TEKKEN 7 releases June 2nd (PC/XB1/PS4, Season Pass, Eliza, more details)

Why is tekken 6 still the best when it comes to customization?It seems they limited what you can do with their hair now.
I don't know. I can see why they downgraded for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (they had to manage 59 characters over 6's 41 and had to be able to load 4 characters into the game and have them all appear on screen at once).
But for Tekken 7, which is 1v1, on considerably more powerful platforms, and currently managing even fewer characters than Tekken 6. the best excuse I can think of is that it's a new engine. That hardly holds water though, since they ported pretty much all of the Tag 2 customizations over while leaving most of the Tekken 6 customizations behind.
And yeah, the hair customization has been shriveled. Instead of customizing in five parts (base-front-sides-back-accessory) it's two parts (accessory-everything else stuck together).
It's so lame. Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how good it was in Tekken 6, or are distracted by the return of a small handful of classic costumes, or the novelty of sticking a shower head on Akuma. They get excited about the customization, unaware that it's been by and large downgraded two games in a row now.
I just wish there was some reasoning for it.
It seems to me that the biggest difference is that you no longer choose from one of three opponents. Is that really enough to disappoint you?

The Diamond Battle video that was posted earlier made it look like the fights take place entirely in the same stage. The Tekkentalk stream assuaged that fear.
Although, yeah I dislike not being able to choose the next opponent.
Judging the original Japanese Modes Trailer video from last week it looks as though it'll take place in other stages. I'm guessing you'll switch stages out every few matches.
I can understand the picking opponent thing however.

What's crazy about the story mode is that in-game graphics have surpassed that Tekken 5 CG intro. I remember like yesterday wishing for the future when game graphics would look like those CG intros. Dreams do come true.

I really love the look of that practice stage. Nice scenery.
Eliza looks stupid though. More Street Fighter than Tekken. I'm not feeling her or Akuma honestly. They look super annoying to deal with, and too far removed from regular characters for me to enjoy learning them.
Jinpachi and Alisa were clues that this series was going to get wack. I mean beyond the usual craziness of fighting grizzly bears and reanimated cyborgs. Some of the newer characters are a bridge too far.
I don't know how it worked in TTT2, but in Tekken 6 you could actually download new ghosts based of players that had played the game online which gave the game so much more replayability. I loved that you got to fight a lot of different opponents without the stress of doing it online and live.
There does not seem to be any option for doing this in Tekken 7

Do we need what kind of netcode this is going to use? Rollback?
Yeah I watched the T5 intro in a Tekken 7 vid the other day and was surprised to see how poor the character models have aged. The video being rendered low res doesn't help, of course.

Is it me or are some hairstyles missing?
Except the micro bikinis (which will probably be paid dlc) everything in the vid is exactly what's in the arcade version.
Still haven't passed that PS3 launch render tho
aww man that still hurts...
Saw that trailer back in 2005, and actually seeing the final product (Tekken 6) got me really disappointed.

Gen 7 was totally the time of target render shadiness, lol. From Madden, to Killzone, to Tekken.

Man, it still pains me to this day that Tekken doesn't look this good. At this point, Tekken's graphics not looking like the above render is more of a stylistic/artistic choice rather than a hardware limitation. I did wish that Tekken and Soul Calibur were less anime in their artstyles. Seeing the artistic rendition of the characters with imaginative, yet more realistic character designs, then seeing the outright anime inspired look of the final result was always jarring to me.

It they wanted the game to look like that, with skin pores and hair strands and all it would probably not run at 60fps and the stages would be much simpler because all the polygon budget would be spent on characters
maybe next gen

So far almost everything GAF has asked for has been added into the game. Even my idea about an interrogation room is present in a mutated form. Supers were a long running joke that became a reality. If the game decided to make some in-depth story content for side characters I will be overly impressed. The fact that side character stories exist at all is just amazing. I'm waiting to see how fleshed out these side stories are.
Knowing the game doesn't have an unlimited budget, I hope that Tekken team could pick one or two characters and focused on story based DLC for those characters.
If it sells well they could always add more content. We also need bridge content to take us from one numbered installment to the next. Tekken could move to a longer term development model not unlike Street Fighter 5.

Not entirely sure if the look of the 2005 render can't be captured this generation. Paragon looks amazing on UE4 and runs at 60fps on consoles. Uncharted 4 looks incredible, better than the 2005 Tekken render, and that's a character action game with huge environments and several characters on screen at once. It runs at 30fps, but I can't imagine not being able to get similar results at 60 fps with a two character fighter with confined stages. I personally think it's more of an art style choice rather than being limited by hardware power.
The whole custom hair system that they introduced in Tekken 6 has been reduced to picking premade configurations. It's lame.
Maybe it's for the best. You can't trust fans to use options right.

Yeah, DLC is coming
Have you seen the customs that are still in the game? You'd be hard pressed to find any right way for half of them to be used.
Didn't look into them, no. Most I've seen is golden showers.

needs a switch that tells the game to change it to gold only when you get a perfect
My request for an option to remove customs from appearing on my side of the game during online play was never answered... But at least there's the PC version w/ mod support so I suppose it can be considered my fault for buying the inferior version.
