@pwnmachine: And this is why its great that current gen consoles have the ability to play your own music over the game's soundtrack, for people just like you:).

I stopped playing console games a long time ago...

Two devil guys fighting a Japanese schoolgirl and a Japanese schoolgirl robot in the Trevi Fountain while a classical dubstep remix plays in the background. You know, Tekken!

I could never get into Tekken Tag due to how fucking horrible the backgrounds look. It always gave me headaches and made my eyes hurt.

Don't worry, you'll probably grow out of that way of thinking. I used to think that way when I was 15, but now I just listen to what sounds good to me, and it feels so good not having to worry about it.

Word, give it time. Or maybe you're just misanthropic.

No matter how awful these characters look, they still do not come close to the hideously hacked together designs of Mortal Kombat. CG never ages well, though.

Also, stop letting little Billy write music for your games, Namco.

If they bring back all the old characters like Kunomitsu, doctor B, Tiger, different jacks ect ect I'll defonatly get TT2.

I just hope they stop releasing it as arcade version where everyone is unloced straight out of the box. I used to love going trough arcade, never knowing who would be unlocked next. I don't care much about online play, so sure, keep it unlocked there, but let me enjoy a little single player fun before I play it with all the charaters later on how its supose to be played: coach co-op!!

I dunno about you guys, but when  I hear "HD", I don't expect the product to look like hot garbage. Also, they haven't said anything about it so maybe it's just me, but the audio quality sounds horrible, like something out of a 3DS game. If this is what a Namco fighting game looks like these days, maybe I should rethink my positive feelings towards Soul Calibur V.

wow they pretty casual in fighting games especially in tekken. kindda remind me of my 9 year old neighbor and 10 year old cousin plays tekken tag 1 back in the days no offense hahahaha.

every average to hardcore/guru of tekken players love the round system where one character of a tag-team goes down means the end of the round.

edit: wow they did 10 hit combo near the end of the vid. that reminds me of myself back in the days. i thought 10 hit combo is the shiet! but these days tekken have online compete with others worldwide.... and.... wtf? got juggled everytime.10 hit cant beat juggle. i start to learn juggle in 6 but i was presart learn juggle in 5. tekken 3 and tag 1 i thought i was the best cause i know every character 10 hit combo. play online in 6 and i was nothing. had to learn heavy juggle. now im like pretty decent. above average.

As an outside observer who has never played a Tekken game, my first impression is that Tekken is super weird.

Tekken 2 was the first game I bought for my PS1. I have not cared about another Tekken game since that time and I don't foresee that changing.

I was in Tokyo last week and I played a load of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in the arcades. It's pretty sweet, there's some great throw combos using both characters.

The game looks graphically sharp, but from an art design point of view this game looks awful! so generic and overcomplicated.

edit: and i'm not a tekken hater, paul is an example of great character design... that hair and that jacket! slick and memorable.

Word, give it time. Or maybe you're just misanthropic.

As a fellow dubstep-cynic, I agree with pwnmachine's sentiment, and I can explain why. Actually, it's not the fault of dubstep as much as that of the people who seem to listen to and enjoy dubstep... From what I've been able to discern from picking the genere apart and figuring out what makes for good dubstep, it sounds like the entire style of music is based on a couple of gimmicks, repeated ad nauseum. All dubstep has to sound extremely similar or it's not "dubstep enough", which makes it feel like the genre started stagnating before it even took off. The only compliments people can give to dubstep is A) That it's filthy, and B) That the drop is phat. Those are the two most important things in dubstep, according to what I've heard from the general audience. And that, to me, sounds like a disasterous way to judge how well a track fits into its clique.
 
Honestly, I find dubstep relatively inoffensive... I'd rather listen to any dubstep than most hip-hop, for instance... But that's far more than I can say for the kind of people who tend to advocate it.
 
(Especially those who seem to insist that dubstep is the hardest, most aggressive electronic music ever made. C'mon. Go listen to some early 90's acid or hardcore and get back to me on that!)

I was eating at a pizza place last night that had an old Tekken Tag Tournament arcade cabinet. I played it, and then remembered that I didn't really like Tekken Tag Tournament very much. :(
 
But they also had King of Fighters '98 (in an X-Men vs. Street Fighter cabinet for some reason), which is maybe the best KoF ever, so it was all good in the end. :)

I hated Tekken 6, but I didn't give it much of a chance so I'll be buying this and trying my best, as I am fan of dem fighting games. Also I'm not one to get giddy for video game girls but those portraits of Alisa and Xiaoyu look fucking good.
