Capcom addresses the backlash regarding their DLC strategy.
Capcom has been under some heat lately due to their usage of on-disc DLC with some of their games, such as Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken. Capcom is listening, and has recently made a statement on their Ask Capcom forums.
PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita owners will be able to fight against each other online.
Capcom revelead during this year's Captivate that when Street Fighter X Tekken releases on the PlayStation Vita, owners will be able to fight PlayStation 3 players online. Furthermore, PlayStation Vita owners will be able to take the game online using 3G, as well as the standard WiFi connection.
The World Warrior vs. the King of the Iron Fist – Who will win?
If you were to ask a fighting game fan if they wanted to see the combatants of Street Fighter and Tekken go at it five years ago, they would probably say "Definitely!" then quickly add, “But it will never happen.”
Characters, costumes and more will be released starting April 3.
Capcom has released their plans for delivering Street Fighter X Tekken DLC packs. These will consist of both free and paid content throughout the whole year in an effort to keep the game fresh and interesting for fans. Starting on April 3, 2012, various costumes, quick combos, color packs, gems, and characters will be periodically released.
The Xbox 360's "architecture" is said to be the cause for the missing feature.
When Street Fighter X Tekken was released last Tuesday, many players found out that the Xbox 360 version didn't include four player co-op mode - which allows you and a friend to team up locally and take on another team online - despite it being mentioned as a feature in the instructional manual and being available on the PlayStation 3 version.
The 12 characters won't be exclusive to the portable after all.
Capcom's Seth Killian told Shacknews that the 12 extra characters in the Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken will eventually come to consoles. "We'll find a way to make sure that console fans are happy, as well," Killian noted.
The Number 1 Contender for Fighting Game Champion.
This generation has been extremely kind to the fighting game enthusiast. Not only have we seen the rebirth of franchises such as Street Fighter, SoulCalibur and King of Fighters, but we have seen things happen that were previously unlikely for the genre. Nobody thought we would see Marvel vs. Capcom 3 after 10 years, yet last year we got not one, but two different versions of the long-awaited sequel.
A reality show is also in the works.
The PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken is getting 12 extra characters not yet announced for the console versions. In addition to the previously announced Sony exclusive characters, Pac-Man, Cole, Toro, Kuro, and Box-Art Mega Man, Capcom is also including Street Fighter's Elena, Guy, Cody, Sakura, Dudley and Blanka, and Tekken's Alisa, Christie, Jack, Brian, Lars and Lei.
Two characters are confirmed alongside two new leaks.
It seems that characters for Capcom's upcoming fighter are leaking on a fairly regular basis. The recent ESRB rating points to a reveal of Alisa and Lei, while both M. Bison and Xiaoyu were leaked by some telling images on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The most recent leak comes courtesy of a Taiwanese product listing for their collector's edition of the game. The listing confirms both Xiaoyu and M. Bison, but reveals both Akuma and Ogre. Jin is also depicted, but was revealed in trailers released by Capcom in the past.
The Trolling Continues...
Capcom officially announced yesterday that both Pac-Man and the bad box-art version of Mega Man are confirmed for the PlayStation 3 and PSVita versions of Street Fighter X Tekken. This brings the total of Sony exclusive characters to five, also with Infamous' Cole, and Sony mascots Kuro and Toro.
