If this rumour turns out to be true then it marks an interesting new twist in games publishing. According to GameInformer we will soon see a new fighting game – ‘Capcom Vs. Namco’ – which will utilise the Street Fighter 4 engine. Characters from the two companies’ biggest games will go head to head so yes, you may see Tekken Vs. Street Fighter. But wait, there is more . . .
Whilst Capcom are beavering away on their game, Namco will be making ‘Namco Vs. Capcom’ but they will utilise the Tekken 6 engine. Two separate games, ‘Capcom Vs. Namco’ and ‘Namco Vs. Capcom’. Details are allegedly to be revealed at Comic-Con this Saturday.
Two of the biggest fighting game publishers making beat ’em ups about each other is unheard of, so three cheers to both teams for working together. It’s certainly better than bitching. I’m not a fan of fighting games but who wouldn’t want to see Pac-Man Vs. Albert Wesker using the Tekken 6 engine or Dante Vs. Galaxian powered by Super Street Fighter?

Ugh… Tekken 6 engine? Seriously? No thanks. I’ll give the SF4 engine one a try, but the Namco offering would be far more enticing if they were using the Soul Calibur 4 engine for it… Would be worth it just to watch the wobblefest fights you could set up between Chun Li and Taki using THAT physics engine :)
