Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Hands-On (darkzero)

"For years, Tekken reigned supreme on the Sony consoles, but a few other series have taken the focus from the finely-honed, in-depth and intricate experience that Namco’s (now Namco-Bandai) fighter delivered. Instead, we were treated to visual spectacles in the form of copious amounts of violence, bouncing assets and some dubious (and scarcely there) outfits for some of the more titular characters in the those titles. With a market flooded by identikit fighters and the public’s switching of interests to the likes of the Call of Duty series over the years, the humble arcade 3D fighter has somewhat lost its luster. Hopefully, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTT2) will be able to change all that with the upcoming port of the popular arcade iteration later this summer."

Problem with the intro: Tekken 6 is one of the most popular games world wide. Saying it lost its luster is admitting a lack of knowledge about the game.

Domstercool5051d ago

I wonder if he means more than just general sales. Like the popularity in Tournaments compared to Marvel and Street Fighter. Or maybe he just feels that it isn't quite on top of the genre like Tekken 3 was. The Metacritic for Tekken 6 isn't as good as some of the past Tekken games.

nrvalleytime5051d ago

Disagree. Tekken 6 is a popular fighting game, but nowhere near as popular as other genre leading titles. The author's implying other titles have come close to Tekken in the fighting genre, which says something about its lack of sheer dominance now.

Baka-akaB5051d ago (Edited 5051d ago )

T6 isnt even the most popular tekken so the intro is right by all accounts .

It was still a good tekken and by far the most balanced , but even as balanced as it was , it's juggling "i'll watch while you play" system was aggravating . And its offline modes were badly handled , and off course the online was the worst seen so far with Kof XII .

Other games do that like MVC3 , but still do it in a faster pace and makes you believe you can do something about it . In T6 you are watching something painful and slow .

TTT2 continues the juggling with ground bouncing trend , but it's faster , better to watch at , and not always that efficient .

"Problem with the intro: Tekken 6 is one of the most popular games world wide. Saying it lost its luster is admitting a lack of knowledge about the game."

Tekken is by far the most popular 3D fighting game worldwide; that's not to be disputed. However, saying its lost its luster would be an understatement. There's nothing really wrong with Tekken, or other fighters, it's just that we're no longer in the PS2 days. The industry has made a major shift toward shooting games, leaving fighting games behind.

Tekken 6 is still deep and fun to play, but it's clear that its basic fighting mechanics cater more towards the advanced users, and more evidently so with TTT2.

Tekken 6 was a blast. Would like to get TTT, but my friends who used to be hardcore into it don't really do fighting games anymore.

Hitman raises his head but how good are the Xbox Games With Gold freebies for September 2019?

Carlos writes: "With Gamescom having just gone and Halloween starting to appear on the horizon, it can only mean that ‘the horror-days are coming’. Man of Medan and Blair Witch are now both here to scare the living daylights out of all who dare come near, and so it’s hard to think you should be focusing on anything else. But let’s not get hasty as first of all we still have all those free games to look through courtesy of the Xbox Games With Gold program for September 2019. So let’s dive straight in and see whether or not you should be bothering with the latest batch of Xbox Games With Gold freebies."

To be honest getting Hitman for free is really good. That game has so much replayability.

TheProfessional2461d ago

"Hitman raises his head" What a terrible and poorly written title for an article.

littletad2460d ago

Most of the "staff" of these websites are freelance writers or college kids. None of them are paid to write, only promised exposure or some money revenue if advertisement deals are made. College graduates or those with masters are only paid "well" in major publications like IGN or even Kotaku. Though it's never the main gig. So you'll never see top quality writing in 80 percent of these news submissions. Sorry for the random detail, I just used to be like you lol.

Haha appreciate the reply, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's just damn even for a middle school graduate that's poor writing.

gamer78042460d ago

I'm not a big fan of hitman so not a great month for me

FanboySpotter2460d ago

u cant expect AAA games every month. hitman is pretty decent and i like fighting games so Tekken is a good addition to my collection. if you dont feel like its good to u thats a u problem.

RangerWalk2672463d ago

Sad world we live in when someone can't be happen when someone offers something to you for free. Oh well, to each their own I guess.

King_Noctis2462d ago

Actually, alot of people are happy except for you maybe.

yomfweeee2462d ago

@Ranger, it isn't free.

darthv722462d ago

EDF 2025 is a good one for me. It's the only EDF I dont own so I'll gladly take it digital.

EDF 2025! Great month!

Edit: There is zero sarcasm. I'm a big fan of the stupid games.

darthv722462d ago

Love EDF games and this is one I have not played so.... yay me!

TGGJustin2463d ago

That is a horrible month. Hitman is the only good thing there and it just left Game Pass. They are giving you a cheap $5 game which I think is a new low for them. Then you have the third EDF game on GWG this year and it isn't even good. Tekken Tag 2 was given to all Xbox players during E3 a couple years ago. Microsoft continues to show that they are just trying to push people to Game Pass and have given up on this service.

yomfweeee2463d ago

Ya putting the same games from Gold and GP is kind of messed up. Especially since they are selling those as a package with Ultimate GP.

monkey6022463d ago

That's a really boring month for me

monkey6022463d ago

Sure do. Currently pre installing Gears 5 and just finished downloading Pandemic from Game Pass

gamer78042463d ago

welp the xbox 360 games are better than the xbox one games this month, was hoping for more.

CuVe2463d ago

It is a really good game, its just that it was free on ps plus long ago... The second Hitman is 20Euro(~22USD) now, so even that is very cheap. This is a very bad month. And if you compare it with PS Plus its even worse...

Blaze9292462d ago

@CuVe - what does any of that have to do with Xbox and it's users?

IamTylerDurden12463d ago (Edited 2463d ago )

Hitman is good, but it was just on Game Pass and PS+ gave it like 7 months ago. It's weak of them to offer gwg titles that are or were just on Game Pass. Also, PS+ giving it away isn't a big deal, but some people do have both PS+ and gwg, plus it just takes a little steam out.

If Hitman wasn't on Game Pass it still wouldn't be a great month, especially considering the competition received Darksiders 3 and Batman.
