Tekken 8 first trailer: The Mishima family still kills each other!

Tekken 8 first trailer: The Mishima family still kills each other!

, , , , , 7

Tekken 8 is coming to PlayStation 5. This game has been in development for years, and we finally get a sneak peek. Unlike Tekken 7, I just remastered the models of returning legacy characters. Kazuya Mishima and his son Jin Kazama got from scratch. No more copy-pasted models from previous games. Legacy characters will be using new models. Jin is noticeably swole than the last game. The first trailer didn’t reveal any information about the roster, but it confirms the Father and son whose favorite bonding time is killing each other.   Tekken 8 Trailer   There is no mention of a time skip for this game, but Jin looks noticeably older. We see this dysfunctional family do what they love the most, Killing each other. This trailer may not reflect what the final product will look like, but the graphics look stunning. With Street Fighter 6 is going for a more realistic route on graphics after being stylized for years. Tekken 8 has no choice but to step it

Reflections of “Symphonia”

Reflections of “Symphonia”

With the release of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (and a special Collector’s Edition) on February 25th in North America, I felt the time was ripe for a reflection of my favorite Tales game of all time. It will be a bit different from the normal type of reflection due to unique circumstances. “Tales of Symphonia Chronicles” is a repackaging of the original “Tales of Symphonia” released for the Nintendo Gamecube and its sequel “Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World” with HD graphics and some new animated cutscenes. It will also have dual audio, a first for North American editions of the Tales franchise, with both the English audio and Japanese audio being included (Namco Bandai has been coy as to whether the English dialogue is being re-recorded or being added to the game due to “unique” dubbing circumstances). My path into “Tales of Symphonia” was decidedly weird. I had always wanted to play the game since the moment of its release but did not get the opportunity to

Namco Bandai is planning to release a demo for Project x Zone on the 3DS eshop in North America June 4th. Previously, Europe had a demo released for their eshop, known as Lethal Surprise, which gave players a chance to try out characters from games such as Sakura Wars, Valkyria Chronicles, Space Channel 5, and Cyberbots. The NA demo is called Imperial Demo and will have the same features as Lethal Surprise. Europe is going to get another demo on June 27th, called Dark Hours and will take place in the world of Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts. No word yet on whether Dark Hours is poised to appear on the North American eshop, but if this recent turn of events is any indication, then it is very likely to appear sometime in the near future. Project x Zone is set to be released for the Nintendo 3DS on June 25th in North America and July 5th in Europe.

Namco Bandai has released a demo for Project x Zone on the EU eshop. The demo is called Lethal Surprise and gives players a chance to use characters from titles such as Cyberbots, Sakura Wars, Valkyrie Chronicles, and Space Channel 5. Also appearing in the demo is a villain from the Sakura War series Ayame. The characters seem surprised that she has yet again returned to confront them; shortly after she summons several monsters to attack your team. Other characters appear to be playable alongside the ones introduced in the demo, such as Ken from Street Fighter and Lindow from God Eater Burst. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtgAK2lwlj0 Project X Zone is tactical RPG developed by Banpresto and Monolith Soft, and published by Namco Bandai.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 update due in October, includes free content

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 update due in October, includes free content

I’ve been keeping a beady eye on Katsuhiro Harada’s Twitter feed since publishing my opinion piece criticising Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s difficultly. Thus far, I’ve seen no evidence to suggest that Namco Bandai’s esteemed beat ‘em up producer intends to issue a patch quashing my beef towards TTT2’s Arcade mode. But (and that’s a big but), he has announced that a title update is in the pipeline – said to bring with it a few delicious treats. As the screen capture below proves, Harada tweeted that the game will benefit from a few extra characters and stages, online enhancements and new customisation features on October 9th, presumably across all territories and platforms.  Last week we reported that a leaked copy of the tag team-oriented fighter had its disc data mined, unearthing code pertaining to six unannounced characters: Miharu Hirano, Doctor Boskonovitch, Slim Bob, Sebastian, Violet and Unknown. Could they be the characters Harada talks of here? Hopefully so!   UPDATE (Sept 20th, 2012): With reference to the opening paragraph of this post, Harada has

Tekken the p**s: my issue with difficulty in Tag Tournament 2

, , , , , , , , , , 15

Before I begin this opinion piece, let me make one thing clear: I love Tekken. Katsuhiro Harada’s beat ‘em up is the reason I bought a Sony PlayStation instead of a Sega Saturn, the reason I took up martial arts, and the reason my teachers rarely received my homework on time. From the moment I performed my first 10-hit combo at the age of ten, I was hooked. Consequently, I’ve purchased every instalment across all three PlayStation generations, become at least competent with every character, and taken part in a variety of official tournaments. In brief, I’m pretty handy. When Namco Bandai unveiled the console version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, I was giddy with glee. The original Tekken Tag Tournament on PS2 was an excellent title, chock-full of game modes and unlockable content, and thus I was really looking forward to losing myself in its sequel, reacquainting myself with my favourite fighters and experiencing TTT2’s evolved tag mechanics. Alas, I am sorry to say that after a few days
