Burning hands no bound Tekken 6.

Thank you for this.

More of this instead of Soul Calibur? :/

I mean, from the looks of things it's a relatively low-budget sequel with lots of asset reuse, and that's fine, but I really hope the fact that we jumped from TTT2 -> Tekken 7 doesn't mean Soul Calibur has ceased to be a thing. :<

I doubt SC is dead, but I think Tekken has always come out ahead of SC in some sense, so don't be disappointed.

Tekken and Soul Calibur aren't made by the same teams, getting a new Tekken game has no affect on the continuation(or lack of) of the SC series.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Juggle complainers incoming

I would hope not, that's the foundation of Tekken.

 

[bumpkin]

Yep, looks like Tekken with more sparks.

I'd really have to see direct feed footage side-by-side with Tekken Tag 2 to see a difference, honestly. TT2 was pretty damn good looking. You have to wonder what exactly the extra hardware horsepower is being used for.

If we're lucky, we'll get to do that at the end of next year.

Yeah, we really need the game out in some timely manner on consoles. No more one year waits from the arcade release.

 

[Reedirect]

Asuka confirmed. All I needed to know.

 

[Basketball]

Looking at some of the customization items pictures here, some models are straight out of TTT2. They seem to be using a lot of place holders for now.

Spoiler

This is probably more exciting to me than anything shown

so far

Looks marginally better than a 5 year old game, the fuck?

It's getting agitating to repeat this because people can't be bothered to read the thread.

1. location test
2. blurry cam footage
3. Running at 50-60%

And game still looks way good.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

.

So, I guess same polygon count as the location test?

At least i hope for character sweat like NBA 2k and maybe minor bruises (not Mortal Kombat level :lol) as the battle progresses

Also getting your clothes dirty when you hit the ground or getting wet when you fall on water would be really cool

 

[Sayad]

Etc... Etc... Might cover the poly count too. ;p
Some characters might just be using TTT2's model now, can't get over how bad Paul outfit looks.

This was already in TTT2 so I'm expecting a better version of it in T7.

 

[MQX]

Wanted to post this on the other Tekken 7 thread(that has been closed -_-). So I'm going to post it here instead.

Have seen some gameplay(and the gifs ;P) and it looks really good(Harada did a good job with UE4 *notbad.jpg*). But I saw some lag in the game. Like there was some frame rate issue(the game looked slow than TT2 :/). I know it's still a alpha/beta version, so these problems are normal. But I hope it will be fixed on the final version. Also I'm not happy about the "Super" combo. I've realised that the "Super" combo moves(the moment when it's activated) looks the same as the "Super" combo moves on SFxT. Why Harada? :/ Tekken supposed to be different than SF. Why implementing things from SF? :X

 

[Nirolak]

Summer Lesson appears to have a lot of those kinds of lighting effects (subsurface scattering, skin shading) enabled if you're curious what it would look like in something closer to their art style: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=886397

 

[TheGuardian]

Funny that Harada mentions skin shading. UE 4.5 (coming out soon) is set to include some support for subsurface scattering and they (Epic) are apparently pushing to get higher quality character rendering in asap.

Yeah, the game currently has framerate issues. It'll be fixed so I'm not concerned about that.

As far as supers, I think they just need to tone down the damage. I'm fine with them being there but I also won't be upset if they're taken out.

Generally I'd assume that they're actually integrating all the updates as they come out since otherwise that defeats a fair amount of the point of licensing the engine.

It's true that some people license an engine and just never use the updates, but that's kind of an old model people tend to avoid now.

 

[joey_bone_bomb]

I'm not noticing much of difference besides it looking brighter


Edit: also just noticed your avatar, now your response makes sense

I'm not sure I understand what exactly you're trying to say.
What does my Nina Williams avatar from a spin-off game from 2005 have to do with my opinion of the visual fidelity of Tekken 7?

 

[Sayah]

@mod Can you un-close the location testing thread when the niconico streaming starts? Or maybe Wonkey can make a similar second thread.

 

[AAK]

Honestly, it's time to just start ignoring them. Let them have their drive by post.

One of the middleware providers I work with told me they once licensed their package to a Korean company working on a MMO. They took a single drop of the code and never took any kind of upgrade or contacted them again

Hey Sayah when does it start btw ?

 

[Village]

Awe man common there SHOULD NOT be bullet time during the combo's at least...

No its the best and it should stay.

Its like letting the cam play in in the EA Big street games, look at how crap you are.

Yeah, it certainly does happen. Since Namco listed working with Epic Japan though, I'm assuming they're actually trying to incorporate them.

I could definitely be wrong though.

I was just gonna say that the backgrounds look like a massive step up and all they have to really do is fix the skin.

 

[braves01]

I like the slow-mo for the killing blow, but I hope the sparks on normal hits get tuned down quite a bit.

I think this is what this game needs, I like all the visual flair. I think most people wont give a shit about it really soon. I love tekken but I have always wanted more visual flair with the moves.

 

[frogger]

Looks like Tekken.

 

[joey_bone_bomb]

Looks like Tekken.

Shocking. Tekken game looks like Tekken. Great post!

 

[Nintendojitsu]

I sure hope when the game is released on the home consoles that we can turn off the particle effects. They look like they cheapen the experience.

 

[Newboi]

Has there been any impressions thrown around about changes in the fighting engine/mechanics at all? I haven't been into Tekken since 5, so it looks a lot like Tekken 6 to me on the surface mechanically from what I've seen so far.

The lighting looks really awesome though. I'm extremely interested in what the final product will look like.

Overall, I'm hoping I'll enjoy this entry.

Edit: Seeing this makes me sad that we won't see Virtua Fighter 6 though.

Hey, as long as they're adjustable, I'm all for it. More options are usually a good thing. I just find it a little distracting personally, but it's a pretty minor complaint.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'll be doing now.

Hey Sayah when does it start btw ?

I'm not sure of exact time myself. But if you're in the Eastern time zone, it should be late at night.

One person in the previosu thread so he wasn't too fond of it due to frame rate issues, playing like Tekken Revolution and the Supers doing too much damage(which is silly when most raw supers tend to do shit loads of damage).

Thanks for the reply.

Wait, there are supers in Tekken? Do they require some sort of super bar, or are these just the character specific charge up moves that hit really hard and are unblockable?

Simple input done once your character is in rage. Has armor but you still take damage so you can get killed if your health is low enough.

and if it works like in T6 you can just deny peope their rage and super with combo adjustments.

 

[coldcrush]

I understand that this game is supposedly at 50% fidelity but the design, art direction and style looks super boring, they don't seem to have done anything different this time around. Its hardly surprising given the franchise but they should have tried to do something a little bit new to shake things up.

 

[k4n3]

its hard to tell from off screen video and i understand this is a very early build but to me it looks like a slightly upgraded tekken 6...

now when i saw guilty gear xrd even early shots i was blown away and said now thats a next gen fighter

 

[HeelPower]

I was just gonna say that the backgrounds look like a massive step up and all they have to really do is fix the skin.

Maybe they'll add NPCs and wildlife to the backgrounds.

It'll look wild,no doubt about that.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

It would make sense for Epic Japan to work closely with Namco since it's one of the first Japanese UE4 games, and they probably want it to be a good showcase for other companies.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

And it seems that rage starts at a lower point but given that damage is a bit lower too, idk.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Seems you receive only fraction of damage when hit in super state.

Also totally freezes opponent.

Unless this shows you can cancel hitstun into super. Would be too broken.

going through the atp episode for tekken 7... getting more hype

Dude just did the classic catch dudes throwing out moves with my super.

Looks like i'll stay with TTT2
