Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Arcade/PS3/XB360)
Like TTT1 was an updated Tekken 3, this game looks like an update of Tekken 6. Partner can now trade hits within a juggle, which may be very gay or totally hype depending on your views. Coming out in a timely manner, though. |

Would be happy if they just added a tag feature to 6 as DLC. Will have to see how much gets added to see if it is worth it.

Dunno, Tekken Tag just wasn't as fun as straight up Tekken 3 for me. I suppose it might be good if they keep shit like stage breaking and add a couple of people, seeing as it's not a main series game.

TTT was pretty much me and my guy's favorite Tekken before T5 came out. Seriously fun.

Joystiq: How long have you been working on Tekken Tag Tournament 2?
Katsuhiro Harada: Actually there was some talk at first of doing this before Tekken 6 came out, but when we discussed it amongst ourselves and the team we felt like we first wanted to make a proper sequel to 6 to see how far we could push the limits of our graphics engine on that hardware before going to Tag. As you've seen for yourself in the trailer, we have three or four characters on the screen at once so that's simply twice as much power needed than previously for example in Tekken 6. So obviously trying to do that right off the bat earlier on would be much more difficult. If it's running on the same technology as 6, which came not only to arcades but to consoles, what are your console plans for Tag 2? As we announced, it will see an arcade release first. That's where most of our efforts are focused on at the moment. But that being said, we do want to provide a chance for all of our fans abroad to be able to enjoy the game. That's about all I can say at this point. The first Tekken Tag Tournament came out in 1999. Why did it take 12 years to go back to a tag-based fighter? As I said on stage, it was pretty much the result of many years of the fans giving us feedback that they wanted tag. At first, for the development team when we started out we had [Tekken] 3 and we thought the natural progression would be to go to 4 and 5 and such as a proper roadmap. Tag came about, first of, as an idea that I had after about five minutes of thinking. We were all really quite surprised when that took off and gained the popularity that it did. So we had to rethink the roadmap again once more. After working on the proper sequels and still considering all the fan feedback and how much that has just gradually increased over the years and gotten to the point where we just really had to seriously consider it. Tekken x Street Fighter was announced recently, and today you announced this. Both are high-profile games. How are you resourcing both of these projects? Are there multiple teams? Actually, before Street Fighter x Tekken and that whole announcement came about, Tag 2 was already in the works, so that's something that we've already originally planned for. Really the question is now "so what do we want to do with Tekken x Street Fighter?" It's getting a lot more people, and assigning them and such, as well as making game ideas on where to take that. What do you think about the recent resurgence of fighting games, with titles like BlazBlue, Street Fighter and such? Well, this is something that I've said before continuously. The Tekken series, if you look at it alone, each installment in the console versions sell about five million copies lifetime, and has continued for about fifteen years now. Plus the income from the arcades haven't really dropped off at all for the Tekken series in general. From our standpoint, it's not like anything has really changed much. The one thing that is noticeable perhaps is that other series, like Street Fighter IV coming back after a blank of about ten years or so, Mortal Kombat is starting to come back. I think that's where some of the changes are occurring, rather than us. We've been rather constant. [BURN] |

Harada lays out what he calls the "Fighting Game Festival" (in order):
TTT2 (Arcade) SFxTK (Console?) TTT2 (Console) TKxSF (Console?) This books Harada's team for the next two/three years (rumors of a Tekken 7 were misunderstandings, TTT2 was the next Tekken game he meant). This also books Ono-san's team for two years. So this 'festival' pushes back Darstalkers and Soulcalibur considerably. I can wait, we got good shit in the meantime. Harada also confirms character customization will be in TKxSF. |

Seriously. Between those games, SSFIV, BlazeBlue, MvC3, and SF III: 3rd Strike, there isn't going to be any time for Darkstalkers or Soul Calibur.

Me and Funky got our tekken on tonight.(It wasn't dirty, I swear.)
Started out pretty awful, as neither of us played in over a year. My Devil Jin and Lee were still beastly. Funky's Eddie and Christie were good, and he was killing me with bruce until i busted out law. Things started to come back to me by the last 4 or 5 matches, and I took them fairly easily. Though I'm sure once funky gets a little more practice we'll be even again. |

When Lili is mentioned on Harada's Twitter, he mentions Street Fighter Alpha's Karin. Both similar characters, and a highly random name drop. Harada is a bit more straight forward than Ono and doesn't tease as much. And a Twitter account posting as Sakura asked Harada if she can be in the game, and Harada said she had to fight Poison and Karin first for a position. Harada's dropped Poison's name a few times this week, and appears as weirded out by her gender controversy as we are.

The roster will not shrink from Bloodline Rebellion, will instead get larger (which is wild).
While Harada's team can now put four character's on screen at a high resolution and 60fps sustained, he's not sure what to do with this feat yet. |

DOA4 did it before VF5 and KoF before even DOA, so don't even start. I'm just appreciative that despite having 30+characters with surprisingly little spillover, they still have new styles coming in.

I know, it just seems the biggest cliché right now and a little bored of it. Wish they'd (and by that, I mean all the fighting game companies bar the BlazBlue guys) just get a bit more creative.
