Well, considering that sony has copyrights for Tekken home ports and that most likely there will be an arcade version first than rather a homeport I sense that this is a big bag of air...

Perhaps it means that Sony and the PS2 will get their own exclusive game(s) (maybe the Nina Williams game? Or is that multiplatform?) and then Namco will release Tekken 5 on all platforms to make more people happy. Just tossing out a guess here!

Soul Calibur 2 went multi-platform. When comparing sales records between multi-platform and exclusive deals, this doesn't sound too far fetched.

considering Tekken is a piece of shit, I really shouldn't care if it's on all 3 systems of not... but multi-systems seem more likely at this point since Namco is friends with Nintendo as much as (if not more so) then they're friends with Sony and SC2 already went to all 3 platforms.

This picture is unusally orange

Quite right.

Unless something has changed, Toxico is right and Tekken is still a Sony exclusive title. I don't know how Tekken could be made to be more like VF -outside of being 3D fighters the two series have nothing in common- but if T5 is coming out soon I hope Namco will bother to re-animate some of the characters this time instead of using the same models they've been using seemingly since T1.

Does this mean...!?

Mario in Tekken 5 for GC!?
Savage Dragon in Tekken 5 for X-Box!?
Yoshimitsu or Crash Bandicoot in Tekken 5 for PS2!?

I would love a Savage Dragon game. A fighter or a beat-em up. Erik Larson has some great character designs.

I´m always suprprised when i see someone praising The Dragon, considering how the sales seem to barely make Larsen break even... But yeah, that wouls so rock!

And did you know he´s taken Valentino´s position in Image?

yeah. I'm excited that he's now the editor in chief. Erik is a cool guy, I really wonder what he'll do now that he's in charge. Valentino was also great. But I'm really interested in what Eric is going to do.

As for Dragon. Yeah. It gets praise. But I think its kind of like, praise that Eric is such a hard worker and deserves a lot more attention type praise. I like Dragon, but I don't think its super duper duper duper great. Eric does a lot a good stuff but it just doesn't seem to be super hype. I don't know, hard to explain. He does have a lot of cool characters and designs-- that's for sure.

I was under the impression that their post made no sense because their native language was Fanboy-ese, rather than Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. If this is not the case, then I apologize. "EGM and Spong are suck" isn't very different from the sort of things that English speakers spout on any given day on a GameFAQs or IGN board, so I figured that they were just a fanboy, but I know that I should give people the benefit of the doubt on a board like this one.

After Sony stretched the definition of "PS2 exclusive" into a meaningless agreement that somehow allowed Rockstar to publish Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City on the Xbox, I wouldn't be willing to doubt any multiplatform rumors based on nothing more than a prior agreement. Sony is clearly willing to budge on this issue for the sake of its third party developers' bottom lines, so I really wouldn't be surprised if Sony decided to let Tekken become a multiplatform title in exchange for making Death By Degrees or a few other Namco games true PS2 exclusives. If PS2 exclusive deals become a burden for Sony's top third party game developers, then no one will take those agreements any more, and Sony will lose the only selling point of the underpowered PS2: the games.

I like this. I like the fact that games and consoles can be judged by the merits of the port instead of whether console xyz has the exclusive or not.

Its a vicious cycle that is finally being broken. I mean, a big reason the PS2 is popular is because of its exclusive 3rd party games. But 3rd party game devs only port to the PS2 because of the sweet Sony deals or because the PS2 is popular. But the PS2 is only popular because of its exclusive 3rd party games. But 3rd party game devs only port to it because its popular. But the PS2 is popular only because... and so on and so forth.

This breaking of 3rd party exclusivity can finally show the strengths and weaknesses of each system. And should reward companies like Nintendo and Microsoft for making such easy and powerful machines to develop on.

A more likely scenario is that the end of thirty party exclusivity deals will lead to an increase in buyouts of third party developers by console manufacturers. Then, instead of complaining (for instance) about how you wish that a certain Namco game were available on your console of choice, you'll be complaining about how you wish there were Namco games -- any Namco games -- available on your console of choice.

Sony is having to loosen its grip on its favorite third party developers in order to keep them, both as business partners and financially viable corporations. Microsoft has had to do no such thing for Bungie or Rare. If this trend continues (and the Tekken 5 rumor is really true), then Sony will learn from this, and Nintendo will yearn for the days when it had a big stake in a very profitable game developer. Oh, and us? We'll be screwed. Significantly more than we are now.

this could be a silly question but, does that mean that a Tekken 5 will be released soon??? Or at last in work-in-progress?

If so I hopes for Unknow's return she was the best Tekken boss visualy.

As a side note, pretty much the only Namco game released on the gamecube that actually met its sales expectations was Soul Calibur 2. The Tales game did well enough (though not well enough to make the series exclusive to the GC), but the other RPG whose name I'm blanking on did very poorly.

This one and the Tales one are going to ne released in the US and Europe? I don't own a Cube, that's why I don't know about their release dates, but I have some friends interested in them.

In teory it should be done before april next year 'but they haven't enough to show it on the E3'.

Yeah, they're announced here surprisingly. I'm anxious to play them, it's going to be the first Tales published here as well as the first Monolith Soft./Radical Dreamers game here.

Just got my new issue of EGM. It mentions Tekken 5 and its VF4-style overhaul, but mentions nothing about it being ported to all platforms. This is strictly Magic Box's error. Well, Magic Box and whoever tricked them.

Nosing around Magic Box I couldn't get into the news section for March 21 but I did find the following posted in the March 23 section:

RUMORS: EGM reported that Namco's Tekken 5 will be different from the past series, the game will become more like Virtua Fighter 4; and GameArts is working on a new sequel to Grandia.

What I want to know is, where did the comparison between VF4 and the still in rumor stage T5 come from? I doubt someone associated with Namco came up with that description since that would almost be the equivalent of saying "Itagaki was right, Tekken 4 was a piece of shit so we decided to make Tekken 5 just like Sega's last fighter."

The only thing that I have heard is that Tekken 5 will issue a lot of SC2 programers, that's mainly because SC2 -> Kind of success and Tekken 4 -> Kind of... not success.
