TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

So apparently Gamestop accepts old cell phone trade-ins...I wish I would have known sooner! Just got Tekken 7 basically for free. EARLY 2017 is finally here. Im so excited.
 
Since I noticed the gallery has pictures for purhcase, I've seen Devil Kazumi had an unreleased 16:9 key art. Here it's in 1920x1080 so you guys can use it as a wallpaper if you want :)

Naaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I'm pretty sure DOA is behind T7, Injustice, SFV and MK when it comes to profit lol. They're not shabby but these other games make more all-around.

DOA5 has 5 season passes. From DLC and the 7 ,million units it makes great money. Only MK and Injust ass sells more. It and Tekken have similar sales. But with DLC attach rate the game makes a great amount of money. You find me a game with 5 season passes that sell for over $80.
 
This is one of the only fighting games i've played (only really playing Soul Calibur and Super Smash in the past) and wow I really like it. I am very bad at the game and probably end up spamming more than doing combos, but I've been loving treasure battle, and the story was a lot of fun though I had to turn the difficulty down near the end.

My favorite characters so far are Lucky Chloe, Kazumi and Heihachi. I managed to reach 3rd Dan rank in treasure battle which I was pretty proud of. I didn't think i'd enjoy a 'pure' fighting game this much!

Tekken is a nice and polished product in most areas.
I really like it.

It just makes me really sad that they aren't going to put that kind of time and effort and love into a new Soul Calibur.

Can you actually show how much money these passes have made for the games? There's a reason I said all-around in my post. T7 for example, even with the vanilla launch it's been the most profitable Tekken in history of arcades and that only increased once they announced the FR update. Mind you that's before they even announced the console release date and the Season Pass in which it was said by someone at Bamco that the pass was reportedly doing well. That's far beyond what DOA is doing with it's Season Pass unless you can produce some numbers.

As for SFV, all we know from that front is that their DLC actually sells pretty well from a profit standpoint.

Overall though it appears it's like I said, DOA does well but you can't really compare it to the other big-league fighters when it comes to profit.

Man, Akuma makes treasure battles a snap. Had to stop after 50 though because my laptop was getting hot.
While I don't care for most customization I do plan on buying the unique set for characters who don't have a second default outfit such as Akuma or Yoshimitsu. Gonna take a long time though.

Uploaded part of a 40 game long set I had against Sixmachine's Eliza and my Shaheen. I showed the vid to my friend and he's like "Fuck it. Time to buy Tekken" :D

Didn't record all the games since it was my first time using nvidia's recording features and i didn't know how big the video files get

Sixmachine started winning matches towards the end of the set but i didn't record them though :(

Now...PS4 or PC

Let's see.

PS4 :

sub full HD
Broken online
Consequent input lag offline that adds to online delay
Abominable load times going beyond 30 seconds in a game that reloads everything even when you "rematch"
Film Grain and Chromatic aberration forced, hurting the image quality, with no way to turn them off

PC :

None of the above

:/

but you forgot Jukebox mode PS4 Exclusive, and Jin, Xiaoyu and King exclusive retro outfits!

Not enough to sway it though, I wish I had a good enough PC to run this....

During the tournament I played yesterday, I lost the first fight, but then win during the losers bracket and overall ended third, which surprised me as it was the first time playing online even.

But there was a match that was so fucking close every round. XD

Lost the first round both with little life left, after failed kick. Won the second one under tbe same circumstances. Third round ended in Double KO which tied it. And the final round won it again with nothing in life and with a kick in slow-mo even.

Oh, and focusing on Jin...again.
My main since Tekken 3. Though Miguel got a spot during the years and Shaheen in this game.

The amount of and pricing on that DOA DLC has always seemed crazy to me.
There are 3 pay scales one is standard which is team Ninja alone, then it;s collaberation where some goes to the partner, the last one is the Mai market u where snk gets a bigger cut I would assume. The character prices are pretty fine.

Can you actually show how much money these passes have made for the games? There's a reason I said all-around in my post.

Tekken 7 made more money because they raised the price to play it, I think they doubled it and added free rematches and from that they made more money from the same amount of people. As for DOA5 sales: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/01/1...s-free-play-version-hits-8-million-downloads/
Their free to play version has 8 million dlownloads and they have about 30% of people buying dlc.

They would not be making so much DLC and season passes if it was not profitable. This is Koei who are very good with their dlc margins.
 
Not sure when this became an opinion, but 720p is still "full" HD. It actually runs at 900p on PS4, which looks great on my downsampled 720 plasma.

The models in the customization mode do look blurry though, not sure why.

720p is HD

1080p is full HD

To your last part, it's because of the filters they added to the game. CA and film grain.

it's slightly below 900.
 
Hmm...even if I only want the game for offline local play PC is the way to go eh?

Also
i5 6500
16gb
1070

How will I do?

For offline Local play PS4 would be fine. yeah there's the little input lag, but unless you're a tournament player it shouldn't be a big deal at all.

And what was said early, the Jukebox mode and extra costumes are very nice

"Full HD" is just marketing BS, who cares. It still looks great on the base PS4.

Not sure about blaming CA and film grain for that, the models don't look blurry in any other mode I've seen.

With that PC you should, yea. I'm on a worse PC doing 1440p with a mix of medium and high. It is giving me the motivation I need to upgrade my GPU because looking at peoples screenshots, man this game looks crazy at 4K maxed.

?

We all know why T7's the most profitable Tekken in Tekken history. The reason doesn't change the fact that it is and it doesn't change the fact that the average time per person is the highest as well. Profit is profit.

As for DOA's sales, you haven't provided any stats towards how many people are actually buying these DLC packets and honestly, if it was as large as you're claiming then we'd have reports of that rather than reports towards how many people are downloading a free game. We know how many people have downloaded the game when it's free but actual DLC passes, there's really no proof towards their profit regardless of the company. That's more "well since that many people downloaded it and the passes are still coming out that means it's mega-profitable" than anything. You also brought up Injustice 2 and MK's DLC, what makes you sure that theirs sell a large amount and not SFV's DLC and Tekken's profit in general in comparison to DOA?

We gotta see some receipts towards the profit they're making off these DLC packets rather than saying "well they're still coming out right?" to make an assessment on this.

Similar setup, I'm doing 4k downsampled to 1080p, max settings and it runs smoothly. Only drops I saw was when I was installing a game in the background.

Such a pretty game.
