I was playing Tekken Revolution recently, and I enjoy it vastly more than edgelord cringeathon Injustice. I know part of it is I'm just more familiar with Tekken having played it since the day I bought Tekken 3 in the summer of 1998, but the formula still works. I'm definitely getting Tekken 7 instead of Injustice 2.

Tekken and Soulcalibour are synonymous with Namco, just as Virtua Fighter is synonymous with Sega. Neither Playstation, Saturn, Dreamcast or Model3.
It seems Namco were satisfied with Ridge Racer Unbounded on Steam, so they decided to move bigger franchises to the platform.

Having to re-start my PS+ subs because the PC version doesn't have crossplay 
Harada said no on Twiiter since the game is in 3 different platforms and due to limitations from online service providers (PSN, Steam, Xbox Live).

Not Soulcalibur but Tekken has been synonymous with playstation as well
I will admit, I'm a tad sad that Tekken - one of the last bastions of bucking the "season pass" DLC characters trend - is now all-in. I know Harada fought that tooth and nail for a time.
That does suck.
... But the actual game looks phenomenal, and I know they're pumping in as much content as they can before launch to justify the purchase and avoid a "bare-bones" release.
I'm torn on it, but I understand there is a divide between the developers and the businessmen, and they don't always see eye to eye. And in this respect, regardless of the suits decisions, the developers look to be as talented and passionate as ever.

I'm asking if it's a Xbox Play Anywhere - Cross Buy, Windows Store?

Granted this is gonna be my first Tekken but from the way he talked about the Season Pass, it seemed to be a necessary evil to justify post-launch support for the game, which is something that I am fine with.
They've also stated that the characters in the Season Pass arent' going to be returning characters, so that's a plus in my book.

that is actually a good question
Harada confirmed that you wont be paying for classic characters. Paid DLC will be special content. When they announced it they said that they hadn't even started development on the DLC yet.
With previous Tekken games they had to stop all updates and support for the game within 2 months because of the budget. The season pass guarantees one year of additional support for the game. Because of the paid DLC they can support the game for longer, which will include free DLC as well.
Right. I think it's a net positive. I just acknowledge it's a huge shift from their initial stance. He often compared fighting game characters to chess pieces, and if you don't have access to all the pieces, you can't formulate a complete strategy with those pieces missing (his analogy).
I'm actually totally okay paying more for actual extra and post-launch content, and not just "we locked it on the disc" stuff alongside a bare-bones release.
I totally get the benefits, which is why I knew Tekken getting DLC and a season pass was an inevitability.

That's a tame argument. Without Namco the product doesnt exist. I'm not being coy about what PLATFORM carried Tekken through the past few decades... here's a breakdown:
PS: T1-T6, TTT-TTT2, Prologue, Hybrid, Revolution, T7: 13 (counting T5DR)
XBox: T6-T7 and TTT2: 3
Nintendo: TA, TTT2 and T6: 3
PC: T7: 1
Common Games:T6, TTT2 and T7: 3
The Playstation carried the other 10 exclusively. This case can also be made for Ace Combat fans. Heck it even has more entries than Arcade itself.
Agreed. It's a great evolution of her initial Tekken 5 design, and a huge evolution from her Tekken 3 days.

yep. before tekken 6 dropped, the series sold 33 million copies worldwide, all while being a 3rd party exclusive series which is definitely an impressive feat. i wouldn't be surprised if the majority of sales still remain on playstation consoles
oh she looks way, way better than her debut. it's one of the few redesigns i actually like; wasn't at all fond of Jun's redesign in tag 2

The animations are bad too.

I didn't know Tekken designed the characters. But seriously after several hands on with the title, I have to disagree with you. Nina, as an example, looks great.
You mean Tekken needs to revert back to more realistic T4 variations of themselves (Minus Marduk and Kuma).
Everyone had a real body (Lei and Steve as an example had proper proportions for their arts). I remember Steve coming back all jacked up and shit by T5 and even more alarming was Yoshimitsu... god T4 was so right in many departments.
Also, the lack of sexual diamorphism... When Lili is as tall as every other male (maybe she's a tall girl) or when every male is 6"0 with the same body proportions is what gets to me. Virtua Fighter 5 had it right. I do believe T7 has improved it alot. I can imagine Feng as an example being a 5"5 badass like Wolverine.
Lmao, Asuka T6 hands make me laugh the most though along with T4 Nina Polygonal cleavage.
The Artisan... you're welcome... referring to post at start of page.
Update: Dude calling animations bad... ok... name another 3D fighter better than Tekken?

i'll give him the male designs, they damn near all look like they are on steroids with those bodies.
Agreed
VF5 nailed this aspect.
There is a clear logical difference in height, weight, body type etc.
VF5's animation runs circles around it.
Agreed with first point.
Super disagree with the second one. Even after finishing FS I felt that the only characters with proper animations are Jean and El Blaze... they felt complete unlike everyone else. The animations for V5 are super stiff for me as are the character voices.... Wolf, Lion and Pai being the main culprits. I think what VF suffers from is Hit Impact while Tekken suffers with continuity of fluid fighting that VF is so good at; ie juggles are there but reliance is minimal at best to win.
I think Tekken has taken a more anime type of route while VF stuck to the actual representation of the arts. Which is perfectly fine. I'm sure if Sega AM2 does VF6 it will and should have better animations sooner or later.
Last but not least... that new Eddy VA is absolutely horrible sounding to me.. he has no charm or charisma going in that voice. Monotone as fuck.

Another reason for popularity was that Tekken arcade cabs were also cheaper than Virtua Fighter. One reason every mall had at least 1 Tekken cab.
Tekken cabs. Tekken cabs everywhere....
Lol, if one thing has taught game developers is that cheaper hardware can also give fun experiences.

That didn't take long...
well, it was very generous!
i got T5 running well on my PC, so i'll be using that to learn Tekken for the next few months. i'm a 2D player for years, but never 'clicked' with 3D until now.
Asuka helps.

How does the PC version compare to Arcade?
I don't know, these reports are from Final Round. They used a special prerelease version on PS4 at that tournament.
JDCR (who won the tournament) commented how he had to readjust, and that could also explain the rest for how the other international players faired. But still gotta give US players their credit since they barely even get regular time with the game since the caravan version that toured last year wasn't always up to date and now they're playing on an unreleased console port (or have access to vanilla at a Round 1).
Outside of 4K or whatever other higher graphical options, the PC version will probably be identical to the console ports.
Tekken 7 home version isn't Tekken 7 vanilla or Tekken 7 FR, considering that the home version is said to look better which I think I read from older reports from I think Saint and JDCR (Wonkey please confirm) and the fact home version currently has more stages and characters than arcade FR.
Edit: Remember the game isn't done yet, so nobody should start the sky is falling thing, and Bamco (unlike other Devs) usually does a great job for home ports.
But I'm also an arcade dinosaur who just doesn't like home versions.
Arcade >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Home.

That's really unusual. I remember a poster saying they had the PC version @ PAX East Dell booth and it was running at 4K 30fps, LOL.
One version has been out since 2 years ago and the other is unfinished and doesn't come out for another 3 months, go figure.

Yeah, seems like too little, too late. They missed their chance to capitalize on SFV's catastrophic launch.
If Tekken 7 would have come out this month it would have been released unfinished thus repeating Capcom's mistake. Just speculation of course.

lol, who made this?
While I love Tekken, I agree with this. Virtual Fighter seems way more fluid in its animations.
I've seen 4K T7 in person. PC blows console and arcade away.
Some Tekken fans are pathetic, Jesus.
