don't think martinitolove is a bad person, but you need to stop creating threads gosh darn it.

01-28-2005, 12:46 PM

hey
i deleted the other tread (gay fun one) and shorted this one too.

now that there are interesting new facts, i hope that we can talk seriously. all of us.

i think that tread in the games section is bad, cause there are not only sf fans postin, and the mass opinion about this game is not good.

this post feels all right here, cause we can ask udon for example, if he is helping develop this game too... (do you, Udon?)

we, sf fans, do not need other treads, cause this is the best one!!!

and by the way, there are (rather new) pictures availible:

And why would Udon have anything to do with this? They did a little bit in the fighting stuff but this isn't fighters... And isn't this being made by the Namco half?

Yeah, it is being made by Namco (and martin knew that already, but used that excuse to try and justify the thread) so this...

this post feels all right here, cause we can ask udon for example, if he is helping develop this game too... (do you, Udon?)

= double stupid.

Anyways yeah its being made by Namco just like that POV Code Veronica was, which was made by Capcom just giving Namco the CV engine and Namco combining it with their Time Crisis tech.

Game companies dont usualy ever work together on a crossover because they can never agree on anything, like the first Capcom VS SNK game started out being devloped by both companies, and it was taking FOREVER cause they couldnt agree on how the game should look, play, etc, etc, then SNK had financial troubles which caused them to back out, so Capcom took over, but then eventually SNK got their chance to make the game they wanted it.

The only games I know of that are/were being co-developed was Kigdome Hearts 1&2 (50 Disney animators or whatever were part of the team) and the upcoming Sammy Vs Capcom is the sameway basicly (half the team are Capcom employees)

I just don't see this as a justifiable compensation for lack of a 2-D fighting game. I know Capcom won't make another SF 2-D game but, I just think its slap to the face for them to not only NOT make a good LAST 2-D fighting game but then to allude to "Sammy vs Capcom", only to get a "simulated RPG"? This only provides me another reason to purchase an artbook. The Art department from Capcom and Namco are extremely talented and I would end up getting an artbook from the game, and thats it.

1. Capcom is not making this game nor do they have anything to do with it. They loaned their characters out. That's it. No conspiracy. Sammy vs. Capcom is another story entirly. They can't fake a press conference with Sammy Employees that announced Sammy vs. Capcom (which is what happened) just to psyke the public out where Sammy would have nothing to gain from it. We don't know what's up with Sammy vs. Capcom due to lack of official announcements from either side. We can speculate, but speculation is no comparison to an official announcement.

2. This game came about because Namco wanted to do something big for their 50th Anniversary (they've been around longer than video games, like Nintendo, they used to make toys) and they could only come up with 100 Namco characters so they used this oppurtunity to get closer to Capcom, and Capcom allowed them to use their characters. Capcom actually performed a friendly gesture towards Namco.

03-04-2005, 08:55 AM

its like what some of you guys are saying. A vs could happen if the companies would work together. Just like what SNK and capcom did. Just make an agreement and sign a contract that each company would make a game. And if you really think about it its not that hard to get together. Capcom would just make a 2D fighter thats really just street fighter vs. Tekken and all they would have to do is make the 2D sprites and change the moves around alittle to work with the street fighters. Then Namco would just make a 3D game making the SF's 3D and changing around there moves to work with the tekken characters.

Its really simple if you think about it. Also just for the record, this is just ideas. I already know Capcom sold SF rights to the US and both Capcom and Tekken's systems are different. WHO GIVES A RATS ASS! Its just a what if.

You can get the soundtrack in Japan for free if you pre-order it. It has the song in the Trailer plus a bunch of songs from the games it represents, like Chun-Li's SF2 song is there. It doesn't seem like it's the game's true soundtrack because I think that would have more songs than this. Anyway, here's the CD.
