Tekken 6: Hands-On And A Whole Lot More
Those were some sweet trailers.
I really liked the last Tekken game, and some better graphics, more characters, more destructibility and a online mode are some pretty awesome additions that I'm looking forward to.
Looks like the same ol' shizz to me. Tekken has always had top notch graphics, but they've been able to improve the look significantly each time. This footage looks no better than the previous installment of the series. It seems they've added some interactive environments, but who really cares? Mortal Kombat put changing environments in their games over a decade ago. It's time for something new Namco.
What are you guys expecting out of Tekken? Saying it's the same game; of course it's the same game! What innovations do you want in one? What do you want that will differ it from it's previous incarnations? We can say the same with about every god damn FPS or Sports game out there. And you know why? Because they stick inside their genre. You're not gonna play Halo and all of a sudden Master Chief is social linking with Nanako or something. If it's not your cup of tea, well then it's not your cup of tea.
Looks to be business as usual, and that's fine with me. Although, it looks as if the characters move a tad different. I expect the destructible environments to have a very small effect on game play, although the "rage mode" or whatever it was called may change things up.
However, I do agree with others that the graphical improvements don't seem to be there. I'm sure if I go back and look at previous versions of Tekken, this looks much better, however it is not giving me that "woah" feeling off the bat like other games have been doing.
Ah well, I am probably going to get it anyway.
I see they still haven't ditched that retarded looking juggling system where your opponent flies up into the air and floats there at a 45 degree angle while you beat up their feet. *sigh*
I'll pass.
I'm looking forward to it, if the arcade version was of any indication. I mean, there's a whole mess of Tekken 6 BR vids on Youtube right now, a lot of which come straight from Asia or Europe.
And BTW, I always said to myself "Never judge a game's graphics until you see them in person," which I did, and it looks even better than what screenshots can portray.
Lastly, about the people complaining about the lack of change in the gameplay: I think it's best to stay at what it is now and improve upon it through smaller adjustments, but nothing too major lest it loses its identity. Besides, you FPS/RTS/RPG fans never seem to moan about sameness in your games, so why should we fighting game fans?
Where the hell is Forrest Law?! Also Lei isn't in the screenshots? Isn't he in the game? If he's not then HELL NO! Who cares about the god damn kangaroo or the fucking panda! Jin, Bryan and Hwoarang still look badass though.
I loved Tekken 2 and 3 on the Play Station, but haven't played since then, I'm interested, but don't know if it's worth getting back into it
I love Tekken (loooove it), but I don't really like the "interactive" stages; they remind me of Mortal Kombat. I'm still pissed at Namco's DLC policy of selling you what's already on the disc, and it sounds like they might pull the same crap. Unless they either provide all characters for the 360 version from the get-go (or provide some console exclusive character that will actually stay exclusive) I think I'll pass.
the only Tekken game, i had a great experience with was (and i believe most can agree) Tekken 3.
As long as Eddy Gordo is in Tekken 6 and this title can compete with other recent release fighting games, I'm down for Tekken 6.
well...that sure does look like tekken, this franchise may have got to the point of repetition...then again, that may have happened about three games ago :) if ya ask me, they should spice things up a bit, like say...i dont know....King and Hwoarang find themselves launched into a tv world in order to stop a mass murderer from claiming another victim, now THATS original!
