Tekken 6: Not so High Definition.

This is awful news about Tekken 6.

Tekken 6: Not so High Definition.

How is it that other games like Soul Calibur 4 & Street Fighter 4 managed to run it in real HD, yet Namco Bandai, who spent years developing this game, can't even manage to run it in 720p? There should be no excuse for this whatsoever. Both consoles are more than powerful enough to do that. Plus the 360 version with motion blur? Good grief. That is so lame.

EDIT:

According to the user MortalDecay, in which he read the article, he said both versions have motion blur & run at Sub-HD resolutions. But, when you turn the motion blur off on the 360 version, the resolution jumps to true 720p HD. If you turn the motion blur off on the PS3, it'll stay at a Sub-HD resolution.

Hopefully, that clears things up.

A fighting game not in at least 720p in this day and age, LOL. Even Dead or Alive 4 had 720p support and that was one of the 1st fighting games this gen.

i remember the developers saying this game cannot run on the 360, andsome cowseven laughed at DOA4 gfx saying, its DOA3 in HD.

Resolution aside. I'm not so sure about bloodline rebellion, but I've played the arcade version of the original. And the visuals just plain suck. The stages looked horrible and the character models were pretty mediocre compared to SC4.

Definitely won't buy it if it doesn't have at least 720p. That should be a requirement for games by now.

You said it. I'll still get this game, though, as I'm a fan of this series, but hearing this news, it's ridiculous.

Arcade Tekken 6 was on PS3-like hardware board, it easliy runed 720p i think.

thats just weird if true, since the arcade machines for tekken are ps3s inside arnt they?Totalgym9000

I'm still buying it.

This game was already looking very lackluster. This just adds on top of it. Tekken 6 = huge meh.

I will still buy it though this gives them no excuse to port it over to Wii.

theres no reason anybody should care about this, except for the purpose of lulzing. tekken sucks.

I agree, i mean, if and HD console can't pull it off in HD, the wii should obviously be a direct port.

What, with the Wii's superiour GPU and all.

Anyway, the arcade board is PS3 based and we already know the resolution of the arcade version.

My vote is this is one of those few, magical multiplats that run at a higher resolution on the PS3.

It's not a big deal.

I'm not at all surprised, given that most of the major console titles this gen haven't been native HD.Vandalvideo

The link to the article stated that PGR3 was not in HD with the gameplay but i thought that game looked great! So if tekken 6 iseven close to that I'll be happy. I donno how it'll look on the PS3 since the PS3 doesn't have a scaler. But I'm gonna call this a non-issue for now, I can make any concrete statements when the product isn't finalized.

buh, buh, buh 60 frames a second!

Doesn`t it mention that there is no real difference in increased resolution image quality. If that is true, then I am all for smoother frame rate and more special effects. Just because you run PONG in 1080p doesn`t make it better than a 540p game with amazing Crysis like graphics.

Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection Online supports native 1920 x 1080p x 60 fps and I still will chose Tekken 6 BR all day.

If you read all the article the most notorious section is about how bad is Halo 3 in terms of sub 720p res, no AA and no 60 fps, so if 11 million users can buy Halo 3 another 8 can buy T6 BR as in the good Tekken 3 times. I personally don't care a lot about criticisms towards T6 BR, because is the first game I'll buy in consoles since KZ2 in february. In fact, I'll try to buy the arcade stick edition, also.

The arcade board was pretty much a PS3 since when it started up you can see the kiosk.

The arcade board ran at 720p. The graphics look amazing for BR, better than any other fighting game thus far.

so PS3 tekken> 360 tekken. Most people will pick this up for PS3 anyways.

Who cares, tekken sucks anyway.............................lol, I can't even say that with a straight face. Tekken is hands down the best fighting series ever. I don't see why it gets so much hate around here. Anyway, the graphics are the best in fighting games today, a few missed pixels won't hide that.iKINGBOBi

"So, what's going on? We'll be producing a more in-depth report once we've taken a closer look at the PlayStation 3 version of Tekken 6, but in the case of the Xbox 360 version, the reduction in resolution is also backed by additional processing of the texture quality. So in choosing between the two options, you're effectively selecting fewer jaggies (768p) instead of nice motion blurring, and higher quality, sharper textures (576p)."

Interesting.

Yup, I spent a good minute switching back and forth looking for differences :P

So what? It's still the best looking fighter out there. You wouldn't even notice unless you were told.
