Tekken: Dark Resurrection (PS3)
 

I figure to give it a go and try for a sort of (unoffical) thread of Tekken. Of course speaking on Tekken: DR, it was recently released in Japan and I'm pretty sure there's a good fair amount of people out there that have downloaded the game. Me personally am very pumped for this game (until I get my PS3 that is). March 23rd is the launch date of the PS3 in Europe. And along with that launch is the Tekken: DR download. So this gives me high hopes of it being released here soon in the states. Now, it has been mentioned by a journalist from 1UPYours (Shane) that the US version will contain addition content and features. Of course nothing has been confirmed yet offically from Namco-Bandai. So let the hype begin! If you havee it, share some photos with the rest of the community. Or maybe if you want to share some tips on how you play one of your favorite characters, go for it. Peace out! (EWGF x5!)

I never really thought of it. But if you have a ghost to trade, feel free ;)

I can't wait for it either. I just got a 720P 30" Widescreen TV today so I'll actually be able to start caring about this HD crap now.

I also have Tekken: DR for the PSP and it's awesome, and I thought I couldn't like Tekken 5 anymore then I already did. I just hope that for the US version of DR for the PS3 that they manage to bring Dojo mode over from the PSP version and maybe the user AI network too. Thoes features were really SWEET!!!

I'm looking at getting a 32' LCD Widescreen TV here rather soon within the next month. We have a lot of people around here who play Tekken. Sadly arcades are a thing of the past apparently. So we set up our own touny's up a either some college campus or at a anime store we have down town.

Hey Slayer, gimme your ghost, I wanna try it out. =)

I don't really have one I don't think man, whenever I play DR on PSP I just get aggrivated with the controls and want to play it on the PS2... so I do. I haven't really done a whole wack on DR to make a compitent ghost version of myself. Perhaps I'll make that a project over the next little while and get back to ya man.

If you have one though feel free to send it to me and I'd be happy to square off against it. ^^

I want the PS3 version but I missed out on it when I had the chance. I guess I'll just wait until it comes out in the US Playstation Store, it really shouldn't take that long with the EU release around the corner.

In fact I do have a ghost, lemme upload it.

Good luck I guess.

Good news! Tekken: DR this month!

http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/news/i...cle&newsid=439

Just got home from playing it somewhere, and I can honestly now say that the PS3 controller horribly fails for this game.... How does a floor grapple register for Marduk when I hit d/b+1+2!? Why do I get a hop punch when I press d/f + 3!? If you plan on getting this, PLEASE try to get the adapter for PS2 controls! The game looks very crispy in HD though...

Yeah I noticed that on the PS2 version on Tekken 5, however there are two factors that creates this. First is that the PS3 controller is a LOT more stiff and needs a LOT of breaking in to get it working right. The second thing I noticed is after extensive play you manage to adjust and the issue goes away.

However if you consider yourself a hardcore arcade fighter, perhaps you should be playing on a Hori to begin with ;)

Yep. Hori with a sqaure gate FTW!

I've always been a d-pad player with Tekken so I don't think I'll have any issues. But hopefully they'll fix some of the framerate issues they had with the JA version. The information seemed a little iffy from the Gamepro site so hoping Namco-Bandai puts out an offical statement here next week on the details. And dammit Namco, put a freakin practice mode in it!

Bah... what better practice is there then getting your butt handed to you by and Extremely Hard Jin or Heihachi? lol

Actual competition. If your competitor knows how to play, and GOOD, any ultra hard CPU is child's play.

So according to the 1UP podcast, Tekken: DR will eventually be fully online to play against others. :) GOOD news.

That's what Namco is hinting to, however no official word has been announced yet. Fingures and toes crossed people.

It would fail. Look at DOA 4 online. There's like a 10 frame lag. That makes most jabs unblockable on reaction. Pretty retarded. If Tekken DR is gonna be online here, it's gonna fail with our crappy broadband.

Well, technically it's still better than not having the option to play online. If it is really unplayable, then I guess don't play :/. Me, it gives me the chance to play against some of my friends who only come home for Christmas and Thanksgiving. And that is a ways away...

most fighting game really don't work online because of the lag issue >.> that's what they didn't include an online mode in VF5 because they don't want it to ruin the gameplay...

anyway they said that it should be up this month no?

Granted there has been some matches in DOA4 with lag issues, but...I have had plenty of matches where it's been lag free and smooth. Although with Tekken: DR, PS3 has the dedication server option. Which in my eyes, would increase a connection speed and make the game less than likely to lag as much, if not, at all. AM2 is just picky about their game. Concidering the game is so much more complex than Tekken.

Due to 8 frame jabbers, and other fast moves, Tekken requires pretty much NO LAG AT ALL. Even the PSP multiplayer has trouble churning it out at a good pace.

So by IGN speculation, Tekken: DR will be out Feb. 26th but no offical word from Namco-Bandai. Also IGN has some good high res movies to see.

Yeah, the PSP's latency of frame display is bad enough, online lag would just be unplayable.

As for VF being more complex then Tekken that's arguable. There's more types of moves in VF, but there's more striking moves and combos (straight combos, not chained combos) in Tekken. Either way, they're both great games and I don't think that anyone who's in their right mind would argue that,

I have to say, IMO, VF defenitly has more depth. This is coming from a huge Tekken whore too. Tekken just has more flash, and is a lot easier to pick up and play. I look at it like this:


Flashiness <---- DOA ---- Tekken ---- VF ----> Fighting Engine

I would add SoulCalibur between Tekken and DOA, I know it has weapons, however it is reconized as Evo to be on the same level as the earlier mentioned. Well not DOA, it's a joke in the eyes of Evo, too quirky, the balance is like they're not even trying, and it's just simply no where near the level of Tekken, SC, or VF.

"Eventually", as in "not from the start"? Nevertheless, if it's true than I'll be playing this from now until doomsday. To hell with the lag comments, I want to play at least one fighting game online.

I hope the servers don't get hammered monday.

Yes. Eventually. Be it true or not, I would hope it is. You'll probably have to pay like $5 as a download but that's so worth it to me. I'd pay $15 to play it online.

Are the ending FMVs for each character included as well? I think I read somewhere that the FMVs had to be downloaded seperately, but I'm not sure.

I honestly don't know. That does sound about right from what I've read over at zaibatsu. Oh, there is talk that you can download the user manual now on the PSN. If anyone is kind enough to post pics or what not.

The FMVs are in the game, when you beat the Story mode (if it's in it like DR for the PSP) you get to view the videos, however in order to unlock the videos in the Theatre you have to purchase the videos from the store in the game.

-DOUBLE POST-
From what I'm hearing Tekken DR should be up this afternoon. Time to find out how much BS IGN is really made of.

-TRIPPLE POST-
Looks like Tekken DR isn't going to be coming out till Thursday now according to IGN, and has been put to TBD on the official Namco site instead of the "Available Now" status.

Well, looks like the release date, according to IGN has been pushed back to March 1st. Which makes sense since the PSN updates every Thursday. Here's hoping for no more delays.

It would be nice for some official news. Like release confirmation and perhaps a price.

True that. It's all odd that all this "official" information is coming from game sites and not Namco. But then again, Namco did get an interview with Nacmo on it so maybe they know more than we do. Who knows though. I got VF5 to tide me over in the mean time.

For sure, VF5 is pretty bad ass, playing it right now actually (currently fighting Kage), it's reqlly odd that it's even taking this long because in the IGN interview the lead director said that the NA DR is the same as the JP DR, therefore it shouldn't require anything seeing how the JP version works on NA PS3s. Then with the whole added secrecy something's up.

Hrm. Well over at zaibatsu, people sure are bitching a lot about the lack of "Practice mode". Although since Namco is being rather quiet about this, and their site is still saying TBD, I'll bet to see this game not come out till March 23rd along with the EU launch of the PS3. As much as I'd hate that, but the more and more I read into this, that seems like what is going to happen. Maybe Namco is hearing the fans and adding more features? Fixing more of the slow downs? Guess we'll find out come Thursday.

And I keep forget to ask this question. Does anyone know how exactly you'll be able to upload two profiles? And is there some way to take your save to use?

http://kotaku.com/gaming/tekken-5%25...day-240676.php

Now they're saying a release day today!? Stop playing with my emotions!

You have to have a second profile for player 2 on the system if you want their stats and custom characters saved for them. And you can NOT use your 5.0 saves for DR. Different coding entirely.

What I mean is, can you save your DR file onto a PS2 card by an assigned slot? Or just the two profiles?

Oh, and it is offical for today's release.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6166600...ewstop;title;2

Well it took a few hours of error messages and super slow download speeds, but I finally got the game up and running, and it is by far the downloadable game in PSN so far.

The resolution bump is quite outstanding, especially in the grassy field. The two new characters (well, mostly new to me since I've never played DR in any other format) are awesome as well; Lili is an instant favorite with her Karin-inspired design and very awesome throws (and her second outfit is quite easy on the eyes), and Dragunov is just plain scary (but still falls a distant second over Brian Fury).

And thankfully, when they said that you had to pay to download the additional movies and outfits, they meant game money, not real world money. I hope other companies will do the same whenever they decide to include microtransactions.

Jinpachi is an even cheaper bastard than before. Now he has a rapid-fireball attack! Good thing the same strategy still works, but you need to be careful. Lili can take him out with no problem at all, though.

The game definetely needs a practice mode. Not only am I still learning the ropes with Jin (I miss his Mishama-style way of fighting), but I need to practice with the two new characters as well. Hopefully they'll patch other modes into the game later on, especially the online mode.

And I love the music in Devil Jin's level. Very Kajiura-esque.

Snow castle. Yes. lol. My favorite stage. If you beat arcade 3 times, you get the old Tekken 5 stages as well. I'm just having a bitch of a time trying to figure out how to get two profiles rolling in vs mode.

well at least you could download it... apparently they forgot to had it in the canada store or forgot to mention that canada will not get it at the same time as the US...

Looks a lot better than I was thinking it would... especially in 1080p. Wowee. If this is even a fraction of the possibility of what PS2 games could look like upscaled than Sony really needs to get to work on that, heh.

Why not just use Devil Jin if you want Mishima style Jin? He is top tier in this game after all.

Jinpachi always had the rapid fireballs. You can low parry them now. (d/f) He can also shoot one from the floor when he's face up.

You can also concider Armor King a new character because he's VERY different from the older versions.

Devil Jin feels like a cheat. He has Tekken 3 Jin's style, but he has some additional cheap moves like the eye beam. Plus I like my Jin without the horns and wings. :/

Not to state the obvious, but Ghost Mode is the easiest way to earn money. I'm just wondering if there's a reason to play Arcade Mode more then 3 times (anything else you can unlock?), as Ghost offers more money and better challenges.

well yay canada just got it downloading it now ^^ (will be back when I'll test it)

I like fighting game but I'm really not an expert, I did liked VF4:EVO but it's more technical that I'm use too. I never played a tekken before XD (yes shame on me) but from the video and review I might enjoy it more I think ^^

Additional Spam:
well I just tested it and I have to say god I suck at this game XD but it's fun.

I just tried Lili because she seem to have a fighting style that i like and she's pretty fun. but even on easy I had to try like 10time the fight just before the last battle... and is it normal that the last battle was 10time easier than the guy just before him? XD

I really don't understand why there's no practice mode, because god I really need it...

I'll return to test more character now to find out which one is good for me ^^

Make sure to map the shoulder buttons to combo attacks (like LP+LK), it makes things easier. As near as I can tell, Lili is a character for beginners, as I managed to do a hellish amount of damage just by trial and error.

I do wish they at least gave you some option to evade or block air attacks. It's pretty frustrating to get smacked around 20 times before you hit the ground, and there's nothing you can do about it.

yeah that's the only complain I have about the game, it's pretty frustrating when the enemy do almost a perfect and you couldn't do anything because of an air combo...

I've calculated to if you want a Dark Lord character rank, it'll take you a good 430 - 450 battles in the Ghost mode. But the money is nice.

The air juggle is the same in VF, SCIII and Tekken. The float time may very, but not by all that much. Also Tekken is a combo game, not a chipping game like VF. At the EVO Tournament it's usually only 2 connections each leading into a combo to win a round, Tekken's always been like that and I love it.

Well I wouldn't say it's a combo game. There's lots of things to concider like tech traps, mix ups, set ups, and oki.

If you get hit with Devil Jin's eye beam, you deserve the damage it does. Same goes with any unblockable. It's not abusable at all. Just duck it. If it's the flying version, side step it.

Best character I can recommend for beginners is Paul. All you gotta know first is Quarter Circle Forward (fireball motion) + Triangle. You can pick up everything else as you play more.

Don't forget d 1+2 ;)

I'm purposly not using the Zaibatsu legend so new players can understand the inputs i'm saying. Down + Square + Triangle for Paul is awesome though. Just not abusable. Phoenix Smasher isn't abusable either. Best for whiff punishment.

don't let it be a paul vs. paul match--it'll be a Deathfist war!!!

whiffed deathfist punished by deathfists. =/

I so love Lili! I really dig her and all her acrobatic move! i love character that use more kick attack than fist. Every move with her is awesome XD but I see she can be really easily counter so I'm pretty sure vs a good player I would get owned but still she's just so much fun to play ^^

If you liike kicks so much, try out Baek, and Hwoarrang.(SP?)

Hwoarang, or Bob for short.

Hey, I'm sure that a lot of people who were interested in how to get two customization profiles, one for each player on the one PS Account have already figured it out, but because I've already been asked by a couple of people as to how to do this I thought I would post the steps here for all who want to know can see.

1.) Create a SECOND PS Account
2.) Start Tekken: DR, create a profile, and save.
3.) Copy the save file from this Account to your primary PS Account
4.) Delete second PS Account if you wish
5.) Start Tekken: DR and each profile should be set to their respective players

It's weird that the game supports the dual profiles but how you have to have them both saved under one account. Oh well, now everyone knows how to do it. Good luck and post if you have any problems.

Here's a bad quality video of me fumbling around with the PS3 control vs my friend...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nl8pK1UNAY

Tell your friend to start abusing d+3 mixups for MAX DMG!!!

Damn. That's some nice Nina skillz there from your friend. I wish the people around here would play that good. Would be a damn fine challenge. But sadly, no one around here knows how to defeat a Roger Jr. -sigh-

Alright. I finally got this game today. Playing the shit out of it is what I did. My little brother is hooked on it at the moment. Getting good with Raven again since he hasn't played it since the days of 5 for ps2.So is it worth to fight online? Any of you that is ^^;. My name is NighttimeVulture. Unfortunately, some dumbfuck took my name ;_;...

Tekken so desperately needs to be online. Around here, and I don't know how it is with other states, arcades are a dying thing.

Here in California, redemptions are top revenue (used to be asst. manager).

Actually he moves around too much for his own good, and does launchers WAY too much. I now take advantage of that. Hopefully we both learn from our mistakes and get better.

That's the problem with local play with just the few set of friends ya got when playing Tekken. You eventually learn each other's style so it becomes a huge block fest. Hopefully we'll be seeing online with Tekken this year or announcment of it.

Oh there's a huge variety at the local arcade near me. It makes it easier to improve here than in most other places. Sadly it's also the reason the East Coast is looked down upon by other top players. They think the quality of competition should be better because of the variety of people.

Goodness. It's time to bump this thread for good reasons.

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ONLINE is finally up on both the Japanese & Hong Kong PlayStation Stores! SD TEKKEN got a couple hours of hands-on time with the upgrade and we are VERY pleased! US fans don’t fret! T5DR ONLINE will be coming out in North America mid August! Click below for our impressions and some details regarding the upgrade!


Hi everyone, it’s MarkMan again… Just wanted to throw in my two cents on T5DR ONLINE. I downloaded the full 2,800 Yen version off the Japanese PS Store as soon as it went online, the first thing I did after I installed the 550 MB game was jump online.

The first thing I wanted to figure out was whether or not people outside of Japan could play against each other online. Fortunately, YES it is possible to play people all over the world with this version of T5DR ONLINE! I played a few matches against Japanese and Korean players then finally hooked up with some American players to test how the gameplay would fare.

I played a few matches with Tekken Zaibatsu’s very own MrWizard and we both came across a mutual agreement that T5DR ONLINE was definitely playable and as a matter of fact, the lag/latency was pretty good for a fighting game. Later in the evening I tested extensively with SD TEKKEN members Empty H4nd and Ace R., the result is a bit mixed. But overall one thing is for sure, the game is playable and the lag doesn’t make you want to slam your controller on the floor(as long as both you and your opponent have good connections).

The lag would vary from match to match but often times we would have matches that were close to perfect. I used a variety of characters & I was able to do land juggles that would require precise timing… that really surprised me.

Unless you have an awesome WiFi signal I would recommend that you use a wired internet connection when playing T5DR ONLINE. Personally I found that wired was a big enough improvement over the PS3’s WiFi signal to warrant the change.

Aside from the ONLINE portion of the game there is also an updated title screen, survival mode, and the always important practice mode! The practice mode is similar to that of Tekken 5 on PS2 and even has the command capture feature, defensive training, and hit analysis that we all know and love!

Should you wait until the US version comes out? It’s really up to you. You shouldn’t be asking me this because I am a Tekken freak and would have bought it the first day no matter what. The US version is slated for mid August which sets it up for around Thursday, August 16th. If you can wait that long, do so… if not find out how to get it from either the HK or JPN PS stores!







...that leaves the question, who's ready to get their Tekken on later this month? ;)

I downloaded the Japanese version and good god is it unplayable. Although the closest guy I got to play with was in New Jersey, and i'm in NYC. I'll reserve full judgement for when the US version comes out though.

Pfft... ALL fighting games over the net are LAGGY. And from what I've heard from some people's experiance Tekken Online has some of the most stable net code to date for a fighting game.

Which is why I never understood this huge outcry for online play in fighting games. Sure it's a good idea. But until we actually get net code that runs at an optimal pace I don't think developers should obey the people on this one.

Also don't forget that online play takes away from the rest of the game's dev time. No wonder all the SC4 news is sounding like crap, because they're creating an online mode. But I'll save the rest of this rant for a more appropriate place. However my point stands that even if Tekken Online is the BEST online fighting game (have yet to play it), it's still going to suck for the officianotos who play the game for real. (Like you and I)

Oh well, I'm still going to get the update for the new modes, and a hopefully tear free 1080 display support. (Maybe the weird flat tone effect will also be removed from the two levels that had the issue, wasn't in the original AC game)

Well KOF: Neowave ran beautifully on XBox Live for me back when I was playing it. Although it's not frame dependant to the point of Tekken. Even if you have 1 or 2 frames of lag, that ruins properly punishing a lot of dangerous moves, and can mess with throw breaking. I just want the US version to at least be playable though.

That's true. But there were also only like 20 of us at the bussiest times playing too, so it's not like the servers were bombarded like Tekken, DOA, VF5 or anything else is/will be.

I can't wait for KoF XI to come out in US this september with at least decent online support. (2D fighters are just starting to get solid net code)

So...how do you get the jpn version..? Since you live in NY.. I can challenge you since I'm in NJ >=]. Unless you have the jpn version of the ps3 and I'm assed out.


@Kain : Anytime ;p.

To get the japanese version you need a JPN account, which is easy enough for I have one also. However buying things is the real trick. You can still use NA credit cards, but you can't deposit more then $5 USD at one time otherwise the PSN cross checks your card with your account address, and if it doesn't match your account gets flagged. But it can be done.

Other then that though, it doesn't matter if he had a JP PS3 or Tekken Online, anyone can still play anyone due to that Tekken has international servers.

^^ What he said.

On a side note, did they announce KOFXI will go online for the PS2!? If so, I have a lot of good times to look forward to! :D

Well the JAP and EUR versions do, so I can't forsee why the US version wouldn't too. But no one really know for 100% right now either.

Bleh, all the earlier ones went online in JPN also, but didn't go online over here. :( Really makes no sense to me why they wouldn't do it.

Time to revive the thread


Well it looks like on my end, online works perfect. Good job Manny in being one of the greatest-lame-o experts in aerial tech trapping lol. I figured 2 wins for me, 5 for you ;p

Anyone else? Just make sure if you're playing against Manny, watch out for his Bryan Fury >.>.

Actually Marduk is my main, but i'm playing extremly sluggish right now. >_< Got some rust to work off...

I'll be getting on ASAP. Maybe not tonight, but I'll be doing my best for tomorrow. For thoes who are interested in my arsenal.

1. Bryan Fury
2. Steve Fox
3. Baek Doo San
4. Hworang
5. Dragunov

So yeah, hope to fight you guys soon ^^
I'm also looking forward to the pratice mode for Dragunov and Lilly. I've been using the PSP version for them, but it's hard to do some combo stringing with it's D-pad. Survival Mode will be a cool addition too.

P.S.
My PSN ID is the same for all my consoles (and always will be): ChaosLegionaire

Im all good for the rest of the day. So whenever you wanna go at it. Im there later around 5pm til the next 2-3 hours.

EDIT : Well , as always, I got my ass handed to by a bunch of Tekken 24/7 players and ended up with just 2 wins out of 10 , Thus making it 17 wins and 31 losses. Joy =].

*Reviving thread* So I played Chaoslegionaire. Hey man you're dangerous with Steve -_-;;. I think you'd probably kick my ass if it wasn't for my lucky last hits >.>. Great close-battles though. There was some weird shitty lag we had in our nina-bryan fight. wtf was that all about ? Could it have been the other dude who logged in maybe?

Thanks for the compliments man. I haven't played for a couple weeks so I decided to jump back on. While Bryan is normally my best character I'm afraid that he's beginning to lack in his move variety with me. Also after we were done I went into practice to train with Steve. I'm working on some new stuff for ya ^^

Your Baek kept me on edge trying to block all your varied attacks. And your Lilly was pretty hectic. I don't have any friends who use her so it was a new experiance for me to see so many consecqutive moves coming from her. Very hard to predict.

Good fights though. I'll do my best to get better for next time. Good matches.

hey guys Im thinking about getting this game now that I have a stupid ps3 that cant play ps2 games.

Are the controls here the same as of the ps2 at least for the characters hwoarang, jin and steve fox?

Also Ive never purchased anything online before, so am I right to guess that I will use my credit card on the pstore and then a disc be shipped to me? Or will it be a download the full game to the harddrive? Sorry, real noob at ps3 here. If its the latter what happens if I accidebtaly format the harddrive?

If you like Tekken then 5: DR is the way to go. The controls are the same as the original PS2 T5. But like any other arcade update of a game. There are tweaks and sometimes added stages and items. (this would be one of thoes updates) Oh, and the game is now in FULL HD.

As for your mentioned characters. Like I said, the core is the same but everything is tweaked for better balance, mostly for the better.

There are a couple added characters. Lilli, Dragunov, Armour King, Eddy (no longer a costume), and PS3 exclusive play of Jimpachi.

Last of the new content is the new Online mode. Which for a fighting game is pretty darn slick, and runs great for the most part.

As to how the purchasing works. As it is right now you can only use a credit card in NA. The game is then downloaded to your HDD. No you don't get a hardcopy of the game, but fortunately the online purchases work more like the 360 and less like the Wii. Meaning that items are sold to your account, which allows you to redownload them at any time as long as you're using that account when you go to do so. I only say this for there are thoes who believe that the recovery does in fact retrieve your save files which in fact is not true.

Accounts can be recovered from the PSN after formats. But that does not recover any information like game saves or prior HDD content. It just gives you access to your PSN account again. Therefore if you're going to format save game saves and/or other content to a USB drive or something first.

thanks slayer x!
