“The long awaited dream match-up between the two leaders in the fighting genre becomes a reality. STREET FiGHTER X TEKKEN, delivers the ultimate tag team match up featuring iconic characters from each franchise, and one of the most robust character line ups in fighting game history. With the addition of new gameplay mechanics, the acclaimed fighting engine from Street Fighter IV been refined to suit the needs of both Street Fighter and TEKKEN players alike.
SF X Tekken is the first part of an upcoming crossover between Capcom and Namco.
This one will be developed by Capcom, under Ono (SF4) supervision unlike the recent Vs. games Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.
First here's some in-game screenshots:
As a fighting game fan I can say this is looking nice.
Characters confirmed seem to include Ryu, Ken, Guile, Able, and Chun-Li from Street Fighter and Kazuya, Nina, King, Marduk, and Bob from Tekken.
The engine used here looks like, and as been confirmed to be the one from (Super)SF4.
So I'm guessing with it the same game presentation, modes and online (though I'm sure they'll tweak that a bit, upgrade it).
The game will be out in 2012 on Xbox, PS3, and PC.
Here's the trailer:
Here's an interview of Ono & co:
And some gameplay to show how the Tekken crew will be integrated in the world of SF:
As you can it looks pretty close to SF (milking the engine much?) and the Tekken character seem nicely integrated despite one might think.
Oh and DINOSAURS!! (Dino Crisis reference?)
