Tekken 6 confirmed for 360

Mega-news from Microsoft's TGS keynote: Tekken 6 will will release on 360 new autumn.

[Internet Trolling Ex]

We already knew this from the earlier news story,*Yawn*

[lnfinite]

Indeed

[razer]

No we didnt have it confirmed and now we do but at least you droids are handling it better than FF XIII. maybe you can make an internet video screaming about how the playstation brand made tekken what it is and how you are betrayed?

i love me some droid tears!

[CEO of Troll Corp]

Such old news

[Aquanox]

I have a hard time thinking of any Sony Executive yawning at this. Microsoft has secured every important 3rd party exclusive out there with the exception of Metal Gear Solid. This is the strawberry on top of the icecream.

[ravinshield]

bunch of playstation fa@@ets just lost another game.aint that great, whats next, hum let me see ,well ill let microsoft do the thinking.hahaaha

[tErabyte]

Already knew this from the gamespot leak

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Now droids, don't go postal and start kicking puppies because you lost another one. Just chill out and take in the A** the way you always do. Now get out on the street and ho yourself B**ches before this 360/pimp pimp slaps you. What did the five fingers say to the face?

[Agent002]

360 owners...don't you find it sad that you have all 3rd party titles and not one 1st party title?

You are getting Playstation leftovers.

Pathetic.

[Omegasyde]

"You are getting Playstation leftovers. "

Great way of saying it. In the end of day Sony will still have more exclusive titles and Microsoft will just have their exclusive...umm

Downloadable content.

I'd rather have a new exclusive game than extra stuff and isn't even free.

[Narutone66]

a few of my friends with a modded xbox 360 are going to just download this game off torrent sites. The reason why the 360 is selling well is that it is so easy to pirate their games.

[Insomnia_84]

what's the point of owning a 360 waiting and praying to a god that a PS3 exclusive becomes multiplatform? why not just get the PS3 and know that no matter what, you are getting more games. Why more games? because for every PS3 that goes multiplatform, there's another two exclusives being developed.

Looks like 360 owners really love the PS3 games, they got no money and end up getting a cheap console then get their fingers crossed to get a PS3 exclusive. You will get some, but then, miss a lot.

The best news out of a MS conference is that they are getting one PS3 exclusive, in the mean time, Sony has 9 new gamesto announce. Kind of sad for 360 owners.

[Capt CHAOS]

Time you woke up.

[NickIni]

Ahh, glorious fanboys.

Even if they don't like a game, and likely will never buy it, or maybe even play it, they still rave about it, just because the other console isn't getting it.

[Pain]

How else would they have shown what games they Bought this year again?

[Amsterdaam]

And while you biatches complain about exclusives, I will be playing ALL OF THEM.

You guys go to war devoted to a stupid corporation? WAKE UP! No corporation of any kind gives a piss about any of you!

They look at this mindless pile of drivel and just see $$$$$$$

What stupid tools you all are.

[SixTwoTwo]

I saw this coming from a mile away. Thank God we FINALLY get a release date.

Nov 09 PS3/X360

[original seed]

we will see

[KobeT24]

Tekken 6 or Tekken Bloodline Rebellion?

Oh wait Autumn 09? **** that. A year away? No thanks.

[El_Colombiano]

It doesn't really matter. At all. Its just Tekken. Not like its White Knight Stories.

[SixTwoTwo]

Probably Bloodline Rebellion

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Not a surprise. Now you people know why Namco take so much time to port it over to PS3, being the arcade version a PS3 like chip... Same release date for PS3 and 360.

MS do have any idea who they are hurting? Because Sony will not take half of the damage the costumers are taking (waiting a full year for a PS3 game just because MS has a metoo strategy...), they are potentially hurting they own, since many of those people will get only angry at MS and don't ever buy their consoles (I alone know 3 people that already stated things like this).

[Winter47th]

All I want, is Tekken, where it's ported doesn't matter.

[Omegasyde]

I agree.

Thanks Microsoft for delaying yet another game.

This is getting ridiculous.

Who has screwed Sony over more Namco or Square?

[mikeslemonade]

You guys have it it's a fighter that doesn't do anything new and it comes out more than a year later from now. PS3 is not hurting in exclusive department. It's just less exclusives from PS2 which is not bad.

[DARKKNIGHT]

A sh1tload of you guys disagreed with me and my beliefs towards M$ buying up games..

they are hurting and impeding the development of games. They literally are holding back gaming so they can monopolize it. In other words what theyre trying to do is control ALLL revenue by "dealing" themselves in. They figure if they can slow the ps3 down it can buy them more time. By them bribing devs, they are holding back devs from exploiting ps3 hardware in order to accomodate 360 capabilities. The fact that theyre going at this ip is proof that m$ is a little worried. m$ has dead or alive and plenty of other virtual fighterS. What else can M$ do to buy themselves more time?

Those that disagree are in denial.

[Omegasyde]

I completely agree.

People don't see the bigger picture. Instead of making exclusive games, they are buying exclusives away thus making PS3 users having to wait longer to play that game.

Sure more people get to expirience the game..but why can't they release the PS3 version already and work on the port then? Why delay the game, its not going to cannibalize sales since Virtua Fighter 5 still sold well when it came out on the 360?

I don't know who is the bigger douche bag, Namco for screwing its fans or Microsoft actively delaying the game to be launched at the same time?

[KillaManiac]

I am confused....didn't at Namco's early TGS event they announce Bloodline Rebellion would be PS3 exclusive?

So will this be a direct port from Current Arcade version?

[DARKKNIGHT]

if I made a list of everything i have mentioned in this board that has become 100% defacto.......it would be really weird. i dont post much... but i believe things of this nature should be discussed.

[vhero]

MS pay for exclusives to be shared between consoles like this but Namco said only earlier this week that Tekken 6 is not coming to consoles bloodlines is there is no mention of this. Also Namco said bloodlines is an exclusive which was announced this week they gonna go back on that within a week? I would take this with a pinch of salt.

[likedamaster]

I remember when ps3fanboys used to brag about this being an exclusive now they say, "the game is crap anyway". Funny, when it's exclusive to your console it's 'the best game ever', when its multiplatform,'its crap'. Funny how Call of Duty 4 is one of the best shooters ever on all platforms. Also, I think a monopoly is when you buy whole companies just so the other platform won't have any of those games. Buying exclusives for a time is not a monopoly. It's "smart investing".

[osamaq]

I love You Microsoft For choosing the better for us every time , MWaaa

[Sitdown]

I mean come on..your hate for Microsoft if just uncontrollable. Even if Microsoft did offer a bribe...guess what, Namco did not have to take it. How do you blame a company for trying to put themselves in a position to be successful as a gaming company? Again I say...Namco did not have to make this decision...but they did. Here is a thought...what if Namco looked at the sales of Soul Calibur 4....and thought, just maybe...we can reap the same benefits with a release of Tekken 6 on the ps3 and xbox 360.

[RemmM]

X Box 360 is just getting Tekken 6 while PS3 is getting the better version aka Tekken 6 Bloodline.

[Gam71]

so games haven't been delayed on the 360 because of the ps3? (gta4)

Funny how its ok when its because of the ps3 but not because of the 360.

Can someone confirm this has-
1. been delayed on the ps3 because of the 360. Last i heard it was quicker to make games on the 360 than the ps3.
2. this has been delayed in the first place.

When was it originally supposed to come out? If its what they've said i wouldn't say thats a delay.

[kingOVsticks]

does the PS3 even have any third party exclusives? I can't even say FF13 versus is exclusive anymore since M$ conference isn't over yet.This is getting ridicules its like everyone that is isn't sony and konami is taking their time out of their busy schedules to siht on the PS3 and its fanbase. I hear a lot of you PS3 fanboys saying "tekken sucks anyway" or "you can have it" get over yourselves you know damn well this is Bullsh1t.From my standpoint this isn't going to end until M$ graces over this gen from buying out third party games to make up for their weak 1st party studio.It won't even come out until late 2009 it should have came out a month ago.....I really like tekken and hearing this and FF13 being push back another year because of M$ is really disappointing. Oh well life goes on but dammit I didn't buy a 360 to play PS3 games that's what I have a PS3 for.

[Death]

I find it amusing that people think Tekken will drop next fall because there is an Xbox version. Can someone back this claim up with anything reputable? I know this will sound insane, but games are released at certain times throughout the year just like movies. They ship them at the time they think the market is best for. Perhaps Namco is waiting next year since they either a.) need more time or b.) will be bale to market it better with less high profile game releases or a better marketing budget. Some of you need to grow up if you honestly think games drop a week after they go gold. There is actually a business plan to this craziness.

-Death

[RemmM]

720 is coming..this is MS being desperate. But I'm not surprised.

[wallace1000]

So much hate in the world.

[blackbeld]

Doesn't matter to me. Still i gonna buy this game for PS3 cause FREE ONLINE battles. LOL

[Megatron08]

Its funny how sony fanboys say the MS is monopolizing and holding the gaming world back when that’s what sonys been doing for almost 15 years. The graphic power of the ps3 and 360 are very close. While the xbox1 was vastly superior to the ps2 yet games were mostly ported from the p2 to the xbox with no improvement and the 360 came out games were still being ported from the ps2 to the 360 with little improvements. When sony enter the gaming market they went out and bought out a lot of small gaming companies. They paid of 3rd party companies to drop nintendo and sega . They bought out gaming magazines companies they spent billions to try and monopolize the gaming industry and ran sega out of business if it was for the DS and wii the probably put Nintendo out of business too. So really all MS has done it even out the playing field and stop sony from becoming a monopoly. So MS is actually helping out the gaming industry a lot at this point.

[Scrooge]

Wow, just two days ago the Sony fanbase was excited about bloodlines. Now it's, "Tekken 6 sucks anyway." lol

[thebudgetgamer]

good games for all as long as it is of equal quality for both consoles im happy

its funny how some of you want the company you dont like to go out of business. do you really think micro soft would be selling consoles so cheep if sony had nopt started doing better or didnt exist at all.
come to think about it would there be an xbox if not for sonys sucsess
anyways i say game on and be happy:)

except for the damn sweeds i hate them so much

[jaysquared]

Another one bites the dust!

[redgaurd]

I love Teken and the more people who get to enjoy the game the better. However I don't like the fact that devs are aiming for parity in graphics. The ps3 in my opinion is the more powerful system and is capable of amazing things when the devs put their minds to the task of extracting the hidden power out of the system. The best results come from exclusives which is why I think I may save my money for an amazing exclusive. I am thinking of getting an xbox this christmas for gears and other exclusives. As this gen goes on (and this financial crisis) I am getting less interested in multiplat titles and am going to save my hard earned for exclusives, and a few must haves. What I am saying is that I don't want the same quality game on both systems because that would mean one version is not taking advantage of the extra power and we shouldn't settle for it. Money is too hard to come by these days. Both systems have their advantages and devs need to take these, and give us the best possible product on each system.

[Internet Trolling Ex]

When is sonys press conference,Im falling asleep over here

[kimi_maro30]

OCTOBER 9 Dude

[Lucas22]

will Microsoft announce everything today? Or do they have another conference

[rogimusprime]

about the way tekken plays, and you have to acknowledge the way the XBOX controller is set up pales in comparison to PS3. I have both systems and I have to say fighting games are just better on PS3.

I just hope this "me too" deal didn't delay the game. A year is a long time to wait for a what is basically an enhanced port of what the japanese have been playing for almost a YEAR already.

[madestar]

fudge it.. i rather ninja storm stay exclusive.. oh wait.. xbox 360 can't handle those graphics anyways.. but yeah big upset but hey.. i can swallow it.. tekken isn't a system seller as much as ninja storm.. fudge you microsoft.. it's coming to xbox 360 in autumn 09 anyways.. everyone will be done playing with it on the ps3.. go ahead and take the left over b**ches... suck on that

[alexM]

we knew this

since SC4 is on x360 as well

However Tekken 6 looks even worse than SC4

no one wants it exactly

yawn

[Homicide]

lmfao! So it begins...

[GameDev]

when a game goes multiplat, they have to lower the polygon count on the models, texture resolutions and size of maps so the 360's limited bandwidth can produce a decent framerate.

THIS IS WHY PS3 OWNERS lose interest in former exclusives. No one wants GIMPED titles.

[Charlie2688]

Interesting enough the announcement was barely a single mention :(

I was hoping for a full trailer or gameplay video...maybe even some in depth info on the console versions T.T

[tplarkin7]

It's only the very beginning. I'm sure there will be more info/video soon.

[lnfinite]

Hopefully they have More,thus Far,the Conference has been very Underwhelming

[demonddel]

NOW NOBODY DON'T WANT THE GAME THIS IS CRAZY BUT I GOT TO GIVE IT TO THESE SONY BOYS THEY ARE HILARIOUS I ALWAYS KNOW WHERE TO COME FOR A GOOD LAUGH

[Xheratuul]

fall 2009, the ps3 will already be 2nd in worldwide hardware sales. It is the truth and there are many facts i can think of.

[Lord Xire]

Ps3 doesn't outsell 360 each month by large deficits.

But let me give you an example.

If Sony was able to sell 20,000 More Ps3's then the 360 each month (which seems impossible) they wouldn't catch up until a total of 250months were to pass.

I don't know about you but Fall 2009 doesn't seem like 250months from now.

Even if they were to outsell 360 by 100,000units each month they would not catch up until 4years were to pass.

Those launch Ps3 rush days are over.

I did my math by assuming Ps3 Total Hardware: 16mil
X360 Total Hardware: 21mil
as of today.

Your facts are FAIL.

[karlostomy]

Yes, dude.

I have posted about ten of those calculations. Each and every time I got trampled by the SDF fanhorde.

What they don't realise is, your calculations are so spot on it's just not funny.

The ps3 cannot catch the 360 if the 360 keeps selling like it has lately.

And, since the price drop, my guess is it will just keep selling, building momentum at the most competitive price point the industry knows.

[Lucas22]

that's what i like about Microsoft they spend money to get 360 owners more games (ps3 owner)

[Mc Fadge]

Nice edit.

[silverchode]

at the cost of closing down studios?

[NegativeCreep427]

Exactly!!!

This is Microsoft's credo: Why the hell should we make anything worth playing ourselves when we can just pay off and steal any and all exclusives from our competitors?.

I personally don't care if Tekken 6 is headed for the xbox 360, as long as it is still headed for the PS3 without any exclusive DLC being stolen by Microsoft.

[ngg12345]

This is just a fanboy win for xbox 360. No impact at all (seeing how this game will sell like 600,000 total). It really makes sense that the game is multiplat thoguh. SC4 sales werent as great as SC2, or SC1 selling like 600,000 on xbox 360/ps3. So I don't expect Tekken to do any better.

[Omegasyde]

You do realise that this game is ready to pop on a blu-ray at anytime right?

Now PS3 users will suffer because the game will be released at the same time despite the damn arcade running on PS3 technology.

I don't mind more people being able to play the game but damn why should ps3 owners have to wait?

Thanks Microsoft for screwing PS3 users out of FF13 and now Tekken 6, you owe me 6 additional months.

[rhood022]

@Lucas

While MS is spending the money to get former Sony exclusive franchises, Sony is created a myriad of new franchises while maintaining those older series.

[Fox01]

who cares, at this rate, Sony's game division will have to close just after or before the PS4 release. Either they do that or they'll close all studios...

[leila01]

why would you be happy for Sony to fail? From a gamers perspective that just sounds weird. Did the president of Sony slap your mom or something? I, on the other hand, wish for all of the big 3 to enjoy success so they can release more quality games for all to enjoy.

PS3 gamers, the game isn't exclusive to the 360, you still get to play it, so really who cares if it's a multi?

[wallace1000]

Good post leila01. Some people just seem to want one console to kick ass and the rest to fail. 3 consoles with good games and doing well is good because then there is healthy competition. A lack of competition is very very bad for the consumer.

[wallace1000]

If you disagree then you are a perfect candidate for economics 101. 1st University will show you the light.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Yeah, too bad they don't spend any of that money on making some games worth playing. Oh yeah,, and last I heard the ps3 is the best for fighters.

[v1c1ous]

you heard the ps3 controller was best because of dpad, but the inevitable arcade joystick that will probably be made will make that point moot. LOL damage control.

[Omegasyde]

yea because everyone buys a 50 dollar arcade stick to go with thier 60 dollar arcade game.

Wait make that two arcade sticks to go with their purchase. That's over 100 dollars. That doesn't justify the average gamer buying these.

Vicous by your logic everyone will purchase a 100 dollar racing wheel for games like forza, PG, and gran tourismo right? Best controls right? ......

[Final_Rpg]

Well V1c1ous, if that is the case then I guess there can be no debate in which controller is better or worse. Why? I can just go out and buy a 3rd party controller or use a mouse and keyboard for games that support it.

In other words, your argument is a piece of crap.

[Blakzhuk]

Dualshock 3 = $60

PWNED!

[MetalProxy]

Sigh...xbox 360 controller $50,plus charge kit $20 = $70 before tax

[na2ru1]

ANOTHER $50 for that new 360 D-PAD

[Death]

Dualshock 3 is $54.99 U.S. and the Xbox 360 controller is $49.99 or $64.99 for the controller with an included Play and Charge kit. Is this really worth arguing about? The better controller is the one you are used to. Both controllers have the same button layout making neither "better" for fighters. The last controller that was "better" was the Sega Genesis controller that had 6 face buttons that were layed out like an arcade controller. Since that time, the layout hasn't been reproduced in a console controller.

-Death

[Darrius Cole]

I wholeheartedly disagree. The problem with the 360 controller is not the button layout (although the shoulder bumpers do stretch your hand out a bit). The problem with the 360 controller is the d-pad. It is the most imprecise controller I have ever used. The 360 pad is notorious for registering the wrong directions, in fighting games that is death.

In a shooter enter the commands 66(button) is not that different from entering the command 63(button), or 36(button), or even 33(button), because the directions control where your character is stepping and there is enough margin of error to correct yourself.

In fighters commands 66(button), 63(button), 36(button) and 33(button) are all light-years different. 66punch may be a quick attack that sets you up to cause follow damage, whereas 63punch can be a slow-executing attack that won't connect and leaves you open to take damage yourself.

Said more simply, the 360 d-pad changes opportunities for you to damage your opponents into opportunities for your opponent to damage you.

It is the worst d-pad on the market today.

[juuken]

Knew it was coming.
And still getting it for the PS3. :3

[na2ru1]

until yesterday when i started doubting it again after BR article lol.

[jack who]

ownedddddddddddddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd dddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[silverchode]

i agree microsoft will get owned.

[juuken]

Lmfao, you haven't seen ownage yet.

jackwho: I know for sure you can't have 1st party! ^__^

[jack who]

i agreee wat other game we gona take from ya? hmmm?

[kimi_maro30]

they need to steal to have a game

[razer]

(borat voice) "very nice!"

This is Tekken 6 Bloodlines I assume since the other is just for arcades?

November of 09 though is a long way away.

[thereapersson]

Suddenly Razer cares about the Tekken series. Give me a break!

[bigshynepo]

Thanks for ruining the gaming scene with money. This game would've been out when the Arcade cabinet dropped if it wasn't for this exclusive deal we were all smelling a mile away.

*yawn* Still waiting for a game changer, Microsoft.

[Foxx77]

Hmm... Not really but I don't see this being a giant move. I don't see Tekken as some massive game or exclusive especially here in America but time will tell.

[batman2million]

dang

[jackdoe]

Mega news? Not really. Pleasant news for 360 owners who are Tekken fans and devastating news for hardcore PS3 fanboys/gloatworthy news for hardcore 360 fanboys, yes.

[we_luv_akuma]

sonyfanboys spechless lmao

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

We have many words to say about this.

We'd just prefer not to have you boasting about multi-platform games when we have a fantastic Holiday line-up to play with. Don't ruin our good time, man.

[juuken]

Some knew it was coming. :]

No need to gloat.

[v1c1ous]

you just posted that 360 getting tekken sucks.

sorry, any hint of equality and logic you had was immediately shot down by your own hand :(

[DreamcastFanboy]

Not really...

[Final_Rpg]

That's because there are no PS3 fanboys on N4G, just PS3 owners. No wonder they are speechless! They are non-existent.

[etownone]

hahahahahhaha
hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha

PS3 gets PWNED once again... DAMN!!!

I can only assume the 360 will be the superior version as always... remember VF5? hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah a

[silverchode]

your excited for a multiplatform game and you brag about.

[etownone]

no, because the 360 gets yet ANOTHER exclusive from Sony!!

DAMN!!!!

[kimi_maro30]

so u really love sony's exclusive poor etownone

[Torch]

"your excited for a multiplatform game and you brag about."

Makes sense, if you think about it. Like the old saying goes:

"When all else fails: Lower your standards."

And that's exactly what they're compelled to do at this point.

Just ignore these guys and let them continue to ignorantly swim against the inevitably drowning current, and let's just enjoy our non-stop avalanche of stellar first-party PS3 titles in blissful peace and harmony.

These clowns are nothing but noise, man...nothing but noise! ;D

Pathetic.

"your excited for a multiplatform game and you brag about".

why not. wasn't you guys excited about bioshock coming to the ps3. until you found out that the graphic and textures don't match that of the p.c or 360 version.

@kimi_maro30
Ms didn't steal anything. if sonyfanboy would get off their @sses and go buy games instead of troiling threads trying to convince the world that ps3 is the best. this wouldn't happen. or better yet. tell sony to open their wallets and start helping these dev's make games.

[Stryfeno2]

*YAWN* I already knew this months ago.

I told Juuken that I couldnt wait to play Tekken 6 on my 360. She wouldnt believe me.

Kingdom Hearts 3 come on home baby!!!!

[razer]

hahaha! yup KH come on down!

@juuken: okay i will.. naynaynaynay! okay i am done now. you are right sony i'm sure has a lot of stuff to announce. you even have tecmo making an exclusive and that just pisses me right off.

[juuken]

Good for you. :)
PS3 owners get to play it as well.
I'm still getting it for the PS3.

Gloat while you still can.

[Stryfeno2]

Naw, I not the type to rub it in....Anyway, I hope Sony have some good news for you.

[gambare]

nah, I was hoping for some good news for the 360 owners and you only gained a multiplat game, no more exclusives, no more good games for the 360, shame

[kimi_maro30]

the creator of kh is a sony fanboy so keep on dreaming razer

[PopEmUp]

360 next generation of exclusive is Called Multiplatform so there bunch of exclusive for them to enjoy, but the thing is we PS3 owners also get to enjoy their exclusive so what are you waiting for? Keep those exclusive rolling for the 360 cause we're gonna enjoy it as well :D

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

That actually really sucks.

[Bladestar]

lol! I guess Sony lost their biggest strength that helped them dominate previous generations: 3rd party exclusive support. Sony fan's are running out of things to brag...

Edit:
@silverchode - please explain? are you saying that 3rd party didn't help Sony dominate with the PS1 and PS2? That they are practically not losing or lost most of the big 3rd party games that sold huge on the PS1 and PS2?

[silverchode]

not really.

[Sarcasm]

Yeah they lost the 3rd party support. But in turn, the really amped up their 1st party studio games. Which to Sony fans should be a blessing. Because it's comforting to know that 1st party games won't suffer from being a half attempted port.

[juuken]

1st party.

That's what sells consoles, not 3rd party. Microsoft can snag all the 3rd party titles they want, but that only makes 1st party games stronger. :)

[Omegasyde]

HOW CAN THEY LOSE THIRD PARTY SUPPORT WHEN THE SAME GAME IS STILL COMING OUT ON THE PS3????????

Don't get insulted, but is your job devoted to spreading ignorance?

[Sarcasm]

@14.4

Actually you're right, I should have rephrased it to losing "Exclusive" 3rd party support.

So far this generation, this whole "console war" thing is more like a volley ball game. Sony gets this, then MS comes out with that.

Some analysts were right in predicting that there isn't going to be "one" console, but instead. All of them are going to co-exist.

If you think about it, either way with a PS3 or 360. You'll get exclusive stuff from both sides of the fence and enjoy what each one will offer. Now it just depends on what kind of gamer you are. I know a lot of people who just aren't interested in anything Playstation related. They don't like god of war, gran turismo, tekken, so on and so forth.

And it's also vice versa where nothing on the xbox really interests them.

So basically anybody who says the 360 will die, is being ignorant. And anybody who says the PS3 will die, is just as ignorant.

My prediction, both are going to stay for a long time. Especially the 360 is now the king of RPGs (so far). But the PS brand is still giving a lot of variety as well.

[Omegasyde]

My bad Sarcasm that comment above was for Bladestar.

And you are absolutely right.

I think Sony has the edge however with going with a variety of different things instead of focusing on just one demographic of gamers.

In my personal Opinion Microsoft should save some money and open up another 1st party developer and create something NEW.

There are enough JRPG as of now, and they should be going after other genre's like TPS's, action games, puzzle games, or family oriented games besides Scene -it and Lips.

In all honest Microsoft isn't beating Sony at their own game still, which is releasing innovative titles. They are just copying what sony did with the PS2. Only time will tell however.

[SkyGamer]

I do agree with you omega. I think first party is where its at. Just because MS shuts down there internal studios does that mean that they don't have first party games? You really think that if Gearbox made Halo 4 that just because Gearbox also publishes for other platforms that Halo 4 would go multi-platform? I think not. Just because internal studios don't exist does not mean that MS doesn't own a long list of IP. Instead of them doing it, they have someone else. Sometimes there are way more talented developers than the ones in-house.

Also how many of those original IP's are going to be a hit? How many of those titles are going to sink quicker than the titanic? There is always a risk in making new games. Just look at the Xbox. It HAD to make new games and how many of them panned out? Personally I think that heavenly sword developer Ninja Theory's Kung-Fu Chaos was a great game but did it sell well? MS was an idiot to turn down heavenly sword in the first place. That game looks cool.

[likedamaster]

So it was Ratchet & Clank that sold ps2's when sales slumped and not GTA? Sure you're right.

[Blakzhuk]

Tell that to the millions that bought a PS2 for GTA3.

[rebirthofcaos]

MAN the conference at the momment is crap and boring as hell

[dp_simbol]

it's like taking exclusive game from a baby...uwah ahahahah uwah
another yipee kai yei for microsoft

[Bladestar]

New xbox live experience was just confirmed to November 19th!

[Sarcasm]

As much as I like the new features coming for the 360. I hate the phrase "New Xbox Experience." because it sounds like a stupid marketing phrase.

[Bladestar]

You don't have to disagree with me... that's how microsoft is referring to it? was I suppose to make a new name?

[Sarcasm]

oh I know, nothing towards you. I was just sayin about MS using that term.

[Aquanox]

Come on, with all the support Namco has been giving to MIcrosoft it would've been impossible to think of an exclusive Tekken 6.

Excellent news whatsoever, Microsoft keynotes always have some megatons here and there.

[Sarcasm]

Nobody should be really surprised on this one. Many people, even hardcore ps3 fans called this one. But hey this is a great fighting series, which I prefer over Soul Caliber (overrated IMO) so everybody wins!

Now I just have to find a 3rd party 360 controller that has a good d-pad.

[Final_Rpg]

Soul Calibur 1 and 2 were awesome, Soul calibur 3 was just a rehash of 2. I didn't buy Soul Calibur 4 as I wasn't that impressed by what has been shown, looks like it plays too closely to the old ones.

I'm a big fan of the Tekken series, I love the story of that game. Has anyone seen the Tekken(anime) movie? It's awesome. I was looking forward to Tekken back before I had a console back in 2005-6 area. I had that awesomely detailed Jin picture as my background where you can see all the pores, moisture and fine hairs on his skin. 3 years later I'd have to say I'm starting to lose interest... It's just taken way too long... I'll still buy it since I lack any decent arcade fighters on my PS3, I just hope that they keep a decent story up and keep it the technical showcase it's always been. The game has been out so long, it's going to seem a little dated when it's finally released on consoles.

[Glad to be a gamer]

So if your wanting a new pad with a solid functioning dpad id wait for this.

The dpad now is usable(i play vf4/SCIV)with it but there are the few odd ocassions where diagonal inputs aren't pulled off.

But i guess ive got used to it either way ill be getting a new pad when this is released.

Every little helps when it comes to smashing it up online. : )

[cmrbe]

i knew it would happen eventually. let me say this again. 3rd party exclusives is virtually dead this gen. This is the reason why Sony has invested alot in 1st and 2nd parties this gen.

No way Namco would not realease it on the x360 with the success they had with SC on both.

[JD_Shadow]

...why is it that it's ONLY PS3 exclusives that become multiplatform? Why can't there be a 360 exclusive that goes multi to make up for it?

C'mon, devs, if this is what you're going to do to your third party system-specific titles, at least have it work both ways and make it a fair fight. You can't just refuse to sign any NDA Sony hands you while you sign every fvcking NDA MS wants you to just because you can! Give us a shocker and NOT take MS's money and let something like SO4 become multiplat. SOMETHING to tell us you're not using that logic towards PS3 exclusives.

[Blakzhuk]

Tekken 6 was never exclusive to begin with.

Bioshock went to PS3.

You just got PWNED!

[dp_simbol]

Actually I already knew that tekken 6 will come to 360 since the rumor started. Now, there's no reason to buy ps3, microsft give me some high five, loyalty does'nt matter at all

[PirateThom]

Yeah, apart from, you know, all the games.

[NegativeCreep427]

Tekken is the biggest deal-breaker of all time. Little Big Planet, Socom: Confrontation, Killzone 2, White Knight Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII Versus, Resistance 2, The future of Jak and Daxter and Uncharted 2, as well as any and all future Playstation I.P's pail in comparison to Tekken...*Sarcasm Over*...Dumba$$.

[Xheratuul]

i think they are going to get the arcade version because it did not said Bloodline Rebellion.

[incogneato]

end of 2009 release date? by that time there will be tons of better games to play no one will even care about this. they took way too long. plus tekken is one of the worst fighters ever created.

[skyblu562]

lets face it the ps3 have no more great exclusive third party titles

[Erotic Sheep]

Correct.. it's called FIRST party exclusives which thank god Sony still has tons.

[kewlkat007]

I seen this coming a while back..

Regardless, Devs can no longer to ignore the Xbox 360 with it's base..

Another PS Franchise gone..

FACT.

[Glad to be a gamer]

Just to let you know that Ms are releasing a new 360 controller with a reconfigured d-pad for the release of Pes 2009.

This should finally fix the one problem i think the 360 pad has and even though ive kinda got used to the pad as it is needless to say ill puicking one up when there released i need all the help i can get with SCIV/VF5 online : ).

[v1c1ous]

and sony fanboys can finally start bashing the game as "it wasn't that good anyways *now that it's no longer exclusive*"

can we ALL agree the tekken series has been Meh since teken 4?

[Sarcasm]

It's not necessarily that Tekken is "bad" per say. But rather suffers from being the same over and over again.

But hardcore Tekken fans really couldn't care less. It could be the same but with upgraded visuals is more than they want.

[cmrbe]

Tekken is the best fighter. Part 4 is the worst. Part 3 is the best with Part 5 in second place.

Regardless of consoles its on Tekken imo will always be the best.

[jackdoe]

Street Fighter has always been my favorite, but gotta love those one hit kill combos in Tekken.

[kewlkat007]

but that's just me, I slaughtered that game Day and Night.

[NegativeCreep427]

I just care if any or all DLC for Tekken 6 will also be released on the PSN without Microsoft relying on selfish-market tactics.

"and sony fanboys can finally start bashing the game as "it wasn't that good anyways *now that it's no longer exclusive*"

Yeah, just like all you 360 phanboys saying that Bioshock wasn't worthy of a Game Of The Year credential either after it was announced it would be released on the PS3, right???

[DaDarkKnight]

To me the best one was tekken tag lol

[likedamaster]

It's yet to see a nextgen release. I'm curious to see how it will end up looking and playing.

[Dacapn]

Gimme a damn release date on Street Fighter IV! I could care less if tekken goes to 360 or DS. There's only one fighting game I've got my sights on, so I'm not about to settle and go out and buy tekken, SC4, or Virtua Fighter.

[cr33ping_death]

most people arent surprised. even i saw this coming and i love Tekken. only difference..... youll have to buy an arcade stick to play it on the 360's crappy dpad.

[MvmntInGrn]

Ok, I am not a Tekken fan (fighting games in general). Not surprising really.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

All the droids "yawn" and "I don't care" or "old news" or "I'm bored" HAHA all just to cover up the fact that they are screeming inside (or outside) throwing controllers or in this case "mice" LOL they all probably look like this video below. Ok so the droids just have like what, one more left?

[CEO of Troll Corp]

Is everything alright my sugarplum

[Stryfeno2]

LMAO

[cr33ping_death]

trolls will be trolls. its funny how people get upset over the fact that no one is upset. the extreme xbots are funny :)

[Fox01]

Funny as hell Jason.

[badkolo]

ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tako2000]

Nov. 09?

I don't mind it goes to X360 (since it hardly mention its an exclusive), but Nov. 09???

Just release TK6 first then BR as dlc!!!!

[jackdoe]

One year from now... Yeah, real smart. Around the same time that FFXIII is supposed to launch in Japan. Anyways, my guess is that they were sitting on their hands and are only starting to port it to consoles now, or they are horribly mismanaged.

[NegativeCreep427]

At the very least 12 1/2 months away???

Why don't they just pull a Konami and release Tekken 6 before the end of this year and then just release an extended version of Tekken 6 around the fall of next year???

[pain777pas]

I officially think M$ is a bully. I don't really care anyway their not getting anymore of my money I'm done with the 360 after gears 2. Then again i want ME2 if its not a multiplat.

[cmrbe]

i think this is the only game MS didn't pay for.

[jackdoe]

Too true. Namco Bandai, day one dlc to unlock stuff already on the disc. $15 for 15 tracks.

[Charlie2688]

Judging but how low key was the enouncement in the whole conference...probably

I guess its the effect of the good sales of SC4 as a multiplat

[cmrbe]

It really hard to imagine Namco not releasing Tekken on the x360 with the recent success of SC4 as well as other games which Namco has supported the x360. I really do believe this move was from Namco themselves wanting a bigger market for their game.

The only way for this game to remain exclusive was for Sony to pay for it which they hardly or never do anyone for any game.

[jonboi24]

WOW, by the time this game is released Street Tighter 4 and Tatsunoko vs Capcom will have taken over the fighting game scene. Seriously love Tekken but the release date is just way to far off for me to care. Seriously an F'n year just to play this on a console. They should at least release Tekken 6 for F*** sakes and have Bloodline Rebelion as an expansion and available on DVD/Blu-Ray.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Though I am upset it will be multi platform..but I blame Sony for not trying to make it exclusive...They are getting way to arrogant..personally it will be better on the ps3 just cause of the D-Pad yet thats is only a small problem for a giant

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Well other than the extreem denial in this thread, this is another score for 360 owners. This should go well in 360 collectons like RE4, DMC4, VF5, FF13 or the next Kingdom Hearts or MGS5. I have played every arcade version of this game at the movie theater near my home.

[Gr81]

Another once Sony exclusive going to the 360...

[psiom]

coming a mile away.

It's good news for the 360, and I doubt it's going to burn any die hard Sony fans too badly. I have tekken 5 on PS3, and for the brilliant and well-priced game that it is, the players are very very few.

It's been long forgotten (5DR), so Tekken 6 being essentially the same old tekken, it would never have been a big hit as a PS3 exclusive.

I had a game of it at the arcades in Tokyo earlier this year. It's still Tekken.

[lowcarb]

About freaking time! This is a fighter thats been well overdue to showcase on the box...Way to go Micro now keep pulling them in.

[nieto2]

this is just another game that was made multi-plat thanks to MS but Sony's now working into bringing real exclusives. so this doesn't matter anymore, it's not like we're not gonna get Tekken 6 too you know. ;-p

besides Dead or Alive > Tekken

[kimi_maro30]

so 360 is only good for multiplatforms and ps3 is good for exclusives

[karlostomy]

360 is good for all multiplats
360 is good for all 360 exclusives

ps3 is good for MGS4

fixed!

[GameDev]

3fixme = good for last gen cookie cutter ms code jockey games

PS3 = good for cutting edge, you better know your code inside and out TRUE developers

[poopsack]

check out how tekken 6 all of a sudden turns into that really important exclusive, you know, like FFX111 turned into a really important one when it was announced multi plat. but before that, no one really cared.

[tErabyte]

The ps3 only owners appear not to be bothered,whilst the xbox only owners appear to be a bit upset that the ps3 only owners arent bothered lol

[Torch]

Indeed.

OFF TOPIC:
Bubbles for using the word, "whilst". ;)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Because we read these peoples comments everyday and we know that it is BS. This is a case of the "whatever copout" because when peoples backs are against the wall and have no place to go, they say "Whatever I dont care anyway" besides if they are so "bored" and "don't care", then why are they here?

[karlostomy]

It is amusing .... to read comments of feigned indifference from the sdf.

Come now guys.... We all know how hard FFXIII was.
Is Tekken6 really that different?

oh wait!.... I get it!

You are not annoyed, because you are getting used to losing the exlusives, huh?

Well, no wonder! I guess it's just another dreary day at the PS3-multiplat-office for you guys..

XD

[pansenbaer]

At least we have exclusives to lose...Seriously though, if tomorrow, there was an announcement that Gear of War 2 and Fable 2 were no longer 360 exclusives, what system-selling, flagship titles (Final Fantasy XIII and Tekken 6) would be left? We have Socom: Confrontation, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Motorstorm, and Valkyria Chronicles all coming out before year end! Honestly, its not as big of a deal as the Xbox fans seem to think it is. We still get to play the game! Now if there was an announcement tomorrow that Final Fantasy XIII Versus was now a 360 exclusive!?...Yeah, people would be pissed.

[karlostomy]

defending the ps3 in a 360 thread.

Actions.speak.louder.than.wor ds.
Fanboy.

[pansenbaer]

Not so much defending as stating what most PS3 owners feel. Losing exclusive games is not as big a deal as you make it seem. I have never bought or played a copy of Tekken so this announcement doesn't affect me in one bit. But on the flip-side, if I was a ridiculous Tekken fan and a PS3 owner, this announcement still wouldn't affect me because I still get to play it! I stopped playing Final Fantasy after IX and I honestly don't know if I will pick this copy up. I didn't before the announcement of multi-plat and I still don't know. Once again, not phased by the announcement.

tErabyte really did hit the nail on the head:
"the ps3 only owners appear not to be bothered,whilst the xbox only owners appear to be a bit upset that the ps3 only owners arent bothered lol"

[BrianC6234]

Does anyone care about Tekken or fighting games anymore? I don't. They're pretty much all the same. Better graphics and same gameplay. Boring.

[DJ]

But this is awesome news. 360 owners better get this title! 'Cause the tekken series is badass.

[L Ronald Hubbard]

Fall 2009? What about simultaneous release?

I'm going read Dianetics for the 151th time and convert more people into Scientology instead of waiting for a year.

[picker332]

Is Tekken 6 the same as Tekken Bloodline Rebellion?

Anyway if it is then another exlusive game gone.

Wow ps3 doesn't have anymore exlusives left(Not what i can find out for now at least)

But i have given up on the exlusive part becouse it's all done now anyway¨NO MORE EXLUSIVES ON THE PS3¨

[Pennywise]

Have you seen the list of unmatched first party exclusives on the PS3 or do you just blow hot air while holding your ankles?

[gnothe1]

every know im bias TOWARDS the 360 but... I dont care ,Im buying this for my PS3, I have always played tekken on a PlayStation controller. I cant remember half the moves but its like their programmed into my hands with a PS controller. I can do kings slam chain combo flawless but couldn't call out what buttons im using. so for this game its PS3 all the way. I just hope they don't decide to charge to play online on the PS3 like they did with T5DR!!

[Doctor Strange]

Now I just want to know a release date for this game.

[Strife Lives]

We've heard the saying Money Makes The World Go Round.Oh. . .Tekken 6,multi.HUGE nEwS! ! ! and I said in another post,I love my 360,own +40games. Love it love it,but that DPAD works with DOA4,. . .but. . .Soul Calibur 4. . .its bearable.but Tekken 6 is just too fast paced,and theres no time to play with a finnicky DPAD while dropping combos.theres too many complicated chain combos with the dpad.So,Im going to hafta still buy a PS3 for Tekken 6.cuz Kazuya Mishima doesnt like to lose :p

[MAGNUM RAM SUPPORT]

namco sucks. Fall 09 is too long to care.
Hey the xbots care about tekken?
In the fall of 2009 who's gonna have a xbox360?

You should thank Sony & namco that a playstation game is
coming to your console that has 5 people left.
Playstation is trying to keep the xbox360 alive. Why?
because they pay out the a$$ to make more games.

Your xbox360 is still a hassle. In 2009 you would have paid for
more playstation games. It just makes the xbox360 look like the poor
mans ps3. You guys are our slaves. Up it puppet.

[Dannagar]

Namco made more money off the Xbox 360 version of Soul Calibur 4. I don't blame them for wanting to make money. I'm sure each version will have something exclusive.

[REDZEV]

whats this??? another game that sony and Namco molded into a stellar game franchise is coming to the 360??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! when are you pathetic droids gonna give up and cut your losses??? First you lost Ace combat 6 because Namco didnt approve of Sonys online structure at the time of development and know Tekken??? I understand no one wants to be caught backing a inferior console but you Sony fanboys I will never understand : (

[PSK22]

I tried very hard not to get on 360 even when they took most 3rd party exclusives away from Sony. But Tekken on the 360 is a no no. Why Microsoft is so ready to take everything away, they are not original at all. This is why I don't want a 360. I need a console which is or almost original with there games. Sony at this moment is working with their 1rst party developers mostly which is original. Tekken just doesn't feel right on another platform. I grew up playing tekken on playstation and arcades. 360 guess what I tried so hard to like u since some of my friends got it and yes u are a good system but taking away games that has been exclusive for years is not a console for me. Oh and btw thanks for delaying tekken another year.

[pumpkinpunker]

You guys are the biggest whiners I've ever seen. Sony didn't invent Tekken or FF. A third party developer wrote those games for the Nintendo and Playstation gaming platforms because they were popular. Now they are writing them for the X360 gaming platform also which has outsold the PS3 worldwide by 5 1/2 million consoles and is currently outselling the PS3 worldwide on a monthly basis. Is this a huge surprise to you that game developers want their games on a more popular console? If not then I guess life sucks, what more can i say?

[Blakzhuk]

They didn't take anything AWAY. It's still coming out for the PS3.

[Enterprise-E]

The only problem I Have with this is the friggin game won't be out till NOV 2009!!!!! Lets see FF XIII won't be out till about 2010 . Thanks to M$. Now Tekken 6 won't be out till Nov 2009. See a pattern here?

I don't have a problem with games going mulitplat i have both consoles. The problem i have is when they delay the games for a full year. That is the problem i have. Am i the only one having the problem with this?

[Still_Breathing]

You're not alone on this.
I also don't like it, when the games are dumbed down to fit on a DVD

[Blakzhuk]

You can play Soul Calibur 4 for a whole year and then jump into Tekken 6. It doesn't make sense for Namco to release ANOTHER fighter right now when they just released one. They can milk the Yoshimitsu cow for a whole year and then start it over again.

noob.

[MAGNUM RAM SUPPORT]

how is ps3 inferior? The game is multiplatform now. When will you understand this
Just unites us. You will now understand the games us droids love.
There isn't one xbox360 exclusive us droids want. Not 1.

Remember the first xbox? Where were you when all those Sony games
came to it?
Us droids were like oh that's cool but then some xbutt said the xbox was better.
Then poof ms dropped support.
this gen is no different. You get a playstation bone & poof RROD.
Nobody needs the xbox dude. Fall 2009 nobody will have one. There is still
way more reason to have a ps3 & soon you will have one too.

We got a game coming out called supersonic acrobatic rocket powered battle cars game.
maybe it will be multi so you can still find reason to turn on your xbox360.

[darkdoom3000]

hmm... inresting. earnier today i read PS3 not getting Tekken 6, but instead getting T6: Bloodline rebellion. now it says X360 getting tekken 6. but dosent mention BR anywhere.

ive come to the conclusion that PS3 version is BR and X360 version is just the normal version??? i will probalbaly be proven wrong. but this stragety will make X360 tekken fans happy-ish, and will seem like they havent backstabbed the Sony. (if you havent realised, sony fans are really pissed at SE. possibly to the point of nt buying the game )

-i will probabally be proven wrong.

[loverboifreak]

oh well, not gonna waste my time on this. fighters i usually sell after playing them anyway

[SEAN1617]

Even though tekken is my favorite fighting game franchise in the world and i still plan to get Tk6BL for the ps3 why the hell do we have to wait till fall of 09 to get it, i mean fUUK. Just because Namco is placing this game in Japanese arcades once again doesn't mean we Westerners who more or less have no arcade seen left have to suffer because of it. arrggg. Damn you Namco.... oh on a side note those who want to play tekken on the 360, for the love of god get a joystick the D-pad will make it un-freaking playable.

[Lord Xire]

That Microsoft is still the newest contender in this gaming console industry and that they haven't had the time to create a large First Party team like Sony...but as they gain the respect of 3rd party developers you may see those developers become an Microsoft asset.

These 3rd party leftovers you morons speak about are the games that most likely built the Playstation Brand to what it is today.

Last generation Sony had 75% of the gaming industry in it's pockets and now developers worry and stress about the success of there product if they release on the Ps3 only.

Developers are turning there heads towards the company that is doing it for the "gamers" which means there hard work will get payed off.

If you think because Microsoft is helping the 3rd party expand there profits and give an overall wider look to there games is "weak" "shameless" or "leftovers" I feel your a moron.

Even if Multiplatform..the XBL Experience and lowered prices to cope with the pockets of people feeling the effects of the economy and gas will turn consumers to the 360 and the Xbox community will become the flagship of the Gaming Industry.

Making the Sony Ps3 only beneficial for it's count on my hands first party titles and Blu Ray. I rest.

[juuken]

If Microsoft becomes the new Sony, then I quit gaming.

There should be friendly competition between COMPANIES. That's how competition works. You don't try to destroy the other competition. It's clear enough to me that Microsoft is truly jealous of Sony's success in the gaming industry and that's why they're so hellbent on running them out of the industry.

Good for you if you think that way. As for me, what they're doing reeks of nothing but f*cking bullsh*t.

[Blakzhuk]

Cry me a river Juuken. If you quit gaming because MS takes over, all that means is that we've been right this whole time. You're a bleeding heart fangirl, not a gamer.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

Autumn 09? Ridiculous, we can thank crap MS, without them this game would be long ago on PS3. These bastards surely paid Namco so both release simultaneously.

[running rampid]

so predictable.

[Lord Vader]

Thank goodness Sony has 1st party developers... between DLC & 3rd party support, the Ps3 ain't lookin' too hot this gen...

Fallout III DLC, Tomb Raider DLC, GTA4 DLC, RE5, DMC4, Dead Rising, DOA, VF5, NG2, UT3, Assassin's Creed...

& Now both FF & Tekken...

Whats the worst micro has lost... a bad port of Bioshizzle a year later ???

Sony losing exclusives & old PS franchises going to Micro has been a big shocker this gen to me.

http://blog.wired.com/games...

[running rampid]

sony gets the shorter end of the stick, again.

[PotNoodle]

But seriously, fighting games are starting to get a little old here in western countries. Let microsoft continue stealing sonys old stuff, just gives sony more reason to hunt for new unique franchises.

[ReBurn]

I don't think that fighting games are getting old. The success of Soul Calibur 4 and its 1.5 million copies sold proves that. They don't make enough fighting games these days in my opinion. Soul Calibur was the only good fighting game since DOA4 this generation.

[Narutone66]

xbox 360 are multi-platform games.
（￣～￣;）Hmmmmmmmm・・・

[Narutone66]

xbots are boasting about a multi-platform game. Maybe that's the best game their console could ever get.
（￣～￣;）Hmmmmmmmm・・・

[NegativeCreep427]

They just love to play titles that were once exclusives on other's systems and act like they love them despite the fact that they only appreciate First Person Shooters. They are like Nazi's; We want to have what other people can't have.

[wazborn]

knew it was bound to happen

[Neo604]

now is who got better technology.

[NegativeCreep427]

Well Sh*t, that title belongs to the Playstation 3... Anyone who disagrees is nothing but a delusional Phanboy.

[ReBurn]

The age of the exclusive isn't over. On the contrary, the exclusive is more important than ever now. It is now up to the console manufacturer to produce the exclusives themselves. Without exclusives there's no need for multiple hardware vendors, meaning the person with the lowest price will win.

[INFINITY30]

the game is more for you honkeys than it is us negros!(sorry for racist rant!)

[Avto]

Ehhh, if anyone says they didn't see this coming is either lying or a complete idiot.

[DeZimatoR]

Microsoft gets their nose onto it, PS3 fans have to wait year to get a game that should have been ported from the arcades (PS3 hardware) a long time ago...

Sigh

I don't really care about Tekken as fighting games are not my cup of tea but its freaking retarded that PS3 owners have to wait much longer just so Scamco can port the game to the 360...

[Firstkn1ghT]

The 360 gaming library keeps on getting bigger. You have to honor the fact that Microsoft is doing everything in their power to keep us 360 owners happy. I'm not a fan of Tekken but it's still nice to see that Microsoft brought it over to the good side for those that like the series. Good job Microsoft. :)

[thereapersson]

LOL, if there was any doubt before, that statement proves you really are a blind fanboy. Are you seriously defending a monopolistic corporation? No, seriously, answer me this. It isn't even about games any more; it's about your seemingly obsessively strange fascination with a company that could give two sh@ts less about your inane internet crusading. I bet the compensation checks MS are sending you for your fanboyism are rather substantial!

Oh wait....

[Avto]

What I want to know is this PS3 is getting the upgraded version Bloodline Rebellion while now on MS TGS conference they said Tekken 6 not the new one, so does this mean X360 owners will have to buy the extra stuff as DLC?

[omimasum]

expect it to be downgraded for the 360 version

[Lets-Game]

i hope ms goes out of console business next gen and some atari and sega join. I wanned to play tekken soon but a whole damn year?? no shi* man. most multiplats are garbage cept grid and cod4. PES08 was crap cause the lead console was xbox, they already delayed ffxiii now this its like they do this on purpose. make those who dont own their product hate them. only a real fanboy can say "way to go ms". im fine with other games that went multiplat at least they didnt delay anything (hopefully) eventhought many sucked, i dunno whos fault was that.
as a pc gamer i only play sport,fighting and rpg games on my ps3 and everyone of my favorites has been affected negatively by ms's involvement.

and btw fanboys are sad people, either ps3 or xbox ones.

[thereapersson]

It's funny how 360-only gamers are only really excited when previous PS-exclusive IP's go to the 360; this is made even more hilarious considering how many 360 fanboys hate the Playstation brand so much.

What the hell is wrong with people nowadays?

[ReBurn]

That's as funny as the PS3-only gamers who were once saying it could never happen are now saying that Tekken really isn't that big of a deal. Attitudes sure do change when there's confirmation of a rumor, don't they?

I'm glad I have both. That makes my only decision which version I should buy.

[thereapersson]

It's just because I hang out mostly in the PS3 section on this site, that's mostly what I see. I know that fanboys cross over to both sides of the fence and it frankly gets really annoying. I think the fact that this current generation of gaming has shaken up more people than ever is a testament to the relative impermanence of brand loyalty over monetary gain.

Thankfully dual console owners like you and I only need to chalk the purchasing decision up to what small difference we prefer, such as online infrastructure, controller preference, etc.

[ReBurn]

Wow, I never thought I'd see Tekken on anything other than Playstation. Why is it taking so long?

[WengYong]

The controls are defintely not suited to Tekken. Tekken requires precise input and the analogue doesnt cut it. Just been playing MK3 from Xbox Live and I wish I didnt bother. Japan it will sell on PS3 only anyway, I dont think Xbox owners in Japan will really bother with it.

Good on Microsoft, But I'll get the PS3 version. Doesnt matter what any fanboy says, PS3 version will be far better

[Sniper_amer]

this sucks, now the game will be delayed coz of this...

[Ps3Excalibur]

This is why i hate Microsoft.. simply because they know all there games suck so they think we go to good ps3 games.. but oh no remember when everyone was saying "ps3 have no good games" well now Microsoft has just realized its them now the tables have turned all xbox has is gears of war and halo there both crap anyway lets face it.. and now your pulled off this move i don't care you took a ps3 title i care how uve now made all the ps3 gamers wait a whole year to get a game which is theres anyway just because Microsoft want to score points by sayin oh we got this we got that, To be honest Microsoft you suck so bad go make your own "good" games and stop wasting time on banjo kazooie and made a good game shame u haven't got resistance 2 or LBP which are the best ever u can shuv them right up your fable ass

oh yh one more thing Microsoft u P*** me off so bad cause you cant get your own games. F off you suck stick to your windows vista, oh no that was a shambles too what a shame but nevermind ay lmaoo.

[Blakzhuk]

Microsoft is so awesome. It's great to see an American company once again destroying the competition in the gaming world. Haven't seen this since Colecovision.

[Horny]

who didnt see this coming lol

i dont care that its multiplat at all besides the fact it got delayed.
Tekken and Street Fighter are the only fighters I buy, but its not coming until a year from now, Ill lose interest by then.

[Killjoy3000]

I honestly saw this coming.

[BrownPowerzz]

Is it really true??

[Zulwarn]

..........FF13 VERSUS!! for THE 360

[Kawa-kun]

Namco is gonna get sued by Sony now for violating their contract.

[The Dark Side]

There plenty of great titles that microsoft can't buy.

Little Big Planet
God of War Fanchise
Twisted Metal Frachise
Socom Franchise
Gran Turisomo Franchise
Rachet and Clank Franchise
Uncharted Frachise
Infamous
Motorstorm Franchise
Killzone Franchise
Ico Team Games
Whipout Games
etc.

Microsoft has to spend money because there exclusive line ups suck a**
compare to PS3

[Richdad]

good news for me

[Mitch_Cumstein]

For those reading this story a bit late I have summarized the PS3 fanboy's comments in regards to yet another lost Sony exclusive so you don't have to go through and read all the crying.

-"Microsoft is just a big bad meanie".

- "But...but...but...but it isn't fair, it isn't fair"

-"Oh yeah well, well, my daddy can beat up Microsoft's mommy"

-"MOMMY!, MOMMY!!, MOMMY!!! Microsoft is being a big meanie again and getting all our exclusive games. Please mommy make them stop"

-"Oh yeah, well..well... Microsoft is a big doo doo head"

[Kawa-kun]

That would just be the idiotic fanboys.

Anyone with the ability to think would realize that MS is more than likely going to lose money, depending on how they handle the inevitable lawsuit from Sony. Sony and Namco had a joint contract for Tekken, Namco broke it so they're probably going to get sued. Now either MS is paying enough to be able to ignore the lawsuit, or it's paying the bill for it.

Either way the money made off T6 will probably be less than what they paid for the lawsuit. Mainly due to the fact that the controller for the 360 is horrible for Tekken, and the servers aren't good on the 360. PS3 version will be much better than the 360, MS is just trying to find a way to demoralize Sony and it's fanbase imo.

If Sony decides to sue that is.

[thereapersson]

You have a point...

But then again, your name is "Mitch_Cumstein". Think about what you are trying to achieve here.

[shutterspeed]

Look at Kawa-kun's post! That is the TRUE defination of denial! Just make sh1t up and say the other guy's stuff is bad. Wowzorz lol!

You have NO IDEA what you are talking about do you? PS3 fanboys say the darnest things!

HAHAHAHAHA lawsuit hahahahaha! Is MS going to pay for Final Fantasy too?

Hahaha lol. The tide is turning. Bite hard PS3 fans. BITE HARD.

[Kawa-kun]

About that PS3 fanboy comment, I own a 360 and I have never touched a PS3 in my life.

Also, MS bought out FF. There was no contract with Square Enix over the FF series, that's why it's on multiple platforms (Wii, GBA, DS, GC, etc.)

Namco has a contract with Sony to keep it a PS exclusive, they broke it. They are probably gonna get sued.

Do you understand that shutter?

[slayer8]

look at all the PS3 fanbois in denial.....they are hurtin'! Can't wait to play Tekken on the X360! WOOHOO !!

[stuntman_mike]

people talking about loyalty from these companies, but you forget loyalty=money. so where ever the money is thats where most companies are, and at the moment microsoft seem to be putting it about this generation. although that money could be spent on some decent 1st party games.

as a ps3 owner i know theres gonna be no exclusives outside sony 1st part devs.

[Mitch_Cumstein]

I mean it wasn't Microsoft that built a machine that developers hate developing for. It wasn't Microsoft that pushed the Blu Ray agenda on gamers totally forgetting to listen to developers like MS did with the 360. It wasn't Microsoft that placed Blu Ray over gaming. It wasn't Microsoft that fumbled away overwhelming marketshare from the previous generation with a poorly designed console that ended up being way too expensive.

The bottomline is developing exclusively for the PS3 is just too damn expensive and too much of a risk. Third party sales on the 360 are just too good to ignore, plus Microsoft has made a commitment to listening to developers. As a result developers have a great understanding on how to design games for Microsoft's console.

[shutterspeed]

wah wah wah MS is a bully wah wah wah.

It's so much fun seeing the rabid PS3 fanboys having a meltdown over at NeoGaf!

[Serg]

Tekken 6, I so was hoping for a late 08 release... thank you Microsoft for ruining another great franchise by gimping it to DVD9 size and delaying it...

Tekken 5, 4,5GB, that's a full DVD5

Tekken 6, a lot larger textures, models with more polygons, higher detail in maps, new characters, a lot of customization stuff.

You don't have to be Einstein to know that this exceeds a DVD9. And who would put a fighting game on 2 DVDs, so instead it will be gimped down.

I wouldn't care if the xbox would have a HD drive, but it hasn't. That's what the big problem is with games going to 360, they'll be gimped down.

[Still_Breathing]

That's why I hate Microsoft.

[Blakzhuk]

2 large characters in an arena. I'm sure this game needs to be 'dumbed down' to run on a 360.

/sarcasm off

[Serg]

Next time you respond, try to make sense at least. Where have I said anything about processing performance. I mentioned disc space and the 360 clearly has a disadvantage here. My point was if Tekken 5 filled a DVD5 on a PS2 what does Tekken 6 need then, a whole lot more than a DVD9 has to offer I am certain of that. So in order to make it fit on a DVD9 they will scrap features, compress textures or even decrease them in size and what not.

Truth is, the 360 is powerful, but you will not see it's power with DVD as the graphics have to be toned down in order to fit on a DVD9. That's why PS3 games dominate in that department, 4 KillZone 2 levels would fit on a DVD9, no room for a menu, characters, hell anything else but the levels has no space on the DVD. Just 4...

I have seen a Fallout 3 gameplay trailer for download lately, it was in HD... 2,2GB for a trailer, talking about DVD is enough for HD gaming, screw that.

[Uzesgelen_Goo]

Tekken 6 for xbox360. Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebelion for PS3.
am i right ????? *confused*

[Nightwing12]

What a great time to be a 360 gamer. Sony just continue to bend over so Microsoft can rape you in the ass. LOL

[Triniprince1420]

What a joyous moment in life. You PS3 fanboys might as well quit at saying that you don't care about Tekken 6 going Multiplatform. You guys know for a fact that it's hurting you as gamers and Sony as they had this game exclusively from since the PS1. Sony is quakin right now, since Tekken was one of the games that made PS a great system. I remember Tekken being 1 of the 1st games to come out on the PS. So don't try to make yourselves look like jackasses, this is a huge blow to you guys and you know it. PPL are talking about MS buying up exclusives because they don't have any of their own, I agree in a way because it's a new console and more of the good ones already are on PS. So what would any opposing Business firm do? I reckon they will try to eliminate the competition by scooping up the exclusives that the other business has and let's not forget that the game companies aren't making that much of a profit on games since the PS3 is a dead, lifeless console that seems to make BS into more BS, so game companies will definitely choose 360 since they'll be getting more money for their games. 360 all the way......Go MS, eliminate the PS3, Take God of War next....hahahahahaha yesssssssss.

[kratos-i-am]

I don't understand this whole "console war" thing... Just be happy with your investment! The PS3 and the Xbox are both doing well with their relative installed base with the Xbox 360 being around 20+ million and the PS3 around 15+ million. Therefore both consoles are equally viable for ANY GAME PUBLISHER! Jeez! You must also understand the companies have hidden agendas, where they aren't interested in ONLY GAMING as they are in TRYING TO OWN YOUR MEDIA EXPERIENCE. Case in point the new NETFLIX service as part of the NXE and the similar service for the PS3.You must also understand Sony's agenda aswell as they are not specifically tied to gaming as they are to Blu Ray. The console itself for Sony was to win the format war against HD DVD which they did allowing Sony's stock to soar. Another part of Blu Ray winning was to allow for better DRM protection for their movies WHICH THEY PUBLISH through COLUMBIA and SONY PICTURES! So although Sony maybe losing money on the PS3 they are gaining considerable market share in other ways such as for Blu Ray. ANYWAY BACK TO TEKKEN We must remember this is still a MULTIPLATFORM GAME and its just as viable for game publishers to release it on both platforms this gen relative to the previous generation where the PS2 dominated with 130 million at the end of it's cycle. The combined user base for this gen doesn't even come close where it's still well under 40 million. Lets just hope both consoles last and that we continue gaming into the future!!!!

[dadeisvenm]

1. It's business... nothing personal

Exclusives are a commodity to be bought or sold, but it doesn't go without its consequences. Most of the top ten games sold are 1st/2nd party titles but with that sales are limited, and 3rd party title exclusives suffer the same fate. If the 3rd party title is ANNOUNCED as multiplatform, its actually worse for the developer because the consumer has a "meh.. I can get this game anywhere now so I'll wait to buy it." LATE ANNOUNCEMENTS or TIMED EXCLUSIVES are better especially at this stage since it has the potential to drive up game and console sales and, this reguvinates a dead title. Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, and other late PS3 announcements benefit from timed exclusives.

2. Niche genres can not afford to be exclusives

Virtua Fighter 5 sold 500K on the PS3 and 100K on the Xbox360, Sega spent more then that in marketing. Not good. The likely hood of further development is low. Will there be a Virtua Fighter 6? Probably but it would likely be in development well into the next console cycle.

3. It's TEKKEN, not Street Fighter.

Tekken is substantially less iconic then Street Fighter so it needs as many eyes as it can get.

[dadeisvenm]

I don't have a 360 or Wii but thats about it for current gen consoles. I could care less about the X360 titles. What I do care about is Return on Investment. The worse device I have is my DS with TWO cracked hinges. I do not like to invest in devices that won't live beyond it life cycle. The Xbox still is a fragile investment IMPO so when the bad inventory is weeded out I'll purchase one and a ton of cheap USED games. :P

[zonetrooper5]

Well, I did say a day or two ago I wanted to see another crapstorm from either side and I've gotten it today. I do find it funny that people say this game is now crap because it isn't exclusive, are you guys really that angry/sad that a game went mutiplatform?

[edhe]

WipoutHD Live!

[Calvin_ISA]

But it's developed by Sony.. So the chances of that happening are as big as the chances of Halo going to the PS3.

[VTKC]

Wow this is certainly a big suprise. This doesnt look good for sony. Is it just 'Tekken 6' and not 'Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion' coming to the Xbox360?
I have a xbox360 and was waiting to get PS3 nearer the release of T6 on the PS3.

Lol I probably end up with both versions of the game since I am such a fan of Tekken from the first game. Plus I am more use to the PS controller over the 360.

[Triniprince1420]

Tekken 6 original version is going to Arcades and Bloodline Rebellion is going to 360 and PS3

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

I think MS should concentrate on making more games than stealing one away..because the last two games shows they have disappointing..

[mcm]

This is a weird situation a double edged sword if you will. On the one hand Namco can get a wider fanbase by going multi platform, but on the other hand the already established fanbase has to wait an additional year for a games that was promoted all the way back to E3 06.

With that said thanks I am starting to loose faith in Namco these days, just look at what happened to Soul Calibur IV other than graphics the game actually took a step back in value with the majority of it expected features dropped. How can a Soul Calibur III a PS2 game on a DVD offer more than SC IV a Bluray on the PS3?
Oh, thats right SC III was exclusive so there was only one version to concentrate on. Now It all makes sense why many features were dropped from SC IV, was this due to the limits of DVD?

I don't blame Microsoft at all because they are doing what they have to do. They are the kind of company that will do anything to win even if it means destroying the very market that they so desperately want to dominate. I also can't blame Namco because they are simply tring to stay relevant in the industry.

I just hope that this games doesn't suffer the same fate as SC IV.

[Mitch_Cumstein]

Being the good person that I am I thought I would pass along some advice for the PS3 fanboys. When you are done with the hate letters and petitions save them on your PC's HDD so you just have to load them up and change the name of the game and developer when the next Sony exclusive is fumbled away.

No need to thank me.

[Horny]

lol that actually was good

no doubt there will more 3rd party exclusives going multiplat.

[LONEWOLF231]

No i think the 360 is getting the slandered Tekken 6 and the Ps3 is getting the souped up version that is Bloodline Rebellion. This was and still is Sonys leading fighting IP.

[FxckOSX]

the money power
haha
brilliant.

[Salta_nelas]

is 360 fans always say that PS3 does not have games (?), but everytime M$ gets a former PS exclusive they all brag about..Go figure.

This gen:
Sony- new ips

M$- focus on stealing former Sony exclusive franchises.

[robotnik]

but but we have teh halo

[psycho360]

Can we chk threads of Soul Calibre 4? Sony fans were saying they would wait for their exclusive Tekken. I guess now even 360 fans can say that ;)

Regarding every sony fanboy being angry @ MS for their tactics, i guess you're too blind to see that the blame lies with Sony, who were sitting on their high perch because of the success of ps1/ps2 and were least bothered about making a capable, easy to develop for, competitively priced gaming console instead they were busy trying to rope in the movie industry with the new HD format.

Also those 10-20-2000 people getting angry and not buying MS console will not reflect the majority of potential buyers who will see a bloody good priced $199 console providing the same gaming experience and in most cases even better than the more expensive rival.

And not to mention that 20million happy uers > 16million p!ssed :D

[kornbeaner]

$199. How could you think that the new arcade sku is worth buying for any true gamer. Taken by your name, I will assume that you like your 360 and play online. I'm I right? Yes? Okay.

Last time I checked, a HDD and a subscription to Xbox live was required not optional but required for online play. That alone adds at least $150 to the price of that supposed $199 SKU. And seeing as most of the people I work with are always talking about Xbox live and how good it is, the $199 arcade SKU is a joke that is only allowed to exist so that MS can prey on peoples ignorance. Any true gamer sees no use on the arcade SKU.

So when talking about certain people being blind maybe you should make sure your eyesight is not as blurry as it always appears to be.

[Horny]

@kornbeaner

199 sounds great to the general public. There is few hardcore gamers compared to casual. Most people just want to play some Madden or Fifa or rent the latest big game such as Gears or something like that. They dont need a HD or online play. The 60 Gig is still only 300 compared to Sonys cheapest 400.

[dkgshiz]

They said this is coming to the 360 back in june.

[dkgshiz]

Just delaying all the games. Thats why I only like 1st party exclusives. At least they cant be bought or stolen. When they are bought and stolen its just another year of waiting. Thanks RROD BOX!

[MetalProxy]

Sigh, more multiplatform games for the 360. Xbots sure love bragging about having the same games, lol. Nice and Pathetic as always.

[BigKev45]

Another blow for Sony.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Don't even act like your getting this game, cause before this article, all you fanboys were saying Soulcaliber was better anyways. Since when have any of you really cared about this game? I got a 360 and a ps3, you wanna guess which version I been planning on getting? Probably the one with the superior dpad don't cha think?

[anonilir]

Same reason I got SCIV for the PS3 I just prefer the PS3 controller for namco fighting games.

[MaximusPrime]

most people are familiar with PS controls.

gonna take a long time to get used to xbox 360 most complicated controller. Buttons are everywhere.

[SPECTRUX]

I hate you Microsoft. Thanks again for making me wait another year to get a game that should be out already.

[na2ru1]

SC4 is da bestzzz anywayzzz...

[killcycle]

I am upset that it went to 360.
Why dont they get focus on they're on devs rather then coming, taking ours and making our games worse because they gotta be toned down and delayed for the 360?

I brought my ps3 for tekken 6 and damn microsoft for doing this ****.
I dont see sony focusing on any of their crap so why do they have to jump the boarder and chase ours?

Just **** off and make another DOA

[Adversary]

Microsoft has a killer handful of exclusives coming out this x-mas. So it's not like they're not making any of their own games. Maybe Gears and Fable aren't your thing, but their production values and technical merits are top notch, whereas Tekken (while being the greatest fighting game known to man), isn't exactly an exhibition in the power of a system. You know? KZ2 will probably be a little more impressive, and MS probably isn't going to get a port of that any time soon.

[AngryTypingGuy]

When Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter came to the 360, PS3 fans were saying "Tekken >>>>>Soul Calibur" and "Tekken >>>>>Virtua Fighter". Now we have them all. What fighting games are left?

[PimpHandStrong]

i wont be playing Tekken 6 till Nov 2009?

is it being delayed because MS paid to have it on the 360?

man if thats true i wont buy tekken and i wont buy one more game from the makers of the game!

I can say with all honesty! If this is delayed like FF for the PS3 because MS wanted to take a system seller out of Sonys hands i will never buy anything MS and i will never buy anything from these devs that play the game like this!

FUK THEM

this really does piss me off because MS is using there money to effect my gaming! And not in a good way!

PISSED

[iMarcus]

Im sure with you not purchasing Microsoft products, the company will surely fail

[offdawall8408]

yupp yet another title now on the xbox 360 . hey i have nothing against microsoft but can some one please explain what is the point of having different consoles if i cant brag about what game i have an you dont

[shovelbum]

I could care less about this game but judging by the comments there are many upset gamers out there. I hate that it gets delayed for those who care but I do like that MS is bringing the games to their console. If your a 360 fanboy then you eat stuff like this up. It adds fuel to the console war and MS gets free advertising via forums. That said I do wish they'd focus more on original IP's.

[BigPappaPump]

Doesn't bother me because I own both systems. I'm annoyed for the fact that I can't play it sooner because it has to be coreleased with the xbox version.

[offdawall8408]

tell me whats the point in even having the two consoles if microsoft is going to get every title that was supposed to be a sony exclusive

[BigPappaPump]

At the begining of this console generation;I never anticipate that MS was going to suck up every 3rd party exclusives that Sony once tightly held. I stopped buying 3rd party games for the fact that they're typically not up to snuff for my 60 bucks. I'm more focused on 1st party games and true exclusives(ie MGS4) by either system.

[PimpHandStrong]

i love when i read ppl say stupid sh!t like this

"why would i need a PS3 when i can play every exclusive they have on a 360"

really

I can name many many more games that in the last 2 years have showed up on my PS3 and havent seen a 360 port! I have a long list and killer games! I will not list them
but
Is the list of 360 only games that i cant play on the PS3 that long? No its not! You know why?!?! Becuase MS doesnt have studios and they dont create new IP's!

Sony is King

MS is just the pee-on that eats left overs!

[thehitman]

doesnt really matter every1 knows which sysetm plays fighting games better...

[Sheddi]

if this game is delayed because of 360, i aint getting it!
im only gonna go for 1st and 2nd party games.

[jfrdricks7931]

Of Sony losing another "exclusive" franchise and fanbois trying to cover up their dissapointment. Give it up... Sony is losing this generation.

[LethalToxins]

That's ridiculous. I think I'm going to skip this Tekken release. Too big of a delay just annoys one too much.

[IaMs12]

Sweet i am excited, i love tekken. I think it will be a different version then the PS3 but i hope it is as fun as the previous versions

[iMarcus]

boring game can never come out :)

[nycredude]

All this fuss over a fighting game that sucks balls anyway!

[Rusted]

Once again, 360 fanboys are happy because Sony lost the exclusive, not because they want to play the game. No suprise here, Microsoft competition style is all about money, the sweet american bussines.

BTW, Sony you're an asshole.

[pshizle]

xbox360 does now have all the playstations multi exclusive titles

[DG]

Meh I lost interest in tekken after PS1 I like my fighting games to be fun not rocket science technical.

[xionpunk]

OMG fall 2009!? WTF!? Guess its MK v DC for me.

[Spike47]

I couldn't care less. Same probabaly goes for everyone else except the fanboys that want to force the idea upon us that Ps3 owners are mad about Tekken going on the xbox360.

[DevastationEve]

I don't see anything wrong with a business decision like this, seeing how the economy is slow enough for them to WANT to make back their initial investments and development costs as soon as possible.

If you think about it right, you'll see that it makes the most since. By releasing their more notable titles on both consoles they expose them to a wider base of potential buyers. Sort of like how you see taco vendors selling their foods near the entrances to stores, as shopping areas get tons of "foot travel". Well, a console with a huge install base like x360 can't be ignored in their pursuit of making profits. Plus, they make it easier for owners of either console to get the titles they want.

[DevastationEve]

When somebody says that "ps3's d-pad is better" all it really means is that they're comfortable with they have, and that in their opinion the competitor doesn't interest them. That's fine, since that means that Sony (or MS) has done their job in appealing to THEM. It shouldn't really have anything to do with ME, since I might like x360's controller just fine the way it is. Once again, gamers are trying to fight back with their preferences.

I have SC4 and I think that the dpad for x360 is acceptable.

I won't say exceptional since in truth I would've thought we'd all be using VR technology by now, with some sort of motion sensing and neural receptors that receive input directly from our brains. But WHAT EVA, that's probably coming soon!

[Adversary]

I find this particularly irritating as an owner of all three consoles. When I went out and bought my 360 it was for Fable, BioWare, Ninja Gaiden, and because I think shooters play better on the 360sticks. When I bought my PS3, it was for Metal Gear, ICO, Final Fantasy, God of War, Tekken, and GTA.

So I bought these systems for specific games before the games were even out, knowing that I already wanted to play them, and that I liked them on that system. I think most people did this. I don't think anyone went out and bought a 360 because they thought that FF MIGHT be on it, or a PS3 because MAYBE Jade Empire 2 would be on that. That would be stupid, right? If you wanted FF, then you bought a damned PS3, and if you wanted Jade Empire, you bought a freakin' 360.

So whenever MS buys their way into an old franchise, they're not actually improving my 360 experience, they're just hurting my PS3 experience, because now some of my friends who like the 360 better for whatever reason might buy that franchise on the 360, while I and others buy it on the PS3, and now we can't play together. That sucks.

It's a different story when you only own one or the other, sure, but did anyone buy the 360 because Tekken was going to be on it? NO! People who own the 360 exclusively don't give a flying-f*** about Tekken! All this cross-platform development is hurting the consumer. It's devaluing their purchases and creating sub-standard products. I would even prefer if NOTHING was cross-platform, and every game was made exclusively to take advantage of that system's strengths. Can you imagine how much better all these games would be? Better yet would be a unified platform that can be modded by developers for their specific games. I'm going off on a tangent now, so back on track.

The point is, this sucks. What's next? Halo for PS3?

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

Honestly This genre has far from evolved at all.Given the amount of ram and graphics and AI we have now???

Why hasn't any of these fighting games have yet to match or surpass Sega Dreamcast version of Soul Calibur???

Why dont we have High level multi tiered environments or massive worlds and a fight world ala Shenmue combined???

Do something new for gods sake!!!

[KyonoRocks]

Thank you Microsoft. You now made my arcade stick I bought for SCIV a very good purchase :D

[Lowendtheory]

all i can say is xbox users have fun with the crappy d-pad. its just gonna be like SCIV where you can only do half the combos with the xbox controler as you can with the ps3 one. the game i was most looking foreward to got pushed back because of ms. lets hope ms dosent ruin tekken like they did with GTAIV.

[MANCREEP]

I'm not sure how this comes as a shock to some of you. Seriously. You'd have to be an idiot to NOT develop this as multi-platform. Look at Soul Caliber 4. It has 7-10 times the amount of players online daily in XBL compared to PSN. Logic would tell us, this means it sold more copies(to date) on 360. Stop whining about it, its not like they said its EXCLUSIVE to the 360. Jeez

You act like it's in-game. Sony is notorious for getting everyone hyped up with ultra impressive CGI, and then disappointing when the in-game footage is shown. They are very misleading.

POOOOOOOOR DROIDS!!!!!!!!!! TAKE IT UP THE ASS, AGAIN!!!! HAHA OUCH!!!

I'm not a fighting game fan, but enjoy the occasional game. For instance, I had a ball with Soul Calibur 4. I'll have to read up to see what makes Tekken special...

Well, I'm kinda pissed off being that I bought my PS3 for Tekken 6! I still have some great games to play Like Killzone 2 and Resistance 2! I'm sure that there will be more exclusives in the future that will only be on my PS3! Also, I now have a ton of Blu-Ray movies! I would be purchasing Tekken 6 for my PS3 but all of my friends are on XBOX Live. But this was destined to happen because of the large fan base that the 360 has! But we all shouldn't fuss about either console losing their exclusives! Know why? Because competition is a good thing and we as gamers are the ones who wins in the end! If there wasn't any competition, think of all the crappy games that we would be left with if there wasn't any incentive to make better products! The PS1/PS2/PS3 controller is better for Tekken by the way! Only Xbox live is making me buy the 360 version!

MS isn't trying to beat Sony with better games by doing this. All they're doing is defeating the purpose of that competition. Good competition would be if MS went out and made a NEW fighting game to compete with Tekken, and tried expanding their user base by having BETTER games, not the same games. This is just lazy business and easy money. Whatever amount of money they threw at Namco to buy the franchise rights could have been dedicated to development of a new IP. Unfortunately, new IPs cost time and money, whereas existing IPs just cost money. Why raise a cow when you can buy your milk from some other jerk, right?

Think about it. This announcement could have been "Hey, we here at MS have an exciting new exclusive for you!" But instead, it was "Hey, we here at MS just made another exclusive from the other system a cross-platform game! So now instead of 1 or even 2 new exclusives, nobody gets ANY! YAAAAAAAAAY!"

You're totally right about xboxlive vs. psn too, which also sucks. I mean it sucks because only half of my friends will be on either network, and I won't even be able to play with the other half no matter which system I buy Tekken for.

At least Zelda, Metal Gear, and Fable are still exclusives :(

They have isolated themselves..
Hating on 360 and third parties..

they only have themselves to spank.

tsk tsk.
such a sad bunch.

[Knightofelemia]

Well this is one game i thaught would never be braught over to the 360 oh well. Since its going to the 360 how about porting over the new Ninja Gaiden 2 game and start procuding the DOA fighter games for the PS3

[Adversary]

NG2 wasn't nearly as good as NG1, and PS already got NG:Sigma. And DoA is sort of like SPED Tekken (SPecial EDucation), sooooo... Yeah, who cares?

[na2ru1]

PlayStation sucks right? Why the envy?

[tee_bag242]

I really never thought I would see the day Tekken would come to anything but a play station considering most Tekkens were made off the Naomi system 11 and 22 boards (almost idenically to PS hardware).

I'm not totally pissed but I actually bought my PS3 so I could use my older (ps2) copies of tekken 1-5 before tekken 5DR came out on ps3!

Im still not totally convinced it will come out on 360 though as the article has no direct link to the TGS Keynote minutes.

I dont mind if it does either but ill still get it on my ps3 due to the controller and free online. Plus the ps3 has all the hardcores playing already online.

I canceled my live account along time ago. Might crank it back up for some Forza and when L4Dead comes out.

I just wish Forza could come to ps3 so I dont have to pay rip off MS just to play online. Its a Dam joke

[FKN Unbelievable]

Tekken on 360? There goes my need to get a PS3 now.

Oh yeah Whenever everybody is willing to STFU and listen just keep in mind that After we've bought T6. T6:BR WILL, i repeat WILL be a download add on that will shaft us all in the end. After SC4 went multi you knew this was coming along.

[Blakzhuk]

OMFG they just announced FFXIII Versus for 360

Made you all look, but probably made some ps3 fangirls and boys cry.

After all the changes recently and how Sony no longer holds supremacy
tekken would change
How ever the D pad still Stinks on the 360 so i will be getting tekken on the ps3 >.<

[JokerSGS]

Not really surprised but kind of hurts since I'm a big Tekken fan as it is the premiere fighter out there. I think MS is not telling us everything that is enclosed in their deals with Japanese devs because it cost more to produce on both systems, and it will sell better on the PS3 in Japan where it will probably have the most appeal.

Does it really matter? Just be quick to perfect the game.
