1UP Preview:Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion (PS3)

1UP reports:

''What's the game about? This upcoming revision of Tekken 6 unashamedly perpetuates the series? established brand of 3D versus fighting (a looser, less technical affair than what?s offered by competitors Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur) while adding two new playable fighters to the fray. Bloodline Rebellion also sports several new stages, a host of new unlockable accessories to customize your characters with, and an updated graphical engine.''

If Namco make it multiplatform I will skip it

[TOO PAWNED]

its Namco bandai, you can be 99.9% sure that it will be multiplat.

[Silogon]

It's Multiplatform and that was part of the delay. They wanted to release it with the xbox 360 version, which will also be shown at TGS I bet. This game was 1st shown for ps3 like over 3 years ago and it's still not here, that means

1 - something's wrong in development

or

2 - They had to work on new code for a new system

[muddygamesite]

I really dont know why people are disagreeing with Silogon (well i have many times before), but in this case he is right. I have that sinking feeling Tekken 6 is a multiplatform title. Its the only reason why Namco-Bandai have bought themselves a whole year : To develop the xbox360 version aswell.

This is just my paranoid self speaking. I could be completely wrong.

[cmrbe]

if it dosen't go multi.

SC has been mulit for a while now and i don't see any reason for NB to not make tekken multi as well unless Sony pay for it to be exclusive which i highly doubt.

There is a chance though that Sony might pay considering that the history of Tekken and PS as well as the fact that Sony will not have a exclusive fighting franchise if Tekken goes multi.

We shall see but after DMC4,GTA4 and FF13. I doubt Tekken will be exclsuive this time around.

[Dacapn]

Multiplatform or not, I just want a release date on Street Fighter IV.

[ShinMaster]

If you have been keeping up to date with Tekken 6, you'll know it's not a development problem or different code.

Tekken 6 was released in arcades last year. BUT the game was not done.

The recent update, Bloodline Rebellion, was for the arcade.

So, in other words, Tekken 6 development is constant and will not have a PS3 release until it's reached its final form.

P.S. Tekken 6(arcade version) runs on PS3 hardware, which means there's nothing wrong with development.

Keep up man.

Tekken 6!!! I still play tekken tag tournament from time to time.....how sad lol

second game I got on the ps2 after kingdom hearts, so it hols a spesh place in my heart!

you know what, I think it would be great if it does go multi-plat, so far it's iffy iffy as to whether it will or not but if it does, more people playing tekken the better I say!

[PirateThom]

I got my PS2 at launch, that was one of the games I had. (along with Orphen: Scion of Sorcery - most underated game in the PS2 library? - and Ridge Racer V).

Awesome game.

[ShadowRyuX]

Tekken Tag Tournament was THE REASON I wanted a PS2, in fact after seeing the ad on tv beggin my mom for a PS2...Ah those were the days...

Anyways to be more on-topic, I am a little dissapointed but if they release it soon and improve it I'll forgive them.

[PikkonX]

While I also loved that commercial, I kind of hated seeing it since I knew that I wouldn't be able to find a PS2 or get my mom to buy me one at the price of $300 (would have never imagined I'd spend double that on a PS3). I got lucky when her tax refund came back though and I picked up Tekken along with Kessen.

[Skyyo]

Tekken is by far my favorite fighting game.

Eddy = ownage!!!

[cmrbe]

hehe. Jin in part 3 is the best by far. I wish i can play online to beat all of you with devil Jin.

[leila01]

Asuka, Lili = ownage ;)

I hope they'll announce a release date soon.

[man0fsteel]

LEI WULONG

enough said :p

[Wolf873]

I'm hearing mixed talks about it, so which is it?

[Blasphemy]

This game is PS3 only. Sony has some kind of deal with Namco ever since the first Tekken so slim chance this game will appear on any other console but a Playstation one.

[PirateThom]

Exclusive right now, there's rumours, but I doubt it, the arcade game runs on PS3 hardware.

[Skyyo]

the arcade uses PS3 hardware so i doubt it but with MS buying everything that isnt nailed down you never know

and you hear MS bought the nail making company = )

[Wolf873]

I truly hope that this one doesn't leave the Sony camp, but I'm more of a Mortal Kombat fan, though this series did entertain me for some time.

[cmrbe]

but it think it will go multi considering how NB have conducted themselves this gen as well as the fact that this game was shown off when the PS3 was unveiled but its still missing.

I doubt it takes 3 years to port this game. With the way MS works as well. I wouldn't be surprise at all.

[Blasphemy]

LOL how can people disagree with what I said. It's true Sony and Namco have had a deal every since the first Tekken was relesed on PSone. The game is always released on some form of the Playstation board in the arcades then it is later released on the home console that's the way it has always been that is why the series is always exclusive to the Playstation.

[Marceles]

lol the return of Dr. B? He was crazy, that would be awesome if it was true

[Blasphemy]

Nice but I wish they would just release this game already. I mean this game was in arcades before I even heard anything about Soul Calibur 4 but somehow that game got released before Tekken 6.

[air1]

she is frikin ugly...

[MAGNUM RAM SUPPORT]

I stake my life on it.

[Bathyj]

You cant play Tekken on XB. Its unnatural. Try doing Kings multi-stage moves on an XB controller. No thanks.

[NMC2007]

a controller can hinder your skills then you have no skills at all.
Skilled players can play Tekken with an N64 controller, unskilled players complain about controllers, that is the truth.

[Bathyj]

Really?, is that why XBoxers always whine that the DS3 doesn't have offset sticks for FPS's? Are your thumbs offset?, cause mine are symetrical.

PS
Dpad and buttons on the XB are no where near as good as the DS3. Some tools are better for certain jobs than others, and thats a fact. If you know any tradesmen, you can ask them.

HAHA Tekken on a N64 controller my arse. Good luck with that.

[DARKTRINITYxxx]

Im a PS3 owner and i wont be supprised if it goes multiplat after all this is Namco Bandai were talking about. But when Square Enix pulled that stunt with thier next FF game i was very shocked indeed.

[Peow]

I can't wait! Hworang or how ever you spell his name kicks ass! I just needed one button!(I was like... 10...[tekken 3])! SQUARE! SQUARE SQUARE SQUARE! SQUARE SQUARE SQUARE!... or was it triangle or x? I forget. Been too long :(

[Marceles]

Hwoarang is a kicker...so it's more like X X X X X! X O X O O O!

[Strife Lives]

I got every Tekken , 1 to 5 and lol even have Tekken on my psp lol this game,is why I need to buy a ps3 fast.Even if it goes multi,that 360 dpad wont cut it.

[Dragunov]

Dragunov owns. Anyone that thinks he can play tekken properly with a 360 controller... NOOB

[Tacki]

"''What's the game about? This upcoming revision of Tekken 6 unashamedly perpetuates the series? established brand of 3D versus fighting (a looser, less technical affair than what?s offered by competitors Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur)"

Less technical than Soul Calibur? Seriously? Soul Calibur is wayyyy more of a button masher if you ask me. Virtua Fighter is more technical I think. But it's more grounded in reality. And its characters have never really seemed to stand out.

I think Tekken and Virtua Fighter are great in their own ways though. I don't like Soul Calibur IV at all. Not that it's a bad game. I wouldn't knock it... but I don't feel it's technical enough.

[kyory12]

but we need 360 help we cant pay for what the wii made because the Gamecube was coming out wit tekken tag tournament and passed it to the ps2 so we need to get more $$$$ 2,000 dollars to 360 if they do that we might give the tekken 6 to 360 BUT we stay wit tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion if all the 360 fan agree send me a pm
