Namco Bandai has let us know that the King of the Iron First Tournament is about to begin... again.
Tekken 6 has gone gold, which means it's right on track to make its October 27 release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Outside of what you'd expect from a new Tekken -- updated visuals, a big ol' roster of fighters, etc. -- the game will also has a ton of online features on both consoles.
You've got your usuals "ranked" and "player" matches, as well as leaderboards for everything from versus modes to time attack and survivals modes. The game will also allow you to both upload and download fighter ghost data, so you can either show people how great you are or figure out why you suck.
But what I personally think is the most exciting feature is the inclusion of
Tekken 6's "Scenario Campaign" online cooperative mode. (Note: You can also
play this offline if you have actual friends.) Available in a post-launch update, this mode will allow you to hop online with a friend and beat up AI-controlled enemies in the game's brawler campaign mode. This is the same mode I played and had the chance to beat up a
baby bear cub. Both heart-breaking and totally awesome, that was.
Anyone out there thinking about picking up Tekken 6? I must admit, I'm a bit burned out on the Tekken 6 series, but the idea of a slightly generic 3D brawler using the entire game's roster kind of has my attention. Go figure!

still...i'm going to buy it. I just hope I still have some Tekken left in me.
Will this be part of Friday Night Fights? If so, I'm so down.
I'm buying this for the off-line play, I have many a relative and friend who I play on Tekken with.
That is, I am looking forward to this installment of the series. jiiin kazamaaaa!
I love me some Tekken!
Now that's kinda crazy man. This game's gonna have the most characters in any mainstream fighting series. This game has more features then SF4, KOF12, MK vs. DC and many other games this gen. Being the first Tekken to have online multiplayer & co-op multiplayer, It's definitely worth the full price.
Sadly I think Tekken is one of the titles that's gonna have to wait.
"I love Tekken for it's attention to detail on modeling martial marts moves."
Then you'd ADORE Virtua Fighter.
Really? I haven't played Virtua Fighter in a long time, but I remember it used to have this real spacey feeling when you jumped. I'll check it out though.
Ever since Virtua Fighter 4, they've made a point to include real martial arts in them, going so far as to tag each fighter with a specific style on their bio screen.
Tekken sort of does that, but doesn't make as big a show about it. It also has some nonsense characters like Yoshimitsu, Jack, Devil, and Ogre (which are fun, but if you're looking for realism, Virtua Fighter from "4" on is a good series).
Let the flame wars begin.
Knowing Namco Bandai, that means about 6 to 9 months after launch.
Still picking it up, though. It's still Tekken.
to the KINg of IRON FIst Tournament 6
Can't wait to give it a shot.
