Forums - Gaming - Tekken 6's Lack of Hype? Namco F'd Up?

I've been to a lot of forums this year including sites that have hardcore 360 and PS3 fanboys, and during this time of year everyone is posting their "What To Get" lists of upcoming games. Among many of them I saw games like Uncharted 2, Ratchet, MW2, Halo ODST, L4D2, AC2 and surprisingly even the Saboteur frequently. However, Tekken 6 has rarely even popped up on anyone's radar and with launch just 5 days away I find it a little disheartening.

So what happened? Well in my honest opinion I think Namco announcing the game as a multiplat game has actually damaged the game's potential market. Tekken was always seen as Playstation's premiere Fighting Series and for the most part thats true. And when it was announced to be going multiplat (And the fact that Namco shelved the PS3 copy so they could work on the 360 copy) has literally sucked away all hype for this game.

Just my 2 cents, what do you guys say?

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I'm not blaming it because of it being multiplat


but I think Namco's just being so loose and overconfident because it's "Tekken" and it's multiplat



 

True I do felt that the best time for Namco to have released Tekken 6 was late last year. This delay has done more damage then good

I agree with what you said 100%

Had this game been exclusive it would have released sooner being as the PS3 version has been done for like how many years already?

Many good fighting games have already been and gone. And people are still waiting for Tekken and it isnt like the last few games have been that good because they have been average.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st
