TGS 08: Watch the Tekken 6 trailer

wow. you work for sony. I didn't realise.

How is it unfortunate? Whats wrong with more gamers being able to play this game?

@slayer...

Less PS3 exclusives mean less reason for NEW purchasers to choose PS3 over X. Current owners will be affected by the lesser future install base by the lesser developer support.

This is why current PS3 owners should be concerned about exclusive going multi...

I guess.

@Kspraydad

I'm not really bothered by this though. I saw it coming from a mile away and I'm not surprised at all. Those who own a ps3 will still be able to play it so I still don't see what the problem is.

Tekken 6 yes, new halo no ¬_¬

Micro always announces Halo titles at events, so its always expected, and its not as if recon was the worlds biggest secret. We just didn't know the name or the gameplay style, but we suspected.

Either way, Halo recon looks good, as long as it is more focused on Stealth and tactics and less on none stop brainless shooting.

@ Maverick Saturn: Wow, way to state your opinion of the Halo franchise as though it were fact. Love your reasonable attitude *thumbs up*

Play online and button mash. When you're done your nonsense string of attacks and pause, I will begin juggling you.

Tekken a button masher? I don't know man...

You've clearly never played high-level Tekken. Button-mashing will get you nowhere.

Admittedly Tekken is a button masher, however, if you are experienced enough you can overcome that. People have played with thier feet and won matches, if that is possble, then a game is nothing but a button masher. And notice how noobs who have no idea what they are doing can still beat you in a match if you don't watch yourself, fortunatly that wouldn't happen in say WWE games because simply pressing the same thing won't get you very far. You 'need' tactics to win.

I only say that because back in the days of Tekken 3 and 4 there were times I would button mash to win in tournaments :P I admit, I have no reason to hide it.

Tekken 5 however twisted things a little, defence became quite important, and playing online prooves that, but from time to time in frustration, we do button mash to see if it pulls off anything and sometimes I win sometimes it doesn't work, just depends who I'm up against.

Virtua Fighter rules all.

you were gonna buy a PS3.....for Tekken?

to each their own i guess. but $460+ (PS3 and Tekken 6) vs. $60 (just Tekken on 360), i would say you made out like a bandit in that case lol.

Have fun with that D-pad. How true Kurt, I would not buy any game system for just ONE game.

Whoops, it's too early to post on the internet. I meant we could tag on the PS2, not Playstation. That would have been a chunky looking TekkenTag on the PSX. :P

Yes, Sony thinks years ahead in their business dicisions. They saw the writing on the wall years ago in terms of 3rd party exclusives. Now that they have over 15 1st party studios...3rd party exclusives for the most part are irrelevant.

MS is really in a tight spot because they have almost no 1st party studios and they have to rely on paying thru the nose to just be a part of former PS franchises.

For now on, PS exclusives will remain exclusive simply for the fact that Sony has so many 1st party studios. In the long run, I think Sony is in much better shape.

I don't mind if MS buys a piece of the PS pie...just as long as they don't buy a delayed release of the PS version just so they can say same day launch or force the PS version to be dumbed down to fit on old media and aging hardware like GTA4 was.

You can say that about most 3D fighting game franchises, like Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur. New characters, a few new gameplay mechanics and that's it.

It's normal though. You have to compare fighting games to sports games. It's not about changing the rules, it's about perfecting the existing rules. If they changed Tekken too much, it wouldn't be Tekken anymore.

Nobody is asking for a complete overhaul Izzy but while many may say FPS games have not changed, more or less they have, cover systems have been introduced, autotargeting, duel wielding, 2 weapons at a time, better plots. There has been a degree of innovation despite how small.

Same could be said for racing with realistic crashing, enviromental effect on the vehicle, etc etc.

Tekken however is still the same old Tekken from Tekken 2. You can still stupidly keep people in the air, they say they have destructable enviroments, but apart from the ground which seems to be repairing itself in the trailers I've seen, nothing much else seems to be ....well...destructing :S Clothes can't be torn, armour can't be damaged, people can hit invisible walls where they should really be flying over barriers, characters never get tired or even remotly sweaty, theres not create a character mode so we are once again forced to play with the premade characters, unlike the likes od Soul Calibur and VF. Storylines are still cheezy with panda bears and Kangeroos saving the world.

All in all, the best thing I have seen in Tekken is that robot at the end, even the boss before that is stupid which is supposed to be the main boss of the game and yet while towering above all characters in the game can be tossed about like a tennis ball.

Its all too much, I want the same Tekken in the sense I want the gameplay controls and designs to remain similar because they define Tekken, but I want more of a fight, I want to experience a Jackie Chan movie or Jet Li movie for myself, right now Tekken isn't giving me that ¬_¬

@Maverick,

I can list you a ton of little changes Tekken has had since Tekken 2:
- Just-Frame moves;
- Sidestep cancel;
- Backdash cancel;
- Sidewalk;
- Air throws;
- Reach throws;
- Walls;
- Complete overhaul of jumping;

Changes between Tekken 5 and 6:
- Bounce Juggles
- Rage thingy when you're almost dead
- Leveled stages

Today's Tekken is NOTHING like Tekken 2.

Most of those are so minor you woulnd't notice them unless mentioned, and most of them took place between Tekken 3 and 4 with the exception of jumping. Other then that, nothing significant has changed apart from the rage thing, but even the rage thing seems slightly monotonous without anything visible to show how effective it is, anger, desperation all could be shown through the way your character acts and feels, maybe moves are spead up, maybe techniques become more fluent, more aggressive. Weapons have been added and god knows why if they are default weapons, if anything, I would have prefered bar brawling, in the sense that each level has objects you could use.

Why not use the environment to cause more damage, for example, get close to a window and drop kick thier face through it. Now that would be worth getting hyped about. I want to be able to pull off stylish finishers, I know breaking bones would be too violent, but how about final round final attacks. Boundaries are limitless, and if an FPS and RPG that require so much level detail, if GTA that requires so much attention can make such significant changes, changes you notice while still keeping the same gameplay we all know and love, why can't Tekken?

How about weight? Why is it you can still toss Jack a flipping steel plated robot around like a plastic toy. They never seem presurized by anything, don't they tire? I can think of lots of ideas they could have implemented without some grand graphics or programming scheme.

Nah, master chief wouldn't be, hes already in DOA 4, that would be desperate marketing measures, I'd rather they had Lara Croft if anyone.

I would never expect them to put MC in there but thats pretty much the only way I'd buy the 360 version.....lol

So far it just looks like Tekken 5 HD to me :(

Nice list kbomb.

Maverick, you're crazy if you think it looks like Tekken 5.

@xFenixKnightx
Did you ever get on with LBP yesterday? If so how do you like it?

Lol, Fenix, it does, its more or less a graphical upgrade, they still have the cracking floor which mysteriously repairs itself. That was okay on PSP, but come on, this is the next gen, cracking floors just won't do, I want smashing walls, smashing heads through glass, seriously destructable enviroments, I want power!!!!!! :D

kbomb

Been playing LBP. Honestly, now I am not buying it. It might float peoples boat but it didnt float mine. I just thought it looked cute. On the other hand my wife loves it. I think she might buy it lol.

Like I said in my other post, the PS3 version is probably done, but MS must have "bought" a same day release.

What happened to the Honor of some of the Japanese Gaming Companies?

Honor? In the business world? LOL!!

People seem to forget this, but it's called a joystick... might want to invest in one...

aaah. Killjebus. You and your fanboyism never ceases to entertain me.

"MS buying up 3rd party former PS exclusives"

Where's your proof? All I can see of games going multiplatform is something called 'return on investment'.
