New Tekken 6 Screens Just As Ridiculous As The Last Ones

Namco Bandai hit us with a six-part combo of new Tekken 6 screen shots today, each more bear fight-filled and eye-laser packed than the last. Oh, it's Tekken alright. Crazy, insane Tekken. We really ought to run caption contests for these things, as whatever justification you, the reader, can provide as to why Paul would be striking a wild bear in the armpit with such force that it causes fireballs and tears in space, yet his hair remains unmolested and upright is better than Tekken 6's storyline.

Is it just me or did the graphics get downgraded since going multiplatform

Microsoft must have paid them off

[panasonic23]

no it look better than tekken 5 dr that game was only on ps3

[sonarus]

Yea but it doesn't look as good as the Tekken arcade (which runs on PS3 hardware)

Just so you know Tekken 5DR is a psp port...nice try though:D now go collect your MS salary since they are obviously paying you

[Jinxstar]

Maybe it's just me but I am really starting to lose interest in this game... Don't know how it looked before but i believe you. Maybe it's not being able to install or something thats effecting it...

[Israfel]

I'm mean half a decade, almost 5 years of developement for THIS?
I've always played tekken games, but this is unacceptable. There's 100's of games that look better, Alan wake, KZ2. etc.

Namco can GTFO.

[na2ru1]

Thanks to the limition of 360's "hardware", the DVD(i'm pretty sure it's a hardware), endings will be all toned down to real-time. No more Tekken style cgi endings.

[kewlkat007]

Don't worry there are plenty others that loose interest in games that have gone Multiplatform.

It's nothing new....on N4G.

I wonder what game is next..I remember everyone praising Tekken 6 against Virtua Fighter 5 on 360 after that game went platform.

Round and round we go..conspiracies and blames.

[sonarus]

virtua fighter is an amazing fighter but i have always been more of a tekken fan. If virtua fighter six got announced i would bounce on it like a drug fiend that just spotted crack

[Tony P]

I can understand the lost interest. They game suffers from over-exposure. It's been out in arcades since 2007 so people probably expect a short time to port. But realistically, Namco won't just do that without adding all those great extras and modes which actually make it worth owning on console.

[dalibor]

Tony P hopefully they add tekken bowling(tekken tag), beachball mode(tekken 3) and that tag feature where up to 4 people can compete online(tekken tag). Hopefully these modes are in tekken 6 and mybe some new ones too.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

98% of all multiplatform games come out bad on the PS3, MS sure pays off alot of people :)

[InMyOpinion]

Why would the 360 be the cause of the downgrade when most multiplat versions of games perform worse on the PS3?

Logically the PS3 would be the problem.

[Bnet343]

Tekken sucks even though I sort of enjoyed the PSP Tekken game. Now people stopped calling it the best fighting franchise ever. I'm glad.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

you want to see what the game looked like be for it was multiplat.

2007
http://home.comcast.net/~de...

blame it on 360, lol, typical. did you know that SC4 was built on 360, yep it sure was......but, you didn't know that did you.

which is also why 360's version runs at a higher rez.

http://www.destructoid.com/...

[ThanatosDMC]

If these are official console shots, then yes it downgraded. I've played the arcade version back in Vegas and it looked better than the Tekken 5 we play on our PS3s.

The main boss is a lame dinosaur. It costs a lot per credit for the arcade version.

King owns ALL!

[yanikins111]

Reasons I Hate Tekken

1)Why the fireballs and lightening? Its over the top. It just doesnt "look right"

2)Lame characters. Is it Jin? the guy with big black wings? ok, rip that guy out of the game and make an rpg based on him with absolutely no references to tekken gameplay.... ok maybe a little bit on a mini game.... I WOULD BUY THAT! the guy looks freakin awesome and powerful. The other characters are meh. a wood man? a robot? some alien/samurai? the characters look neither intimidating or interesting compared to wing man... they are kinda.... joke-ish

3)Controls. Never liked them. Blah. I grew up with street fighter. tekken combos make no sense.

4) Special moves. Seen alot, cant remember them. Unimpressive and uninspiring.

Just my opinion, but damn I cant wait for street fighter 4....

[ThanatosDMC]

1. Most fighting games have some sort of thing like this so you could see the punch/kick connect.

2. Yes, i agree characters in the game are random but so are most if not all fighting games. Baracka (sp), what is he? The kangaroo in Tekken is by far the weirdest for me.

3. I grew up in Tekken controls. Street Fighter for me is weird. You have to move the stick several times to do Ryu's/Ken's uppercut.

4. Special Moves in Tekken or moves in Tekken for the most part are based off on actual fighting styles. Street fighter is flat and everybody has a projectile or is the projectile. The girl on that pic wearing white is a pain to fight online not as much as Eddie though.

Yes, im defensive about Tekken.

[Helghast Slayer]

Another potential AAA game that has fallen short by going multiplat. Why people don't see that the 360 is holding this generation and devs back is beyond me.

RE5 with it's last gen gameplay, limited animations, atrocious controls and lack of character dialog, SC4 DLC because of lack of space on the dvd and many more reasons.

I hope you 360 people are happy. No really, you should congratulate yourselfs for helping M$ bring down game quality.

[LTC]

U hit the nail on the head

Thats why sony have first party devs that really show what the PS3 can do. An example KZ2 which is leagues beyond what the 360 is capable of.

[3sq]

So true

GTA 4 Downgraded Checked
RE 5 Downgraded Checked
Tekken 6 Downgraded Checked
FF XIII downgraded Checked

[360 man]

so RE5 is downgraded even tho it looks better on xbox

[Kratos19]

Yep, Microsoft have let down the gaming community once again.

[3sq]

"so RE5 is downgraded even tho it looks better on xbox"

Because RE5 was not developed with PS3's architecture in mind.

and I think the PS3's version is a port.

If it was developed solely for PS3, well god knows.

Go and look at Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Lair(Graphic-wise), MGS4, GT Prologue, Ultimate Ninja Storm and of course Killzone 2.

They are BREATH TAKING.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Fallen short on the PS3 maybe, but thats the norm for multiplat games on the PS3. You know, bad frameates, jaggies, sound misses, and poor sales. but but teh cell, hey, wasn't this game a Playstation exclusive once? taste like droid anger XD

[karlostomy]

Well, honestly!

By all accounts, it is the ps3 that is holding back the 360 in multiplats.

How embarrassing.

[n to the b]

what a stupid, stupid comment Helghast Slayer. u r a turd.

last-gen gameplay with atrocious controls? the video I saw on XBL states the devs took a cue from GEARS and decided to offer movement while aiming WHICH DIFFERS FROM THEIR STANDARD CONTROLS THEY TOOK FROM RE4. so an xbox exclusive helped inspire better controls for RE5.

limited animations? let's look at other 360 3rd-person shooters (not all exclusive) that have great character animations: GEARS, Lost Planet, Dark Sector. so u look pretty stupid if you're trying to say the 360 can't handle proper character animations.

and did u defend the technically inferior PS2 vs original xbox last-gen? I bet u did. playstation fans who were in love with PS2 last-gen r silly if they try and claim the 360 is holding things back this-gen. all of a sudden that matters, when it didn't last-gen?

bubbles down for u, turd.

[Llort]

Wow.... The graphics are seriously lacking. This is what happens when you go multi-platform with a console that can't handle PS3 graphics.

[Dragunov]

tekken 5 dr online runs at 1080p 60fps flawlessly

I'm pretty sure that tekken 6 will run at 60 FPS too, not sure about the 1080p since the 360 can't do it :(

Good luck trying to play it with that cheap d-pad

[marichuu]

Weren't most PS3 games running at 720p max?
I agree about the d-pad, it's terrible... I hated playing MK vs DCU because of it.
Might get Tekken 6 for the PS3, but the game still looks the same and outdated, and I'm not talking graphics, but general gameplay.

[TheForgotten0ne]

What are you talking about? This is the type of screen that the people loving Tekken wants...This is what the game is about? What else should it be screenshots from? It's a fighting game, and you get what you want from these screens.

Just one thing, What the Fudge is up with Paul's hair? It dosen't look right, that was bad bad bad!

And I hope we get to know why the Bears (don't remember name) eyes are glowing, that was also ugly. But all the others where sweet :D

[Frood]

button bashin crap

[Sharpshell]

is it me or does it look like Virtua Fighter, like to me the graphics arn't any better than Virtua Fighters, which is weird cause I thought the graphics in Soul Caliber were pretty good.... weird

[jhani]

..a psn download title:) hehe
seriously, this sucks. I think namco did not allocate enough resources to this game. I mean Soul Calibur 4 turned out pretty good. But what they doing this to such a popular franchise as tekken is a shame and saddens me. This has turned out to be a incorrigible damage!

May the force be with u all;)

[xionpunk]

I'll be too busy with SFIV

[Thoreau]

tekken 4 was the best 3d fighter of all time. disagree if you want with me, but type why you disagree. the only characters that were unplayable in t4 was lei, julia(sidestep issues), and combot. people talk about jin being so dominate, but i doubt they could play jin correctly. hell even maddogjin lost to a ling player. the characters were designed to look life like. the wall shove was revolutionary. the stage designs were only second to doa 3.1. t4 was the most mental 3d fighter as well. virtua 4 and 5 was a game of throw, low jab and punch, punch. t6br looks like a tekken 5 upgrade. now all the characters have 10 frame jabs. no wall shove. no tag system. the game looks like ps2.5 game. [email protected] you namco for ruining tekken. kazuya hellsweep no longer knocks down on the first hit. no 112 wall splat. the wall is even sh!tter now. they downgraded kazuya but he is still top tier. the game will sell but die quickly. street fighter 4 will be better

[Thoreau]

^^^^^absolutely right

[Thoreau]

360 man, if you actually owned a ps3 you would change your name. i own a 360 (still playing fallout 3) and i disagree with most diehard 360 owners. if you like to pay $50 times 4 years for online play be my guest.

[Kratos19]

I'm not too concerned about the graphics, but I'm disappointed that the game was dleayed a whole year just because of Microsoft and the 360. Namco have really let down the Tekken fanbase- they should have released it as soon as possible on the PS3 and ported it to the 360 later on. Not make them wait even longer for the game.

[jcgamer]

no one is to blame...but the curse REMAINS...

lol

[Danja]

The M$ CHEQUE Book is to be blamed...XD

[testerg35]

Now PS3 fans not buying this because its multiplatform would be sweet. Namco would realize what a bunch of emotional women PS3 fans are and stop developing for the PS3 because lack of interest.

[Arnon]

Lulz.. that was funny XD

[Pootie Tang]

It's unbelievable the whining on here, i have both consoles so i get the exclusives i want but multi platform games still look better on the 360.

[BLAKICEMAN]

some people say that the game looks not as good as the arcade version that runs on Ps3 hardware. Well duh, the arcade version only has fighting and thats it. Console games have extras and other modes. if you want just a fighting game and thats it go someone aand play it in an arcade and stop cryin.

[xxBATTLECATxx]

whats with all the Tekken hate?
just cuz it went multi plat? and sonarus i never expected that from you, saying its been dumbed down for 360, i used to value your opion too. STILL, for tekken 6 id be good with just a demo first then bargain bin later. what i REALLY want is King of Fighters 12, thats my fave fighting series, and if any of you have seen gameplay yet, theyd agree its GORGEOUS except for Ralph, he looks like an elephant on two legs.

[mbanatech25]

sony should chooz games which ar fit for the black beast

[Thoreau]

the phantom xbox disagreer strikes again. they must enjoy paying money for online play. disagree some more if you want. i bought the 360 and ps3. anyone with half a brain that owns both systems will only pay for xblive if they have friends that only have xboxs.

NTOB, gears of war animations were not good=you just only own the xbox so you have your booty goggles on. it is ok to be an xbox fan when you don't own a ps3.

[n to the b]

f u thoreau. aren't there other games now that borrow from the WELL-ANIMATED 'roadie run' featured in original GEARS??

[Pleth]

But I prefer Mortal Combat. Not that I play fighting games anymore but the one thing that has always stuck with me all these years.....RAIDEN WINS!
