"Console Exclusive Content" Announced For Tekken 6
Tekken 6There was a time, way back in the day, when many video games hit the arcade first and only entered the home on a later date (and the arcade versions were vastly superior). Well, it's unlikely that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Tekken 6 will be inferior to the arcade version...especially if they have exclusive content.
According to Siliconera, the game's Executive Producer, Katsuhiro Harada, announced that the console iteration of this hotly anticipated fighter would indeed have "console-specific content." Now, the PSP version will get new levels and a few new character customization options, but what might PS3 and 360 owners receive? They wouldn't provide us with any details, but we're hoping the news breaks at some point in the next few months; perhaps at E3. Therefore, we can only guess and speculate: what do you want to see? If you've played it in the arcades, is there something new you'd like to have in the console version? New characters are always nice, but some die-hard fans might appreciate a new mode even more... Then there are the seemingly infinite multiplayer possibilities and character enhancement options; we're only tossing out a few suggestions, and we assume the fans have more. Namco Bandai does listen to their fans, so perhaps the console-exclusive content is something gamers have already asked for...? Well, either way, this release is gonna be huge.
We'll let you know as soon as the information arrives. It may be interesting if they decide to go the Soul Calibur IV route; i.e., give PS3 owners one thing and 360 owners another...

Virtua Fighter is good, but I never connected with any of the characters, they all felt bland and generic, at least compared to the colorful guys and gals that work the Iron Fist Tourny. Needs more flair I guess, and a guy wearing a jaguar mask never hurts, lol.
Plus, I never really gelled with having to press a button to block. I know it's a core part of the gameplay, but I preferred how Tekken handles it I guess.

Personally, what 'extra content' can you add to Tekken? If they think they're going to win friends by making certain well-known/used characters 'exclusive' from one version to the next. I think they're in for a surprise. It'd be like....making certain characters in Street Fighter, only available on one console or the other (Buy the PS3 version and get Ryu! Buy the Xbox version and get Ken!). It may actually backfire and end up hurting their sales. Cause, I've already got Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection on my PS3. Why can't they just give us all the game. Seriously? Why does this have to be one version versus the other? It's not actually improving sales or anything...you're just making people choose a cutdown version of a game (By cut down, I mean that it's not the full game...because the other version has something this one doesn't.) That makes absolutely no sense to me. And those frivilous packs on PSN/XBLA for sale, get nothing but ignored.

But I agree about the DLC situation, if it's on the disk when you buy it, you should NOT have to pay to enable it, be it costumes or extra modes. Whether it's Namco or Capcom pulling that s***, it's unacceptable and I glide right by those "add-ons" in the PSN store with a shake of my fist followed by a shrug of my shoulders.

Tekken is NOT a button masher, however to some extent any fighter can be. And the opposite is true, if you know and execute the commands properly then even SCIV can get very technically sound: you just aren't getting very far up or down the Tower of Souls by button mashing, or beating anyone online.

But to follow up before people get the wrong idea of what I said.
I'm not saying Tekken is a bad game. BMing is just a problem with Combo based fighting games. VF, SC and DOA has its BMing issues as well.

Its not that any given character has broken combos, Its just that they have too many variations of the same combos. Which makes it nearly imposable to push the wrong button. Making it very easy for people that have never played the game to pull of very long combos that look good. The game is very accessible.
And then there is the Juggling system. There is a reason people say that in Tekken "The person that knocks the other into the air first, wins". Juggling is really my biggest gripe with Tekken. Its something I wish hey would tone down considerably.

I still think there shouldn't be console exclusives and everything in the game should be equal and we should get both if they can release both, there are tons of space even for the DVD-9 on the 360. Also it's a freaking fighting game, which doesn't usually push the console's limits lol.
