So, prequel?
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.
Seriously, I'm so sick of this already.
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.
VR?

i'm actually surprised its on xb1.
T6 was basically dead on 360 from the get go, I assume the same with TTT2.
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?

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.

How would this even work in a competitive fighting game that is not designed to be played in the first person?
The real question is how they'll integrate VR into Tekken.
Is Gon in?
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.
wtf is happening with this man's mouth!?
There is a huge chance it might come.
Isn't there a PC version already? Or was I dreaming?
