Tekken 5 Still PS2 Exclusive

Advertisement (Why?)

Earlier today, several sites reported that Japanese publication Famitsu featured an article claiming Tekken 5 was headed to the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube in 2005. Namco's number one fighting game has been in development for some time, and Namco Japan has confirmed in the past that it would only be arriving on the PlayStation 2.

We checked with Namco Hometek and have discovered that Namco currently has no plans to release Tekken 5 on multiple platforms. While this could change at some point in the future, it's safe to say that the recent reports of Famitsu indicating the Xbox and GCN versions are in the works are false.

Foundation: As something of a treat for players, we’ve decided to make the unlockable multiplayer map, Foundation, available to everyone. Previously, to unlock Foundation, it was necessary to both complete the game and activate a “training event” on the final level. We reckon that was too tough for most, and wanted very much to share Foundation – inspired by our old shoot ‘em up Marathon – with Halo 2 players everywhere. Once you have the autoupdate, you’ll be able to play this rarely seen arena map with anyone you wish. And be sure to try a game of four-team CTF on this map. It's a hoot!

When is it coming out? I remember the days when I used to kick ass at Tekken 3 on PSX.

Looks like chances of looking good graphically have been squashed

If anyone hasnt noticed ps2 has hit the wall graphically and won't improve no matter how hard they work

this is a console, not a PC. You cant improve it in anyway.

(it would be nice tho... if we can upgrade it)

what he meant was since the first games for ps2 they have learned how to take full advantage of the hardware better

ps2 graphics hit the wall when gt4 was annouced

That's as good as it'll get

Graphics are not the most important part of a game, the gameplay is, and that is where Tekken has always shined. Im really looking forward to this.

Will this game ever be designed for PC?

enough of all these sequels already, there should just be one game that has everysingle game fighting character in it. i mean everyone.

snk
SF
Tekken
Virtua fighter
DOA
Soul calibur

yada yada yada

jsut my two cents btw dont pay attention to me

#7.1 forster on 18 Nov 2004 - 11:01

Damn, I read it, now I have to reply on how stupid that sounds. That would mean that you would have to have 2d tekken fighters, or 3d SF/SNK characters. We all saw how helluva poor SF:EX was on the PS1, please dont submit me to anything like that again.... please !

#7.2 King Raa on 18 Nov 2004 - 14:47

it wouldn't nescerscarily (sp...) be poor. the 3d SF game sucked... but there might be a company out there to do it... i reckon they shud try to get the *feel* of the characters from the games into a tekken layout. tekken has the best system, left right punch kick... w00.
