Tekken 7 announcement leaked, uses Unreal Engine 4

Gematsu: "Looks like the rumor was true. A leaked IGN News video, published by AOL.com Video ahead of tonight’s official announcement, reveals Tekken 7 will be powered by Unreal Engine 4 and launch for current gen consoles.

“With Unreal Engine 4, we can rapidly achieve the visual quality expected on next-gen platforms and go beyond it,” Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada is quoted as saying in the video. “Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, but it allows us to easily bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire.”

Further details were not announced."

YYYYEEEEEESSSSS FINALLY

you guys have no idea how excited i am.

[fardan85]

I think I have an idea, my PS3 gets daily love because of Tekken Tag, Tekken 7 will put my PS3 to sleep & PS4 to serious work.

[Eonjay]

Exact same situation. But I hope 7 has a tag mode...

[fardan85]

@Eonjay
It's unlikely that we will get a Tag Mode in Tek7. I expect Tek Tag 3 around 2022.
I hope we get a local co-op mode like Tek Force Mode or similar to Tek 6.

[bouzebbal]

so no Tekken vs SF?

[Clogmaster]

I hope for a full Tekken Force mode that plays like Urban Reign as well.

[KakashiHotake]

I feel you. I practically grew up playing Tekken. Still remember staying up late on school nights, me and my dad would be up pass midnight playing Tekken 2. lol

[Utalkin2me]

As long as it is better then Tekken 6.

[Shuyin]

Gameplay-wise Tekken 6 was some of the best within the series. Stages and OST was good too.

The campaign was truly horrible, though.

[mcarsehat]

I hope they go along the tekken tag 2 direction. nostalgia wins all and the old fightrs are better.....and get GON, we like GON.

[LOGICWINS]

Day 1 for me.

[Majin-vegeta]

Less juggle combos seriously if you were caught in one it was over.Also bring back T3 Force mode.

[Matt666]

Tekken 3 is my favorite tekken and in my own opinion I also think its the best Tekken

[KakashiHotake]

Tekken 3 was really good but i thought Tekken Tag was the best. It was basically Tekken 3 but with the ability to tag in a partner. That little bit of added depth made a huge difference strategically.

[NarooN]

Yeah, Tekken Tag 1 is still my favorite Tekken ever. Tekken 3 was indeed great though, and Tekken 5/DR were also awesome.

About this announcement, OMFGBBQSAWCE FINALLY!

THANK YOU BASED HARADA-SAMA

[MWH]

The only downside is it didn't have Kazuya.

[ShinMaster]

Didn't Tekken 6 have a similar mode?

[TomahawkX]

I just hope it's not cross-gen bs like MKX.

[Dark11]

Does it really matter? it fighting game after all
i have no problem with cross-gen fighting games.

[TomahawkX]

yea it does matter, I want them to push the graphics as far as they can and not be held back by the previous gen.

[LOGICWINS]

^^Tekken has never pushed graphics that far anyways. Even if its current gen only, I don't expect it to look like Uncharted. It'll look good, but nothing mind blowing. The focus has always been on gameplay. What I'm hoping for is wear and tear on fighters throughout the match.

[Sy_Wolf]

Actually supporting last gen wouldn't hold graphics back. It's a fighting game so nothing complex is happening and they could just crank up the eye candy on the new hardware and have it play the same on the old hardware.

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

Cross-gen can be done well...Just not by the Mortal Kombat devs. Guilty Gear Xrd is cross-gen but the payoff is being able to link both the PS3 & PS4 community together so they can play online with each other.

[Fixay]

I hope it is cross gen and we will have the ability to play with previous gen players!

The more players the better

[ShinMaster]

The best looking 3D fighter to date is Soul Calibur 5 on PS3/360, followed by DOA5 and Tekken Tag 2/Revolution.

Not even KI on Xbox One looks as good despite the new hardware. So it all depends on the developer.

[caseh]

DOA5 is by far the best looking fighter to date but by no means the best game, I would give that to TTT2.

[LackTrue4K]

Unless they change to Unreal 3 on old gen, I don't think will happen....

Cuz I doubt The Unreal engine 4 can run on old systems

[JCOLE13195]

It's been a while since I've played a Tekken game. I'll keep an eye out!

[chrissx]

Yes! The King of Iron Fist is back! Hopefully its on current gen only

[weirdo]

meh! i want virtua fighter 6

[Hanso]

Lars and Jin my Team

[KakashiHotake]

Lei and King for me.

[Shuyin]

That is my tag as well, lol.

[kingPoS]

Xiaoyu and Anna, I love taking down Jin & Kaz with them. lol

Gateway MT6706 2008

[PaleMoonDeath]

Current gen consoles, so PS4 and XB1 right?

I hope so, getting tired of cross gen games.

[Father Murder X]

Where the hell is Tekken vs. Streetfighter? I have been waiting on that for a while.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I was excited for the TxSF like 3 years ago but now I don't want it. I don't like SF characters in the Tekken universe. If it does come out I hope it's worth playing but I'm happy Harada is focusing on their own game 1st.

[zagambe]

Unreal engine 4.. You know what that means.. NO CROSS GEN. Exited!

[Sy_Wolf]

Actually the Unreal Engine 4 supports everything from phones to top of the line PCs. That includes the last generation consoles.

[zagambe]

sorry man, no PS3/Xbox360/Wiiu support.

http://www.computerandvideo...

[Sy_Wolf]

My mistake, didn't realize Epic were being idiots with supported platforms. On a technical level it would run fine on the old consoles though.

[Doritos_Pope]

Yiss!
Cant wait! glad it isnt cross gen!

[Activemessiah]

"we can Bring tekken to any platform we desire"

something tells me he's not talking about wii U

[chrissx]

Exactly...that statement just screams cross gen I just hope I'm wrong

[KillerPwned]

Awesome! I been waiting for this announcement. Cannot wait to get back into the Iron Fist Tournament.

[demonJAKAL]

Needs to be on the Vita, spent so many hours playing Tekken 6

[LOGICWINS]

It will be....via remote play!!!

[demonJAKAL]

Haha I mean fully playable not via remote play

[DxTrixterz]

Jin and Bryan be better in it or else grrrrrrrrrrr.

[Kurisu]

I skipped on Tekken Tag 2 for PS3 as I thought I'd wait for a Tekken 7 announcement...and here it is :D

[Hanso]

TTT2 is by far the best Tekken yet

[Kurisu]

Still might buy it yet!

[D3ATH_DRIV3R_777]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo!
this is my favorite fighting game right here, right next to blazeblue, guilty gear,
and king of fighters even though there 2D side scrollers.

[MasterCornholio]

Cool.

:)

[DJ]

Smart move. They really botched the Tekken series during the PS3 era.

[Hanso]

by releasing the best Tekken yet?
TTT2

[e-p-ayeaH]

lolwut tekken is better than ever

[DJ]

Oh I forgot about that one. Ok, everything leading up to TTT2, haha.

[mafiahajeri]

Best fighting game I the modern age!

[WheatBread]

BRING TEKKEN 7 TO THE PC

[MegaRay]

Gonna buy it day one

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Hope this gets a PC release.

[Skankinruby]

You know I've been a gamer since the 80s and tekken is one I've never played before, gonna have to try this one out

[DevilOgreFish]

“Not only is Unreal Engine 4 powerful and easy to use, but it allows us to easily bring Tekken 7 to any platform we desire.”

They should take advantage of the engine's native PC support, and make a PC version available.

[SINISTERGENESIS]

Can't freaking wait! The king of fighters has returned, man I've been waiting for it... Now all there is left to do is wait the unbearable wait and pray they keep the gameplay top notch. Please tone down the juggle combos and we will be golden!!!

[johny5]

Is there a trailer because the video won't play for me?

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Tekken 7 f yes!

[e-p-ayeaH]

im already excited!

its next gen it needs something new like battle rolaye arenas or a character creator.

[jhoward585]

I'm happy to hear Tekken 7 is coming to current gen console.
But I want a new virtual fighter too. Dang, whats wrong with you Sega.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Maybe Sega is working with Tecmo making a DOAvsVF game?

[jhoward585]

That would be awesome to make DOAvsVF for current gen console. The mixture of the two would make history. I also want a new bloody roar game too.

Oh, I expect nothing less than 60fps for all fighting games on current gen console.

[_cyrax]

NICE!!!

[GamersHeaven]

Hell yes :)

[kingPoS]

Please please please Namco... don't fug this up with DLC outfits items or characters, keep it pure! Don't do what Capcom does PLEASE!!! If there has to be dlc, let it be music, stages or even the character's opening & endings.

Don't fug it up!

Gateway MT6706 2008

[Revengeance]

I'm not the biggest Tekken fan but I'm still excited! OMG!

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Zafina in glorious 1080P and hopefully 60fps!!!!

[Tito08]

Fighting games, especially in the case of Tekken, have always being 60fps, so there's really no need to be worried about it.

[theshredded]

Tekken is my favorite!

[bladesofagony]

Exactly, Tekken is addictive

[darkesthour4]

Woooooooooo! Hopefully they make the fighting less about the bounds and more about technique

[kingPoS]

I now right... people just love to clown round in tekken just for laughs, never letting you touch the ground. lol I try to counter those bozo's with skill. Ahaha...!

Gateway MT6706 2008

[SugarSoSweet]

PLEASE DON'T BE CROSS GEN DIE CROSS GEN DIE

[Baka-akaB]

[DCfan]

Heh, funny, cause i was just searching for news regarding T7 this morning.

[Bytor]

I'll dream of Lili tonight.

[chazjamie]

[ELpork]

Heads up, the video was just gameplay from Tekken 6. Looking forward to seeing more, and perhaps comments on TXSF.

[GodGinrai]

I like seeing you guys talk about fighting games. I hope I run into some of you guys on tekken 7...Im going to beat you up on tekken 7. I am simply the superior gamer.

[Legendary-Status]

[GoodnessGreatness]

[NixonMonoxide]

Finslly!! My fave fighter has a new chapter.

I'll keep my eyes on it. Get rid of TTT2's mediocre customization & make costume variety even better than T6's

[Avalanche]

it still won't look as good as the "In game PS3 footage" from 2006

[bladesofagony]

Realistic Next-Gen Sweat you mean :)

[Legendary-Status]

Im so Happy Hope they add tag in it but other wise im happy about this

[Mitibisi96]

And for ps3 and xbox 360?

[Hanso]

next gen only or should i say current gen :)

[bladesofagony]

Surpised to see UE4 logo in the end. I bet the game would be phenomenon, I hope they retain the tag system.

Here is the link for the trailer
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[JasonRoseEh]

Hard to have any hyper for a trailer lacking gameplay at this point, particularly if it's a fighting game.

Guilty Gear in December, that's it.

[Tuet0ne]

Heres the storys trailer incase you guys missed it! https://www.youtube.com/wat... Looks awesome!!!

[Tuet0ne]

I hope all of the original characters make a return! Especially lei!
