We were heavy into VF here during the mid 2000s. No one ever used number pad. This was the same time we all played SC2 in which we did use number pad. Again if there is no B button Tekken notations are far superior.

Edit: Wrong thread, lol
Thank God! A game I can play which won't take me 100 hours to get through.
Like I know an hour is short, but still I don't mind.
That's weird.
I thought it would be longer considering how long T6 scenario campaign was.

how long was that?

Well I'm a story buff. Never really play online so if all this is that bad then I'll either sell the CE preorder or just cancel it.
I remember it taking me about seven hours or a little more than that back then. Cutscenes were pretty lengthy too.

I mean. I get the sentiment. But one of the main reasons people played home Tekken was for the story/arcade endings.
Man, if that Wonkey tweet is true then that's lame.
I'm getting day 1 still but honestly idk why you'd have that as a side chapter really you could easily put that in Arcade Mode and have side character be a character's final boss. I don't get it. I wonder what else this game will have.

At least Treasure Battle should be real good for the more casual players. Ghost Battle was the bomb in T5.

i heard it wasn't that good though. length wouldn't be the problem but itself. since this installment is a conclusion the writing should be more convenient but that doesn't mean it should be just an hour long
Yeah that part is fine but still if the package isn't right, you have to wonder exactly what's going on. I'll wait until everything's revealed before I make my decision because honestly, we've waited this long. The gameplay isn't the issue, the issue is the extras like a full length Story Mode, extra modes, missing characters, endings, stuff like that.
If they screw this up then shit they've got some explaining to do.

According to a Namco developer at the end of this thread, it is "impossible" to complete story mode that quickly.

That was a pretty quick lock!
I gave up on the story after Tekken 6. I suggest you do the same if you don't want to be disappointed.
That may be true for you but the term 2P is comedically and famously known in Virtua Fighter since at least VF2 if not VF1. The dick punch has never been known as down punch or dP as far as I know. Worldwide its always been known as 2P, 2P mashing. Japanese and western tournament commentators have always called out a clutch or spammed 2P.Its not really a thing in other fighting games. There are funny t-shirts in reference to this just as you would see Street Fighter shirts showing arrows signifying a dragon punch or Hadoken. I've seen VF shirts that have the common meme Keep Calm and "2P". You wont find f,b,d,u (df,db) notation being used anywhere on virtuafighter.com's move and combo lists or forum threads going back to the beginning of the websites existence and used by all VF players worldwide outside of Japan.
no man sky devs cough lol

Eh, Treasure battle seems like the offline mode that is most interesting anyways tbh. Still up in the air if I should pre-order the Deluxe version on PSN or not....
Wish I had some indication as to who the first character was at least.

Eh...Tekken's mostly been about the Mishima Story and regardless how long Story Mode is that'll be solved. Everyone else is just side stuff and honestly, as long as we get even a 30 second-1 minute ending for said character like in a previous Tekken game then that's ok with me given most endings for the characters weren't long in the first place. I'm not expecting some major movie for them.
But what I wonder is what information is true and what's false because either the Bamco rep is lying or Wonkey's rep is giving him bad information. We gotta see how this is.

Can you skip cutscenes in story mode? If so, I can totally believe that 1 hour estimate and still feel excited for it.

I was wondering what you were talking about, but then I remembered the 'Secret Factors' you could do that would give a short, bonus cut-scene during the fight. It also had dialogue throughout the fight with small comic book panels of their faces.

Tekken's story has gotten worse since Jin became the focus.
Tekken 1 winner- Kazuya
Tekken 2 winner- Heihachi
Tekken 3 winner- Jin
Tekken 4 winner- Jin
Tekken 5 winner- Jin
Tekken 6 winner- Jin
Tekken's story is best when it is primarily about the feud between Kazuya and Heihachi.

Fuck that stage to the deepest circle of hell.
oh yeah
I mainly attribute that length due to all the sidequests and more importantly, the frustrating/clunky Tekken Force gameplay in general. The cutscenes were solid anime camp though.
Didn't nobody win that thing?
Shit, I can't exactly remember if a tourny was still going on in that game.
7-10 hours sounds right, but it was ages ago I played it. Also I think it was more of a beatemup ala the old Tekken Force games. Terrible controls and occasionally frustrating moments didn't make it a very compelling game to play.
It had a giant world map and some requirements to open new missions, some being optional. It also heavily focused on the new characters like Lars and the robot girl whom I really disliked. I earned all the achievements and mostly recall literally hating playing it long before I reached the end.

what disappoints me about the potential story length and 1 fight short story episodes is it means a character like Katarina will probably have almost no story moments and not be developed as a character at all.
technically Heihachi won the 4th tournament, although Jin's ending is canon.

Agreed. Also terrible when they shift focus away to some long dormant "buried evil monster" like Heihachi unearthing Ogre in T3 and whatever demon-bird thing Zafina unlocks from some aztec-esque tomb in T6. You know you are in for some shit just watching those intros.
T5 gets a pass for bringing the family back together though. I kind of loved Jinpachi having been chained underground by Heihachi and straight up being pissed af. Terrible final boss, but a fun inclusion to add yet another generation of Mishima. Of course it is lame that Jin is the white knight savior everytime.
So wait you're telling me the ending where Heihachi ties his father, son and grandson to a rocket and launch them to space wasn't Canon!???
My favorite ending in all Tekken games
How is he a white knight savior when in Tekken 6 he started a world war just to end his bloodline?
I preordered the CE and I don't see the discount either. Yet the other games I preordered show the discount applied. Hopefully they'll correct this at the time of the transaction.

Eh Tekken 3 had a solid story though(By the series standards) and one of the only fighters to successfully pull off a heavy roster shakeup and time jump. All the setup, character depictions and motivations are still very much in line with T1+2.
For me, Tekken 4 is where it got kinda shakey with lame aspects like reducing all the mystical devil stuff to a "devil gene", bringing back Kazuya in a very questionable manner, only for him to do nothing and then wrecked by Jin, amnesia Nina, Hwoarang drafted and becoming a spec ops, Paul losing T3 in a manner worse than getting stuck in traffic and such... Only cool part was the King and Marduk story. =P

yeah overall scenario campaign was shit, gameplay and story both probably but in terms of story here i think what would matter most is just the cutscenes. i think tekken 7's campaign will be much better
It didn't go to shit as soon as 3 came out. But the direction on focusing on Jin was the downturn.
The Artisan
Member
I would say that it is actually Lars that won Tekken 6 (didn't he beat Jin?) also Tekken 4's main theme was the feud between Kazuya and Heihachi also, even though Jin was still the main character
yeah Tekken Force is better off as a side thing, not a main thing. I never finished it, got stuck at the part where you fight Jin for the first time and gave the fuck up.

Honestly, the tournament in 6 was so inconsequential to the plot you could basically say anyone won that one as long as it doesn't conflict with their story and motivation 7.

Worst part about the story mode news is it seems like we've already seen the cool shit in the two intros released.
Talk about dropping the ball. No wonder they couldn't make early 2017, they stopped short to make first half 2017.

Might pump the brakes a bit if it is 1 hour long and not quality. I'm into playing Tekken 7 a lot this summer but at the price point it is here I want to have a lot to do.
Is there no Team Battle? Surely there is, right?

I've always had low expectations anyway. TTT2 was so lacking in solo content (it was basically better than SF5 and that's it) that I've always assumed T7 wouldn't be exceptional solo either. Too bad, though let's be real: most side content in most Tekken games has been lousy. Like did anybody really enjoy Tekken 6's beat-em-up mode?
I'm more worried about the lack of more conventional modes, though at least Treasure Battle sounds cool.
