Capcom and Sega sitting in a tree?

Even if Capcom and Sega merge, I don't see much coming out of it IMHO. I don't see exactly how the talents/properties of the two companies complement each other. Capcom is known for 2D fighting and survival horror games. Sega is known for sports, racers, and arcade style games. So what are we going to get? Street Fighter vs Virtua Fighter? A Sonic survival horror game?

I mean it's not as if it's like Sega and Namco were merging, where there can be some kind of synergy of their talents.

It just sounds more like an act of desperation to keep the companies afloat, more than anything. It might help their bottom line but I'm not sure exactly how this would benefit us gamers.

Just because the games they have now don't complement each other means nothing about the two making new content that would be remarkable.

*believes anything is possible after seeing Viewtiful Joe*

Not to mention that, with Capcom and Nintendo being on good terms, what are the chances of MS gobbling up Sega if this happens?

I would love to see Capcom and Sega merge. Although the Namco/Sega merger would also be exciting to see. I'd like to see a Final Fantasy Tactics sequel done by the collective group of Square Enix, it'd be a sight to behold.

Sorry my comment was total sarcasm and I thought it would have been obvious.

Hopefully noone is buying Sega. I'd hate for them to bog down any of those other 3 fine companies.

Looks like Justin slammed the wannabes at IGN:

"It looks like someone called Doug lifted my report. Unfortunately for him, he also guessed the wrong combination.

I guess that means you can knock off one possibility, for anyone skeeping score.

I know and meet Anoop and Colin in Tokyo, but I haven't talked to either of them about the merger, and this story is not from them."

I'm relieved it's not Sega/Capcom.

Darn, the process of elimination has eliminated one of my faves. Ah well.

It would be a "cool" merger I agree with ya there. But not a smart one.

I agree. I don't think it would have made much sense for either party...

Why would Capcom merge with Sega of all companies? They've hardly had any dealings in development with Sega... Capcom is closer to Nintendo out of all the companies that I know of... :wtf:

I can see it now

Capcom vs Sega : The fight for the Universe ....

only on gamecube :)
