Edge:Tekken made its name bringing the arcade fighting experience to the living room and it brings arcade monetisation – via the free-to-play model – along for the ride in this PSN exclusive. Arcade Coins are required to play Tekken Revolution’s singleplayer mode (which nonetheless requires you stay online) and are replenished free of charge at a rate of one per hour, though you can only hold a maximum of two Arcade Coins at a time. To play more than twice in two hours you’ll have to pop over to the PlayStation Store and invest in some Premium Coins (quite reasonably priced at £3.99 for 30 with smaller bundles available, too). There’s a similar coin system in place for the Ranked and PvP matches, though you can hold up to five Battle Coins at a time and the recharge time is reduced to half an hour, a setup that smartly nudges you towards online multiplayer.
Bandai Namco has now officially announced that Tekken Revolution, the first free-to-play game from the franchise, will be taken down on March 21
Played a couple matches, it was fun. Realised I needed to wait for a countdown to play more matches, deleted from my system.
Bandai Namco Games has announced a new collaboration between Ace Combat Infinity and Tekken Revolution which starts today at 5pm and ends on November 4th around 7pm. During this limited period unique airframes and emblems will be added as drop items in the game.
Dear Bandai Namco Please release a real ace combat game for next gen systems.Thank you
Bandai Namco's free-to-play fighter celebrates 3.5 million downloads on PS3 with reduced prices and a lowered grind.
Thats very good. But where is the Vita version? They said if the PS3 version did well that a port would be made to the Vita. 3.5 mil seems more than good if you ask me.
I know what i'm abou to say is pretty blasphemous but here goes.....
I wish more fighters, like SF, had a F2P version like Tekken has revolution. It would be a really good way to introduce casuals to each of these games and if each F2P fighter had a small well rounded roster it'd go a long way to help teaching match ups, punishers, combos etc.
From my perspective I never played a fighting game up until Tekken Revolution, because it was free, and thanks to the small roster at launch and invincible moves I was able to stick with and learn how to use king. I also learned how to punish kazuya players and especially lars players. It's actually got to the point where I instinctively punish kazuyas 1,2,4,3 move with Kings kick counter xD.
Thanks to a F2P Tekken game introducing me to the series snd being easily accessible but keeping the core of what is tekken I was able to transition into TTT2 fairly easily.
If a game like SF had a F2P variant with a focus on a small roster that include the core of the series, with some of the newer harder to master characters being added over time, then I believe it would go long way towards making fighters alot more popular.
Isn't that a low amount of downloads for a free game in an 80 million user base?
Very bad review I am very disappointed :/, review such as this gives bad name to EDGE I was under the impression that they research a game thoroughly before they decide to write a review something unfortunately didn't happen in this case, I am really bored right now to point all the things they miss or things they gave incomplete info but I'm sure that ppl who play the game for a few days can tell instantly.
This review is way off base. I am brand new to Tekken (but played SF heavily for 20 years) and am thoroughly enjoying this F2P release. The arcade feel is replicated perfectly.......
