Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Jeff Gerstmann on Nov. 4, 2009
If you read yesterday's Tekken 6 review, where I go on for a bit about how the online part of the game falls somewhere between "unpleasant" and "unplayable," then you might be interested in this update. We received this note from the game's publisher today...
Color me hopeful for the future. Tekken 6 with more functional online is a much more appealing product than what's currently on shelves. We'll let you know if we hear anything more specific.Hello,
To improve the online game experience for players of TEKKEN® 6, NAMCO BANDAI Games is developing a downloadable update which will be available as soon as it has passed rigorous testing procedures.
More details regarding the content of the update and the timing of its release will be announced shortly.
This is separate from the online co-op Scenario Campaign mode update which is scheduled for release this winter.
Thanks for playing TEKKEN 6, and keep on fighting.

I dunno man... Like why wouldn't they work on this stuff BEFORE the game ships? They couldn't have been suprised.
If the patch was substantial, would the game get re-reviewed? Or, does the site only review the game as is?
I haven't picked this up yet due to the sucky online, so "good" is really all that is needed to be said of the matter :P

@Atomic_Tangerine:
The same could be said for Fable 2 and a day one patch. Things work out in a weird ways.

I played over 60 matches online since Tekken 6 was released and very few of them were laggy.

"it's generally not proper etiquette for a critic to re-review a product beyond footnotes or an addendum (see Lair, The Orange Box, Assassin's Creed) unless re-released.If the patch was substantial, would the game get re-reviewed? Or, does the site only review the game as is?

Rigorous testing, eh? Well, if the retail on-shelves product went through rigorous testing as well, then I question this testing!
No one has clarified to me as to how there are mixed comments on the online play...
Some say it's fine, others say it's terrible. Which one is it?

I've played over 40 online matches and only one of them have had any noticeable lag at all.
Thank God for that. Tekken 6 has the best fighting yet so it was crushing to discover how unplayable the online was. Thankfully I have people to fight offline but still...
i played 4 and they were so bad i left online for good...
tell me when the patch is out.

"Probably the review will remain the same, but there will be a note at the end of the review saying that a TU has been released after the review that fixed the lag issues.If the patch was substantial, would the game get re-reviewed? Or, does the site only review the game as is?

@Siphillis:
I don't know, I remember last year when Nick Suttner re-reviewed Socom because the patch was substantial in his opinion that it meritted a re-review. I don't know Jeff or Giantbomb's stance is on patches which is why I asked.
