The backgrounds have also been improved, with all the pseudo 2-D buildings and structures of the arcade game. Of course, the PlayStation version will have a rendered intro along with ending cinemas for each of the characters.
We should also put to bed rumors of Tekken 3 needing an add-on to work properly. Mike Fischer, Namco's director of marketing, says that no add-on will be needed to enjoy the PlayStation version of the arcade hit. But is the system capable of reproducing the visual pizazz of the System based arcade game? We'll let you know when we get a playable version.
If you're wondering what exactly is going to make the PlayStation version of Tekken 3 different from the arcade version, then this update is for you. Last issue we gave you the general info on the arcade hit--this time around, we're giving you a look at this new, PlayStation-exclusive character. The little dino in the pics is a popular Japanese comic book personality named Gon. This small-fry may not look like much, but as you might guess, he packs quite a punch.
Looking at the screenshots, you can see he's kicking the living crap out of Jin. Chances are, the arcade secret characters will be included in the home version, but we'll have to wait and see if Namco will put in more PS-exclusive fighters. Keep an eye out for future EGMs for more updates. Don't call him a carnosaur Based on the hugely popular Japanese picture book which features gorgeously detailed black-and-white illustrations by Masashi Tanaka, Gon is a small charismatic reptoid ot indeterminate sex and species.
Part dinosaur. In some of the books, Gon will take on as many as five different foes including piranhas, wolves, and a Bengal tiger , but in Tekken 3, he'll have to contend with at least 19 characters, possibly more. Will the tough Triassic terror be able to keep up with his martial-arts colleagues, or will he be sent back to the evolutionary slush pile to fight elsewhere?
We won't know until Tekken 3 for the PlayStation is released later this year, but the addition of Gon could mean a fighting game that's as fun as it is tough. It looks like Tekken 3's development for the PlayStation is proceeding at a blistering pace. Namco of Japan reports that the game will feature all of the arcade's characters, including hidden characters, along with the usually stellar practice mode and a few features not found in the arcade.
If Tekken 2 was the reason you bought a PlayStation, then Tekken 3 will be the reason to keep it. Smell that? It's your fear stinkin' up the room Here's what we know: Tekken 3 is coming out for the PlayStation, and we speculate it will appear in either late March or late April, with the Japanese import version hitting first just like Tekken 2.
That means if you haven't gone down to your local arcade to play Tekken 3 yet, then you'll have only a couple of weeks to practice--and that's not nearly enough time to master this game!
Tekken 3 is set to bum up your PlayStation with some blistering moves and a whole lot of feverish fighting-game action!
We've gleaned a few precious and exclusive facts from Namco, and although the company isn't saying much, we've learned that the home version of T3 will contain all plus fighters from the arcade version, along with two new extras--Con see "Special Feature: Tekken S for PlayStation," February , and possibly Dr.
Boscono-vich, the scientist from Yoshimitsu's Tekken 2 story cinema. Namco also stated that if it does use the Doc, he'll have his own fighting style and exclusive all-new moves. In other words, he won't be just a palette-swap character. Namco claims that Tekken 3 will be faster than Tekken 2 which seems almost impossible , with faster bounce-backs from falls, more escapes from tackles and stuns, and new throws.
There will also be secret characters many still haven't been seen in some arcades because they're time-locked , along with hidden costumes for each character and new computer-rendered intros and endings. Additionally, Tekken 3 will come home featuring sidestepping moves for complete 3D control that will enable you to circle degrees around your opponent.
This new addition to the Tekken PlayStation series should guarantee more strategic matches and fewer cheap wins using simple thumb-mashing tactics. The other improvements Namco is making are things you'd expect to see in a fighting-game sequel-more hit combos and new fighting styles, including two new kung-fu styles and the introduction of capoeira, the Brazilian martial art that's a cross between karate and the macarena see sidebar "The Courtship of Eddie's Fighter".
In its commitment to realism, Namco motion-captured the fighting styles to , make them more accurate. That's all we can share for now, since Namco is being very hush-hush about the project.
Although some have openly wondered if Namco is rushing Tekken 3's PlayStation release, it's more likely that Namco's taking good care of its baby and checking it twice to make sure that Tekken 3's just as great at home as it is in the arcades. Every fighting game this year will be compared to the champion of all fighting games-Tekken 3.
Now that we've seen what Tekken can do, the question is: What can surpass it? Tekken is without a doubt the fastest, deepest, most intricate fighting game we've seen for the PlayStation. In order to outshine Tekken 3, a game will need to have a ton of moves T3 has over per character , multihit combos all T3 fighters can pull off hitters , outstanding graphics T3 has no breakup on the fighters, no blind spots" where clipping occurs, and no slowdown , and seamless gameplay that includes juggles, counters, and linking moves.
So far, nothing comes close. First off, Tekken 3 has such a vast array of special and regular moves that it's impossible to pull them all off in a single match. You could play through the entire game as one character and still not see all they have to offer.
To augment TB's replayability, Namco threw in some exciting extras not found in the arcade version, like the Tekken Force mode, the Beach Ball mode, and an extensive and truly helpful Practice mode.
The Tekken Force mode plays a lot like the game Fighting Force: First, you select a character, then battle your way through an army of bad guys, street thugs, and hoodlums a la the beat-em-up game Streets of Rage. At the end of each level, you'll face off against another Tekken 3 fighter as you grind your way to the finish. The Beach Ball mode is a funny fighting game that plays like aggressive volleyball. You fight over a net line painted on the ground, while a beach ball floats overhead.
If you smack the ball and the ball in turn hits your unguarded opponent, you score. Tekken 3's Practice mode is one of the best we've seen in a fighting game. You can set the hit registers for three-, four-, or six-hit combos, track moves, and play against the computer which does moves based on a menu selection or a live player.
The PM is perfect for beginners, and it will certainly help Tekken 3's inter-mediate fans become experts.
