Comic Con 2015 – Tekken 7 Concept Art and Rise of Incarnates

by Rip

I spent this past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, mainly focusing on playing Tekken 7 in the SDTekken room. Usually Namco has a panel to talk a little bit about Tekken and other projects they have going on. This year the focus was on the concept art for Tekken 7 and Rise of Incarnates. They mainly went over the concept art for the new characters in Tekken 7 – Kazumi, Gigas, Shaheen, Lucky Chloe, Claudio, and Josie Rizal. They don’t usually show so much of the concept art but I appreciate the effort and hope they put it in the game as extra content when it finally comes to console.

Tekken 7 – Comic Con 2014 – Recap

by Rip

Hey guys, last weekend was San Diego Comic Con. Bandai Namco had a fighting game panel in which they talked about a bunch of stuff for an hour including Rise of Incarnates, the CGI opening movie for Tekken 7, and finally more details about Tekken 7 itself. You can catch the full panel on the Youtube Channel, or if you’re just interested in a quick recap of the Tekken 7 information, check it out below. BTW, shoutout to all of our subscribers as we recently crossed the 20k barrier. Thanks everyone and if you haven’t already done so, please subscribe!

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 – Online Preview – Comic-Con 2012

by Rip

We were lucky enough to be invited to the Namco/Microsoft Tekken Tag Tournament 2 After Party this past Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel. At the party Namco showed off a new build of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 that featured the online play. 8 stations were setup in a network (so it was always 5 bars) and we would be randomly assigned opponents as if we were online. For the most part, lag was non-existant, but again its 5 bars on a local network, so its pretty much expected. Hopefully this bodes well for the online play going forward though! Best feature = mini practice mode between matches! Also, when connecting to an opponent it shows their disconnect rate! I recorded two short clips that show some of it in action – check it out after the jump and remember that this build is a work in progress.
