CAG Tekken 5: DR ONLINE Thread! (Schedule your beatings here!)

[MarkMan]

From www.tekkenzaibatsu.com (http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com) !

Word out of Japan is a popular gaming magazine Famitsu has indicated the next game from the Tekken franchise will be none other than Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection on the PS3!? Early reports note that it will be based off the arcade version of the game.

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is said to be a downloadable game and the release date and pricing is yet to be determined. The news snippet also mentioned that the game will feature high definition graphics and a playable Jinpachi.

Modes confirmed are Arcade Mode, Ghost Battle, and Gallery Mode.

More information as it develops!

:)

[FriskyTanuki]

Very nice. I guess it's being released to hold Tekken players over until 6 is done.

[NamPaehc]

Downloadable game meaning you can download it your PS3's hard drive? Or like, downloadable content.

Wonder if it'll have online play.

[hiccupleftovers]

Great. This could have simply done for PS2 or sold as an expansion between $19.99-29.99. It isn't enough that Namco stiffed us Tekken fans and put in on the PSP without a PS2 version as well.

Sounds like a downloadable game to the hard drive from the PS Store. Heh, wonder if we might see more PS2/PSP games given a fresh coat of paint and sold this way? It actually isn't a bad idea, and might be great for games like Shadow of the Colossus which had frame rate problems, or titles like Psychonauts that got overlooked and is now being sold through Steam on PCs.

[MadFlava]

Playable Jinpachi?? Oh no, this could be bad news, he's pretty damn cheap when the CPU uses him, I just pray they tone him down so he isn't too strong.

[Wolfpup]

This is kind of like Tekken Tag Tournament on the PS2. Kind of cool, although I'd rather get the PSP version over the presumably graphically upgraded PS3 version.

[NamPaehc]

Hmm... Wonder if it means it is coming to the PS3, or to the PS Store so you'll need a PS3 to download it to the PSP. Maybe not, since it the PSP doesn't seem to have been mentioned.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm wondering the pricing... my guess is $25 or $30

[MarkMan]

Sony revealed it's pricing structure for PSN content. The highest is equivalent to $14.99. So that's my guess. It is after all based on the arcade version. Which won't have endings or any of the fancy extras.

I checked how big the arcade disc was and it was a whopping 3.59 GB. I wonder what they're going to do.

Why do you say "equivalent to $14.99"? Isn't all the pricing listed in actual dollar amounts?

[The Mana Knight]

It will lack the modes the PSP version has, which is good and bad (good because the PSP version is the best Tekken ever IMO, bad because it won't be as good as Tekken on PSP). Anyway, the news is still good because Tekken DR is Tekken at its best and I'd love to play it on PSP. It blows away everything XBLA has to offer away.
Great. This could have simply done for PS2 or sold as an expansion between $19.99-29.99. It isn't enough that Namco stiffed us Tekken fans and put in on the PSP without a PS2 version as well.Namco already gave PS2 Tekken 5, so PS2 owners weren't left out (just didn't get the extra features DR has). IMO, to release a slight upgrade on the same platform is a waste of time and not worth it (although I feel DMC SE and VF4 Evolution are terrific, they didn't have to be done).

[RelentlessRolento]

this is probably the answer to so many Tekken fans being pissed about the PSP version. I'm happy there's two versions now.

[62t]

I am gussing this version will not have the ending movies. They are not in the arcade version and they take up the most space.

That's why I'm the CAG Tekken Master. :)

I'm very involved in the Tekken community. :)

[RelentlessRolento]

Yeah, of all people on CAG who know about Tekken, Markman is the man... (no pun intended).

I hopefully come in second being an obsessive Tekken freak.

[striker199]

is there a big cag tekken crowd? and where's the high def graphics in those screens?

[MarkMan]

They only released 720P screen shots, no 1080P screens as of yet. It's not going to look super pretty compared to newer games on the PS3. It is afterall still using the same engine based off an overclocked PS2. It's keeping true to the arcade port. So I'm happy with that. Gonna be getting rid of this bad boy:

I'm guessing that's a discombobulated JAMMA rig? It'sa niceee.

Anyway, this news almost makes me regret selling my PS3... oh wait no it doesn't. DR should have came out for the PS2. Same with Alpha 3 MAX.

[GuilewasNK]

That's what I was wondering. There really is no good reason for it not to be there. Those who don't want to use it don't have to.

knowing namco's stance on their AAA fighters going online, it will be primarily a ghost network along the lines of the arcade version of the game... basically Tekken.net

[Thongsy]

I hope it's not like that, and it's fully online. I love Tekken. Good news for all the fighting fans out there, now let's just hope it's fully online capable.

[MarkMan]

It's been confirmed that it won't have online play. :(

Namco and Sega are really against taking their fighters online.

[striker199]

crosses fingers for tekken 6 TRUE online vs

[GuilewasNK]

It's been confirmed that it won't have online play. :(

Namco and Sega are really against taking their fighters online.

For no good reason IMO. They should just include the feature. If people don't want to use it they won't. For people like me, it is hard to find someone to play a game with. If DOA and MK can do it, they can also. It's almost 2007 and there is no excuse not to implement it.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Any development into the online space takes dev time away from tweaking/balancing the core game. They want to make the best, competitive grade, lag-free fighter that they can.

Its not as simple as not using it. It simply being there makes a big difference in how the game will turn out.

You've already got online fighter options such as DOA/MK. Call offline fighters a niche if you want, but I'm glad someone is catering.

The game is already on the PSP. Is there really that much tweaking that needs to been done to the core gameplay? It would be in the PS3s interest that they have something that can compete with DOA in the online fighting arena.

The competitive offline game won't change if you add online capabilities. It's simply a bonus. It will bring in more casual players and raise the profile of the series only higher.

Arcades are dead and there has to be a way of getting human competition besides going to someone elses house (if you are lucky enough to know someone who plays those games). This is why fighters have become a niche market now instead of the premiere competitive genre it used to be.

That fact is that more and more people want online capabilities and they will have to address that. Not having the premiere games for your system online is pretty weak regardless of what reasons one may have, especially since the PS3 is supposed to be a serious competitor with Xbox Lives service now.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Lets take Soul Calibur 3, since I dont know Tekken well.

There are quite a few 1 frame shift moves, where the input window is one frame after the previous input. Lets say there is a variable 1 to 2 frame lag, which isnt a visible change to the eye. Accuracy of pulling the move off drops dramatically.

Similarly, the Window for Just Impact/Perfect GI is extremely small. If its not one frame, then its a few, like 3.

Both on the offense and defensive end, even a miniscule amount of lag will change the way the game is played.

Dark Ressurrection wouldntve even been necessary if they had fixed the game the first time around.

But the point is that with people who are competive (and those frames make a difference), THEY can play offline. The rest of us casual folks need the online. Why penalize us? I don't know anyone else that plays fighting games in this little podunk town I live in except for one guy and our work scedules make it impossible for me to get togther for any games. That is the very reason I bought all my 2D fighters on Xbox. I have the option of playing online (even if there are small frame issues) and then if I want to, I can take it offline without frame issues. Both sides of the argument satisfied.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Lag aside, I still want as much dev time going into balancing as I can get. I think if Soul Calibur didnt have Chronicles of the Sword, or if Tekken didnt have Devil Within, they mightve caught and fixed things like Ivys half screen ring out launcher, Throw cancels and variable cancels in the case of Soul Calibur, or Infinite combos in Tekken.

Fighting games can never, never have enough additional time for tweaking and balancing. It only makes the game better. I dont mind sacrificing accessibility for that, but I can certainly understand your grievances.

Yea online Tekken would be great.. I only have 1 friend that's big into Tekken. And online would sure beat going down to the local Power Gamer, where it's not even a sure thing if there will be people playing. Frame rate problems aside, I would love some good online competition.

[GuilewasNK]

I agree with that. They only way that will change is every character has the same abilities and that would be boring as hell. That works in FPS, not fighters.

[MarkMan]

Yea, I wouldn't mind Tekken online... in fact I play Tekken 3 online still and it's fun from time to time.

The frames thing is very important for COMPETITIVE play, but just have fun with it and it won't be as much of an issue.

And Soul Calibur III... LOL. Namco really should have brought that out to arcades first, regarding balance/gameplay tweaks.

Tekken 5: DR is fine with it's gameplay because it's been out for over a year already(arcade version), I don't see why it CAN'T go online. But I know deep down that Namco just doesn't want that. They've been pretty open about their opinions on bringing their fighting game franchises online.

[RelentlessRolento]

Markman hit it right on the head. Online is good for casual fun, but competitive play it's a no no. too many frame and timing issues...

Online is welcome I feel, but not necessary.

[FriskyTanuki]

Agreed. I'd like to see online play, but it's nothing I'd need. I've got a bunch of friends that love fighting games that I can play Tekken with, so I've got plenty of competition here.

[MarkMan]

Regarding Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection on PS3:

There will be additional unlockables which allow you to download FMV sequences(endings/intros and maybe more possibly) within the game. This is not included in the 800 MB download and will require more download space.

It should be good for all fighting games as long as you can remap the buttons. It does in fact use authentic arcade parts. I'll be getting a pair of these for sure!

[RelentlessRolento]

well on the bright side, we can finally see Dragunov and Lili endings on the big screen.

[MarkMan]

Word on the street. 1/18.

[MarkMan]

I'm still so excited about this. :)

[RelentlessRolento]

I can't be excited until I have a PS3 sitting in my home... at least I can save up the money these comming weeks since the next 2 months will be a dryspell of stuff I want.

[Apossum]

it'll be nice to have this (and VF5) waiting for me when I get a PS3.

no online play is a blow for me, but I've come to expect that from Namco (and Sega.) I don't get the logic though. They invest all that time into all those BS extra modes for the non-hardcore people when a basic online mode would be cheaper and more attractive to that same group.

it would generate a lot of hype with people who don't want to fight the A.I. or their noob friends (who are worse than the A.I.) all the time :)

I may come off dumb, but how does creating online gaming (server maintanence, hiring bugging/network staff) turn out cheaper than making the extra modes (a one time coding during development)?

I still think online would be great, but I still feel people overblow at how important it is. XBL has spoiled people with online so just be happy you have the damn game to play :)

i dunno how it would be cheaper. I'm just pulling things out of my ass because I'm half crazy from studying statistics all day ;) I forgot Sony makes companies do everything for their online games, which definitely doesn't help the cause. I might be wrong, but doesn't MS cover all the maintenance for the servers? Perhaps I could go one further and say the game should be on the 360 for that reason. or die trying.

important it isn't, but it's a better option than 10 novelty single player modes. I will not be happy until I burn down namco headquarters or get a crappy online mode with random frame dropping programmed in and an automatic EO mode for combos. The EO mode can't be toggled off either.

I still prefer all the single player crap, but I do agree with you.

Also, as for costs, it would be cheaper online if it were on the 360, but the PS3, forget about it.

[62t]

it is a port of the arcade version so i dont even see this getting the extra in the psp version.

I don't think so. They seem to just hand off the stuff to the company's servers and then to your own X-Box. At least EA and other companies quit supporting games a year after they come out in some cases. All Microsoft seems to be doing is running an IM client (plus the servers for their own games).

[The Mana Knight]

I'm actually kind of glad Tekken 5 DR is not online.

IMO, online seems like a good idea (because you can play against people all over the world, along with chatting with them), but when you're lagging (racing and some other games aren't bad if there's lag, but lag can ruin a fighter IMO), people drop out (or console freezes), then it's really not all that fun IMO. That was my issue playing DoA4 and other fighters online. From what I've heard from Namco/Sega, the reason for no online play has to do with lag.

[RelentlessRolento]

it is a port of the arcade version so i dont even see this getting the extra in the psp version.


the main difference in this to the the arcade is the downloadable endings and the widescreen, and everyone knows widescreen in fighters is a must.

Sadly, you can't purchase without a Japanese credit card.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD TEKKEN 5: DARK RESURRECTION from Hong Kong PS Network.

Note: Before doing this make sure you have a Visa or Mastercard Credit Card/Debit Card(In some cases you may need 2 cards).

1) Create a new log in on your PS3 system.(Far left of the XMB menu).

2) Sign up for the PS Network(Far right). Make a master account.

3) Fill in all information accordingly, choose Hong Kong as your country.

4) Under street address put in a random number and street name. For region just pick a random one, for example I picked Kowloon/Kowloon Bay.

5) Enter in your billing information, make sure you're accurate!

6) Once you finish setting up your account, go back to the Account Management and add funds to your wallet. What you're going to do now is add 40HKD twice. This will give you a total of 80 HKD. (Why are we doing this? Because for some reason when authorizing the credit/debit cards it will not complete the transaction when authorizing 80 or more HKD at a time;Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is 125HKD). So now that you have 80 HKD. Exit the account management and go into the PlayStation Store.

7) Choose the DL for Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Once doing so it will ask you to confirm and once you do it will show that there is a remaining balance owed of 45HKD. Authorize the transaction and you should be good to go! If it does not work on the PS Store screen you will have to use another card(Edit billing information on the account management screen of the PS Network(Far right on XMB).

Have fun!

I don't want to know how, I want to know how much of it is in English and how much in Japanese.

[Nugzy]

Are there any extra fees for using a different currency like that? Seems like a good way for the banks to screw you.

[DarkNessBear]

Cant wait to download a fighting game.

[whoknows]

If its all in english I'll buy it off the hong kong store...if not, I'll wait for the US release.

[dallow]

It's not all in English. Options menu is all Japanese, and it looked like more than the simple save/load stuff to me.
Check the video posted earlier in the thread bo rolento.

The US version should be out very very soon.

[apokalipze2]

Sucks that there's no online play as I was looking forward to playing Tekken:cry:

[NamPaehc]

You've been looking forward to playing this Tekken, or Tekken in general. Because it has been known for a long while that there wasn't going to be any online play in this version.

I'm happy to see ace software being offered this way. Hope they keep them coming.

[BGPu]

Options & subtitles are in Japanese.

I havent really played tekken since part 3.
But i would buy this for 20 bucks in a second...
As soon as its up at the us store....

There's the exchange rate, which your credit card should handle for you. 40 HK Dollars comes out to about $5.15 US.

So, any idea when this is coming to US? Will they offer a demo before you D/L? (Like XBOX Live Arcade)

That's everyone!

NOTE:

- The scans that show the items do NOT show the items that were available from Tekken 5.0. So the only ones that have pictures are the new items for Tekken 5: DR.

- The item prices in the PS3 version of Tekken 5: DR are all half priced! For example, items listed at 100,000 in the images will appear as 50,000 in the actual item shop.

[RelentlessRolento]

need a ps3 badly... as in I'll kill someone badly.

[pkmn-source]

Anyone willing to share the game and I'll pay half what you paid for the download? Change the password of your account once it's downloaded

PM if interested

[whoknows]

i would guess when Flow and Gripshift are up, they are listed for the 8th.
Speaking of Flow, it's the 8th and it's not up, WHERE IS IT???

[whoknows]

When I enter billing info for the Hong Kong store and it asks for address, it makes me put in something for Hong Kong, what should I do?

[pkmn-source]

put in anything on it. and add 40HK 2 times and 45HK

[MarkMan]

The work around posted here doesn't work anymore unfortunately. :(

[pkmn-source]

Can I download the game through your account and pay half what you paid for it?

The work around posted here doesn't work anymore unfortunately. :(

[dallow]

If anyone is up for the offer and willing to use game sharing, I'll go into it with pkmn-source and pay for the game as well.

[Inf^Shini]

Sounds like a downloadable game to the hard drive from the PS Store. Heh, wonder if we might see more PS2/PSP games given a fresh coat of paint and sold this way? It actually isn't a bad idea, and might be great for games like Shadow of the Colossus which had frame rate problems, or titles like Psychonauts that got overlooked and is now being sold through Steam on PCs.

Psychonauts looked like a kind of goofy, fun game. I always saw it on Cheats! on G4 TV. Never did find it where i looked...odd as that may be...I did want to play it though =/

[mwynn]

Speaking of Flow, it's the 8th and it's not up, WHERE IS IT???
Moved to the 15th.

[MarkMan]

Bump, for great JUSTICE

Still hoping I have a PS3 before release.

Great... I just bought Tekken 5 last week. :|

[RelentlessRolento]

Great... I just bought Tekken 5 last week. :|


don't worry... if it's gameplay you want, get this. if it's content you want, get tekken 5... if you want the best thing in your life, get both.

[striker199]

no price though? I imagine it will stay the same

[MarkMan]

Bump for great justice!

[The Mana Knight]

According to GAF, it comes out on Feb. 26th.

Here's a GamePro article.
http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=98648

The game will be $19.50, from what I'm hearing.

[Thomas96]

I want this game so bad... but I think I might just hold off, and try to get Motorstorm when it comes out.

[MarkMan]

Hey guys, I don't know if this happened to anyone else but... this morning when I played Tekken 5: DR on my PS3 I noticed my Asuka was Tekken Lord Black (final rank) and fully customized... AND.... I never used her at all nor do any of the people that come to my house... what the fuck.

Crazy... has this happened to anyone else?

[NamPaehc]

Updated Impressions Preview. (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/764/764968p1.html)

Heh, what about this?

STUNNING GRAPHICS:The beauty of TEKKEN is re-created at 1080p and optimized for the HD era, delivering one of the most realistic graphics on a handheld platform.

:-s

[Psykodelik]

This is probably a yes but do the ps3 sticks work for this game?

[MarkMan]

Yes the PS3 sticks work.

Also PS2/PS1 sticks/controllers work with proper controllers.

If it's digital only you'll need an Elecom 201 or 101.

If it has an analog signal then you can use any regular USB convertor out there.

[MarkMan]

Sad news is.... word on the street.

Thursday March 1st now.. X_X

Sony updates the PSN on Thursday's so that makes sense.

[Psykodelik]

Thurs is cool with me. More time to play VF:5 and I get paid that day. :D

[MarkMan]

So yea, US T5DR for PS3 got pushed back again... lolol...

[Psykodelik]

Hehe, that sucks. I was planning on playing it this weekend too. I know my friend is really going to be bummed.

[Apossum]

Hay guys when does castlevania come out?

[akito12]

Tekken coming later today for $20. IGN changed date back to today too.

This fall I think, and you wanted the PSP forum I think :)

[NamPaehc]

Yeh, Thursday is the day Sony has been updating the PSN with content so I'm not surprised.

[MarkMan]

NVM, 1st it is !

[H.Cornerstone]

Think this game is worth 20$ to a person who isn't a huge fighting game fan?

[whoknows]

Is it up now?

If so, someone want to share (I buy it, you paypal me half ($10) and I give you my account so you can download it)?

[apokalipze2]

It's not up yet. If you want I'll go half on the game with you.

[whoknows]

It's not up yet. If you want I'll go half on the game with you.
Alright, cool. I'll PM you the details later tonight then.

[RelentlessRolento]

post personal reviews as soon as it's up... I want to envy everyone...

[MarkMan]

It's good.

:P

[RelentlessRolento]

It's good.

:P


:lol: don't make me cry >_<

is the Jap version almost identical to the US other than performance upgrades, gameplay tweaks, and graphical fixes?

[DomLando]

Is it up now?

If so, someone want to share (I buy it, you paypal me half ($10) and I give you my account so you can download it)?
Wow I did not know you can do that. So if I download it my friend would have to sign in on his PS3 on my account and he will be able to download it without paying?

[whoknows]

Wow I did not know you can do that. So if I download it my friend would have to sign in on his PS3 on my account and he will be able to download it without paying?
Thats right.

Can be redownloaded up to 5 times I think.

[gregthomas77]

i must be stupid, but i don't seek it available for download

[whoknows]

i must be stupid, but i don't seek it available for download
Not up yet apparently. Probably later tonight.

[MarkMan]

Out now.

[Psykodelik]

Out now.

Boo. Beat me to it. :D

[apokalipze2]

Alright, cool. I'll PM you the details later tonight then.Cool8-)

[Ahadi]

Any impressions yet? Worth the $20?

[Pootie Thang]

I am 78% done with it now, I will let you all know what it's like in an hour

[The Mana Knight]

I downloaded as soon as it went up. Shockingly, it didn't take long at all. I played through arcade with Law and Yoshimitsu. Lots of fun. :)

[rodeojones903]

Downloading now.

[Pootie Thang]

I am 78% done with it now, I will let you all know what it's like in an hour

DONE 100%

[reiji]

Grr...my download has been going for about an hour and it's at only 35%. Guess I need to find something else to keep me busy for a while.

[screwkick]

Anyone here running this in 1080i or p? How does it look? I'm on the fence right now with a purchase.

[lmz00]

It's okay. Took forever to download too, but oh well.

[millrat1030]

Looks good, not great. Tekken is still the king of fighting games in my book. I downloaded it in less than a hour, which is about how long a 555mb torrent takes me. VF5 looks alot better, but I still think Tekken's gameplay is better.

[H.Cornerstone]

So is it worth 20$?

[millrat1030]

I think it's well worth $20. I know it's a year old game, but think of it as buying a greatest hits title.

[H.Cornerstone]

I think it's well worth $20. I know it's a year old game, but think of it as buying a greatest hits title.

Touche. I will download after flow.

[RelentlessRolento]

Touche. I will download after flow.


I'll be downloading it after i can afford a PS3 which will hopefully be soon.

[Apossum]

I'll be downloading it after i can afford a PS3 which will hopefully be soon.


1 word: gointodebtyoupussy! only real american manly men do it /good advice

[Pootie Thang]

DONE 100%

I usually don't play many fighting games. I usually only play Tekken and Virtua Fighter occasionally. I have got to say that this game is the most addicting fighting game I've played in quite sometime. They're taking a page from VF with the entire character customization and the ranking up. The graphics also look really good in 1080P. It's not the best ever but it still looks good. From my perspective this is well worth the $19.99.

[mik]

Yup. Fun to play, fairly pretty--worth $20.

[177adjen17]

same here...very well worth the $20..... any 1 know if there's more content coming to the gallery section or at least more items?

[doubledown]

How big is the download? Any demo of it to try?

[dallow]

How big is the download? Any demo of it to try?

Local arcade and/or PSP.

[Ahadi]

Alright, I'm sold on this now. Thanks for all the "this is worth 20 bucks" comments. I'll be downloading it at some point today.

[doubledown]

I'd rather pay $20 for a greatest hits game with a case and disc....I feel the price is a bit high for a shiny PS2 game.

[Apossum]

I'd rather pay $20 for a greatest hits game with a case and disc....I feel the price is a bit high for a shiny PS2 game.


If you like Tekken, the price is fine.

[doubledown]

If you like Tekken, the price is fine.

Hoenstly, never played it....that is why I wish they had a demo (like all XBLA games you can download).

[Wolfpup]

If you like Tekken, the price is fine.

It would be fine if not for the DRM. $20 is really pricey for something tied to one system.

(Regardless I'd rather have the PSP version once it's a Greatest Hit anyway-I'll take portability and the extras over presumably even better graphics.)

[Ahadi]

So about how long did it take for you guys to download the game? I've been at 1% for about 12 minutes.

[DomLando]

I just started downloading mine it's going at an ok speed. About 33% in like 10 minutes.

[plastikpyro]

it took me 45 minutes to download the game yesterday, the server must've been slammed. man this game is awesome!

[H.Cornerstone]

Took me ~hour, howeve,r for 20$ good game, finally have a game that me and my friends can play if they come over.

[Togepy]

Anyone willing to share this game for a share of flow? PM me.

[cheapmonkeyz]

I'm loving this game. I played it all the time on the psp. With the fighting stick its even better control wise. Totally worth the $20. It would have been nice to have the extras like the psp version but i'm still glad i picked it up.

[Apossum]

Took me about a half hour to DL once I got going. That's not including the hour and a half I spent trying to get into the PSN at my parent's place.

Just to get connected to the PSN, I had to move a cable modem into the room and plug the PS3 directly into it. it hates my router and my laptop (I swear, I triggered all the right ports, forwarded them, turned on DMZ, put the right holes in my firewall, tried different DNS...every single trick in the book. nothing.)

I hope they do something that makes it a little easier to sign on.


Okay, Sorry to go so OT!! Tekken rules! though it definitely feels a bit wonky after playing so much VF5.

I've had the same problem with my wireless router, I wired it to a port, and downloads always stayed at 0%, so I decided to try wireless and it DL'd fine. Somethin' funky I'd say :-k

Hence why I think you should be able to do it all through your computer and then transfer it via usb or dvd-drive, like updates.

[Ahadi]

I've had the same problem with my wireless router, I wired it to a port, and downloads always stayed at 0%, so I decided to try wireless and it DL'd fine. Somethin' funky I'd say :-k

I'm having the opposite problem as you. At least I think I am. Mine won't download wirelessly, so I'm thinking a bit later today I'm going to wire it right into my modem and see if that helps.

[H.Cornerstone]

Only two play modes and only one boss in arcade mode is kind of lame..... but other than that.. good game.

[infamyRISE]

Is there a practice mode in this?

My purchase rides on the answer!

[MarkMan]

It is an arcade port, no practice mode.

[Diesel151]

I can't add $$$ to my PSN Wallet beause my CC address (location) is invalid/not accepted.. This suck big time.. :cry:

I've been a huge Tekken fan since the start.. and actually still own all Tekken games released on PS1 and PS2.. even Death by Degrees.. ;)

I don't have the 5 cause I had been debating wether to get it on PSP or buy it once it made it over the US store.. but until Sony fixes this "glitch" or finally releases the long waited "Playstation Cards".. it seems that I'm SOL.. :censored:


Can anyone help me out on this?.. I'm not a freeloader so rest assured that we can work something out..

Check your CC statement and make sure it's perfect, spaces and all. some places are anal about getting your address *perfect*

[ashram]

mine took 2 hours to dl... which is strange.... to test sony's dl speed before before i bought the game, i downloaded the same file (which can be dl'ed from the same sony server for a "non-legit" install, but the install doesn't work anyways) from sony on my pc and it took FOREVER on my work connection.... which peaks at 20 MB (yes, MB) down. it took about an hour and 20 min for it....

[PhrostByte]

You guys think Tekken will ever be released on 360?

[Diesel151]

Check your CC statement and make sure it's perfect, spaces and all. some places are anal about getting your address *perfect*

Nah.. I tried it all.. the simple problem is that my credit card is issued by a bank located here in Puerto Rico.. and that country happens to NOT be accepted by the PSN... :cry:


.

[Diesel151]

Soooo...how's Death By Degrees? ;)


HahaHa.. well if you have ever read a review about the game.. then pretty much you should know whats not to like about it.. :lol:


In general I say it's an OK game (7.5/10).. story wise I liked it a lot.. really ties in into the whole Tekken story.. at least regarding the Nina/Anna Williams side of it..

Graphics.. as in Tekken games.. are superb.. cinematics are awesome..

Control.. I'd say it's innovative.. to a degree I'd say it gets addictive.. if you get the groove of how some attacks flow.. same as linking combos in Tekken.. if you know how.. it's great.. if you repeat the same moves over and over.. it gets old really quick..

At least every Tekken fan should rent it once or twice.. Replay value is not so great.. cause once you finish it and learn to master the moves and everything else.. then pretty much that's it..

And the camera get's a bit frustrating at times.. same thing that happened when playing the "Tekken Force" mode on Tekken games.. sometimes the angle was really off.. other times the camera moved to a place where it screwed you over..


Long story short.. if ya liked Death To Rights.. give this game a try..

In general I say it's an OK game (7.5/10).. story wise I liked it a lot.. really ties in into the whole Tekken story.. at least regarding the Nina/Anna Williams side of it..

Graphics.. as in Tekken games.. are superb.. cinematics are awesome..

Control.. I'd say it's innovative.. to a degree I'd say it gets addictive.. if you get the groove of how some attacks flow.. same as linking combos in Tekken.. if you know how.. it's great.. if you repeat the same moves over and over.. it gets old really quick..

At least every Tekken fan should rent it once or twice.. Replay value is not so great.. cause once you finish it and learn to master the moves and everything else.. then pretty much that's it..

And the camera get's a bit frustrating at times.. same thing that happened when playing the "Tekken Force" mode on Tekken games.. sometimes the angle was really off.. other times the camera moved to a place where it screwed you over..


Long story short.. if ya liked Death To Rights.. give this game a try..



.


I played through it and it's... meh. I beat it to the end and nothing was that great other than stuff for Tekken fanatics. The anna stuff and Tekken force were the highlights.

You guys think Tekken will ever be released on 360?

I hope so...

[Diesel151]

I hope so...


Sooner or later it will happen.. but I sure would like to keep it "exclusive" on the PS family..

Why?

[Diesel151]

Why?


Well I don't have an exactly "good" reason.. but pretty much is a thing of "tradition".. I'd say that over the years the NAMCO + PS partnership has paved the way for some really amazing games and series.. incluiding Tekken, Soul Calibur, Ace Combat, Tales of.. (rpg series), Xenosaga, Ridge Racer.. and a whole bunch of their other great arcade games ported to PS..

And really I just haven't seen the same quality of games out on the other consoles.. and if things are fine the way they are.. why mess with it?.. I'd say tnat in a way.. is like seeing NAMCO as a SCEI Subsidiary Division.. ;)

Wouldn't you rather have more people have the chance to play the awesome games though? Tekken is the only reason I haven't decided between 360 and PS3 yet. :\

That's a good and valid point.. and shure it would be awesome if more people shared the experience.. but it is like a double-edged sword.. I dunno bout how you all take it.. but I can't shake off that feeling of losing "exclusivity".. then what would happen?.. if Halo, Mario and Zelda cross-platformed?.. would it be better?.. worse?.. what woud happen to the good ol' console wars?..

Well, it would be bad for competition. But... all the games you listed are propriety franchises. Namco released SC2 on all 3 systems and I'm guessing it did a lot better than SC3.

[MarkMan]

Exclusivity is dead or near dying these days... most major franchises are multi platform in some way.

I hope Tekken goes this way as well. :)

depending on how close this is to PS3 hardware will probably determine it. Personally, I wouldn't mind if it jumps to 360... I just want more arcade sticks then since the pad sucks ass.

[MarkMan]

More arcade sticks!!!

[jmillion]

so im guessing alot of people play this online alot? i been dying to get it but wanted to be sure. how is the flow? good? no lag?

[notorious_pip]

There are a good number of people playing this game all the time.

Lag's not perfect but varies on distance from your opponent and both your connections. Even on the best connection you should expect a couple of dropped frames.

[RelentlessRolento]

I still wish this was as smooth as VF5s online, but that's coming in T6 so I can wait... kinda.

Details and overview of the update.

[RelentlessRolento]

I like the update. I oddly like the most that when you see someone enter a game room while a session is going on, it shows their rank now.

[metaly]

Does voice chat still cause a lot of lag?

[RelentlessRolento]

Does voice chat still cause a lot of lag?

yeah, since when did it not?

[metaly]

I was just curious if they had maybe released an earlier patch that improved it at all. I haven't played this online in a long time.

[MarkMan]

This game is gaining popularity amongst the CAG gamers now! Practice up just in time for T6!

[RelentlessRolento]

I still have blood stains from last night :)

[Inf^Shini]

I wish this would get a price drop sometime soon D:

[RelentlessRolento]

it needs at least another $10 drop... when that happens I think it'll sell like crazy.

[MarkMan]

Which will be good. Let's hope they don't put it on sale AFTER or like a week before T6 drops lol.
