Capcom x Uncharted: Nathan Drake was almost a playable character in SFxT


Not this time Drake.

Cole McGrath from InFamous is the major PS3 and PS Vita exclusive for Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT). The hero (or villain) with electricity-based powers wasn't going to be Sony's poster boy for SFxT.

Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series was considered as Sony's main exclusive. The decision came down to Cole or Drake according to Seth Killian's interview with the PlayStation Blogcast.

Cole won out.

See what Killian had to say below:

“We were committed to try and provide some extra content to Sony and we were excited about looking at the different roster and seeing who was out there, and you know you’ve got all sort of cool characters like Nathan Drake, but you know Nathan Drake has kind of a nice Han Solo kind of everyman and he’s a comical guy but the Japanese team got really excited about Cole and the flexibility of his powers, projectiles, grabs, and all sorts of cool stuff.”
