Although the home game is going to be
conspicuously absent from E3, the
Tekken 6 arcade cabinets have already begun rolling out in Japan, resulting in the above shakeycam extravaganza, and an additional two which lurk after the jump.
First impressions? Well to be honest, while the video quality is less that great, it'd take a
Super Hi-Vision hologram display beamed directly into my brain through a metal spike jammed into my eye to get my pulse raised over
Tekken these days. I'm not saying that
Tekken 6 is necessarily going to be a bad game. In fact there's every chance it'll be just the opposite. It's just that with so many
new and interesting games coming out this year and next, and
Virtua Fighter 5 on the way, another
Tekken sequel is a couple of spaces above
Halo 3 on the list of games I really do not need in my life.
Still, between
the last trailer and these videos it looks to be a solid next-gen iteration of the series and it's bound to find a massive fanbase regardless of my curmudgeonly protests, so hit the jump for the rest of the videos and check out the gallery for a couple of photos.

Disgusting..
Also, generic cocks.
I remember when playing Tekken used to be fun, though, I'll never be completely happy with Tekken at all until they put Gon back in.
Tempus, I second that. Tekken 3 was the best!
Is this because Tekken 6 is a PS3 exclusive?
Poo! I missed the joke didn't I? Terrible timing always plagues me! Why could I not have stumbled on this fine piece of articleness a few minutes ago?! Why, oh why does this curse pursue me!? Lol Jus' kiddin' with ya guys. But seriously. Tekken games got bad a while back :S Meh.
Tekken is one of the most solid 3D fighters out there, and to be perfectly honest, to everyone out there who is saying "Sigh, not Another one", haven't you got bigger things to worry about like I dunno.. any sequel?
I just don't get why everyone wants gimmicks in their games, the whole drifting into sameness is not the case. It's perfecting and tweeking an already working engine. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last tekken. As for graphics, I agree to an extent; they could be better but remember this is Arcade and by PS3 release theres a good chance the graphics will be ALOT better.
Fanboy out-
At least tekken has some style. Doa is mash the controller until there life is gone.
You know absolutely nothing about fighting games (and games in general) if you just think its mashing buttons
Do you honestly think people who are good at this game are good because of how quickly they can push random buttons and hope to win?
go back to your final fantasies thank you very much.

i bought a ps1 solely for tekken2 and bought a ps2 solely for tekken tag. unfortunately, i dont think tekken6 is enough for me to justify a ps3 this time around.
i'll be waiting for the xbox 360 announcement.
