Looks pretty cool. Looking forward to play on on my 360 instead of my PS3 since I already invested in an arcade stick.

Hey, as an anime fan, I can attest to the power of nonsensical boobage. Sense and boobs are not mutually exclusive.

Problem of fighting games stories is lack of canonic ending :p

Am I the only one who seems to be stuck in slideshow mode?
Also, Panda is an alternate costume for Kuma (even though the story shows them as 2 separate characters)

King's belt is an ancient device that serves as a lock to an alternate dimension. Inside this dimension (called Jimenoshi Space) lives an alternate Dragon (Dar-Ei) whose heart is a power sphere which can grant any wishes. Said wishes will only apply to the alternate dimension, but G corporation has been researching ways to bring it to our reality. Jin is trying to sabotage G corporation to get hold of this secrets.

There IS a story to Tekken. I started to actually pay attention to it from T3 on up. Try to look it up on Wikipedia some time to get a grasp on it as I'm sure it's there. Also T6 is continuing from T5 very smoothly. This must take place a year after judging by the characters aging (or lack thereof).

It is pretty hilarious to see the silliest of things listed in the trailer, but for people that have played the game, it actually makes sense. Yes, the mech, panda, and dragon can all make sense together if you just play it....for a while...

I wouldn't go as far as saying that it looks like a PS2 game but I agree with you that graphically is not impressive.
On the PS1 and PS2 the Tekken games were always a graphical showcase of the system, but in this generation it seems no 3D fighter (Tekken or Virtua Fighter) is pushing any of the consoles too hard. Considering that even with multiple levels you still only have two fighters on- screen at once there are many more details and effects that could be added to make the graphics look more real or detailed. After all we have seen other action and adventure games with more characters, explosions, and events taking place on screen still feature hair details, facial animations, and much more. By now one would think that these 3D fighting games would look super real.

Wait until you see it up close.
Tekken 6 looked amazing when I first played it last year and BR is even better-looking. There is a lot of detail in both the characters and backgrounds that just doesn't show up in low-res Internet videos.
Reserve your judgement until after you see the game in motion.

It does make sense if you're a Tekken follower, or at least if you do a little research. Jin Kazama took over the Mishima Zaibatsu (evil company) after the last tournament, and after that he kinda turned evil (corrupted by Devil). Gotta do your homework before posting, guys... you're making it sound as if you don't really deserve to be working here.

LOL@PS2 graphics comment. You obviously haven't seen the game IRL.
Also, nobody plays FG's because of graphics. If you do, you don't get the point of it all.
@Joystiq: Tekken's story started at Tekken 1. You guys are probably... under 22? Too young to remember (or appreciate) the golden past of fighting games (SSF2T, VF2, T3, Fighting Vipers, Last Bronx, Tobal 2, Soul Calibur, etc. the list goes on).
Kids then are the journos of today, and all you grew up on were the easy and shallow games. Sad.

Tekken Bowl would have made that trailer even more awesome.
Also, Nina and Brian's voices have changed. How odd.

I guess that kind of confusion happens when you had never played before previous installments of the franchise. And with Tekken 6 now coming to xbox alot of newcomers to the series are guaranteed to have the same kind of feeling.

I pity the fools that buy Tekken 6 for xbox... Especially with that horrible d pad..
The xbox version should not be allowed out of the store without a stick. because they'll need it.
