I can't believe fucking Alisa got priority over Jin/Williams/Lei at a location test for a new Tekken game.

Legit salty right now.


Looks like they're not really trying to update the art style, welp. :|
Some of these look like they are pulled right out of T6/TTT2. However these are just renders... more interested in actual in-game models.

Nah no surprise he isn't ready yet after they were asking for look feedback.

Repeating from the other thread:

Looks like Tekken 7's new mechanics are basically:

1) Focus Attacks

2) Ultras

Huh, I never saw Heihachi and Kazuya's names spelled out before.
They both have a naming convention, and I would assume Jinpachi would be the same too.

I'm guessing Kazuya didn't name Jin.

All they had for the Arabic guy was concept art. I doubt they could complete him in time for the location tests.

Plus, Arab guy is still not confirmed to actually be in development. They just wanted opinions on the concept art.

What a nice way to ease into TKXSF. lol

Because supers were received so well for SCV.

Oh well, let's at least hope they aren't as bland looking, perhaps take cues from some of the camera angles 2.5D fighting games use during cinematic supers, if they are elaborate.
 
Damn

Tekken couldn't settle for SCV's EVO spot last year so they ran Maxi too. Stay free Soulcalibur.

Bring Taki and Kilik back, Harada

Supers were the least of SCV's problems. I'd be okay with them coming back as long as we don't get cutscenes.
 
look i know that lars origin are naruto anime, but i thought he would be a one time thing.

i mean shit, his hairdo makes guile's look sane.

Alissa i would say is more anime than lars, but i understand her appeal. moe robots! Lars is like the uncanny valley between never smiling mishimas and Gon.

I liked them :s

I don't think T7 has Focus attacks, looks more like standard armored moves.

But it definitely has an ultra like system. It combines Rage mechanic with Ultra.

Character model/art is the same, game barely looks better than T6. This game will NOT be pulling any casuals in unless there are other bigger changes to the core mechanics.

I think you're right on the first part. The problem is in regards to aesthetics and presentation. You could add x factor, assists and magneto to this game and it wouldn't change anything.

We don't even know if bound is in yet.

Calm down.

So long capoeira spam, lol.
Capoeira spam was done when they introduced universal low parries in TTT1.

I wonder if they made changes to the wake up and movement systems like they said they would.

We don't even know if bound is in yet.

Calm down.
What does Bound have to do with anything? I stated what the game is adding (Ultras and armored moves) and what it's retaining (same art style/presentation) then added that this game will not be pulling in the casuals.

What art direction can tekken go in now, that weird "anime/realism" is a weird space.

T4 introduced a significant change in character art and style. They then changed it with T5. Since T5 the art style has remained pretty much the same. I was expected some more radical changes in character designs but I guess not.


We've got video footage already?
There are screens of the game.

like i said, uncanny valley!

i remember playing tekken 3 and my grandfather seeing the ending FMVs that he had seen that movie and it that it was pretty good (he confused it for a war movie, try to guess the ending!)

With respect to art, at least the shitty hit effects might be gone, but you can't really tell decisively from the PDF. Definitely more particles.

I liked them
Most of them look soulless (no pun intended) and don't really add to the or belong in the combat system. Plus, it's pretty shitty that a game with supers has lame looking supers, they struggled to make them look cool IMO.
