This rumor is coming from 2ch about Namco's new arcade hardware called System 478 (Tekken Tag 2 is on system 369). The 2ch post talks about the hardware being made and that Tekken 7 and a new Gundam VS game will be on the new hardware. The post says the news is from Namco New Product Business Meeting (which is happening August 28th-29th)

Here is the post from 2ch if anybody wants to translate.

[thuway]

Any idea what specs are for the new hardware? It's hard to get excited with vague news.

 

[iavi]

Probably X86 based as well

 

[abstract alien]

I would say I hope it's not so juggle focused and brought back the different environments, but who am I kidding. I'll still buy it anyway.

 

[MightyKAC]

Here's hoping we see something about this at TGS.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

So are nextgen fighting games going to get their asses kicked in the graphics department by TPSes again?

 

[Teknopathetic]

Seems pretty obvious.


"So are nextgen fighting games going to get their asses kicked in the graphics department by TPSes again?"

So long as they're aiming for a perfect solid 60fps and not a sketchy-not-really-30fps like TPSes, yes, they will.

 

[Poimandres]

New arcade hardware? Sexy.

I miss the days when arcade hardware was unfathomably powerful.

 

[Jubern]

Whens mahve... Uuuuh I mean Full Boost.

Is this based on PS4, like previous Namco arcade systems?

 

[kenji_sama]

Hope we will see it at 9/9 PS4 event

 

[Skunkers]

Guess that's the nail in the coffin of Tekken X Street Fighter, if it weren't pretty clear already.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Tekken x Street Fighter has truly been abandoned then. ._.

 

[AnkiRendan]

Hoping that Jun Kazama and Kunimitsu make their canon series return (as well as Kunimitsu's return to arcade!)

 

[Kincaido]

That's great and all, but hurry the fuck up and port FB.



Please.

 

[Megalosaro]

Is PS4 region locked?

If so, I hope we eventually get a home port of it for that.

 

[Salex]

Next gen Tekken? YES PLEASE

 

[Sayah]

Really can't wait to see T7. Even a teaser will get me hyped.

Guess that's the nail in the coffin of Tekken X Street Fighter, if it weren't pretty clear already.

TKXSF is alive and well.

Harada has confirmed it to be in development several times.

[SneakyStephan]

Arcade hardware? Nostalgia overload.
I miss seeing new arcade machines with mindblowing graphics.

I remember during the psx days that the incredible image quality and unbelievably smooth 60 fps framerate of these things always blew me away.

 

[AAK]

Guess that's the nail in the coffin of Tekken X Street Fighter, if it weren't pretty clear already.

From Harada's Comic con panel where they did the vote for the TR character:

 

[PopInnovation]

Tekken x Street Fighter has truly been abandoned then. ._.

Considering TxSF is an off-shoot, non-arcade game... I'd say no, it hasn't.

 

[Killah]

Looking forward to a next-gen Gundam VS

 

[TheOGB]

Tekken 7 IS TxSF, DOA5 style.

 

[Gadirok]

Looking forward to a next-gen Gundam VS

Looking forward to the PS3/PS4 port.

I could dream but I would really love for it to come to the Vita but I have a feeling it won't happen.

Been awhile since a versus title hit the handhelds.

 

[enzo_gt]

From Harada's Comic con panel where they did the vote for the TR character:

Why would anyone worry when everyone already has a phone that they'll be able to play it on for free?

Guess I'll just shut the fuck up then lol

 

[Troubled Bat]

Hey, I just want some actual news to appear already. All we had was the concept art of Ryu and Chun-Li, Ryu model, Ken (Heihachi) video tease/demonstration. /: Which was a long time ago.

 

[xk0sm0sx]

New Idolmaster cabinet...

 

[Kagari]

It is not.

 

[Flying Wonkey]

Hmmm, anyone know what a Pandai Namco is? lol.

I hear you bro. Just don't lose hope because details of a main series, on an entirely different system, were leaked.

Harada has been a man of his word so far. No reason to write it off.

 

[Squire]

Hope we will see it at 9/9 PS4 event

Tekken 7 would probably be 2-3, maybe even 4 years off. They're helping with Smash now and now that they've indicated Tekken X Street Fighter is still on, that's very likely their next project.

 

[Rulp]

Interesting. I love Namco's arcade hardware.

 

[Finaika]

Any idea what specs are for the new hardware? It's hard to get excited with vague news.

I hope its based on the PS4 hardware.

 

[Skilletor]

So are nextgen fighting games going to get their asses kicked in the graphics department by TPSes again?

So long as TPSes aim for 30fps or lower and fighters continue to maintain 60fps, probably.

Seems pretty obvious.

2 fast 4 me

 

[Contra11]

I hope its based on the PS4 hardware.

I hope it's better

 

[Parallax]

From Harada's Comic con panel where they did the vote for the TR character:

I got a black bush vibe from that

 

[Coxy]

well I cant confirm it for sure but system 2xx board were ps2 based and system 3xx boards were ps3 based so then it's fairly safe to assume system 4xx boards are ps4 based

guess we'll get Full Boost to finish off this gen then have that to look forward to

 

[Finaika]

I hope it's better

Uh, then we will have a gimped console port

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Seems pretty obvious.

Damn. Wasn't the case during the PS2 years, IIRC.

[Aizu_Itsuko]

Tekken 1, 2, 3, Tag ---> PS1 based hardware
Tekken 4, 5 ---> PS2 based hardware
Tekken 6, Tag2 ---> PS3 based hardware
Tekken 7 ---> ???

 

[RelentlessRolento]

at least they are doing arcade release first, which is what I care about since I want my home stuff balanced nice n good

 

[MrCookiepants]

Tekken 7 IS TxSF, DOA5 style.

I'd be okay with that, actually. Just add Ryu and Chun-Li to the cast and give them each 100+ moves.

 

[Dereck]

Tekken 7 IS TxSF, DOA5 style.

Bleh

 

[Xater]

Guess I'll have to get ready to pay some outrageous price again once the console version of Gundam VS is out...

 

[Creaking]

Aww yeah. Tekken is probably my favorite fighting game, and I'm dying to see a realistically styled (graphics wise [for the most part]) fighting game on next gen. Plus, Xbox has Killer Instinct coming. It'd be nice to know that Tekken 7 is at least on the way.

 

[AAK]

Hmmm, anyone know what a Pandai Namco is? lol.

Okay I missed this post... false alarm everyone.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I think it is obvious that Tekken 7 would be on new hardware and most likely for next generation at some point, but unfortunately, I don't think we will see it materialize until 2016-2017 at the earliest generously speaking if Tekken X SF is still actually coming out. Screw the arcades though, I rather have Tekken 7 at home first instead of having to wait 1 to 2 years for the home version.

I didn't enjoy watching Tekken Tag 2 YouTube videos for 2 years until it actually came out.
