[PS3] Tekken: Dark Resurrection (PS3)

Quote:

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

"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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.
