My high optimism for Tekken 7 paid off. SO BEAUTIFUL! :)

I'm ready for 1v1 Tekken again. Really interested to see Claudio/Chloe's moveset since it seems to be pretty unique. Wondering if any other significant gameplay changes were made.
 
I...see...so they are reusing old stages...in a medley game that's celebrating everything about Tekken(like TTT) it fits...but...i dunno, i'm kind of used to new stages atleast in every numbered game.

..What? We don't even know if it actually is T5's Dragon's Nest and even if it is, this is the only returning stage we've seen so far.
And even TTT2 had more new stages than old.
 
Need some direct feed & in motion footage, but it's looking pretty nice. I wonder how many characters they plan to reveal, if there are only 20 starters.

They'll end up with around 35-38 characters. And more new characters are coming. Kasumi is the end boss, so I hope she'll be playable.
 
Some great shots, thank you. Wonder how long we'll have to wait until we find out who the time-release characters in the game will be?

I need Lee. <3
 
Looks like they made Lucky Chloe's face a little less uncanny. That design still drives me up the wall though.

Kazumi is the final boss in Tekken 7, her character intro pose has her entering the battle on a tiger then getting off.

Kazumi's pet tiger is her summon in the fight. After the intro, she can channel the pet into a projectile in the match.

She's just Regular Kazumi in the first round but then transforms like Unknown does in the 2nd Round.

Tekken 7 Kazumi has

- Mishima 1,1,2 & 1,2,2
- Tiger Summon Projectile
- Jinpachi u/f+3+4
- A move like Jinpachi's d/b+2,1
- No EWGF so far

There have been a report that Lee won't be in Tekken 7. The same with Wang Jinrei, Bruce Irvin, Armor King etc. But let's see.

Is this the full roster or are there unlockables? Or if I can be allowed to be direct with my question, where is my Jin? :(
 
Is this going to be the first Tekken game ever that ships without Nina? I know they're doing a beta launch first, but it doesn't seem like she will make the cut next week. :(

They better have a decent redesign for her.

Nina, Jin & Lei were all time release characters in Tekken 4, so this isn't their first time (assuming that they're time release in Tekken 7 also). The true surprise is Yoshimitsu not being in the default cast, as he has been in the default cast of all of the main Tekken games (Tekken 1-6, TTT1 & 2).

They are going to be doing time release characters over the coming months. Keeps things exciting and all. Expect significant additions.


It'd be cool if the unrevealed characters got Kazuya/Lars-level new outfits/designs. As it is, only Kazuya, Lars, Law, Hwoarang, and Xiaoyu got any changes at all, and the latter three were very minor things.

Oh good. Without Jin/Devil Jin I would have lost my mains. It did feel weird not to see them in a tekken game.
 
Guys, will Lee be in this?
 
This is bullshit, Hwoarang should wear his traditional Taekwondo outfit as default.

Also any chance of Baek being in the console versions?
 
Which is why I'm not at all excited for T7.

I miss the days when each Tekken felt different from the last, a breath of fresh air each time.

It's like they can't (or rather don't want) to exit the T5 bubble. This stagnation is pretty disappointing stuff honestly.

Yeah, this is really disappointing.

Don't get me wrong, the game looks great, but there doesn't seem to be any real changes from previous incarnations.
 
If there is rain on stages, I wonder how the water will interact with the skin/hair of the characters, if it does at all. I know the clothing will be affected since that was introduced in Tag 2.

To be honest, I don't think there's anything they can do to attract new players or rope lapsed players back, en masse. As disappointing as it is, the game has a "7" in its title: the reserved approach just makes sense. Don't invest too much into development and just continue to keep the dedicated base happy from here on out, and Tekken should remain a profitable franchise for at least another 5 years. There's no point in trying to reinvent the wheel. They should probably just consider Madden-style annualized updates at this point.

That said, the true disappointment is the vacuum present from no new IP from Namco's fighting game devs, period (outside, maybe, Pokken).
 
Shaheen looks pretty awesome in motion, with all his flowing clothes. His animations look really great too, it's too bad they re-use so much of previous games for older characters.
 
This game looks gorgeous. The 1.0 build looks stunning in motion (thanks for the .gifs) and I really hope we don't have to wait long to play it.

Also, look at all that room for unlocks. :)
 
Dat particles mang. Can't wait to play this at home. Here's hoping Namco gets smarter and doesn't wait a year to please Arcades that are nonexistent outside of Asia. Tekken 6 demand partially died down because of the long wait.

Mk went through dark ages where there games were either bad or too similar to previous entrees. Mk9 came out and brought back old players and brought in New players and ended up selling 4 million copies: more than any single tekken game has sold since t3.

Tekken can make a comeback, but there gonna have to innovate a lot. Drastic gameplay changes, redesigns, etc. The question is, will harada try? I know he was bit by T4, but so was ed boon with mk4 and literally every 3d mk in the ps2 era.
 
Some more gifs.

Different finisher.

Shaheen:
I wanna now what military uses this fighting style, I'll sing up.

That flip launcher is hilarious. Overall I like it, it's like "trick fighting".
