Quantcast



GameSpot had an interview with Namco at the Tokyo Game Show where it was  revealed that the new Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion will be coming out for the PlayStation 3 AND Xbox 360, Fall 2009. The video interview was taken down, but thanks to the power of YouTube, it’s back for all to see. And as I’m writing this, Microsoft just revealed that the game is coming out for the Xbox 360 at their Keynote taking place right now in Tokyo.

In case you don’t know yet, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion is the arcade version of Tekken 6 with some added extras for the console ports. The GameSpot video shows two of the new fighters appearing in the game, one of which is a new Android fighter that has chainsaws that come out of her arms (so awesome).

To be perfectly honest, I never expected to ever see the Tekken series come out for anything other than the PlayStation 3. Is anyone surprised by this announcement?

In this day and age, I'm not surprised at all. Why limit your returns to just one console's audience? Let's just hope they don't pull any "exclusive" Vader-Yoda bullshit like they did with SCIV.

Tekken on the xbox? I don't believe it. Next you'll tell me Sonic is on a Nintendo.

I'm surprised and unsurprised at the same time. Suprised because it's Tekken on the 360, and unsurprised because it's Tekken on more than one platform in a world where exclusives are nothing.

I’m very surprised by this. I always though Tekken was a ‘hush hush’ sony exclusive, further fuelled by Heihaichi’s inclusion in the PS2 Soul Calibur. By all means though, I am not complaining. Since I currently don’t have a PS3 and the arcade scene is pretty lacklustre over here, I was wondering if I’d ever get my hands on the latest Tekken. I guess that answers my question.

Why be surprised? As long as the games are identical in terms of content and visual presentation I don't care.

At least more people will be exposed to the greatness that is Tekken, but how can you play Tekken on a 360 controller?

Surprised? kinda not.

happy? hell yes. Saves me money if I don't get a PS3 before it comes out. Though after their little press release, I had a small hint of a possible 360 comeover party. Plus SCIV does well on 360.

If it uses the SCIV engine then it's a pretty obvious choice. There aren't any great (VSHG or HRAP) arcade sticks for the 360 yet but the cheaper hori's out for the 360 are still alot better than the 360 pad.

This is awesome, especially for those with only a 360. My only concern is, fragmentation of the fanbase, there might be less people to play with online on both consoles =(.

You can't play Tekken on Xbox! Just try and pull off a 10 hitter, you're more likely to open a portal to another dimension where Tekken is on Xbox. .. wait..

I don't mind the Xbox 360 getting Tekken. This day and age nothing is sacred. What do I mind is that Tekken 6 has been delayed for ANOTHER FUCKING YEAR!!! SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK??? I understand if you need to accomodate for the Xbox 360 and the new update, but it shouldn't take a whole fucking year? Why couldn't they just release the goddamn game as it is, and have Bloodline Rebellion available as DLC later?

If it's not published by Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft.....it shouldn't surprise anyone.

LOL, Dan Citi is such a whiny bitch. Tekken is crap now because it's multi-plat? You fail, hard.
