[OLD] Tekken 7 Review (PS4) 

Airjet2582 yeah! that was one of the best things about old tekkens. the strife to unlock the next character. they should do like DOA 5 did: make everything unlocked for versus so tournament players have no problems. let the single players audience unlock their content through sp modes. easy as that..

Can I ask why? I mean why would anyone want to unlock characters it's such an archaic mechanic and just means if the characters you like are locked tough shit you can't play em in this game you spent $60 on

Airjet2582 It's simply not doable with online in mind. People want to play the actual game as soon as they get it, not grind for hours to use their main. I believe customization parts work as an ok replacement.

It was awesome archaic mechanic. Unlocking character was adding some mystery and satisfaction to the game.

Well you can still unlock custom unique costumes. A lot of the old costumes can be bought or unlocked via treasures.

KoDOmega WE DON'T TALK ABOUT NIGHT TERROR. PLEASE NO

How to beat Night Terror: Use Siegfried. Press Y. Repeat.

Night Terror was a joke compared to Shin Akuma and oddly enough easy when I used Nightmare. Fight fire with fire I guess.

KoDOmega flashbacks to seiki or evil ash from kof xiii

The most disappointing story ever it's just shit and dumb and doesn't even make sense.

.

I know this is a reply 2 years later but you have to at least understand there's a levels of cheapness. Final bosses can be cheap, but they can be so cheap that it nearly ruins the experience.

In Galaxy Fight, all the characters are cheap. But you just have to fight smarter. Not harder. That is why I love it.

There exist fighting games that don't do that?

@@gurvmlk skullgirls if you understand the game you realize the final boss isn't cheap but a test of everything you learned ir should learn while playing she's basically a final exam

@@romellpoellinetz7435 That is indeed what any good final boss should be, regardless of the game genre.

Yeah...I don't mind it because I enjoy playing online but I do understand why someone would like there to be more stuff to do offline

This still doesn't make any sense to me. I mean yeah fine tuning the game is important for a competitive fighter like this but don't they have a separate team that could have worked on new modes and such alongside it? I mean, they literally could've just copy pasted older modes from all the other games and no one would even be complaining right now since those modes are pretty timeless. Only excuse I can relly think of for this is that its a new engine so porting that stuff over probably isn't as easy as it sounds but still...

HÖBBITZ Hell they did not change the game to be more competitive friendly, they changed it so it is more beginner friendly.

SO true! My fave part of the game was being with friends on the couch playing Team Battle! That was great for tactics of how you selected your team. Encouraged you to try new ones. And of course, dress them in team colours. ;) If they’ve included Team Battle, Survival and Time Attack, I’d forgive the lack of character endings and with the extras like music selection, old movies-rewatch etc and the gameplay I’d say it’s the best Tekken. But at least Team Battle, come on Namco WTF! :/

The Alternate History of PlayStation 2/Xbox Cover Shooter Kill Switch - Part 2 Besides announcing Switch, Namco also shows games for PlayStation 2 at TGS 2000 and at E3 2000, such as Ridge Racer V, Tekken Tag Tournament, Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, and Densen (Japanese for "power line"). In Densen, the player as a young girl traverse floating islands of various homes connected by power lines. Despite being unreleased, Densen was a prototype game that end-up became the 2004 title Katamari Damacy. In November 2000, the mystery game was revealed when Namco design team and Sandlot development team, as well as the D3 publishing team, watched kaiju monster films like Godzilla, Mothra, and Gamera, and Kazunori Sawano, the creator of Galaxian, and Shigeru Yokoyama, the creator of Galaga, wanted Namco, Sandlot, and D3Publisher together to make Switch as a spiritual successor to both games. Galaxian is a 1979 fixed shooter arcade video game developed and published by Namco. The player assumes control of the Galaxip starfighter in its mission to protect Earth from waves of aliens. Gameplay involves destroying each formation of aliens, who dive down towards the player in an attempt to hit them. Designed by company engineer Kazunori Sawano, Galaxian was Namco's answer to Space Invaders, a similar space shooter released the previous year by rival developer Taito. Space Invaders was a sensation in Japan, and Namco wanted a game that could compete against it. Sawano strove to make the game simplistic and easy to understand. He was inspired by the cinematic space combat scenes in Star Wars, with enemies originally being in the shape of the film's TIE Fighters. Galaxian is one of the first video games to feature RGB color graphics and the first ever to use a tile-based hardware system, which was capable of animated multi-color sprites as well as scrolling, though the latter was limited to the starfield background while the game itself remained a fixed shooter. Galaga is a 1981 fixed shooter arcade video game developed and published by Namco. It is the sequel to Galaxian (1979), Namco's first major video game hit in arcades. Controlling a starship, the player is tasked with destroying the Galaga forces in each stage while avoiding enemies and projectiles. Some enemies can capture a player's ship via a tractor beam, which can be rescued to transform the player into a "dual fighter" with additional firepower. Shigeru Yokoyama led development with a small team. Initial planning took about two months to finish. Originally developed for the Namco Galaxian arcade board, it was instead shifted to a new system as suggested by Namco's Research and Development division. Inspiration for the dual fighter mechanic was taken from a film that Yokoyama had seen prior to development, where a ship was captured using a large circular beam. The project became immensely popular around the company, with Namco's president Masaya Nakamura even taking interest.

And what did this happen with?

@@big7pointer Only Eliza to be honest

big7pointer oh yeah and characters like Marduk armor king and many more characters that should be unlocked rather than bought

TheNekoGentleman yeah because heihachi as his adopted son's thing wearing ass slave was soooooo reasonable...

@@andrewmarshall3408 At least Lee Chaolan is an OG cool character unlike Trashy Chloe.

They are also so short but I love em

Xiao not being involved in the actual main story was particularly egregious to me given her ties to Jin & Heihachi they did her dirty

I feel like that was a set up for Christy to return.

Why?

Did you watch Lucky Chloe's ending?

Oh yeah that lol. I already blocked that from my mind

because they shat all over his story arc

Poor Kenny.

rottenlaranja that scrubs can’t handle tekken

You do realise that is just an excuse which does not change the fact that it's a halfassed game, right

@Harry Warburg none, it takes month or years to get really good

boitahaki I said the same exact thing it’s the best fighting game I ever played hands down 🙏🏽

They could handle the Tekken style

I'm surprised he hasn't done Wipeout Omega Collection yet.

Faisal Plays No worries, the "smartest man on Earth" Stephen Hawking gives the Earth one hundred years before we either vacate or perish. Google it, food for thought.

FFS he really needs to do it, it's the best not ND Crash ever made

i dont think its Easy to make a video when you have Been dead for 900 years

Defiler Rulez I agree, for it not to be made by ND it was impressive, what do you think of the non insomniac Spyro games?

He's busy fighting Spindly Johnny

TheDefectiveTurret good idea, we will grab a shaver and infiltrate his house shave it. Then he will be free from his control 😂

Shaggicarus

Zoinks

Ruh-oh!

Well she is dead so

canles she started the entire devil bloodline, pretty sure she had a big role

@@thatmonkemanzelinki2185 I think OP meant more of a presence.

And MVSC Infinite)

Talibanana What's wrong with Street Fighter V?

K1d Nova tons of things.

@@Starmar It's shit

@@unidentifiedbeing7242 True

Most importantly still not an excuse to be in the fucking game in the first place.

@@unidentifiedbeing7242 "I'm here to avenge Kazumi!" *Fails every time* lol

While I wholeheartedly agree with you on this, Jun actually can't be in any main-line Tekken series games anymore. She died canonically between Tekken 2 and Tekken 3. The only reason she's in Tekken Tag 1 and 2 is because they aren't canon and contain all characters from all games that weren't externally licensed (like Gon). That said, pls Namco bring back my boi Ganryu the Sushi Train.

Dan Jun did NOT die, She went missing.

TekkenPT and then JUNE 2, 2017 somewhat made it felt like JUN would return since the 2 was the second installment Jun appeared him, then JUNE... take away the E and you get Jun. :P Coincidence, I think not.

Jun is dead...

TTT2 is not cannon

MiniRunnera Plz in the next game Kazuya will be the super big bad and everyone in the story of the will be like MaYBe hEiHAcHi w@S rIGhT TREatInG KAzUyA SO BaDLy

Lack of unlockables is why my interest in TTT2's arcade mode went down. Game just one day decided to unlock all the endings 😐 Still played it for fun and for tag team combos. Haven't touched T7's Arcade mode because a) it's only 5 fights, b) it unlocks nothing and c) story mode AI put me off

ELJAS WASSBERG If the competitive scene can’t take a few hours to unlock some characters it just goes to show how lazy you’ve gotten

NixUniverse you clearly don’t understand tournament logistics

I do actually but okay

For a second I thought you were talking about unblockables. Unlockables are an outmoded mechanic which was and is cool but it makes zero sense for Tekken 7 for a multitude of reasons. One being that is gearing towards online, multiplayer and tournament play and the other reason is that some characters already have two hundred moves like Hwoarang and Ling. There is a form of unlockables in costumes. There's already a ton to explore in the game; my complain is there is no frame data available in game.

And have to sit at a loading screen after every round? No thanks lol. You'd spending more time loading than fighting

Bloodgazm NZL But Team Battle offline would still be appreciated to play with your friends on the couch. :(

I like the drawing too, but it makes all his videos look the same. Not to mention, the way it's put together doesn't give focus to cover of the game.

greatestgamer 00 Azazel was the worst boss battle in Tekken angry. Got me angry for hours up on hours upon hours. Shin akuma felt the same way, except I have less patience now so I gave up. in the past. my anger and determination kept me going. now, I say fuck it. It's not fun so not worth it

Yeah but compared to akuma azazel is like a cake walk

He said in comparison dumbass

Noah Downs Agreed, I thought Caddy overall nit picked a bit. Not that I don't agree with some stuff (Akuma fight) but it seemed like most of it was pushing it.

Noah Downs I agree. I prefer Tekken and 3d fighters, but I would never compare them or argue which is better, it's just what I prefer.

Of course it's gonna get compared when they put a 2D fighter in a 3D fighting game. They have themselves to blame.

the introduction of Eliza and Akuma (and the next DLC Geese) is, in my theory, to prepare for the eventual Tekken x Street Fighter game. I actually cant wait to see how Bamco will do some more of SF's characters.

They hella nerfed Akuma's landing frames when he jumps and just recently nerfed a lot of damage on moves. Overall I think he was implemented incredibly well into Tekken 7. An excellent high execution character.

DeathWing03 I had legitimately repressed the memories of violent ken, erased them from my mind, until i read your comment Dear god. The things he did to me...the many ways he hurt me...my face....my pride...but nost of all, my pockets...fuck man, my pockets...

Danny Ben S mine too

Danny Ben S yeah... Except this is easily the best tekken game. Tekken 2 is my nostalgia favorite but tekken 7 is easily the best one. Heck ots possibly the best fighting game in the last decade. Well guilty gear/blazblue are the best probably but they are way too hard and takes way too much time to learn. Tekken is hard and takes time too but i enjoy it a lot more

Tekken 4 for me

Kodennn no, you go sit in the corner and think about what you said.

My all time fav is definitely 5

Yes!!

CarozQH I agree soooo much! I hope they will put a Bloody Roar character into Tekken 7 as a guest character. Could help bring back Bloody Roar.

There's a game title I haven't heard in ages. Man those games were great.

It's my favorite fighting series joint with Tekken but unfortunately it's owned by Konami so we're screwed

Ranked of 3 is great lol

Previous Tekken games assumed you wanted a rematch and to change characters. Why they changed that for this game I have no idea.

Keegan Stormblade for anyone to make a complaint like that is ridiculous.

Tekken 6 is brutal where rage and one combo will take 90% of your life and you spend a lot of the game in the air. Good choice.

Me too...

You want a fighting game to contain single player modes? Like what game to be exact? I agree of the new cast been Trash, maybe two only stick to me and aren't copy from others the Roma and Arabic guys.

is it an ironic meme to hope a fighting game would ever have a good story? because that's never been the case

sfv has no arcade mode soooo

That isn't saying much, If anything Tekken 7 Arcade is worse then Soul calibur 5's Arcade mode.

Daniel Maia Tekken 5 was the best one!!!

Yasser Z no. because the game lacks content and didn't improve much.

When did he say that ?

Agreed!

You mean Kazuya's normal Rage Drive?

Devil Within was a trash mode though, Tekken Force in Tekken 3 and 4 and The Mishima Saga in Tekken 7 is certainly a lot more enjoyable than that. Tekken 1 has also aged poorly and there is no reasons going back to it in this day and age. Tekken 7 also had more substantial character customization options compared to Tekken 5 (though worse than Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag 2 honestly, which is a bit sad). You're right about the arcade mode though, it's certainly a lot beefier in Tekken 5 with CG endings for each character even though Jinpachi was a bit cheap.

t7 has more characters tho. and T7 has all cinematics from t1-17 and also the ost from all tekken games, where you can make your playlist. Sure this game doesn't offer many offline modes, but the main focus of tekken 7 is on competitive gaming, because there is no future for fighting games to focus on the casuals. the people complaining about the lack of single player modes are only a small percentage of the today's tekken community.

771dego that's a bs reason not to have single player content.

Amir_7 T7 HAS MORE CHARACTERS?!?!?!?!?!? WTF R U HIGH?!?!?!? DO YOU REALISE HOW MANY F*CKING CHARACTERS 6 HAD?!?!?!?!?

ZimpanX T7 customization is trash. It has so much potential, yet has little quantity for each character.

TaVenitas Game of the year in my opinion

He doesn't like turn based games.

TaVenitas he doesn't like good games

Because fighting games are competitive in nature and fighting the cpu is boring as shit lol the fun aspect of fighting games comes from increasing your skill in the game and overcoming enemies by learning and adapting. Beating a bot that only blocks 20% of the time is not fun, regardless of whether it's arcade mode or the old survival mode from previous titles.

The content in this game is becoming good at the system, which takes a lot longer than a 12 hour story mode.

Games are made of many elements, not just one; take Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes for example, which had some superb content that lasted an hour.

Fighting games especially Tekken have high skill ceilings and becoming good at the game IS the content, Metal Gear Solid 5 was just a shallow game with polished gameplay spread over lackluster game design. Tekken is about one thing and one thing only, challenging fighting, and getting good at even one character takes far longer than any other game, which is why it's not for most people.
