Please tell me you're not serious.
Don't get me wrong, I <3 Tekken, but Virtua Fighter is the game that showed the way to 3D fighting games.
And the gameplay in VF is very rich, the complexity of the game scales better with the player experience than Tekken.
Just my impressions, that's all.
Because it's not for the people who already have TTT2. It's for people who were on the fence or curious about the franchise but don't want to put down full money on the game just to try it out.

That's the problem with this and DoA.
They're just alternate releases of their currently available games.
The real moving forward of the genre will come when the F2P version is the only one.

Why would this be Sony conference news?
They are still experimenting with F2P. If Tekken Evo and DoA5U F2P succeeds (good chance imo), i'm sure there will be day one F2P versions of the PS4 Tekkens and DoAs.
Pretty sure the movement in Tag 2 is on par with the movement in DR.

3 huge PS Plus games and a new, F2P Tekken would make for some good news during the conference.

Eh, I don't know... they have other things to talk about during the conference, that's why Tekken was revealed beforehand. And if they'd talk about Tekken Revolution, why not DOA Ultimate Core Fighters?

Weaponlord is just a poverty TimeKillers
They'd probably talk about both in a F2P segment, but otherwise, Tekken is big worldwide news, as its a very popular competitive game in Japan/Korea. DOA5 has probably sold the least of any game in the series other than the 3DS one and is on competitive life support.
Timekillers is just a poverty Mortal Kombat.
real talk, Weaponlord was a crazy ambitious game, brought down by an atrocious framerate that was implemented to make it more playable on Xband. What a weird game.

There is, however, a proven market on PCs for F2P games, in comparison to a young and unproven market on consoles. You're right that there's nothing's stopping this game from coming out on console - I just think that it would be an excellent fit for the PC as well, so I'm disappointed that it's console only.
This is an attitude that is changing. FROM put out a PC version of Dark Souls to massive fan request. Capcom have released two different SF games on the platform.
Of course, I just checked on Steam and there are a mighty 5 NB games!
In any case, this isn't a reason why the game shouldn't be on PC. Saying that this development team would be very inexperienced with PC hardware might be more accurate. I know the SF4 engine was built for PC first, as it was on a Taito X2 cabinet (I think?) which runs Windows XP - if Namco's arcade machines are PC-like, porting the engine would be far cheaper. But of course there's a risk involved and those developers could be used to make the PS3 version shine.
SF4 did well, as did SSF4. SFxT is a terrible example as it is a terrible game. Plus, Capcom released them all very late, and yet they did well! A day-and-date launch with the promise of 1080p graphics and stuff like just alt-tabbing to check movelists etc would be a very good sell.
Plus, a F2P fighter would be the best possible entry drug for a new market!
I'll not derail the thread further.
Evolution? the game is called REVOLUTION.
I already PM'ed a mod to change it. I have a tendency to type faster than I read most times forgive me :/
It's already turned into another shitty fighting game pissing contest.
Well if you're trying to educate me about making productive posts I must be doing something horribly wrong.
Namco has some experience with F2P with Tekken Card Tournament so they probably got some valuable feedback from that.

Aren't there a few Tekken characters that are direct riffs of VF characters?

I do hope this let's you play against TTT2 players. If not I see the whole thing falling apart.
I remember hearing it on 1up Yours forever ago. Only comparison I remember is Nina and Sarah

You think so?I think the movement animations are just like T6 (a bit too fast and the characters feel weightless).
I liked DRO because the movements felt like they had the perfect balance between weight and speed in any Tekken so far.It was perfection for me.TT2 felt like T6 (which was a disappointment for me) although i must admit i haven't played TT2 much.

Could this be a sign of things to come? Namco Bandai and Sony partnership

We don't know yet. Likely not, but it's only a few days until we know what's going on for certain.
I think this has more to do with the fact that it's less of hassle to do this sort of stuff on PSN.

No matter how many fans Tekken keeps losing over the years it's nice to see they're just as high.

Wonder if this will also be ported over to the PS4 too, most likely not as easy as that, but would they? Or if they did want to would they have just announced it in that trailer?
