Happy we got something today.

 

[Via Purifico]

So, prequel?

No, this is the final game in the Mishima storyline but not the series.
There has been rumblings about an expansive storymode but those are just rumors for now.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

So does Harada still have an irrational bias against PC? lol

 

[Freiya]

This isn't true. Ultra Street Fighter has sold over 700,000 copies according to SteamSpy. Mortal Kombat (2009) sold over 950,000 copies for a 2 yr old port. Also, the formally busted but now somewhat decent MK X port has sold close to 400,000 copies. Injustice sold over 650,000 copies. Fighting games do sell on PC. However, there communities aren't as big as they are on consoles.

However, the crossplay with PS4 for SFV is very promising for keeping the community going on PC.

Yes! That is the prime reason I preordered sfv on the pc. Cross play should be staple in all fighting games.

 

[zephervack]

Damn it, I thought Unreal engine meant PC for sure,

 

[n051de]

Seriously, I'm so sick of this already.

 

[Gnilres]

Fucking yes! I used to be super into the Tekken story but I lost interest at 5. Hopefully this one will have the gameplay to back it up too

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Eh, alright.

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol...seventh game and they keep appending to that mishima shit

 

[borghe]

Seriously, I'm so sick of this already.

honestly the situation isn't going to get any better. I'd even say as the gap between user bases continues to grow, it'll become even more economical for Sony to buy exclusive content with relatively fewer users affected. Not a fan of exclusive content on any system... but obviously this is the "new exclusive" this gen.. and little indication of it dying down.

VR?
....

 

[Yoshichan]

WHERE THE FUCK IS LEE CHAOLAN?

Played the shit out of this game in the arcades in Japan, loved it - but couldn't stand the fact that Lee wasn't playable.

Still not playable.

 

[OmegaDL50]

....

How would this even work in a competitive fighting game that is not designed to be played in the first person?

Outside of some theater mode with a virtual screen inside the VR itself, but then wouldn't that be defeating the point and might as well play on a real TV anyways.

Wait, did they actually say Xbox One at the Sony Conference of Paris Games Week? No, not that I remember, did they?

Not that I would be surprised if it came to Xbox One or any other platform (except Vita... that would be a surprise,) but I think the report was wrong if the Paris show was what we're sourcing and not a Namco Bandai press statement? They specifically said "VR", and PS4 of course, does anybody have confirmation of Xbox yet?


EDIT = Thanks jbug617. Unless they pluralized "consoles" but meant "PS4 and Nintendo NX", it's pretty much got to be PS & Xbox.

I was just about to update this post with Namco Bandai's press release, which kinda confirmed Xbox but kinda did not, so I was still confused what's been made official, and still am a bit, but I assume it's just a timing matter...

Press Release:

BLOOD WILL BE DRAWN AND BONES SPLINTERED AS

i'm actually surprised its on xb1.

T6 was basically dead on 360 from the get go, I assume the same with TTT2.

 

[Xpliskin]

Seriously ?



We already knew this .


At least give us a season to expect a release or what features exactly will be new ... .


What an underwhelming announcement.

 

[akilshohen]

Wasn't Tekken 6 basically DOA when it came out with that horrible netcode? I don't see why any third party title would be exclusive these days to be honest. Plus it was on the UE4 sizzle reel last year too.

Spoiler

getting really close to buying a PS4 for SFV tho

 

[BumblebeeCody]

I'll buy it if they buff Lars.'

Youtube Trailer for Bandai Namco has this

Tekken 7 was announced for Home Consoles at Paris Games Week! Stay tuned to the official Tekken website and Facebook page for updates in the coming months:

[eFKac]

Yay PC port begging!

Not sure how to feel about this, I'm not huge on fighting games but always had a Tekken for the local matches, didn't like 6 at all though.

Maybe I'll get SF this time, really enjoyed what I played of it, doesn't seem very hard to get in which is important for a casual like me.

Interested what the VR mode will be.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

 

[Numb]

[Psyren]

So the hubbub about PC possibly getting it isn't going to happen. Pity about that...

I've pretty much committed myself to skipping this console gen altogether, so i guess it's one game i won't get to play.

 

[ODDI]

About goddamn time.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

TTT2 is still pretty active on 360, I still play it to this day. Tekken 6 did die off early though.

WHERE THE FUCK IS LEE CHAOLAN?

Played the shit out of this game in the arcades in Japan, loved it - but couldn't stand the fact that Lee wasn't playable.

i`m sure that he`ll make it in. he is technically a Mishima after all, and this game seems to be focusing on them more than ever.

 

[Fardeen]

pc version please

 

[Nestunt]

they should have given at least a window after such fanfare

Same, I'd buy it if it was on PC, but SFV will have to do. Kind of a shame particularly when it's UE4 making a PC port trivial. Still a chance it happens later though. Used to like the old Tekken games. Haven't kept up with the most recent ones

 

[Ninhead]

Tekken Tag 2 BC on 360, Namco?

 

[Dragun619]

I mean, I don't think it's gonna be that bad anyways. Or at least enough to sway those away from the XB1 version.

It'll probably be like the same shit they did for the Wii U version, and have a ton of PlayStation customize items like hats, costumes, and shit.

Playstation VR support might be something tho.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Home release better have Lee in it.

WHERE THE FUCK IS LEE CHAOLAN?

You are a good person.

It hurts.

 

[Nesther]

The real question is how they'll integrate VR into Tekken.

 

[joey_bone_bomb]

How would this even work in a competitive fighting game that is not designed to be played in the first person?

In a similar way as it will work with every other 3rd person perspective game that will be released for VR.
VR does not mean First Person.

 

[Tain]

The real question is how they'll integrate VR into Tekken.

Keeping a similar camera is a given. It won't be first-person. How they handle camera movement will be the interesting part, but they have a number of options.

 

[Xiaoki]

Wasnt this confirmed as BS 2 weeks ago?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1123542&highlight=tekken

Eh, guess he just wanted to try to contain leaks so the announcement would mean something. Take notes Ono.

 

[Son Of D]

Wonder what the PS exclusive content will be? Seeing that Tekken and PS share anniversaries it could just be PS themed costumes or customisations. Like the Nintendo costumes Tekken Tag 2 got for the Wii U edition.

 

[Dereck]

Is Gon in?

 

[Shredderi]

Coming to consoles? Biggest surprise of the event. Was also a good call for them to not show any actual fighting in a trailer for a fighting game. I myself am playing these for the stories.

 

[SgtCobra]

The PC port begging in this thread is not even subtle, of course it will come to that platform sooner or later, jeeeeez

 

[AdaWong]

No nina is still sooooo baffling.

wtf is happening with this man's mouth!?

and eye!!

 

[Generic Power Ranger]

Look forward to seeing the VR implantation

I got sooo damn upset that we never got Tekken ball on ps3 in TTT2 though.. Still stings.. Ugh.

 

[Quintin DM]

I mean this isn't surprising in the least but it's nice to see it officially confirmed.

 

[pislit]

There is a huge chance it might come.

Isn't there a PC version already? Or was I dreaming?

 

[Rajang]

No.

[Accoun]

The arcade board IIRC is PC-based and runs on Windows 7 Embedded, but there was no PC version officially announced.

 

[RazielCuts]

The real question is how they'll integrate VR into Tekken.

Why can I see it being a character model viewer akin to something like Summer Lesson..
