The Japanese Amusement Machine Manufacturers' Association (JAMMA) expo is throwing down in Japan right now in the Makuhari Messe, the same location that will house next week's Tokyo Game Show. The GameVideos gang is on the show floor securing silent clips of games like Tekken 6 in eye-popping obscure-o-vision. video has (No sound)
Join Dave as look back at every Tekken game ever produced, and how Namco evolved the series and the technology over the years.
Sirus Gaming: Tekken 7 will be launching later (tomorrow for US), and it’s time for us to go back to its main predecessors and rank them from worst to best.
Soul Calibur is better than both.
By the way, where the hell is Tekken Tag on this list?
Virtua Fighters is actually better then Tekken. Still, out of all the Tekken games Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 are probably the best in the series. Soul Calibur is still one of my favorite franchises.
Depends if you want an animation movie with ok battles or great fighting game with some animations.
Tekken tag tournament 2 is probably my favourite (still didn't play 7 unfortunately)
Others would be: 5, 3, tag1, 2
Tekken 4 gets a lot of hate, but it has the best story, atmosphere and soundtrack in the series IMO. Sure the gameplay was very unbalanced thanks to the new stuff they tried out but I'd pick it over Tekken 1 any day of the week.
I'd probably agree with the rest of the list, more or less.
Hear hear. I had a lot of fun with 4. The tiered levels were kind of odd, but it's got a chill style.
Tekken Tag 2 is still my favorite though.
I'm a bit lost on the hate as well.
I mean the engine was different but they had to update the game to a new generation. The tier list gets criticism but Tekken 5 also had huge issues with this and doesn't get half the bad mouthing. The aesthetics of the game were wonderful, the sound design amazing, the music very memorable, and I loved their attempt to reduce the cast and keep the roster diverse while pushing the most down to earth narrative Tekken has seen or will ever see.
I think the fact Tekken 4 was so different from the other Tekken's is why I like it the most.
Good points. And at least they tried something new with the stage design affecting gameplay, sure it didn't work out well that time, but I wish they kept at that, I think they were on to something there.
Preach, and the opening of T5 was amazing! Still the best opening in the series. Sucks that it seems they haven't tried to top it.
Was never a huge fan of the Tekken series but I always loved their presentation, characters and cinematics.
The latest one is just all out epic, especially the last battle between Kazuya and Heihachi.
In response the recent UK survey, which shows 1 in 5 Brits would have sex with a Robot - Rice Digital takes a look at the videogame robots they'd most like to sleep with.
SONY would be in a killing spree this SEPTEMBER at TGS
cant just wait for FF13
Kind of looks dull to me, same tired old game with slightly new graphics. I doubt this will be on my to buy list.
AAAAANNNNDDD they brought my boy Eddy BACK! I miss playing Tekken and I'm stoked for 6. Looks Sweet
that fat guy sucks
dark dante, when did they ever get rid of Eddy?? He was always unlockable by pressing either start or triangle on Christie if my memory serves me correctly. And yeah, I agree xionpunk, they were starting to take a few steps in the right direction introducing the likes of Raven, but then they go and bring in some ridiculous character again. Really wish they'd just ditch the likes of all the Kumas, Rogers and all the other ridiculous characters. Take Gon as another example, just what were they thinking? Other than that though, I have to admit its not really looking anything special. Its just regular old Tekken with upgraded gfx. Was really hoping they'd push the boat out on this one and introduce some new elements of play. Oh well, looks like I'll be holding off on getting that PS3 for another while then, maybe MGS will twist my arm. Tekken's still the King of 3d fighters though.
