PS3 still number one console for Tekken 6

Every Tekken-loving Playstation owner must have felt a bit gutted when it was revealed that the Tekken series was also being ported to Xbox 360 this year -- another Playstation exclusive series to lose its exclusivity.

[CaliGamer]

Let the hate and flaming begin. This is sure to cause some buzz, better take cover. LOL.

[gamesmaster]

i'd say i lean towards my ps3 more than my 360, but i'm not excited about this game to be honest. SFIV will get my money (if i ever wanted a fighter that is)

[PixlSheX]

Yeah, MS is beign runned by monkeys.

[Israfel]

Son's of back stabbing B!tches.

That being said, I'm going to enjoy playing this on my Xbox360.

[eagle21]

PS3 pad is best for Tekken.

[chaosatom]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

PS3 is not Screwed after all. It's the 360 instead!

[gamesmaster]

israfel are you schizophrenic? i think there's two fanboys arguing in your head.

[chaosatom]

"We can also expect some cool graphical effects that will push the power of the PS3 to deliver intense visuals at 60 frames per second."

They are Using SPE to the MAX!! (ok not to the Max, but they are using it to make the game a lot better.)

[spunnups]

“The game was programmed on PS3 architecture and specifically designed to make full use of the Cell’s SPU. So it’s going to be a big challenge to bring the game to the Xbox 360,” he told PSU.

that is great to hear. Same goes with FF13. As long as games are made on the PS3 first, and Blu Ray is is used to their advantage, I dont care where it's ported after that.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

A cross platform comparison will be interesting with this one.

[thats_just_prime]

He's doin an interview with a ps only mag all he is really doin is PR. If he was doing an interview with a 360 mag sure hed be hyping it up for 360 owners. Oh and not once does he say the game will be better on the ps3 then the 360. All he really said about the ps3 vs sthe 360 is that it hard to port games cause of the cell chip. We already knew this anyways cause tons of devs have said that it hard to port game from the 360 to the ps3 for the same reason.

[ps92117]

do to his username I can assure you he has being mentally raped before, so very likely he is schizophrenic.

[Bumpmapping]

Tekken is one of my favriote Fighters it's great 2 know us PS fans get the superior version and we will allways have superior D-pad.

[Kushan]

"Every Tekken-loving Playstation owner must have felt a bit gutted when it was revealed that the Tekken series was also being ported to Xbox 360 this year"

Question: Why? Why does it bother you so much that it's no longer an exclusive? You're still going to get the game on PS3, you're still going to be able to play it and enjoy it all the same, so why is it a problem? Why do you care?

[Harry190]

You screwed up. Tekken should have been a launch day title like all the other Tekkens. The game does not looks very good either. I will still get it, but there is no way it looks beter than VF5 which has been out for 2 years.

The character models in Killzone 2 look on par in terms of detail to Zafina (lame character), Bob ( cool character), Leo-copycat and that other guy with the nonsensical hairdo.

[pwnsause]

well, i played it in the arcade the other day, it looked pretty good

[chaosatom]

It looks like they are about get started on the 360 version.

[fafoon]

.

[Droid Smasha]

good for Tekken 6

[aaron5829]

Tekken 6. But then again, someone already said that.

[anubis12]

yes it is....fact still remains is that it will be on the 360 :D

[spunnups]

yes, but it will be a port. both consoles benefit when you produce a game on the PS3 first.

[FinalomegaS]

I remember at the arcade doing King's ultra killer grapple combo, was sweet. Playing at home on PS systems just didn't feel the same. I like the tekken series but it's been feeling a little void. Maybe they should do console exclusive like soul calibur with special characters.

BTW Paul is my man ( please don't say he's gay )I look at him as the bad ass 1 hit KO fighter.

[Danja]

I really dont care about Tekken going Multi-play but why make us wait another year for this game which so far I have yet to see ne thing that really screams next gen Tekken ....

[ultimolu]

*covers head*

[TheMART]

And yet we know and have seen that:

PS3 to 360 ports look about equal

360 to PS3 ports suck donkey balls

Which makes clear the PS3 isn't powerfull enough to handle games and the 360 is. WOW so far for teh teh powerfull cell with TFLOPS on paperspecs. Sounds like the emotion engine from the PS2 all over, strangely the competition back then brought the better visuals already. The 360 does again. REALITYCHECK!

[chaosatom]

360 gets Nailed hard. Really Hard.

360 doesn't Get Ps3 First-Party Exclusives. ROFL............haha, otherwise they look like FLOPS.

Good luck next time mart.

[Llort]

*Not trolling*

Killzone 2 > All of Xbox 360 Games combined.

The graphics alone make you wonder why you have an Xbox.

[lokiroo420]

Mart atxboxqueens, is it hard to type with a foot in your mouth?

[ultimolu]

I hate to say this Mart but your comments are just...retarded.

I'm sorry but they are.

Tekken 6 is being developed on the PS3 first. The 360 is getting the port version. Which means that developers will ahve a hard time portingt it to the 360.

That reminds me of another certain game...

[gambare]

Uh? sorry... I was busy checking the new multiplat ip for the PS3 dead rising and see how the 360 fanboys are crying for the soon to be multiplat mass effect, sad how the 360 had no exclusives IPs

[Magic_The_Celt]

And developed for both equally PS3 comes out on top :)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Mart...

That doesn't sound like you. Even YOU aren't dumb enough to think the 360 is more powerful than the PS3.

[Man_of_the_year]

LOL good job - you sure stirred up the droids with those true comments. Look at them gather around you - like the borg. The collective mind has spoken.

[free3sixty]

Street Fighter 4 > Tekken 6

Capcom gets my money this gen. First SF4, Dead Rising2.. even lost Planet didnt diappoint me, all great games. And i also believe RE5 will be great.

Capcom is just fine.

[DarkSniper]

PLAYSTATION®3 will undoubtedly hold host to the superior version of Tekken. With it's rich history, Tekken 6 will look to be a true next generation fighter when being powered exclusively for PLAYSTATION®3. This further confirms the reassurance that when it comes to developers realizing their true potential of gaming, PS3 is the only way to go.

Also this further shows claim to proof that development on the Xbox 360 version has not even started. Which is the sole factor of the long delay. This in turn ruins the gaming experience that gamers could be having at this very moment playing Tekken exclsuively for PLAYSTATION®3. It's good to know that Sony has at least beaten Microsoft in their own game by delaying the release date of Alan Wake so Remedy games can get the code running on PS3 architecture.

Microslaves, do not look surprised when Namco makes the official announcement that Tekken 6 for XBox 360 will be cancelled due to development contraints and restrictions. Only PS3 contains the tools needed to ensure this game is released at an insurmountable quality.

Besides, Tekken is a fighting game Microslaves wouldnt know what to do with since they're too delusional to have enjoyed the other 5.

$niper

[hazardman]

I am getting Tekken for my PS3..the controller is much better for fighting games..hopefully they'll give the PS3 version some DLC..I think it's only fair since the franchise has been eclusive to the PS brand..

[Kratos19]

Namco are bastards. They should have released it on the PS3 as soon as possible and then done the 360 port later. Not make the Tekken fans wait even longer for the game.

[Sitdown]

with that if they threw more stuff into the 360 version?.....or of like what Sega did with Virtua Fighter.

[Kratos19]

In all honesty, I think I'd still be pretty pissed, lol.

[Sitdown]

understandable.

[jetlian]

the normal t6 this is T6 br which has 2 extra characters

[killzone2flop]

All Tekken games are sh*t but i'll still get it for Xbox360 so the sales are good for Xbox360 and return it next day.

[rucky]

I gotta admit that's a pretty pathetically hardcore thing to do pp

[Magic_The_Celt]

Lmfao

see its this kind of thing which proves your a complete idiot

you buy the game, thats 1 sale, you return the game, and its now up for pre-owned, now when someone buys that pre-owned game the only people making profit is the store, since its the same game

so you doing that would be 1 sale, if you didnt and someone bought the game new it would be 2 sales, what your doing is reducing sales

Lmfao, so yeah go do it

but we all know you talk sh*t, why dont you just tell us your GT pp? and we can see that you buy about 3 games a year, i guess it takes a while to save up pocket money :(

[shamv]

Say what you want but this game looks awful with last gen engine.

[Ju]

"what you want"

[boodybandit]

Good 1 Ju

[aaron5829]

Say what you want...

[Aclay]

The only thing that I'm really worked up about when it comes to Tekken 6 is not the game coming to the 360, but the fact that it was delayed almost a year just so it could coincide with the 360 release because Tekken 6 was supposed to come out around Dec. 2008 or sometime around that time frame.

After reading the interview, I guess the PS3 will have some kind of exclusive content or it will be the better version because it was built from the ground up on the PS3, and we all know how good games look and run that are built up/optimized for the PS3(KZ2, Uncharted, MGS4, FFXIII)

I'm not a fan of Tekken games and I'm not a fan of Fighting games in general, but I might get it just for the sake of having a next-gen Fighting game in my collection.

[kingfury]

i cant stand u xbot bi*chmade clowns for delaying my tekken 6. i swear if i go in ur house and i see an xbox in it, im shooting up the place and takein everybody out with me

[Asuka]

*remembers good old Tekken 2 days* can't wait for Tekken 6

[jcgamer]

the point is, Tekken 6 is coming to both the PS3 and 360, regardless of "challenges" involved in porting it to the 360...Gabe Newell, step your game up! LOL

[Cajun Chicken]

This is Tekken people. Tekken is good, I like Tekken. Thinking strongly about it, I have nothing wrong with Tekken jumping multi, I just hope us Sony faithful get something in return for the wait.
I guess the most annnoying thing is that I heard Tekken 6 was pretty much already on PS3 based hardware, so porting down is taking more time for Namco.

Still anyway, I love Tekken. Paul Phoenix FTW.

[FinalomegaS]

yup, the hair gel ftw lol

great counter and 1 hit ko moves.

[Cajun Chicken]

I like his end movies too, so stupid. Like the one where he gets a parking ticket or the one where he defends Earth from aliens. Fantastic.

[darthv72]

Seems only right to keep the ps3 as the lead for tekken 6. Namco knows that by doing it that way ensures a great title for both platforms. If the 360 was lead it would only mean the ps3 port would almost certainly end up like other 360 lead ports.

It has been stated before, ps3 lead means 360 port to be the same. 360 lead means ps3 port to be crap.

everybody wins (except wii-ners)

[FinalomegaS]

"Namco-Bandai wants to give an incentive to gamers out there who haven't been able to check out the game in the arcades, and will be packing in some additional content for the home version. Though it wasn't said specifically what will be included, it was mentioned that it'll be content beyond what'll be present in the Bloodline Rebellion, which is an update to Tekken 6 arcade featuring two new fighters. " IGN

that was the only extra i could find at the time PR.

But hope full for more stuff.

[FinalomegaS]

You're right, but tekken does have a following =/

I don't really know why they are holding it back, maybe the extra content?

I'm more SF fan, tekken did one thing SF didn't. 3D fighting with no projectile ( exception of course to certain toons).

[Danja]

im a huge Tekken fan ..im gonna get Tekken 6 when it comes out but making it's core fan-base wait another year just to port the game to another system is crap...plus is this extra stuff free ?

[Droid Smasha]

another Waitstation exlusive lost. is this news?

[gambare]

nope, but dead rising coming to the PS3 and looking how the 360 is losing every exclusive IP is fun

[Droid Smasha]

compare how many games sony lost to m$. then cry a little moar

[gambare]

mm.. final fantasy was released on the original Xbox so it wasn't a surprise to see FFXIII coming to the 360, and tekken to the 360 wasn't really something "smashing" with soul calibur 4 there was one in the original xbox too with the spawn version, but you tell me, how many 360 exclusives have M$ lost to sony? there wasn't a big loss of exclusives because many titles weren't exclusives, microsoft managed the GTA on the PC versions, remember? oh... and there was already one for the original xbox.

so... if you are "proud" of the "exclusives gained" by microsoft you have to look back and see that those weren't true exclusives. the true exclusives are from first party companies, not from third party companies and M$... wew.... is a software company that buys software so... make your guess.

almost forgot... FFVII and VIII was already "touched" by microsoft on their PC versions

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/...

so your "WOOOO ANOTHA LOST 3XCLUSIVE FROM SONY!!11" its just BS

[Droid Smasha]

if this is true. then in the HISTORY of videogames a exclusive has never been lost. please shutup and gtfo

[gambare]

I don't see a Starfox or a Jack and Daxter on xbox. Case closed.

[Droid Smasha]

Just like I can't find Halo or Zelda on ps3. U fail

[Kratos19]

Good, hopefully it's terrible on the 360. Damn console made everyone wait an extra year for the game.

[ApocalypseShadow]

tekken 3 was the last tekken i truely enjoyed.tekken 5 on my hard drive is good,but that feeling i had playing tekken 3 is not present when i play 5.

tekken 6 just looks like a poor attempt.when it was announce in 2005 at E3,i expected greatness with next gen.then namco released ace combat,soul calibur,ridge racer and i thought:

"this company is losing it."

the guys that made urban reign should have stepped up to make the next tekken.really take the series forward.but the new tekken doesn't look any different except for graphics upgrade.but just look at the fun of UR:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

the guy is right about the same backgrounds and same enemies,but the gameplay rocked.deepen the gameplay more and this game would destroy tekken.or lose the story and put the game on PSN and XBL for multiplayer mayhem.

but tekken needs help.

EDIT:forgot my favorite videos

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

apocalypse...............(i have the game)

[Danja]

Tekken 3 still remains my fave game in the franchise also...

but tekken 5 was great also....

[Foxgod]

I am going to buy the street fighter fight pad for the xbox 360.
I am sure that controller will do fine for Tekken 6 too.

[Mindboggle]

Well you play street fighter and see if you still wanna buy Tekken 6 on 360. Why would you buy an "Inferior" Version anyway. Doesnt make any sense.

[WIIIS1]

LOL @ Mindboggle! C'mon, where have you been all this time?? Surely you must know which version has ALWAYS proven to be the inferior one!

Good choice Foxgod. I already got the VF5 fighting stick for the 360 (VF5 > Tekken imho, and VF5360 >>> VF5PS3 as a matter of fact), so I'm really thrilled about getting SFIV on the 360. I can't imagine ANY serious gamer using D-pad to play fighting games, but N4G isn't really a place you'd find too many serious gamers at 'cos they're mostly PS3 fanboys.

[Mindboggle]

Im not a PS3 fanboy im just staing the fact that the 360 version is a port a game that has been optimized for the PS3 cell. Even the lead designer said its going to be a challenge(or was it struggle..cant remember) to port the game over to Xbox 360. And the PS3 version is what they are concentrating on. Then they will port it. Same with final fantasy.

Games which have had shoddy ports really only were in the first 1 half years with most games now being indentical. Take for example COD4,5,GTAIV,Prince of Persia, Resident evil 5, Mirrors Edge, Fear etc. Theres only a few real bad cases. Back to subject..

Unless you have an arcade stick there is no reason to buy it for the 360 if you have both consoles. Same with all fighting games.

And the only reason VF5 was better on 360 was it was an updated version of the game, with online play. Technically it was the same.

[ilkercruiser]

Just remember what happened when Virtua Fighter 5 ported to Xbox360

VF5 Ps3 : %86
http://www.gamerankings.com...

One Year later
VF5 Xbox360: %89.4
http://www.gamerankings.com...

On Xbox360
*Better Graphics with FSAA
*Online support without lags
*Extra content and mods

[magicman0]

your right but the only difference
Released one year later
Wait... 360... no lag... this is all new to me. if tekken uses psn dedicated servers, there will be no lag.
plus, namco themselves are saying the ps3 version will be better than the 360 version, because this is downgrade porting we're talking about here(no offense xbox).

[Zorik4]

And look at Soul Calibur 4
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

----------------------------- --------------
I might as well get this out in the open from the start. Soul Calibur IV is stressing Xbox 360 in ways Namco-Bandai has been unable or unwilling to match on the equivalent PlayStation 3 code. For one thing, the game is running internally with a whopping great 40 per cent resolution increase on the Microsoft console, with a native framebuffer of 1365x960 versus the standard 1280x720 on the PlayStation 3. The Xbox 360 version also has an extra layer of lighting effects completely absent on the PS3 game - though the effect is rather subtle. They only manifest in the form of a touch of bloom and a good old-fashioned lens flare mostly apparent on the pre-fight animations
----------------------------- --------------------

[XDF]

you said "Well you play street fighter and see if you still wanna buy Tekken 6 on 360. Why would you buy an "Inferior" Version anyway. Doesnt make any sense. "

Hori Stick say Hi. You know only casual and whinning PS3 fanboys play fighting game with a dualshock control pad. Grown men play with a joystick. There is no and, it, or but about it.

I will get it on 360 of course because of Live, achievement and most likely an exact or better port even if the PS3 was the lead. I had played Tekken 6 in the Arcade and the graphics ain't all that technical. On par with VF5 at the most.

Just laugh at the PS3 fanboys because they will use any advantage they can get to make the PS3 seems superior. LMFAO

[magicman0]

why would u get it because of live and risk the lag. Remember psn's dedicated lag free servers.
there's also something called trophies.
A better port? Read the article. “The game was programmed on PS3 architecture and specifically designed to make full use of the Cell’s SPU. So it’s going to be a big challenge to bring the game to the Xbox 360" Not to sound fanboyish here, but sounds to me like a downgrade.

[dawq112]

is the stupidest move ever. like seriously

[dustgavin]

That has got to be a hurtful blow to the 360. Still, it is cool that more people get a chance to enjoy this awesome fighting game.

[dustgavin]

It is going to take a while to lower the textures and effects for the 360 version.

[Magic_The_Celt]

Tekken is pretty crappy

i recently downloaded tekken 5 DR online on PSN, what garbage.

[dustgavin]

That is actually a pretty cool game.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'll take YOUR copy!!!

[Magic_The_Celt]

^ Meh, im not really into fighting games usualy so im probably a little biased

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Who's going to want to play with the 360 controller anyway?

[xg-ei8ht]

ilkercruiser

That's correct i remember it.

But i also remember a certain Console being hard to program for.

Oh well, that time has ended.

I'll be too busy with KZ2, then RE5, then Uncharted 2 to care.

[Maywell]

sorry, with that kind of controller, there's no way I play this great fighting game on 360.

everyone who play 360 knows how bad the d-pad is.

the sales on 360 will be low.

[magicman0]

and you'd think they'd make the d pad a little better after making everything else on it better.

[XDF]

sorry, with that kind of controller, there's no way I play this great FPS**cough, KZ2, cough**, game on PS3.

everyone who play PS3 knows how bad the left thumb stick and triggers are.

the sales on PS3 will be low.

See what I did there. At least I get a choice to use a superior Fighting stick. :)

[magicman0]

ps3 controller is not bad... its just not as nice in your hands as a 360 one is. On the other hand, playing a fighting game on the 360 is bad because the d-pad is poorly designed. This is especially evident when I notice a lot of people playing COD4 who try to activate their UAV but turn on their night vision instead.

[WIIIS1]

Playing complex fighters with any D-pad is just insane. You'll get a sore thumb in no time. Fighting stick is where the action is at.

[xino]

Who gives a damn!
Now I can finally play Tekken games on 360. And we can now see DOA games on PS3.

DOA2 was on ps2, so what's the problem?

[jetlian]

the part where he says its inferior. all he says was its gonna be a challenge. l bet 360 comes out on top! any takers? this is gonna be another shining moment in 360 history

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

Very Skeptical especially sense no fighting game needs SPU's,or bluray to do anything but run a boring background and 2 character models??
What a joke Fughgking Namco!!!
F.U!!!!
Kiss my ass for taking a backwards approach for profits first!!!

You should of!: utilized the BLuray disc and Streaming the SPU's and created a multi-tier fully realized physics environment! and add all kinds of amazing background integrative effects and levels and try to do it at 1080p!!
But NO!!

You go and make a cheap as portable PC360 like game engine, that supposedly is for SPU!! BS !!!!!
more like shovel ware engine port of the last Gen engine!!!!!!!

Go back to School you lame ducks your software dev has fallin way behind ..except for Metal Gear no other Jap-Devlopers are doing anything great??

[JOEdANGEL]

I don't really care for the Tekken franchise. The first one was okay in a time to compete with Virtua Fighter, but as the series progressed, I liked it less and less. The storylines are ridiculous and the combat styles and characters aren't very interesting. For a Namco developed fighter, I'll take Soul Calibur.

[WIIIS1]

I agree with you actually. VF series is just so much better. I'm still playing it on 360 (of course). I'll propbably give Tekken 6 a miss since I also have Soulcalibur 4 and SFIV is coming up.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Doesn't Microsoft have a arcade joystick for Tekken...? DualShock is better than the 360 controller for fighting games, but it isn't the ideal controller.

[DFresh]

The number one reason why people like these types of games on Playstation is that they play much better on PS3 then on 360.
D Pad sucks on 360 guarantee you it's also gonna be the same with other fighting games as well.
ex.) Street Fighter, Dead or Alive 5 (soon), Battle Fantasia, Soul Calibur IV, etc.

I'm getting this awesome game for PS3 hands down.
