Tekken 5

Solidus Snake · May 12, 2004

For anyone that cares. Magicbox has T5 pics. I hope to god that Asuka plays like Jun my all time fav.

But LOL at Raven. Or should I say Blade.

Looks like Dennis Rodman to me. But Namco said they are going to freshen up the series and adopt some things from the competition to hopefully make Tekken as successful as Virtua Fighter. Maybe they are just thinking about getting rid of all their shitty characters like that fucking Panda and Robot. Then again, I suppose it could mean better gameplay. If they can do it, I'll be in line to buy it. But I've never cared for Tekken despite all the great games Namco can make, and I have yet to buy a single Tekken game yet. They will have to do a pretty big friggin' make over to get me interested.

If I were the creator of Blade, I'd be looking into filing a copyright infringement suit on Namco

After Tekken 4 they need to do something because Virtua Fighter 4 blew it away 3 times. Original, Evolution, and Final Tuned. I can't wait to see VF5.

Poo on Tekken.

dragonwillow · May 12, 2004

Well, it's fucking pretty. That's it though.

galfordo · May 12, 2004

Meh, I just keep up with the Tekken series so I won't feel like I'm out of the loop.

Reality Check · May 12, 2004

It looks good so far. Namco better make improvements or add new features to the gameplay.

DevilRedeemed · May 12, 2004

say what you will but Tekken character design has always been excellent. Raven is a Blade rip off, but then Blade is an awesome character to rip off. Anyway, ever since Mike Bison was concieved, and Andore/Slash/Axl before him - it has been common practice to do a copy paste. Atleast its done in better taste than that Tetsuo rip in kof 2k1.

How people can pass judgement on a game just by what they see in a few screenshots always amazes me. :oh_no:

Hows about actually playing the game first?

Geeze.

The GFX look slightly better than Soul Calibur 2 (also Namco), nothing breathtaking though... I think I'd wait until the next generation to be really impressed... Here's hoping it plays well though.

Because we've played Tekken games before and know what to expect?

Exactly.

Just give me Ikaruga (scroll down a little). Ah... "Lampshade man"... that's good stuff.

jindo · May 12, 2004

Hopefully the game would have a better balancing between the characters in this one. :spock:

Michael Yagami · May 12, 2004

So, because Tekken 4 was a disappointment you automatically asume that 5 will follow suit?

That's sound logic :oh_no:

How the hell can you compare a fighting game to a vertical shooter? What the hell sense does that make? "Wow, Ikaruga is a great game, Tekken really sucks, huh?" :oh_no:

No shit it's sound logic.

Which would get more positive hype...
Half Life 2 or Gods and Generals 2?

:rolleyes:

And yeah, Tekken sucks just that much, that's why you can compare it.
Hell, Maddox doesn't say anything bad about Soul Calibur, so there's another comparison for you.

Hey, he's Maddox! If anyone can compare a vertical shooter to fighting games and football games, he can!

Honestly, how can you objectively compare a fighting game against a shooter? Where can you compare the gameplay mechanics? You cant. The ONLY reason you think that that review is sound is due to your inherent bias towards Tekken.

LMAO, That has to be the most enjoyment I've ever gotten out of Tekken.

Did you even read the page that I linked? It was a joke, not a comparison.

Tekken 5 may end up being one of the best fighters of all time. Completely new and innovative with even better character design than any previous installment in the series. But the fact that I haven't liked one Tekken game, ever, makes me think it'll be the same case for this new relese.

Well you're a Tekken fan so you're obviously positively biased towards Tekken. And guess what? Recent history shows the odds aren't in your favor.

You got a better argument than that? And answer my question in my previous post.
