Tekken Tag Tournament 2 |OT| Awaiting the "Final Battle"

I'm not really sure where the disappointment is coming from, but pretty much everything announced at EVO has been a disappointment to people over the years, so whatever.

Tekken 7 Teaser for those who haven't seen the stream.
Well, I don't know what I expected. At least a new playable character confirmed?

The video title is:

アーケード「鉄拳7」トレイラー 英語版

That Translates to

Arcade "Tekken 7" Trailer Japan Version

according to google.

No mention of PS4 or Xbone in the video. As I expected.

EDIT: HARADA DON'T YOU DARE GIVE KAZUYA AN ENGLISH VOICE AGAIN

THIS.

Weird series of events that lead up to this announcement. Wonder if Harada was really going to announce T x SF, at first. During that pre-amble he gave, it almost seemed like he was ready to officially announce Tekken 7 AND something else. Ah well.

Oh, Google...

And here's the Japanese version.

Whatever.....bad reveal but eh.. IT'S TEKKEN 7 MAN. I'm happy that my favorite franchise is going on strong and getting a sequel. Ask fans of Shenume, TimeSplitters, etc. how they feel. If there hadn't been a prior leak, there would have been a lot of hype despite the fatal frame CG trailer.

I hope "final" doesn't mean final game in the series. Expecting an end to the Mishima drama and a new beginning with Tekken 8.

I will have Smash Bros. at the end of this year to hold me over before Tekken 7. :)

Unfortunately with SDCC being a very casual event I doubt they'll show anything worthwhile that I can analyze. Probably just gonna reveal Kazumi's bust size & other unimportant stuff for the casuals to swallow. I'm guessing we'll see some legitimate gameplay at TGS in September. But I hate being optimistic because if I'm wrong I'm going to be super sad :(

These are the things that the people need to know man! :p

Also, I can totally see someone wanting to drop a game like Guilty Gear just for one missing character. I'd certainly be much less interested if it didn't have Faust.

I want to play Guilty Gear other then ONE but they don't give a shit for EU to the point they didn't release the psn version on this continent. Lame. Xrd is a must have tough.


Regarding Tekken 7. Even if annoucment wasn't special I'm still extremely happy it's happening.
Also made TxSF officially a joke and a game that doesn't exist but if they're developing T7 instead then it's worth it. So long Tekken Ken. You had a good life in my imagination!

Also regarding T7 story it's like they're reading my mind. You guys know I've been longing for something like Tekken Zero that would show and explained Kazumi and everything. Seems they're digging into that. Cool.

Do you guys think Tekken 7 takes place in the past or past and future?
Will Kazumi be resurected as a boss?
Could Heihachi kill someone with devil gene 50 years ago when he was young?
Why Kazuya suddenly wants vengence for his mom?

Edit: Kazumi .

I think it'll take place in the past for Kazuki's story and in the present for the inevitable Kaz vs Hei showdown.
This might be pretty cool story wise. The last time I cared about Tekken's story was Tekken 4. Tekken 5 was okay and Tekken 6 was garbage in that regard.

Will Kazuki be resurected as a boss?

I don't think so, but you never know.

Could Heihachi kill someone with devil gene 50 years ago when he was young?

That would be pretty cool. Devil Heihachi! Make it happen, Harada :D

Why Kazuya suddenly wants vengence for his mom?

He learns the truth about his mom's death or anything really Shounen anime-like :p

Tekken 7 release will probably be pretty cool for me. Many of my friends don't have a PS3, but want to buy a PS4. A few of them were pretty good at Street Fighter, so they're not new to the fighting game genre and want to dedicate some time into learning the Tekken mechanics.
Would be so cool if I could get some cool Offline matches with friends!

Waking up today with a clear mind I now have to admit, this is the weakest reveal of a Tekken game in history:

Real talk, that CGI is pretty bootlegged. Quality of T4 ending CGI.

EDIT: NEVERMIND I forgot about this pathetic Tekken 6 reveal:

I had that T5 trailer on a demo disc. Watched it countless times and erased the bitter memory of T4 from my mind.

When do you think is the game going to be released? The T6 Trailer boutdown posted is from E3 2005, Tekken 6 was not released until 2009 (2008 in Arcades). I don't think we'll have to wait this long for Tekken 7. 2015 would be great, but I don't think that will happen :/

I guess that depends how far along the game is. The long trailer we'll be seeing at Comic Con hopefully will give us some gameplay but if it's just an extension of the teaser, mehhhh.

Sadly, I don't think we're going to see this game till 2016. 2015 though would be freaking awesome, even if it were the arcade, it would give some hope of a quick console release a year later.

I'm with you. In T4 they hired a professional writer and the story was good.

That would be pretty cool. Devil Heihachi! Make it happen, Harada :D

No, no. I meant to ask was Heihachi strong enough back then to kill someone having devil gene since he can't destroy Jin or Kazuya now. Or do we count Kazuya's volcano trip as his death?

He learns the truth about his mom's death or anything really Shounen anime-like :p

Yeah. "Oka-saaaan!" ;)

Good games UltWarrior1, sorry for bad play, my pad did opposite things I wanted. I don't know, lol. You are great tough! I have no experience with such good Bruce.

Source?? And yes the T4 story was phenomenal.

Lol the combo drops were frustrating and hilarious at the same time. Look forward to playing again, definitely!

Can the title for this thread be changed now? Wii U version is old news.

I don't think Shouta would mind changing it for us.

Any ideas?

TTT2 OT The wait for Tekken 7 begins.

Something like that except more creative?
Total asspull speculation:

I'm gonna say October 2014 arcade release and November 2015 console release.

PC release in March 2016.

This would be so AWESOME if it happened this way.

TTT Arcade: July 1999
T4 Arcade: July 2001
T5 Arcade: November 2004
T6 Arcade: November 2007
TTT2 Arcade: September 2011

Pretty consistent 3-4 years between games, with the exception being the 2 year gap after the last Tag game.

Historically, 2014 would make sense for T7. I'm doubtful due to the amount of work Tekken team is taking on at the moment, but I really hope so.

Tekken Popularity poll going on.

40% Lei, 60% Christie

49% Heihachi, 51% Lars

I told you guys... There's alot of reasons to be pessimistic about the next game...
 
Are there any top players that use Forest Law & Paul? I need to steal some tech
Gen1us and Chetchetty are the only two good Paul mains I can think of off the top of my head. I'd imagine a lot of good players have pocket Pauls, though.

Historically, 2014 would make sense for T7. I'm doubtful due to the amount of work Tekken team is taking on at the moment, but I really hope so.
The majority of Project Soul has probably been reabsorbed into the Tekken team like they were after SC4. I guess a few of them are still hanging around churning out dolly dressup updates and dumbing down the movelists for Lost Swords.
:(

Honestly, the release date concerns me. Pragmatically speaking, I say the home version should come out out around Fall 2015 and the arcade could come out early next year. Then again, the arcade release is basically what concerns me. I think the better it does in the arcades, the longer it will take to materialize on home consoles. Did I mention that I have no good arcades near me?

Will the game be as good as Tekken Tag 2? Well, I doubt it unfortunately, but I think it will be close to it and Namco has amazing talent, so we might be pleasantly surprised by their next offering. TTT2 is essentially a Tekken fanatics dream as far as content and gameplay goes.

I think bounds will return, less characters(40??), 1 on 1 again, slightly revised combo system, flashier moves/effects/etc, reworked animations and maybe they will make movement easier.
