Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Thread

Okay, then the first one it's certainly a male, thus I guess it's... Doc Boskonovitch.

The second one, lol

[Eddie]

I'm guessing the Doc and Gon.

[Onyxe Beart]

C'mon Miharu.

[Sera]

Am I the only one slightly disappointed we won't be getting swimsuits for the male characters?

They are for male characters too. According to Harada everyone gets one.

Fundoshi FTW!

Console version will receive additional balance tweaks, and quite possibly solo mode

Balance tweaks similar to what KOF XIII's console versions have? Awesome. I am certainly hyped for this.

Harada confirmed online pass on twitter. *sigh* Fight used game sells, encourage people to stop at Gamestop with all the pre-order DLC, developer logic 101.

Also Prima guide confirmed (so you can not buy it and get all the info from it online the next day).

Also a new costume for Lili was revealed, said part of DLC pack 5 on a site.

I don't see what the big deal with the online pass is.

Everybody gonna buy this game new fresh out of the box anyways. This is Tekken yo.

I'll also definitely get that guide book, I love to collect strategy guides and it beats running back and fourth between my tv and laptop.

[Don Vecta]

Online pass sucks.

Also people hate it because it's the early stages of the console version of DRM. Several developers have stated they want MS and Sony's next consoles to block used games completely and/or make the consoles require a constant internet connection. So like DRM it could eventually get to the point where it punishes legitiment/new game buyers the most by a long shot.

I don't understand that kind of policy. There are people who don't have a fast Internet connection, and others that can't connect their consoles to the Internet.
I loved my old consoles because I just needed a console, any kind of TV and a game to have many hours of fun alone or with my co-players. Now games are very expensive, they even get sold half-baked, need paid extra contents to feel more finished and rely too much on online play/downloads/etc. Now they even push for online passes, blocking used games and heaven knows what else they can come up with. I often think I'm almost glad that I'm not addicted to videogames anymore (which, however, is the sad consequence of what videogames have become).

QFT.

Right now play online it's not an option: it's a must.

Forest's stage is beautiful. I've seen very similar buildings in photos of real Chinese places, it's like if Namco put together buildings from different real places to get a more original, very Chinese-flavoured stage. I like how they are working on these stages.

[RedHurricane24]

I feel incredibly guilty at realizing that Harada-san and Namco are squeezing in all these characters, all these stages, into a game that they only ask is for $65 USD, at the most. It's like I'm committing highway robbery! My respects to Harada-san and Namco for their commitment to making, essentially, a sure-fire candidate for Fighting Game of the Year.
