Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, Akuma/Gouki announced as playable character

Coincidentally, was there any explanation as to why the graphics got such a big bump? It looks gorgeous. I'm just surprised given that one could assume the studio would be fine just sticking to what they've got going with UE4.

The current game exists in arcade

Harada a while ago mentioned graphical improvements, along with story stuff and other suprises. My guess being those redesigns and akuma and possible other fight streeters and some stuff we can't guess.
 
After so many years, Akuma is back to his old tricks of showing up as a cameo in other games. And now, not even games from the "right" company! :lol
 
This is hype as hell as long as he still releases as DLC in SF5. It hasn't been confirmed that he's only part of Tekken now, right? I really hope not.
 
God damn that trailer was hype as fuck. Akuma looks incredible, and dem graphics..HNNNNNNG.

All we need now is for them to have an extra unlockable scene where Heihachi is training Pikachu, obviously a joke movie, which ties it in to Pokken and I can die happy.

Well he certainly isn't going to be in the game in 2016. Maybe 2017.
 
I hope the people who will drop the game after a week will finally stop complaining about the graphics now.

They always made graphics/content/balance improvements for the console ready updated version.

TTT2 sold like shit on consoles.

And the arcade first business is a relic of the past. It makes sense for Asia but not for the other regions. The wait killed Tekken 6, Namco shipped millions and a lot of stock collected dust. I was gutted to see the Hoodie edition I bought a week before launch for 89, to be offered for 29. Just 3 or 4 weeks later. Tekken 6 mainly sold well from the bargain bin.

SFV dropped arcades and its coming along nicely, being tested via betas. Looks to become a balanced game and a huge success. They could always release an arcade version for Asia afterwards.

2 million copies isn't shit - for a spinoff of all things.

I've already spent almost what it is exchange rate wise $800 US playing vanilla Tekken 7 in the arcades here, I'd say the franchise is fine.

Dayum son.
 
hm, I guess this character is subtly being used as a springboard for that eventual txsf but the thing is he's still fighting like a street fighter character on the tekken engine. I thought they would make him fit in more with how fighting works in tekken, like the tekken characters did in sfxt.

Is this PS4 console exclusive?

at the moment, tekken 7 was officially announced only for Ps4 so far but chances are it'll come to the xbone and maybe even PC.
 
Legit fucking hyped and wow what a visual upgrade. I could be wrong but it looks like akuma is getting one of my favorite moves back..... punch/palm the floor then kaboom. Fuck yea.
 
HOLY COW! I went to bed yesterday (or more like today, was like 7am here) before the semifinals I think? Wanted to see the announcement but was too tired. I expected like, a new characer or something but a new version? And the dude in the doorway of previous trailers was fucking AKUMA? He's relevant to the story!? Holy shit. That trailer got me hyped as fuck. Updated graphics look dope too. Day 1.
 
He's not a guest character... He's part of the Tekken universe now. WTF?!?! This is the best news this month next to Xrd coming to PC.
 
2016 has tons of fighters, with Relevator, SFV, KOF14, and BB:CF, but no 3d fighter announcement yet.

I think Tekken 7 will make it in 2016 near the holiday season.
 
tekken is just a fan service series now right? nobody seems to take it seriously at competitive level

nevertheless, akuma looks awesome here
 
That trailer just solidifies this as a Fated Pre-order. I wasn't expecting Akuma, and certainly wasn't expecting his character's inclusion to have any story implications! Unexpected and exciting.
 
YO!

My favorite Street Fighter in Tekken!?

I've never played any of the Tekken games but now seems like a good time for me!
 
I'm not exactly excited to see Akuma playable in Tekken; my first reaction was mild bemusement. He does look good in the game and it's cool how they added him to the storyline. He's a shitty character though.

Graphics are great; I can't wait for the console release.
