Namco x Capcom NEW trailer! :D

:O :O :O
:D :D :D

Is this a RPG or a fighting game?
I love Capcom's VS games combo system and I love FF: Tactics and this seems to be... both?

It's a strategy RPG like FFT/SRW/etc. When you go into attacks against other enemies though there's a combo system. Think of it as Zell's limit break in FF8 where you hit buttons and combos via prompts to unleash attacks and kickass finishers. :D

Sounds even cooler than I thought.
BTW My Final Heaven is nice but Armageddon Fist kicks much more ass :)

It's a Namco game, not a Capcom one. It's being developed by Monolithsoft (Xenosaga, Baten Kaitos) under the directing supervision of a lead producer/director of the Super Robot Wars series that they snagged some time back.
 
What a fantastic trailer. I was already hyped about the title, even though I've not had a shining history with tactics games, but now? I can't see why the US publishers haven't already announced this as coming.
 
According to EDGE magazine, this started out as a game featuring only Namco characters (as part of Namco's 50th anniversary celebration), but then they felt it wasn't appealing enough and approached Capcom to have their characters included.
 
Hot. If this does reach the US, hopefully it'll have dual language.

Heh, so it started out as a console version of this?

what game are the guy with the white/black hair and the girl with the blonde hair who are using guns?

edit: n/m, they are original characters, no wonder I didn't recognize them. :)
 
And here I thought my shopping was done for this generation after GT4. I WANT THIS SO BAD!

"what game are the guy with the white/black hair and the girl with the blonde hair who are using guns?"

"New heroes"

Yeah, new characters. I like their desing though, especially the pikachu-hair. :lol

PS: 2D MUST NEVER DIE!
 
F#$*ing nice!!!

I love how it appears to be a fighting game and RPG in one and the game looks pretty massive judging by the number of playable characters.

I definitely think they will release this in the US. Both Namco and Capcom have pretty sizable followings here.

I can't wait.

Speaking of which, there's ton of characters (probably from all the RPGs I avoid) in there that I don't recognize at all. Is there a list of included characters somewhere that I can look at?

Edit: This is all I could find and it's appearently incomplete:
http://namco-ch.net/namco_x_capcom/character/index.php

Best list I've seen anywhere was at Gamefaqs sadly. I don't recognize some of the characters, so I don't know how accurate this list is. I've also added a few people that I spotted in the newest trailer, although I think there were more new characters that I just don't recognize.

Is this an adventure type game ala "Kingdom Hearts", or more like a fighter?

thanks


I think it's a bit like Final Fantasy Tactics in the larger areas, but when you collide with other characters (units) for the close-up battle sequences, that's when the fighting game-style input comes into play. That's what it looks like, anyway.
