Tekken 6 News Thread (Check here for Updates)

I've taken the liberty to make this thread.


Now instead of making a new thread for every little new info, we can post it here.

I'll start:

Tekken 6 is the upcoming installment of Namco's Tekken series, expected to come out sometime in 2006 or 2007. At E3 in 2005, a teaser video featured Jin Kazama demonstrating some martial arts moves. Jin's skin showed different scars and shades, giving it a sense of realism. Sweat could be seen evaporating from Jin's body and going down his face. At one point, when he touches his flesh, it moves along with the movement of some sweat droplets. The video portrayed a similar dynamic look that Tekken has followed over the years; however, no more details were provided by Namco until now.

Namco Bandai Games America has announced the titles it will feature during next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

The company confirmed that it will unveil Ridge Racer 7 and Tekken 6, both of which are in development for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 platform. Ridge Racer 7 is being headed by Hideo Teramoto and Masaya Koyabashi, both veterans of the series, and will be set in the year 2010, with over 200 cars available to drive. Namco plans to include multiplayer options allowing for at least 16 players in one race.

In addition, Namco Bandai is developing Mobile Ops: The One Year War for the Xbox 360, which is based within the popular Gundam universe. The game will allow players to take on the role of a soldier who fights on foot, in vehicles, and from within in a wide array of mecha, both alone or online via Xbox Live.

Also confirmed for E3 is the next iteration in the popular card-battling game Culdcept. While not as well known outside of Japan, the series's first iteration for the Xbox 360 will allow players to take the card battles online, a move that will no doubt broaden the franchise appeal. The series' latest installment is being developed by Omiya Soft, which also developed the Saturn and PlayStation 2 versions of Culdcept, as well as Culdcept Second for the Dreamcast.

"As a recently integrated company, Namco Bandai is excited to demonstrate our new publishing strength within the industry by unveiling our next generation line-up at E3 2006," said Genichi Ito, president and CEO of Namco Bandai Games America Inc. "We are looking forward to supporting the next generation of consoles and being at the forefront of delivering quality content for all gamers to enjoy."

May 8, 2006 - Namco Bandai's short teaser trailer for Tekken 6 doesn't have the presence on the E3 show floor that its competitor Virtua Fighter 5 does (SEGA has a playable arcade unit in its booth, Namco just a 30-second visual spot running on its various plasmas), but fans of the iron fist may still be interested in knowing what the video shows if they haven't watched it on our media page.

The spot begins with a close-up shot of the rich teenager Lili (who looks older now) just barely avoiding a punch from Jin Kazama. As the camera pans towards Jin in slow-motion -- sweat splashing from unknown places -- the action suddenly explodes with a series of fast-paced maneuvers and near-miss kicks before Kazama lands a hard shot to Lili's midsection in slow-mo. As the feisty blonde flies back while regaining her footing, she counters with a punch as the stage's true location is revealed -- it's a rundown cathedral with a huge stained glass window. Sadly, the stained glass window doesn't last long because the Korean Tae Kwon Do artist Hwoarang crashes through the thing on a big-ass motorcycle. Logos flash, Tekken 6 is seen, and the trailer ends.

Right now it isn't clear if the trailer was a target render or a scripted scene using in-game models. It looks "real' enough to be the latter, but without any information or indication of what the scene's true origin is, we'll have to continue to speculate until more footage (or the game itself) comes to light. Expect an update... eventually.

Story

Nothing about the story has yet been confirmed except that it will continue from Tekken 5's storyline. It is possible, however, that it may continue from Jin Kazama's takeover of the Mishima Zaibatsu, as seen in his epilogue in Tekken 5. Though there is also the posibility of Devil Jin being featured. As shown in the Playstation 3 Tekken 6 trailer, the tattoo on Jin's arm glows (like it did in the intro of Tekken 3, where the shade of Devil appears at the end) and also, Jin's eyes glow, again possibly indicating continuation of the Devil Gene.

At last year's E3, Sony floored the crowd in attendance with a brief trailer of what Tekken would look like on the PlayStation 3. The attention to detail was impeccable, with outstanding facial animation, rich skin texture and life-life perspiration. It was exactly what you would expect from a powerful beast like the PlayStation 3.

Tonight, however, was a different story. Yet again, a brief trailer of Tekken 6 on the PlayStation 3 was shown, only now the impact was lessened considerably. Featuring a real time battle between Lili and Jin Kazama, the demonstration of Tekken 6 was graphically, far closer to the current arcade release of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection than last year's graphical orgy. While the animation was crisp and the action as fluid as Tekken has ever been, the texture work and the details on the characters (be it cloth or otherwise) left the impression of a cleaned up Dark Resurrection. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but one shouldn't be having PlayStation 2 launch flashbacks on a night such as this.

That's all I have for now. Hope it'll tide you'll over for a while.

Raven, a mistake is a mistake. It happens to everyone, especially when rumours from all over and misinterpreted leaks are combined to make a list.

While I don't personally use Wikipedia as a source, I've seen some game pages there that easily outstrip information threads on the site -- trusting content so early is risky, but can sometimes be worthwhile.

I applaud Steve for his attempts to go out and get some news. It shows initiative that a lot of members don't have on Neoseeker.

While I happen to be here, I wandered accross this, a wishlist for Tekken 6 from a person off of GameDaily. While not official, I'm sure you all will enjoy reading it.

For those of you in Europe, IGN has stated that the release in Europe will be for October 5, 2007, see here. Unfortunately, though for those in the states no official release date has been stated.

HEI

After being assaulted by jacks, hei wakes up only to find that T5 tournament has already ended. He goes back to his house only to find tekken force waiting for him...

After that T6 tourney is announced and hei find out that jin owns the mishima zaibatsu. Hei become angry and decides to get it all back.



YOSHI

after trying to avenge clan members yoshi goes after bryan yoshi realizes his sword is weakening...Basically his katana is a haunted one and killing villains with it is what has kept it in balance all this time. The haunted katana makes the user crazy otherwise...yoshi realizes that he cant continue using the sword this way and decides to use another sword that SEALS the evil properties of the haunted sword. He then attends the T6 tournament

KAZUYA

He figured out which division of G corp betrayed him and killed them all. Kazuya has now risin to the head of G corp from the shadows. The world is against the mishima zaibatsu and there is a lot of opposition to it. Kazuya can't stand anyone other than himself conquering the world and decides to use G corp against the mishima zaibatsu. The world sees this as a brave action and sees G corp as the messiah. Once Kazuya realizes that G corp is very influencial among people he announces that anyone who captures jin kazama alive will receive a handsome cash reward. Immediately following this, the T6 tournament is announced by the mishima zaibatsu. Kazuya predicted this would happen and begins to laugh histerically.



T5 tournament ended with heihachi missing and the winner being Jin kazama.

Jin kazama becomes the head of the Mishima zaibatsu and begins using the special tekken force units for propaganda and manipulative acts .....eventually people become upset by this and it sparks riots and eventually war among nations.

The world is at war, many nations lose their strengths and the Mishima zaibatsu declares independance as a nation.

Mishima Zaibatu is now conquering places and only G corp stands in it's way. People see G corp as the messiah. G corp offers a huge sum of money to anyone that can bring in Jin alive.

And almost as if someone was waiting for that annoucement, the T6 tournament begins.

Those that want to make a name for themselves, those that want money, those that want revenge.....Many different mindsets gather while the T6 tournament is unveiled."
