Tekken 6 (鉄拳6) is the latest installment of Namco's Tekken series, which was released to Japanese arcades on November 26, 2007. It is the first game to be released on Namco's new (as of yet unnamed) PlayStation 3 based arcade board, is expected to be released for the PlayStation 3 sometime after Soulcalibur IV in 2008, and is currently regarded as one of the most highly anticipated PlayStation 3 games yet to be released.[1]


Story

The storyline for Tekken 6 has yet to be officially translated. According to fan-based translations, however, which have now been proven to be true by several gameplay videos, Jin Kazama has been revealed as the winner of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, and for unknown reasons has begun using the Mishima Zaibatsu for world conquest, declaring war on several nations and even space colonies until the entire world is at war.

Meanwhile, Kazuya Mishima has discovered the division of G Corporation that tried to kill him, and takes his revenge by murdering them all. Kazuya then takes control of G Corporation and uses it as the only power in the world to counter the Mishima Zaibatsu. By this time, the world sees G Corporation as its only saviour and Kazuya is viewed as a hero, although his true intentions are to kill Jin and steal his part of the Devil Gene to stop him interfering with his own plans for world domination. Using G Corporation's newfound popularity to his advantage, Kazuya puts a bounty on Jin's head, dead or alive. Furthermore, Heihachi Mishima, father of Kazuya and grandfather of Jin, seeks to reclaim his Zaibatsu, having been unconscious throughout the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.

Jin, having anticipated this, announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to rid himself of Kazuya and his enemies once and for all.

Content and new features

Director Katsuhiro Harada (who also directed Tekken 5) said that Tekken 6 will retain all of the elements from Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection that were well-received by fans. He also said that the stages will be bigger and will have more interactivity and the character customization feature will be more involved with gameplay.[2]

  • In Tekken 6, every frame animation for every character has been changed.
  • In Tekken 6, some stages are multi-tiered like Cemetery and Fallen Colony with new stage features and has daylight/night-time transitions (Temple Grounds) depending on the stage.
  • Tekken 6 will have an online versus multiplayer mode.[3]
  • The customization system from Tekken 5 returns with improved options and more items in Tekken 6. The player is able to switch tops and bottoms between available character costumes, as well as substitute alternate pieces. There are common options shared by many or all characters including various items like glasses, hats, decorative swords, a Japanese banner and options for 'bare hands' or 'bare feet'. There are also character-specific items and pieces, as well as special items that unlock Item Moves once equipped.
  • Tekken 6 adds a new "rage" system, which gives characters more power in a same way that charge techniques do, and gets automatically activated when the character's vitality gets low. When it is activated, a red energy field surrounds the character and their health bar starts to flicker in red.[4]
  • Tekken 6 also introduces "item moves", with which a character uses an item to attack the opponent (for example, Bryan Fury uses a shotgun, Anna Williams kicks off one of her shoes, Ling Xiaoyu attacks others with a pair of mittens, Nina Williams uppercuts with a scalpel, Asuka Kazama uses a paper fan, and Marshall Law whips around his nunchaku).
  • Tekken 6 introduces a new system named "Bound" system; after moves that knock the opponent down in juggles, the opponent cannot tech roll. A new bound comes into play, extending juggle possibilities.
  • Tekken 6 has an increased health bar compared to the previous games, due to new features stated above which deplete a lot of health.

Characters

Harada has stated that Tekken 6 will boast the greatest number of characters ever seen in a Tekken game[2] with a total of 41 characters. According to Namco, virtually all of the Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection characters will be returning (except Jinpachi Mishima) with new additional characters.

As of January 2008, six new characters have been confirmed. The first character, Zafina, is a female who will have moves Harada likened to that of a "spider"[2] and who enters the tournament to prevent the clash of the "two evil stars." The second character, Leo, is a German who is intended to be a character which can be played by beginners and experienced players alike. The death of Leo's mother prompts Leo to begin investigating the Mishima Zaibatsu. [2] The third character, Miguel, is a Spaniard with a passion for fighting, but no real discipline. Miguel wants to exact revenge upon the death of his sister at her wedding. The fourth character, Bob, is an American who is known as a martial arts genius. Due to being unable to defeat larger opponents however, he disappeared from the fighting world, determined to increase his weight and power while still maintaining speed. Bob enters The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to test his new skills.The fifth character, Azazel, is the final boss of the game. The Azazel's story is said to be related with Zafina and Julia Chang's story in Tekken 6 and the confrontation between Jin Kazama and his father Kazuya Mishima. The sixth character,NANCY-MI847J, is a hidden sub-boss whose story says she is an upgraded version of the Jacks for the Mishima Zaibatsu. The official site shows one more space on the selection screen which may be used for Azazel or another unlockable character.
