I guess I should come back in three days when people stop bitching about the graphics, yeah?

You had a million fucking videos to see how bad the graphics look.

I'm thinking the same thing. At least a day. I'm so sick. Meh.

QUOTES ON GRAPHICS:

"The underlying game is two years old and it shows"

"It has to be said, scenario campaign looks extremely dated and downright ugly"

the graphics, for me, is a technical issue. it has nothing to do with the game being 2 years old (as if to say more "advanced" fighting games have been released).

my virtua fighter 5 on 360 is crisp as fuck and looks gorgeous. that game is at least 2 years old. same with soul calibur 4: brilliant, clean graphics.

tekken 6 is bad, man. dark resurrection hd is far cleaner/higher res.

disclosure: i'm on an hdtv. maybe sd people cant see it.

I skipped Tekken 5 DR, so it was about time I got a new Tekken for this gen of consoles.

It's Tekken, all right. Still fun to play. Somehow, I connect better with these characters and moves than other fighting games.

Graphics are a bit underwhelming, but again, the best-looking Tekken I'd played up to now was Tekken 5 on PS2. I think about every other fighting game I've played this gen has T6 beat in the visuals department, but it's good enough and occasionally, quite nice.

Load times suck (installed on PS3).

Recycled animations and voice clips feel stale.

Scenario Campaign feels like a PSone game. And why am I hitting START four times to get through cutscenes just so I can play the next segment?

Namco's got some splainin' to do after the three-year wait.

Overall, I'm glad I got it (it's Tekken!), but I'm also glad I didn't pay 60 bucks.

Ok just booted up the game and have some initial impressions.

- I don't want to say the same thing you are all tired of hearing but the graphics do really give you an initial bad impression. Looks so dated! They arent TERRIBLE but don't look up to par with the stuff we have been receiving. Nothing deal breaking to me though.

- Announcer sounds too low to me, needs to be pumped up. Can't remember any music tracks yet that sounded memorable.

- Multi stages are meh.

- Gameplay is classic Tekken fun. I am by no means a Tekken player, I play these very casually. I enjoyed reliving old PS/PS2 memories.

Overall I'm having fun with it and am looking forward to getting some time with it to get the full experience. The gameplay is where its at, but I am honestly very surprised at how poor it looks.

This thread is starting to turn out to be like the KoF XII thread.

Stop bitching and play the game.

KoF XII is an unplayable turd other than a local game. Not even fair to compare the justified complaints on that BETA of a game to this.

Hmmmmmm next week ^_^. I need some more tekken players on my list once I get this game, who is down for some games? You'll probably rape me as I haven't seriously played Tekken since Tekken 2/3 but whatever..

lol @ people complaining about graphics.

The game looks amazing (360) and feels like Tekken. So I really don't know where the hate is coming from besides the online which isn't the best but works.

And wtf happen to Law's mustache?

I'm honestly not trying to pick on anyone, but how do some of you guys say this game looks amazing? It doesnt animate badly, but the graphics themselves are nowhere near what current gen stuff looks like.

Okay so where do you actually unlock openings/endings. I don't see a story mode anywhere... god i hope it's not that scenario thing...
 
I'm pretty confident now the general consensus is the game looks like shit. I'm still looking forward to playing it though since tekken is my favourite fighting game.

The load times are pretty awful on PS3. I don't know what it's loading that they take so long.
Is there no optional install?

I would recommend the game based on my time with it so far. Huge cast and it feels real good so far. The graphics are a downer but by no means do they ruin the gameplay and fun to be had.

Dont know about install on PS3.

Yes there is an install option. I did that right away. The game looks gorgeous. The motion blur on and off is like night and day. Keep that shit on. What i found weird is that you have to enable surround sound in the options for it to actually work.

Just played for 3 hours straight with a buddy of mine and we were having a blast. I love Tekken. :D

The game is awesome. It looks much better than VF5. Bitches leave.
the animation and motion blur are gorgeous, but it's resolution hurts it a lot

I'm really enjoying myself with this game. Not much a of Tekken guy before.

Awesome to hear about the optional install, is it 5gigs like all the previous games? I admit i havent seen the game much in high definition, it's hard to find decent videos of gameplay on the internet that resembles the actual output from it running natively on the PS3.

You have to enable surround sound to put motion blur on? what the hell?

What? No. If you have a 5.1 system it wont work unless you enable surround sound in the options menu. It's stereo by default.

For people interested in the wireless stick this is a pretty good thread.

stick up after work.

Okay my impressions. Now I'm decent at fighters but nowhere near tournament level so my opinion is definitely casual. That said I love this stick! I have a TE SFIV stick and that is godly but I really dig the smaller footprint on the stick and wireless is great.

The stick itself is probably on par with the Hori EX2 but the buttons are worlds better. Apparently according to the thread above modding isn't too much of an issue if you can solder.

All in all I'd rank this as the best non-TE or HRAP stick currently on the market and what it lacks in quality it makes up for in wireless capabilities. Great stick if you're not hardcore. OH and it runs perfectly with GGPO if you're into emulators...which is another point + in my book.

Since Tekken 5 PSP was my last tekken, the game looks really pretty to me. The game doesn't look bad at all, I just can't expect doa4/soul calibur 4 visuals for every fighting game

Can you unlock them for local? I thought the sheep stage is already an option locally, but I don't see the tomato one.



They're already unlocked in all modes, they're always random select only.

Are you looking at the profile stage select for your main menu? There you can select sheep but not tomato for some reason.

My favourite scene in Scenario Campaign was when Lars confronted Heihachi. He is such a pimp, catching a bullet with his teeth and pimping in Scandinavia!

The game looks fine, the problems lie in the scenario campaign (if they were going to keep the same controls why not have a side scrolling perspective? this shit is garbage) and the final boss, which is just ridiculous. But the fighting is great.

Seriously. I still can't finish arcade mode and I didn't find Seth or Alpha-152, to be that hard. And I never had any problems with Jinpachi. But Azazel is just a freaking joke. It's like Namco wanted to out-SNK, SNK.

SNK Boss Syndrome is over. Welcome Azazel Boss Syndrome.

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
Huh, really? I just played the arena for the first time, and cleared it on my first play-through with ease. Got a perfect on Azrael.

Okay so far, single player wise this is the worst Tekken to date. There's fucking church's chicken ads plastered in the game....

This game is beautiful, not sure whats with the complaints.
Only gripe is the resolution. Kinda makes the character look a bit too large.
Does anyone know if there are stages to unlock in versus mode or are they only available on random select?

Yep. One was "Church's chicken new location" or something on an abandoned building. Thought I was seeing things. Then I come across another building with two more ads, with actual pictures of chicken.....
