Tekken 6 Goes Gold, Co-Op Patch Due After Launch

" first  "

Giantbomb community apparently not big fans of Tekken.

I'm sure I'll end up getting this.  I was worried about the series with 4, but after 5 came out it renewed my faith in Tekken.  

I'm excited!

Totally looking forward to this!

I think I'm going to end up getting this game.  It's been forever since I've played Tekken.

Cool.  I'm one of the few that likes fighter campaign modes, I'm guessing?  I'm still on the fence about Tekken 6... I'm still having a good time with Soul Cal 4.  I'm a much bigger Soul Cal fan.

The series hasn't really evolved since Tekken Tag Tournament (or even before then, for that matter). The only reason I think that it still has mass market appeal is because of how easy it is to button mash your way to victory, so it really caters to the casual fighting game fans who just want to feel like they are actually stringing intelligent combos together. That said, I still have it on pre-order because I am a sucker.

I'm a huge fan of competitive fighting games and buy just about every fighter that comes out, but even to me Tekken isn't very appealing.

Wooo! I still don't see why they don't put in a Tag mode from Tekken Tag, but looking forward to this one.

So ready to play some Tekken 6 on my 360. I'm practically frothing at the mouth.

Can't wait to play it!

Can't wait to play this. Tekken has always been my favorite series of fighting games.

Seeing a picture of the Armour King (sponsored by Armour Hot Dogs) it just makes me think... man, Tekken is still the most retarded fighting game on the planet.  I think we would all be excited to see a new and improved DOA game with more realistic breast physics, using the Forza 3 physics calcs, than this.
A grandpa being the most badass character in the series and guy with a cat head?  Oh man, Street Fighter is heading down a similar path with retarded characters like Gen, Rufus and el Fuerte.  Please, someone help me here.  I think ill go back to play Soul Caliber 1 on the DC or Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo

Not 100% stoked for this 6th installment, but I'm definitely keeping Tekken 6 on my radar.

Actually, this is the sixth Tekken in the main series. "

Still no announcement for PC? Ah well, at least I can plug my stick into my 360. I use the rear slot because it has a tighter fit.
 
Though I'd be interested in the wireless Tekken 6 stick if it wasn't $150 bundled with the game.

I'm so stoked for this.
I'm just pissed it took so long. It's a fighting game that doesn't evolve and it took forever. Really?

I haven't played since Tekken Tag Tournament, and this will be my first 3D fighter since Soul Calibur II on GameCube.
 
For some reason, I am deadly excited for this.

The only issue I might have with this game is the ease to continue a juggle. Juggling is a key aspect in fighting games, but the ability to recover is as well. When you have a game mechanic that not only allows, but ENCOURAGES you to "bounce" an opponent to continue  a juggle...it seems a fruitless endeavor to even try to get out of the juggle. I find this to be a bit ridiculous. How would one escape a juggle like that? 

any info on breast animation in this?

Ghosts on the PSP game was a huge disappointment. 
Yes you could upload your own ghost, but 
A) You couldn't see it or play against it 
B) Other players ghosts were distributed through ghost packs. There was never any way of telling if your ghost was ever in one of those. 
C) Ghosts is a terrible replacement for actual online multiplayer

I really loved Tekken 5 on the PS3 (the download from PSN), so I'm definitely looking forward to this.
 
Plus I'm a big Tekken fan.

I can't wait to get this.  I was already sold, but then I saw the trailer with co-op Tekken Force!  That blew my mind so hard right there...

Hey, good article, thanks. I too was trying to figure out why the Scenario Campaign was not co-op.  I thought it was a tutorial at first that you have to finish. I know it was designed to be two player as you have Lars and Alisa in the Tutorial. I have yet to play it, it just won't be as much fun if you can't get a buddy to play with or be able to find one online. 
 
I also noticed that the offline mode had more modes available than the online mode, like Team Battle which I thought was a nice feature like King of Fighters XII, except, it's not available in the online mode.
 
I can understand that as long as Namco plans to patch this, that I know they were interested in getting the game released on the date. I played online and there wasn't that much lag on the 360. The game ran pretty smoothly, except the bars can be kind of misleading. it shows all green bars but then you still get lag, there is no way to tell, like in Street Fighter IV, it was pretty accurate.
 
I found the lobbies to be nice to have 4 people in a room at once taking turns between matches, but if one person has a bad connection, it lags you so badly. -_-
 
Hopefully we'll get word when that patch will be available for download :)
