VIDEO: Bandai Namco is set to deliver another two-hit combo
Matt Hawkins For those who have been asking “Gee, it’s it about time we got more Tekken and Soul Calibur?” Guess what; you’re right!
Earlier today, Namco revealed a slew of games headed towards you console or handheld in the coming months. For the time being, let’s concentrate on two notable franchise additions, staring with Soul Calibur 5…
Okay, there’s really not much to talk about here. It’s just another teaser trailer with a few flashes of familiar faces, plus one possible newbie. Still, it’s Soul Calibur! Though like many hardcore fans, the last one left me a bit cold… Never-mind how far too convoluted the storyline has become, the biggest offense was how needlessly complex the new damage system was. Hopefully the next chapter will do away with all that weapon and armor nonsense, and make things less of a button masher. I also wasn’t a fan of the art direction, which basically made all the femme fatales look like prostitutes. Though more than anything else, I just hope there are NO MORE GUEST CHARACTERS. All that Star Wars b.s. seriously dragged everything down.
Next we have Tekken! And sorry, not Tekken X Street Fighter as many had been hoping for. Remember, we’re talking about Namco’s take on the world colliding… Capcom’s is called Street Fighter X Tekken, which most know about already. Apparently, they haven’t even started work on it yet! At least Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is coming along just fine…
Actually, that trailer is from a while ago (but since it has yet to grace this site, I think it’s all good). Unfortunately, no new footage of the game was revealed, but the most important thing is how it’s still on pace!
Though the real Tekken news is Tekken Blood Vengeance. Which isn’t a new game but a CGI flick…
Doesn’t look half bad! Very similar to that Resident Evil CGI movie that came out not too long ago (and for good reason; animation is being handled by the same folks). At the very least, it looks miles above the crappy live-action movie that was such a stinker that it never came out in American theaters (I believe it was projected on various tiny screens throughout Asia though)…
… The movie finally comes out on DVD and Blu-ray in America in July.
