Tekken X Street Fighter: Harada wants to surprise people with something unexpected, character lineup decided a -long time ago
Bandai Namco's Katsuhiro Harada wants to bring something new to the table fans aren't expecting for Tekken X Street Fighter, the long promised entry which will pit the two fighting game franchises against each other again.
Expressing that expectations for TxSF have been built up a bit too much due to delays, Harada feels like they will need some kind of twist to draw people in.
"Tekken X Street Fighter is a game that's already been announced publicly. Just putting it out on the shelves won't be fun at all, after this long wait, so we need some sort of 'surprise'," said Harada.
Reason for the delay, Tekken X Street Fighter may end up being a working title
Harada repeated what he said previously about why Tekken X Street Fighter had been delayed — namely that it was difficult to get the game out when they had a lot of numbered titles being released.
They're facing a similar situation now with the upcoming releases of Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7.
He added that the game known as Tekken X Street Fighter is actually just a working title, and when it's released, it may be called something different.
'Surprise' could be the reason for game's title change; character lineup and models have been completed
Some many be shocked to learn that the character lineup for TxSF was decided long ago, and the models and system are already done as well.
"It might look like we've made no progress at all, but we actually decided the character lineup quite some time ago, and we've also completed the polygon models, the moves and the game system as well," Harada stated.
Still, the game could change shape, if what Harada has in mind comes to fruition. Apparently, he's had this thought for awhile, but hasn't announced publicly what he's thinking.
"I'm not sure what will end up happening exactly, but I've had something in mind for a long time. So, we might even change the title of the game," noted Harada.
