According to Ebgames website Tekken 5 should be in stores next Saturday. Am I the only one that cares about it? I loved Tekken Tag but hated 4. From what I read 5 plays more like Tekken 3. The rumors are that Tekken 1-3 are also included on the disc. So is anyone else out there excited for it?

no not really

MasterofDVD

I played the hell out of 3 but when 4 came out I didn't care for it that much. I could care less about 5 right now since I've heard pretty much nothing about it.

I am now buying the game just for Tekken 1, 2 and 3. 4 games for $50? Wow. There also is a limited edition version for $100 that comes with a joystick, art book and cd case.

I lost interest after 2. What story can they really go into now?

Mercury

From what I've seen at the arcade Heiachi is dead and is now a demon or something.
I'm going to rent it for sure and I'll probably end up buying when it's a greatest hits.

ravan

no interest

nickdawgy

I don't really like fighting games at all, so definitely no interest here.

this is the first i've heard of it, but i've got an xbox and i think that DOA is cooler and has been cooler than tekken anyhow. but this game looks really cool. i might go buy a ps2 just to pick this one up.

Shagrath

I'm totally excited for this. Tekken has been my favorite fighting game series ever since I first played Tekken 1 at Space Mountain back in '89. That's a really great addition that they're doing by releasing 1-3 on the disc as well.

I love Tekken 3. And VF4. And Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat... but they all seem to reach a point where I'm playing the same game over and over again. I think fighting games as a genre have peaked in terms of innovation

I'm no tekken fan...but here goes. At work, a few guys love Tekken, but hate part 4 since it 'ruined' the game. Part 5 is supposed to go back to the roots and be MUCH better. We have played it for a while in the arcade, and I admit it is really fun. If you like the old Tekken's, or Tekken Tag...it will be worth checking out. Certainly better than the DOA games etc.

I am excited about it. I finally got to play a little of it at a local arcade, and it was fun. Jinpachi or whoever that is at the end is nuts.

Mercury

I never played Tekken until I had a PS2. Tag was a little much for me to take in, and never got into it. Tekken 4 was the one I got into. I've heard before that four was broken, but no ones been able to explain it to me.

I am looking forward to five. There's a new Ninja/Blade charecter. All the fighters have a distinct personality that's lacking in alot of other games.

Who plays fighting games for the story? Or even pays attention to the story?


Anyway, I'm not that hyped for it. I rarely play multiplayer anymore, and fighting games get old pretty quick in single player. I may pick it up once it's $20 or less.

Leechboy

I just paid for my copy in full today. I'm thinking it of paying $15 for each original Tekken and $5 for Tekken 5.

Calico

I'm a sucker for a fighting title, I'm sure I'll be trying it out.

Decker

Why not think of it as paying $1 for every state? Or fifty cents for every bottle of beer on the wall?

Josh H

B/c his way makes sense as you'd probably drop around $45 after shipping on ebay to pick up the first 3 Tekkens.

Decker

Oh. I guess I didn't realize that those original Tekkens were on this disc. Since I already own 2 & 3 and have no interest in playing them anymore, that's not much of an incentive to me. But maybe it's a big deal to others.

Old school fighting games don't hold up well for me, I guess. Heck, I haven't even opened disc 1 from DOA Ultimate yet.

If anyone is interested, its 37.99 at outpost.com

I also played a ton of Tekken 3, but Tekken tag didn't grab me at all. Never touched 4. Tag also just didn't seem graphically worthy of being a ps2 game, and at the time T3 was notable for it's excellent ps1 graphics and also awesome cgi movies.

I might buy it down the track if it reviews well and has great graphics.

Lampei

I am really looking forward to this title. I've been a huge fan of the series since Tekken (used to play it in the arcades) and rented a PS1 way back when from blockbuster just so I could play the original Didn't care much for Tekken 4, but I've got this sucker already pre-ordered. I don't see that it'll change much (probably a good thing after 4), but the new characters should be good.

theneobez

I'll probably buy it when it's a greatest hits title.
