The character models look great. But the background is simply ugly.

Tekken 6: 2009 Release!

Dead or Alive 4 2005 Release:

DoA 4 looks better than Tekken even though it is 4 years old. Every developer claims that they are pushing a system to its limits. It doesn't mean anything.

C'mon... all fighters on the market look better. Take a closer look on hair, cloths etc.

i 100% agree.

DOA 4 kicks tekken 6 in the balls in the graphics department .

God what i would do for DOA 5 on PS3.

but all said and done the fighting mechanism is still really good in tekken 6 but the graphics,,,,mehhhh

Tekken 6 has been the biggest disappointment for me this generation. I am a huge Tekken fan but this release is an actual insult. I'm playing it for the love of the combat but issues with online play, dated graphics, and the campaign mode as a whole are making it a somewhat bitter sweet experience. They should've have left the campaign crap out alltogether, and focus in the graphics and online gameplay experience. Such a waste of a good IP.

It's kinda sad when I launch titles like DOA and Virtua Fighter look better...

As long as the fighting is still good, me and my friends will still love the game.

Try the campaign and tell me, is that pushing hardware? it looks like something released for PS2 in 2003. Even worse. The match graphics are better but still awful. By no way comparable to even the earliest ps3 releases.

I've played every Tekken out there and loved them all - and still enjoying the latest installment but I wish they showed an actual effort in development.

The good thing is they are working on the patch right now...

I have played through the campaign scenario. Currently playing through it with kazuya for the different char conversations.

The campaign scenario doesn't look that visually appealing, though it does look better than ps2 games. Look at the char models such as jack and the lighting. The normal fight has the most fluid animation system in any fighter.. It's very visually appealing, though it's nothing that goes near to push the hardware. It looks better than resistance 1 and it looks better than launch titles.

Not only that, but the gameplay has been changed a lot so it feels very fresh. I'd gotten tired of dark resurrection online and feared that i'd get tired of tekken 6 fast but fortunately I havent.. Partially due to the huge changes the game has had visually (among other things i'm speaking of the fact that they redid all animations and that they have a bunch of new K.O. fall animations (the old ones pissed me off kinda.) and partially due to the gameplay enchancements such as rage and the fact that all chars are more fluid in their movements and .. overall moveset combinations then previous installment.

The scenario campaign is also addictive due to the items and story developments. It's very story heavy and i'm a big fan of the tekken story.

Reading this post I will definitely be skipping this game.
