Capcom Collaborating With CyberConnect2 on New Action Game
The news was revealed in a roundtable discussion published in this week's issue of Famitsu magazine, where CC2 president Hiroshi Matsuyama and Capcom producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya discussed how the collaboration came about. According to Tsuchiya, the two outfits began talking to each other soon after the 2008 Tokyo Game Show. "Capcom has always had a sort of affinity for CyberConnect2," he said. "It was like they were making the sort of games that we ought to be doing, something which occasionally became a source of frustration!"
"From the second half of 2008 through 2009, we visited each other's offices and got to gradually spend more and more time with each other," Matsuyama added. "The one thing that really struck home was that the more we got to know each other, the more plain it was how similar our two companies are. The creative people on both sides are totally immersed in the development process -- we both have a common outlook on that."
