what to the Hi Res Tekken PS3

[benderx]

Hi, I wondering what happened to the Hi Res Tekken prototype demo for PS3. It looks extremely detailed, was it featured in any of the recent Tekken games or is Namco holding back until ps4 or ps5? There might of been a teaser video of this pic.

That just looks like promo CG artwork to me (not for a specific game). I haven't really heard anything about such a project... AFAIK, the Tekken team is working on 2 projects, both with no official timeline on delivery- Tekken 7 and the mythical Tekken X Street Fighter.

After the failures of TTT HD, I don't think they will be going retro any time soon. Especially with all the free metadata they are getting out of fans in Tekken Revolution.

Do you have any old links to show what you were talking about?

Well I found it was teaser for tekken 6, I think they were going ng to make this for tekken except they went multiplatform and I believe they held back on this. I thought the next tekken was going to let look stunning.

Multi-platform wasn't really the thing holding "higher res" graphics in T6 and TTT2, it was the customization features. They had to make the character models lower res and lower poly count to get all those goofy modifications and outfit pieces in for "easy" character alteration/customization. But to be honest, I was quite pleased with the character models in Tag 2, they looked great.

Since the vast majority of DLC these days for fighters is new outfits/colors/costume pieces (along with new characters/stages), this will always be cause for lower-'resolution' than they system is capable of, and I doubt they will abandon this direction any time soon, because micro-transactions/paid DLC are the meal ticket these days. So I fear your dreams of a stunningly Hi-res Tekken will likely never come to fruition... outside of CG cut-scenes, endings and movies.

Nope. Wrong! What even makes you think that? TEKKEN 6 was already complete and established running on PS3 based (sys 357) arcade hardware long before the thought of going multiplatform even crossed Namco's mind with the games BR update. All that is on that link you posted is a shot of a CG trailer that was released for the "proposed" Tekken 6 on PS3. I was at the E3 event when they showed it off for the first time. There is zero gameplay attached this CG trailer.

As cha cha mentioned. The game was purposefully built with low res characters from the start to fully accomodate robust character customization that won't compromise the games smooth framerate. This becomes even more paramount in Tag 2 where the games system has to sustain an uncompromised framerate in light customised character models and multiple characters on screen during tag segments.
I agree with cha cha. The games graphics still look good and Namco did a good job at improving the character model from 6(BR) to Tag 2.

Tekken 7 on PS4:

That all depends on what comes out first TxSF or 7. If history has proven anything on Namco's Tekken Project studio, its that they dont make the most of Sony hardware until a the 2nd and 3rd installment of their respective series. They have to familiarize themselves with the hardware on top of a very strict deadline to have the product ready for arcade market. TEKKEN may be the best selling fighting franchise in the history of the genre, but doesn't make as much revenue for Namdai as its release for the arcade sector in Asia. All I really hope for is that the conversion process between arcade to home is not much an issue as it was the previous gen. TEKKEN 6 to home was a disaster, and while Tag 2 was a vast improvement in being ported to consoles, its still doesn't look as good as its arcade counterpart. Although all the extra content thrown into console Tag2 made up for it in spades I suppose.

Am I missing something here? Isn't Tekken X Street Fighter old news? Sequel?

Street Fighter x Tekken came out. Which is Street Fighter with Tekken characters.

Tekken x Street Fighter isn't out. It's supposed to be Tekken with the inclusion of Street Fighter characters.

Also <3 Tag 2.

Tekken with the inclusion of Street Fighter characters.

So it's basically what I was hoping SF X T would be when I bought that. Awesome!

Will there be a PC release? What's the release date?
