SDCC: Tekken 6 Hands-On (PS3)


My time with Tekken 6 on the PS3 was fairly short. In the hectic atmosphere that is San Diego's Comic-Con, it's usually pretty tough to get in some solid time with anything game related.

From what I gathered after playing six rounds or so, is that it is the same fast-paced strategic 3D fighter that fans have enjoyed over the last few editions. At its core, Tekken 6 is simply Tekken 5 but with shinier graphics, cleaner models, and a bit more fluid animations. The framerate is at a steady 60 frames per second, and everything is crisp and clean.

In terms of new content over the 5th edition of Tekken, 6 has new destructible environments akin to those found in other fighting games like Soul Calibur 4 that reveal new fighting areas. However, since this was a multiplayer only demo, there wasn't much else I could investigate. The only other thing I can confirm is that the character roster is going to be a good amount larger than Tekken 5, which will make it the most expansive roster in Tekken history.

Overall it is another solid entry into the series. Look for it on PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 27th, 2009. The PSP version will hit a month later on November 24th.
