Forums - Gaming - Tekken 6's Lack of Hype? Namco F'd Up? (Other Thread Broke)

letsdance on 23 October 2009

......if t lost hype because it wentmulti (hich is a stupid claim in itself because it was barely hyped to begin with) ...since it now has 2 times as many users to sell to shouldnt the 360 owners make up for the lost hype? obviously people just arent as excited for it... exclusivity has nothing to do with it.

I'm gonna definitly get tekken 6 but you need to realise. Only about 10% of PS3 and Xbox 360 owners post on forums. Just because forum posters arn't putting it in there most wanted list's. It doesn't mean its gonna do bad. Look at Fifa 2010. Knowbody mentioned that in a list and look how well thats selling

I'd say that it doesnt kill the hype cause its multiplat. It should excite more people now and the hype should be more in tact.

U got the devoted Tekken fans who have PS3s one one side, then u have those who have the Xbox and have played it before or have owned a PS2 or PSX and had the game on the other side. Add them up and it should equal better numbers and more antcipation.
But yeah, Im hyped as hell and cant wait til i get it, but it shouldnt be just a few of us so yeah.

AMEN to this comment. He's right. Not all owners of consoles post and FIFA is a hit as we speak.

I lost interest because of the delays and some decisions made by N/B (I know it's trivial but) I really love the idea of unlocking new characters but now they are all unlocked from the start, I'm in no hurry to start playing, so it's gonna be a price reduced for me.

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?

I have to agree with you. When announced as multiplatform and delayed for 12 months.. it seems like everyone (excluding a few) stopped talking about it.

 

I'm still hyping it though. It's gonna be awesome :p

 

 

A few things annoy me with it though. Co-op only online ? if it is then.. that's kinda lame

Delay for 12 months.. was annoying.

that you don't unlock chars anymore :(

lack of devil kazuya as playable char despite mention of him in the story.



Check out my game about moles ^

Tekken just always seemed too much of the same with prettier graphics to me... so with every game, less and less hype...

But why has FF13's hype not gone down then?

I DON'T think this is the reason

The TEKKEN franchise has declined like TOmb Raider & crash Bandicoot did in terms of sales......no-one is really bothered about them now apart from REAL HARDCORE tekken fans.

I played Tekken 6 at Gameworks. It felt exactly like... all the other Tekkens.

I'm not buying it until its $20. Or I'll just rent it from Gamefly.
