Those aren't two interpretations of the same piece of news; if Game Informer are to be believed, then two fighting games are currently in development, both pitting the stars of Namco against the stars of Capcom.

If this is true I'll finally be able to stomp those weak little Capcom characters with Ganryu-

Nice! I wasn't really into those SNK vs Capcom. Then again, I never really played those too much. But this looks interesting.

**Slime Slayer** · 07-20-2010, 02:46 PM

Capcom and Namco fighting games play so differently, this is either fake, or one of those companies is gonna have to sacrifice the gameplay of their respective series.

**joz** · 07-20-2010, 02:52 PM

Good point Steven. After thinking about it, I'm gonna say it's a fake. Sucks but oh well.

**Dudebro** · 07-20-2010, 03:11 PM

If it's real the whole projectile thing is gonna be a sticking point. How do you make it fair when Tekken/Soul Caliber Characters don't have them?

**Slime Slayer** · 07-20-2010, 03:19 PM

Plus Capcom characters just fly all over the screen, where as the Namco games have a more realistic physics engine.

**Dudebro** · 07-20-2010, 03:25 PM

Well from what I read it said both companies would make their own versions. Maybe Capcom will make the Tekken/SC crew go all Crouching Tiger and make their moves have projectiles of some kind? I can't imagine how Namco would balance SF characters though. Removing high flying and projectiles would kill some of the characters.

**Demon-Mask** · 07-20-2010, 04:22 PM

The problem I have with the idea is that Capcom tends to make 2D fighting games with projectiles and characters that can jump their height, while Namco tends to make 3D fighting games with very few projectiles and characters with a more realistic ability to jump.

But if it is true:
I can't wait to kick Ryu's ass as Heihachi.

**samejamesbond** · 07-20-2010, 09:05 PM

Well it isn't too far fetched:

But I've been wanting a Namco vs. Capcom fighting game ever since I heard of
Namco x Capcom. An RPG TBS is nice, but I'd rather let my fists do the talking.

**Dudebro** · 07-20-2010, 09:13 PM

How did that game play? RPG TBS sounds awesome but I've never heard of that game until now.

**samejamesbond** · 07-20-2010, 09:31 PM

Here's some gameplay with Strider, Ken, and Mike Haggar:

So it's another JP only game? My god I'm getting so sick of that.

Saddly yes, we may never see a game like that again.

Just look at the awesome character list:
Namco × Capcom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

**Dudebro** · 07-20-2010, 10:08 PM

Damn that game is probably epic. Without even playing it I know I'd love it. Maybe in twenty years or so RU will get it and I can try it.

**samejamesbond** · 07-20-2010, 10:25 PM

Hopefully.

But my mind would explode of they made these games.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 07-21-2010, 09:04 AM

I wouldn't mind crushing Zangief with Eddy or King. Let's hope it turns out to be true

**samejamesbond** · 07-21-2010, 09:45 AM

Not Mike Haggar?

**fenrir1887** · 07-21-2010, 12:23 PM

I'd try and pit Haggar against Zangief or even against guys like King or Bryan Fury.

**Tails** · 07-21-2010, 12:29 PM

That game looks so good..

**CatalystiCam** · 07-23-2010, 02:13 AM

The just featured the story on ep daily, (it's on g4 tech tv for those who don't know) and they said that it's going to use a capcom engine. They did also state that game informer was the source, so so far it's still just the one source.

**Demon-Mask** · 07-23-2010, 04:59 PM

They are using the Capcom engine, that could be cool, but they'd have to completely redo the move sets of the Namco characters.

**Dudebro** · 07-23-2010, 11:51 PM

If this happens I bet they leave out a lot of the better Tekken characters to make it work. The only other option is to butcher them and give them projectiles or big flashy attacks.

**Demon-Mask** · 07-24-2010, 01:36 PM

That wouldn't be cool, I can't imagine giving a character like Heihachi projectile attacks. There is a move where he mirrors the motion to do a projectile attack, but there is no projectile and it is just a good close range move.
