Kikizo writes: The original Tekken was not only the first PlayStation game to sell a million copies, but it was also the first title in a series that for more than twelve years has helped define Sony's PlayStation brand. Later this year, the seventh instalment - Tekken 6 - will be released for the PlayStation 3, a console that would arguably benefit from some sort of definition.
Those hoping for a complete re-invention will be disappointed, while those just wanting more of the same but better will be very happy. These games are designed from the ground up to appeal to two distinct demographics; the hardcore and the casuals. They have to be accessible to newcomers and still have enough depth and lasting appeal to keep the more experienced gamers and veteran series fans hooked. After spending a lot of hours and a lot of hard earned cash playing the game, I'm happy to report that the game is everything Dark Resurrection was, and more.
In response the recent UK survey, which shows 1 in 5 Brits would have sex with a Robot - Rice Digital takes a look at the videogame robots they'd most like to sleep with.
Following its official release in other territories this autumn, The Ling Xiaoyu Bishoujo Statue is now officially available throughout Europe. The latest addition to the popular line of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Bishoujo Statues, Ling Xiaoyu is based on a new illustration by master Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
Following capoeira master Christie Monteiro is the second Tekken Bishoujo Statue, a new vision of Alisa Bosconovitch is now available at UK retail stores. An android with detachable limbs, this elite and beautiful fighter came onto the scene first in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion and appears here based on an illustration by renowned Japanese artist Shunya Yamashita, known for his videogame character designs and beautiful illustrations.
This is great to here. And in all honesty, most of these sequels only need one thing to be good. Great graphics. As long as some of these originals keep the core gameplay intact, I'll be more than happy to buy the next-gen version.
Also, the rage system sounds pretty cool as do the item moves. I'm just looking forward to see some of the crazy stuff they add on to the PS3 version.
controls great on the standard controller. This is the only fighting game where I can perform all the moves for each fighter without having trouble. I am very glad they have made only minor changes because for home console kung-fu Tekken is the best.
Tekken Dark Ressurection was great.
Before that both Tekken 4 and Tekken 3 on PS2 were great.
This should be no different.
I just hope the CGI rendered movies when you complete the level with each character is nice and long.
Namco have not dissapointed in the past, here is to another great edition to the Tekken library.
We also like the character creator and multiple fighting levels, nice to keep the game current with other titles supporting these features !!!
Tekken is a fighting series i have loved since the Playstation, the fact they haven't changed much over the years it what keeps me buying the games
Not a huge fighter gamer, but this and Soul Calibur (for Vader) are catching my eye. Hope it turns out well, wasn't a big fan of Virtua Fighter 5, my first next-gen fighting experience.
