Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Silent Hill arcade? Tekken 6 to be shown tomorrow?
- Thread starter Doom_Bringer
- Start date
Arcade version always comes first so the possible problems with char-balance and move-sets can be adjusted for consoles.
I agree in some point. The T3 roster is legendary and somewhat the core of Tekken series. Including Kazuya ofcourse. Raven and Feng dont feel so at place but Asuka did naturally due the obvious links to Jun. I Like Dragunov and Lili very much too, but they feel pretty separated from the main roster.
Zafina looks like crap to me. I always hated Christie in T5 (Eddy rules!) and she feels like a copy of her. The hemo gay Leo in the ohter hand feels and looks great to me. We now have two Gaylords in Tekken! Wohoo... (Lee is the other)
I know that i will buy this shit ofcourse some day, but today is the day of mourning. Maybe T7 will show us the next-gen of Fighting.

Tekken 6 was a big disappointment - I totally agree with Bebpo, it's definitely the worst looking of the big 3 - it really needs work on the textures, lighting, animation & the stages look kinda empty...It seems that Japanese devs have serious problems with the next-gen hardware.

The Tekken 3 roster just builds on what Tekken 2 started, though. It also only got a few new characters.
And you base this on what? A few seconds of footage from an incomplete game?
Same here.
All we've seen is an early movie. Why not wait to hear about what's important, I.E. GAME PLAY first? I agree that the game doesn't look like anything special though, but it's also just early footage.

IS this game being developed on next-gen hardware?

Namco has no idea what they're doing anymore. Tekken looks just good enough, but not OMG great. Back on the PS2, Tekken's graphics were OMG great. If this game doesn't improve like crazy by time it hits the PS3, I think I might be done with Tekken. Same animations, same old hit fire cloud, nothing new or different when it comes to stages, and one of the worse two character addition ever. They didn't even come close to the Jin render they so boldly use at the being of the trailer.
I know. But the T3 roster just feels like the core thing to me. Hwoarang fits nicely and the looks that were implemented (is that a word?) there are the basis for example in T5.
I was referring to the looks of her. Very boring looking gal.
I agree. But the core character-models are usually locked very early so dont expect too much improvement there. Personally id like to see much more emphasis on the hitting and moving so they would look more realistic. T5 looks fine but with new technology i want to see something else.

We are all "graphic whores". If you are playing your 360 or PS3 or both on a new HDTV, you are because of the picture quality. We all didn't spend $1000 plus for some next gen consoles and an HDTV to look at dated graphics.

funnything is despite the character models been more basic, I think the Arena section in HS looks better than any of the three fighting games so far, its probably the lighting but yeah, there are large single player games which look better in an expansive area than these games do....

Wellllll...yes and no.
The way I see the breakdown is:
Tekken 3
Genuinely new / Become series mainstays
Bryan - New
Gordo - New
Xiaoyu - New
Jin - New
Pretty slight changes
Hwaorang - Baek evolved
Julia - Michelle evolved
Not really worth distinguishing
Panda - total Kuma clone
Forest Law - total Marshall clone
Whatever
Ogre - New, but crap, forgettable, etc.
So even given that breakdown which slashes the roster in half, you've still got four significant new entries, which I'd put in as more than the rest of the series (TT - 5DR) have managed to come up with combined.
Compare that to Tekken 2 which added:
Jun
Lei
Baek
Bruce
Roger
Of those, I'd argue that only Lei really went on to become a series mainstay even though T5 returned a lot of the characters to (uncertain) glory.
Jun is obviously resurrected in Asuka, Baek is obviously resurrected in Hwaorang, and if you really wanted, you could try to connect Bruce and Bryan.... so you could argue up to 4 if you really wanted to push it for a tie, but I'd still say that overall, T3 was the most significant for defining the character roster beyond the first game in the series thus far....

I'm not saying that some of them are literally the same character, but Jin is like Kazuya and Jun combined, and Bryan was the replacement for Bruce. Tekken 4 did more to change things up and combine a lot of the clones into single characters, plus change the game play, but then everyone complained and Tekken 5 went back to the older style...
Look closer
Well that particular screen is probably the coolest. Muscle-structure shows pretty well!
But what the **** is with those new hit-effects ?! Some crappy distorting lenses and theyre not even round... i hope Namco loses them fast.
EDIT: I disagree on that Bryan was a Bruce remake. Yes theyre both kick-boxers but the move-sets differ greatly. Animations and stats-alike.

I like how the new trailer shows a brief clip from that comedic video just to rub the shit into our collective mugs. :lol Too bad people will never learn the lesson...
The moels look average to me...and that's not helped by the character designs looking limp. Some of the background designs look pretty cool, but so far VF5's got this beat, and DOA4 doesn't look any worse.
And I don't see what the big deal is with SH arcade...it's a spinoff game and a way for Konami to slip a few extra bucks into their jeans. I don't know why that's being regarded as the crime of the century.
Tekken 3's 20 year jump after T2 did set them up to really shake up the cast but I still think the new additions since then have been great. Steve Fox was a major addition.
Bryan was definitely a Bruce replacement at first. They don't just share the same style, they also shared several moves. Bryan even has strings called "Bruce Rush" that they didn't even bother to rename. Hwoarang has always been quite a bit different then Baek but everyone considers him a replacement.
These days they should just keep everyone, they've all evolved so much.

Okay, so even then it's only three new characters.
What's cool about Tekken, and something I wish other games would do, is that they really go all out in changing the characters' appearances in the sequels. The characters age or get replaced by younger family members or different people. I wish this would happen more often in other games.
Lyte Edge said:
That`s because in Tekken the Story line is so strong and great. It affects the characters allways in real-time. I for one love to speculate on the relationships of the characters.
I love how they included the massive scars in Kazuyas torso when Heihachi dropped him in to the volcano <3
Tekken 4 has some great story moments. I miss them in T5 which is a little too much humoristic about the endings of the characters.
Did you know btw that Tekken 5 begins exactly where Tekken 4 ends. Play Tekken 4 with Jin to see this yourself (if you didnt know this beforehand)
Lyte Edge said:
Yeah, I allowed for the Byan/Bruce analogy at the bottom. I can also grant that Jin didn't really define himself until T4 as wholly unique, but I'd say he's still a pretty core character to the franchise at this point and that's where he got his start either way. At the end of the day, I'd still say we saw pretty significant roster advancement in T3, which was really all my point was. Also why I said "yes and no," since I do agree that Tekken 2 was significant as well...
If I'm being unfair to anything, it's probably Tekken 4, which did introduce Marduk and Steve Fox, neither of which really seem to be going away anytime soon. Still, it's difficult to see the Tekken 5 assembly become anywhere near as recognized outside of the Asuka introduction. Does anyone really see Raven and Feng even making it into 6? I know I really wouldn't care if they didn't, personally.....

Maybe, the self-shadowing isn't as apparent is in VF5 anyway and it makes the characters look a bit flat in comparison. But I like the look, I never had any real problems with the look of DOA4 that had zero self-shadowing either. The game looks good. People are probably just complaining for the sake of complaining. I mean, It's GAF. What's to expect? :/TTP said:
Day one purchase for me when ever it hits Europe anyway.
Seems like Tekken 6 hasn't had much of an improvement since E3-06 (look like TR-HD+), but I'm a Tekken whore, so I'm dying for it. Silent Hill Arcade seems like a shitty HOTD cash-in... Wii port confirmed. Anyway, Namco seems like their giving a big **** you to Next-Gen expectations.

Do the graphics in the pics look washed out to anyone else? This seems to be the case in some PS3 games, and I remember people speculating it was because of the Nvidia graphics card (Xbox often had that look too). There are a lot of PS3 games that have a nice "crisp" look though, so I'm thinking maybe it happens when devs use the built-in filters in RSX...?

I wonder where all these PS3 graphic whores were last gen when the DC manage to stomp it with just a vga box in terms of visual output. Now you get some fixed rate crappy lcds with crappy blacks and suddenly graphics mean something to you. Saying welcome to the club would suffice at this point, but the way you guys whine about graphics now and used the same crap Wii players have a habit of doing is quite funny to see the tables turn.
Sucks to be you BTW I spent less than 500$ on my monitor and calibration setup and it certainly rapes the crap out of yours, Sony GDM-FW900 FTW. I know it sounds hateful but live with it till the mainstream catches up to Hi Resolution developers will get away with this crap.
Dante said:
That's my opinion too,I think it looks really good but it's also quite early. There's no crowd, very limited background animations and the lighting doesn't feel final. Anyway this confirms that the E3 trailer had nothing to do with the real game and the announcement of the PS3 based arcade board is really good too.

SNOOOOOOZE!!
Looks great.
One is female (atleast I hope), one is Male. They don't have to look the exact same to be related...zoukka said:Leo does not look anything like Paul ?
Paul has that Yankee-masculine head and Leo looks like "Final Fantasy XII-2 Vaan-gone-to-pop-stardom" thingy...
In the other hand Paul did "live" a little in the end of Iron Fist Tournament 4
could be paul's sister, or daughter. or none of the above, who knows.
