Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada has explained that Tekken X Street Fighter, the long awaited pairing of Namco and Capcom's flagship fighter series, is still in the works, and that the game is a 'long term' project.
And Tekken Resurrection could be headed to Xbox.
The reports of Tekken X Street Fighter's death have been greatly exaggerated and the game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, isn't too thrilled about the mistake.
"the game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, "
The game actually has a director. Don't know whether to laugh or cry - what the hell has he been doing ?
Tekken x Street Fighter is officially dead as confirmed by the game director and Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada. The game was announced long ago.
Dan Rizzo says "where is Tekken X Street Fighter? Was its reveal all for naught? Are we lead to believe that Harada’s still holding out after Ono’s departure? Will we ever see a draft of its early development phase? These are all questions that will remain – along with the title itself – in video gaming purgatory."
I think IF this game ever happened, they would remaster Street Fighter X Tekken just for the sake of it being up to date with Tekken X Street Fighter.
I can't imagine Capcom being ok with Tekken X Street Fighter being on the PS5/Series X/S while Street Fighter X Tekken is literally two system generations behind.
I believe that both companies are doing well with their own fighting game atm so they don't see the urgency to produce that title. But I could see some Cameo appearing on Sf6 or the next Tekken game.
So much fun on the vita, combos tagged to the touch screen meant some easy cross platform wins.
So Ono wasn't joking all this time? I thought he was being sarcastic about the game being released in 2020, but I could understand the challenges they are having. I personally think they shouldn't quit even if takes some time. The reason why I'm excited about this game is solely for the art direction. I feel that Tekken team has improved drastically when it comes down to making their characters look good, so I really can't wait to see how Chun Li turns out. Seeing how Harada has a lot of respect for the Street Fighter series, I guess the project will turn out good. As for now, we can only dream......
I am very curious on how they will do a lot of the Capcom characters that rely so heavy on projectiles/zoning. Tekken is such a in your face, crucial timing and juggle heavy game that shoto's won't seem to have a chance. Not to mention the steeping to the right or left to dodge any projectile will make it hard for shoto's.
We'll see.
I wish there were a tekken x virtua fighter.
hes going to make it a brilliant game, its nice to see they arnt going to rush anything, nothing but great games from harada.
I have been waiting on this one forever.
