The latest issue of Famitsu magazine has details on Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection with online versus play! With the cost of 2800 Yen(1000 Yen if you already downloaded the old version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection) you will be able to play FREE online versus matches with people all over the world! There will also be an online leaderboard that keeps track of player rankings! There is no official release date for the upgraded version of T5DR, but be rest assured that SD TEKKEN will keep you posted!

Special thanks to Dali on NeoGAF forums for the heads up!

I am proud of Namco Bandai for taking this step forward. Hopefully Soul Calibur 4 will also feature online gameplay.

I also expect Itagaki to say something to the effect of "What took them so long?" in his next interview. :lol

I will be happy to say "I was pwned by MarkMan" once this sucker goes online.

MarkMan, your legacy as Tekken-Lord better not be a thin charade, my friend! :D

Nice.

This has to just be the first step towards Tekken 6 online, and that's what really makes me excited.

I hope they make both Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur 4 online. And then AM2 follows suit with Virtua Fighter.

like any online fighter, it will feel different and require totally different timing -- it'll be a different game. do yourself a favor and find your local scene and play in person, like people do with every other fighter.

the pressure people put on developers to impliment online is worrysome. anyone who practices extensively online is going to be tuned to a different game -- effectively setting them up for dissapointment when they fight locally. serious players, for hte most part, will ignore online -- more casual players, for the most part, will focus on online multiplayer. their discussions will be incompatible.

if you just play casually, have a ball. :D

edit: not trying to spoil the thread. i guess i'm just saying that you guys shouldn't be shy about trying to find local competition if you're serious about a fighting game.

If this ever comes to the US Playstation Store I think I'll pass. The game itself set me back 20 USD, now they want me to spend almost half just adding online play?

**** that

I played in a Tekken 5 tourney, once. I'd rather play this "different game" against human opponents whenever I want.

Wait..we have to spend somewhere in the area of the USD equivalent of 1,000 JPY on this PATCH? That's $8 more dollars! What a ripoff.

$20 for this gimped game (with no training mode, online, or Tekken Bowl) was already pushing it...now it's around $28 for a slightly less gimped game?

Not gonna happen for me.

But it sounds like it will be happening for many of you...enjoy!

I'm just getting nightmares at the thought of some locals getting online with this title. If it has safe moves and is broke because of it count me out.

Strange wording, I mean paying $8 more isn't free.

It's free to play online after you buy it. Like all the other free-to-play-online games. :p No $50 a year Xbox Live Fee and all that.

So does this mean there will be 2 versions available on PSN? Or will they increase the price to account for the online mode? Or will they just replace the old version with the online version without increasing the price?

**** YES!

I definently have to get a network set-up going when I buy a PS3. How much is Dark Ressurection? I was thinking of buying VF5 right when I got my PS3 but I think I may get this instead.

And yet people paid £40 ($50?) for Tekken 5 and £35 ($40?) for Tekken DR.

Both don't have online play

Remember back in the olden days, if you wanted to add features to a game, you had to release a whole new disc or cartridge?

Digital distribution FTW!

Oh yeah! Although I can't help but feel like this is "Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection: Everything That We Should Have Included In The Game Before Edition."

Well, 2800 Yen is about 22.9 USD so I don't think the price will change. But, then who really knows and I wouldn't put this being delayed out of the realm of possibility. This will encourage more people to buy it so it looks as if the PSN price may stay as it is.

Yep that tends to be the Japaneese way launching ten versions of the same game.

Although in the West this power is being abused the wrong way. :(
