fun fact. the voice actor for the narrator during the story mode actually wanted to do a better job. but bandai namco said he should do it like that so he did. hes also the same guy who says :"get ready for the next battle"
Asylum117 That and they're also the same people who've said that Sonic is never good despite the fact that there ARE multiple Sonic games that have good score from them. And they're also the same people who didn't like Pokemon ORAS because it has "Too much water." They're other examples of their stupidity like giving the CoD games around a 9/10, but if I pointed out all their IGNorance we'd be here all week!
Kyle Lambert Man, you don’t know how sick and tired I am of seeing people pull that card. People like you criticize IGN for making stupid and ignorant decisions and videos and whatnot, but those of you that do that are just as ignorant as you make THEM out to be. A simple search of Call of Duty games they’ve reviewed on the website makes it clear that not every CoD game was given a 9 out of 10! Otherwise, they would’ve gave what is considered to be the worst one of the whole franchise, Black Ops Declassified on the Vita, a score like that if that was true. Don’t get me wrong, they do give some cruddy reviews, but they aren’t THAT incredibly biased towards a particular franchise!
I think the argument "Why do you care about a story mode in a fighting game?" is rendered mute when you consider the fact that you don't give a shit about characters if you don't know their goals, struggles, etc. Just take killer instinct as an example. The undead woman was played experimentally by players, but no one actually gave a shit about her, since we knew jack fucking shit about her.
Lallepop Lord of Ahegao MK9's story mode could be considered the main thriving force has to why fighting games needs to have a lot of attention to its story campaign
Lallepop Lord of Ahegao I think personality is conveyed more through the characters quotes, animations and fighting style. But to each their own I guess.
I only say this as a creature of habit but I much prefer your old background where you're sitting on your couch - I guess it makes me feel more... relaxed when watching. I know it's pathetic but I just really miss it.
Haha, well I sadly don't have that couch anymore, nor that striped background (moved house y'see). I have been thinking about doing these game reviews in front of a green screen (a la Angry Joe). But maybe sitting down is a better choice? I've no idea which is the best approach; gonna have to experiment :)
In regards to the missing characters from previous Tekken games, Harada has stated that there will be DLC for those characters, but those particular characters would be free. The guest characters from other franchises, such as Geese Howard, would be the only paid DLC characters available. Other than that, you bring up many fair points. Especially the lack luster story for the side characters.
Nice! Although I don't know if you have any plays to look into your most favourite Star Wars character, 'Jar Jar Binks', I figured I'd bring up the 'Darth Jar Jar Theory' and see if it might be an interesting read for you Unusual Suspect. After all, the actor for Jar Jar did say it was partially true. :P
I never ever expected you to review a Tekken game. I love this review and you hit every nail on the head, all my annoyances and praises with this game were addressed! Love this review, liked and fav'd :) Oh you mentioned something about characters coming with the season pass. But the season pass states that the 2 characters coming are guest characters, which is fine. But Lei and other demanded Tekken characters better not be added through paid DLC! -_-
Totally screwed up there; yeah, for some reason I missed out on the DLC description. I still think all the DLC should be free (cos this is how Tekken has done this in the past), but getting the old characters back for free is nice :)
4:01 I think they did that so that this character could represent the player. Granted, that doesn't make it less stupid but at least it would be SOMETHING to explain why he doesn't show his face. -_-
This. So pleased to find a critic echo my personal sentiments so concisely and deeply. Bought the Day 1 edition on PC and was frankly stunned by the lack of content depth. Honestly believed that it would literally match TTT2 in that regard, but alas...
I actually discovered Tekken series, when I first time played Tekken 4 Demo on PS2. My dad bought Tekken 5 and I fell in love with the game. The game has such memorable charaters, awesome gameplay and a really cool and well designed boss Jinpachi Mishima. Unfortenatlly some asshole who borrowed the game from me scratched the game and I couldn't play it, so sadlly I haven't been playing Tekken for years, until I got a PS3 and bought Tekken 6. Tekken 6 may not be as good as Tekken 5 in my opinion, but the game is still fun to play, if I know how to play some of the charaters and use their combos right. I heard Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a really good fighting game for PS3, so I am planning to get that game aswell, if I can find it at stores. Love your reviews suspect and can't wait to see more of them. Keep up the great work my good man! :)
Late to the party, but also a fan since Tekken 1, and I had all of the same praises and criticisms as you. Honestly didn't even notice the texture issues on characters, but yeah, fantastic fighting, super light on content. Atrocious online, disappointing that Bruce, Lei, etc aren't in the game, as well as team battle which was always my favorite mode. Great review man.
I feel like this review is going to describe MVCI in the same way - bad graphics, bad lazy attempt at story, absent characters and online issues... but look at the nice gameplay, woooooo! Starting to think most fighting game groups are just catering to the evo 'pro' crowd now with such an empathizes on this.
Well, to sum it up: Tekken 7 has basically every issue that every other current fighting game has. I´m still dissapointet that my favorite fighter Lei Wulong has returned. At least Lili is there... BTW I had the same expression on my face the WWE fan had, when I saw that Double KO
I've never really got into the Tekken franchise. I've only played Tekken 3 (I think. I was a long time ago.) and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. And because I was more use to the gameplay of the Mortal Kombat series, IE Mortal Kombat 9, I couldn't get into on how the game played in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Well that, and I was getting real frustrated with the final boss Unknown. I could get to her no problem, (granted on Easy mode. Again I wasn't use to how to play Tekken Tag Tournament 2) and then I'd get my ass kicked by Unknown.
Anyone else annoyed by that fact that in the Mishima Story Mode, every standard character has only one round to fight? Couldn't they have stretched it out like in the Classic Arcade Mode
Dude, you pretty much summed up how I felt about this game at launch, been playing Tekken since Tekken 2 way back in the day, and as much as I love the gameplay and feel of Tekken 7, I couldn't help but be disappointed. 11:47 says it all, why the lack of content ?
I know this is a minor thing but something that also bothered me was that Jin doesn't have a Character Episode. I know he appears in the Story Mode and all the other characters in the story mode don't have a Character Episode either. But the thing they all have in common is that you get to play as them at some point in the story... except for Jin. He is the only character that appears in the story that isn't playable and doesn't get his own Character Episode, Claudio wasn't playable in the story either (at least you got to fight him) and he got his own Character Episode so it really bugs me that Jin doesn't get anything at all...
Never played a Tekken game and I never really intend to, but I still watched this review because your reviews are always so good to watch. Your videos are the best on youtube Suspect!
This is an old review but... How come you didn't comment on the fact that a major part of the story involves the freaking guest character. Seriiously, the main antagonist of freaking Street Fighter is more important to the story than Jin
My thoughts 1st completely agree with the good stuff 2nd I loved the story from start to finish i wont say why cause spoilers 3rd i thought Character episodes were nice ( i can watch KUMA and Migules all day ) and better done than tekken 6's arena mode 4th Treasure battle having Ghost battle, survival and Bonus fights rolled into One i thought was sweet and makes it alot of fun 5th Old characters will be back but Team Tekken have said they will only charge for the Gust characters 6th i can wast half a day just in Customization and Juke Box AND 7th ( i swear thats not on purpose ) Loved your review It cracked me up DOOD keep up the good work and umm......lets see...........Oh yeah VR is pretty pointless this game didn't need it
They said any old Tekken character that gets added in will be free without the need of the season pass. the season pass is just for cosmetics, stages and two other guest characters.
It would have been nice if they had included a Character Creator as well. If Soul Calibur allows you to pick a Character's Weapon/Fighting Style, then surely Tekken could do the same.
Matt Thornton - Nahhh lol. Tekken is about picking from the roster and showing who represents you. Are you a cheeky trickster? Pick Lei. Are you a master grappler? King is your answer. Are you the best in the universe? Paul says hi. I feel like I'm the reason the slow-motion K.Os are in the game. But personally, I also hoped for a photo mode out of all things. On that note though, better customisation too (huge step back from Tekken Tag 2) and the grandest wish of them all would be a movie maker.
Yeah, about that paywall.....last I checked, all the DLC characters are limited to just guest characters. We already have Geese Howard announced, and now we wait till next year for the next reveal. I have heard nothing about any previous characters returning via DLC. Granted, I wasn't expecting Tekken Bowl as DLC, but that doesn't mean any character that isn't in the initial Tekken 7 roster will be locked behind a paywall. I'm not saying it won't, just that I don't expect it.
This was a pretty great review and right on the nose. I have a couple of friends who own Tekken 7 and they pretty much say that yeah the lack of any more game modes is definitely jarring especially when you compare them to the Past games but yeah all the other characters that are usually alumni they just disappear for no reason. It's still is a solid entry it just needed a bit more ironing out like make the story mode more interesting make arcade mode you know like how it usually is and give us Tekken Bowl which I have heard they are giving us that as DLC. On the bright side at least I won a match using Eliza so that's something I guess it may not mean much but damn it it's a victory with a narcoleptic vampire so I'll take it.
I haven't; I REALLY wanted to review it too! But I really need to get to work on Ep. 3. Tekken 7 is what I was more excited for so I reviewed that instead.
Fair enough; I would recommend it regardless. Fantastic game with a pretty sizable roster, story and visuals are brilliant as well! Looking forward to Ep.3 review, remember to take your time; don't rush it :)
You are wrong about character DLC, Harada has said Legacy characters wont be payable DLC. Only guest characters and Eliza cost. Other then that, good review.
I must be dreaming he posted something longer than 5 Minutes and it's not even a alignment of planets and no blood sacrifice was involved (that I know of).
*Yeah I agree, the final boss really pissed me off and the only way I could beat him was be on the defensive most of the time and counter.* Also the Double K.O. was freaking awesome to see and on the last match no less.
Well at least the roster is far more better then Soul Calibur 5, because that game took out a lot of my favorites characters, except Nightmare, Siegfried and Algol, but NO TAKI that really pissed me off.
Eh, I understand VR in Tekken specifically when I think of what used to be at a GameWorks near where I grew up: a Tekken machine with player inputs based on the physical movements of two people (kinda like Wii long before its time but full body). I think it was based off Tekken 2 or 3, but I am not entirely sure. It looks like the viewpoint is kinda screwed up; going from character perspective could be interesting, maybe with hands and feet visible (sorry, Kuma players). It was janky but a lot of fun.
Well if that is the case then kudos to Namco; but still, ideally all characters should be free. Harada's prided himself on giving out free DLC in the past, he should stick to his guns.
Personally, I honestly don't care about arcade mode, or the story, or whether there's little side things like Tekken Bowl (although I did spend a hell of a lot of time on that for some reason...) If I want any of those things, I'll read the wiki or load some brainless flash game on a browser. It really is all about the fighting, IMO, and I think Treasure Battle is a really good way of getting that in offline mode. I do wish it was easier to find online battles in my location though... The only thing I'd really like is a Blazblue or Guilty Gear style tutorial system, particularly since I am a TOTAL NOOB. I mean, seriously. I have a 10% win rate online as Hwoarang, and a 30% win rate as Feng... and that's my best character. EDIT: Oh, and yes, it is disappointing that some characters are missing. Would particularly like to have had Lei and Kunimitsu. And Bruce and Marduk.
You're so right about the game. I love the Tekken games but 7 was a disappointment for me...I wish you'd release more videos about movies and video games. You're truly one of the best and funniest reviewers I've seen in a while. You deserve so much more for your efforts.
Back then you only have to buy the game and that's it, no DLC shit. The whole game is already there, you just have to work/grind for the contents to be unlocked and i liked that. In tkken 5 they give you less than 10k gil every fight which makes you work for expensive items. And ending cutscenes cannot be unlocked with gold. But then i guess devs knew that they're TK7 endings were shit anyway so why work for it XD. Now they give you 90-120k per fight and the most expensive costumes are 1 mil. wow they really fed it into our mouths
I need to get into Tekken, I have Tag Tournament 1 on PS2 but I never had the time to play it Unless there's a better, cheap alternative, I'm all ears I'm more of an Injustice/Smash Bros/Marvel vs Capcom/Budokai player myself but I'm up to new things
Good review, but I'd personally give the PC version a 9 given that I've only been really playing online. I'd only really take points off for missing characters but all my characters are here except for Anna and Bruce and I rarely use Anna and Bruce
Dragonball FighterZ also has the same lack of content problem as Tekken 7, yet the community is really focused on controls and online lag (important certainly but what about amount of content that makes the game worth the asking price?)
you know man,the classic characters are said they will added for free,the only paid dlc you will get is eliza,two guests characters,more unique customizations and the tekken bowl mode,so you dont get more from them,also its understandable why they done with this game that,other fighting games do that as well and they get more sales and support/patches on the game,tekken tag 2 was supported just 2 months,while tekken 7 will be for a whole freacking year with more to bring to the table honestly most of the reviewers i seen for tekken 7,miss such infos or just dont look deep enough when they criticize it,so i expect from those who review to take some stuff in consideration and more other things,regular ps4 graphics looks like how they look cuz they cant handle the unreal 4 that good,blame the ps4 not handling bigger graphics,not the game,its more of sony issue,especially with the tekken tunes which you mentioned
Great review pretty much how I feel about the games as well BUT I dunno on what kind of a broken ps4 or tv you were playing the game on but I don't have any of these graphical problems,long loading times or frame rate problems like you did(that PS4 should be cleaned if it has those performance issues).The game overall is less detailed than Tag 2 .Man in Tag 2 the character models had so much going on and they were showing the characters age as well but here we are back to Tekken 4 everyone is 25 years old models.If they just used their inhouse engine Tekken 7 would have had amazing graphics not just ok.But yes the normal PS4 version has a slight blur filter build in to make you feel like the Pro looks better.I'm sorry but regular PS4 can pull off amazing Uncharted 4 graphics and Namco mean to tell me it can't pull off 2 guys on screen in a small stage graphics properly .... sure .And don't even get me started on how some characters hair like Jin and Kazuyas looks like it has duck tape taped over it,Lili's hair looks like it's a wig.The graphics are just not up to par with Tekken standards ,sadly even Injustice 2 blows them out of the water

fun fact. the voice actor for the narrator during the story mode actually wanted to do a better job.
but bandai namco said he should do it like that so he did.
hes also the same guy who says :"get ready for the next battle"
IGN don't know how to properlly review games if their own life depended on it. You should have known this by now Suspect.
Asylum117 That and they're also the same people who've said that Sonic is never good despite the fact that there ARE multiple Sonic games that have good score from them. And they're also the same people who didn't like Pokemon ORAS because it has "Too much water." They're other examples of their stupidity like giving the CoD games around a 9/10, but if I pointed out all their IGNorance we'd be here all week!
Kyle Lambert Man, you don’t know how sick and tired I am of seeing people pull that card. People like you criticize IGN for making stupid and ignorant decisions and videos and whatnot, but those of you that do that are just as ignorant as you make THEM out to be. A simple search of Call of Duty games they’ve reviewed on the website makes it clear that not every CoD game was given a 9 out of 10! Otherwise, they would’ve gave what is considered to be the worst one of the whole franchise, Black Ops Declassified on the Vita, a score like that if that was true. Don’t get me wrong, they do give some cruddy reviews, but they aren’t THAT incredibly biased towards a particular franchise!
But IGN is that reviewer where you look at the comments to get a proper review.
I'm surprised he didn't mention that himself.
I dont care what video you put out, I'm watching all of your great reviews :D
hear hear
I think the argument "Why do you care about a story mode in a fighting game?" is rendered mute when you consider the fact that you don't give a shit about characters if you don't know their goals, struggles, etc. Just take killer instinct as an example. The undead woman was played experimentally by players, but no one actually gave a shit about her, since we knew jack fucking shit about her.
Lallepop Lord of Ahegao MK9's story mode could be considered the main thriving force has to why fighting games needs to have a lot of attention to its story campaign
Yes. MK9 did story mode correctly, and even made me like some of the less popular characters, such as Predator wannabe, and the ninja twins.
Lallepop Lord of Ahegao I think personality is conveyed more through the characters quotes, animations and fighting style. But to each their own I guess.
Lallepop Lord of Ahegao It's hard to give a shit about the characters when they are badly written and uninteresting.
HOLY SHIT NEW REVIEW!
I only say this as a creature of habit but I much prefer your old background where you're sitting on your couch - I guess it makes me feel more... relaxed when watching.
I know it's pathetic but I just really miss it.
Haha, well I sadly don't have that couch anymore, nor that striped background (moved house y'see). I have been thinking about doing these game reviews in front of a green screen (a la Angry Joe). But maybe sitting down is a better choice? I've no idea which is the best approach; gonna have to experiment :)
Stick with the grey background. Clean and elegant, and you won't ever have to fight a bad key or roast from the lighting needed for a good key.
In regards to the missing characters from previous Tekken games, Harada has stated that there will be DLC for those characters, but those particular characters would be free. The guest characters from other franchises, such as Geese Howard, would be the only paid DLC characters available.
Other than that, you bring up many fair points. Especially the lack luster story for the side characters.
loved your review as always 👌
Revenge of the sith next?
Work is now underway on it, yes :)
The Unusual Suspect
so we see it when?
The Unusual Suspect
Are you at the writing, filming, or editing stage?
Nice! Although I don't know if you have any plays to look into your most favourite Star Wars character, 'Jar Jar Binks', I figured I'd bring up the 'Darth Jar Jar Theory' and see if it might be an interesting read for you Unusual Suspect. After all, the actor for Jar Jar did say it was partially true. :P
Oscar McCormack you can check his progress on his blog
It's my birthday, I come home from college and see a new Suspect video. Day is made
I never ever expected you to review a Tekken game. I love this review and you hit every nail on the head, all my annoyances and praises with this game were addressed! Love this review, liked and fav'd :)

Man hearing how this game is lacking so much content, it feels like a rip off.
4:01 I think they did that so that this character could represent the player. Granted, that doesn't make it less stupid but at least it would be SOMETHING to explain why he doesn't show his face. -_-
Wait...if this is Tekken, then what the hell is Akuma doing here?! Isn't he a street fighter villain?
That double k.o. holy cheese balls!
this review is very very very close to mine on steam.
nice really nice man.
This.
So pleased to find a critic echo my personal sentiments so concisely and deeply. Bought the Day 1 edition on PC and was frankly stunned by the lack of content depth. Honestly believed that it would literally match TTT2 in that regard, but alas...

Love your reviews suspect and can't wait to see more of them. Keep up the great work my good man! :)
omg this is such a good review. subbed
Ooh, thank you very much! :)
Late to the party, but also a fan since Tekken 1, and I had all of the same praises and criticisms as you. Honestly didn't even notice the texture issues on characters, but yeah, fantastic fighting, super light on content. Atrocious online, disappointing that Bruce, Lei, etc aren't in the game, as well as team battle which was always my favorite mode. Great review man.
As an overall game, it sucks.
As a fighter, arguably the greatest fighter of all time.
Finally, an in-depth review on Tekken 7. As a long time Tekken fan, I agree with all the points made
I feel like this review is going to describe MVCI in the same way - bad graphics, bad lazy attempt at story, absent characters and online issues... but look at the nice gameplay, woooooo! Starting to think most fighting game groups are just catering to the evo 'pro' crowd now with such an empathizes on this.
So what you're saying is that Namco didn't learn their lesson from Soul Calibur V and pulled an EA yet again
Well, to sum it up:
Tekken 7 has basically every issue that every other current fighting game has.
I´m still dissapointet that my favorite fighter Lei Wulong has returned. At least Lili is there...
BTW I had the same expression on my face the WWE fan had, when I saw that Double KO
NEW REVIEW FUCK YEAAAH
I've never really got into the Tekken franchise. I've only played Tekken 3 (I think. I was a long time ago.) and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. And because I was more use to the gameplay of the Mortal Kombat series, IE Mortal Kombat 9, I couldn't get into on how the game played in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Well that, and I was getting real frustrated with the final boss Unknown. I could get to her no problem, (granted on Easy mode. Again I wasn't use to how to play Tekken Tag Tournament 2) and then I'd get my ass kicked by Unknown.
Good review as always keep at it mate
Anyone else annoyed by that fact that in the Mishima Story Mode, every standard character has only one round to fight? Couldn't they have stretched it out like in the Classic Arcade Mode
"Always unlocking new items." Get on that Blizzard!
Yeah, this is something I should've praised Namco for a little more; the constant unlocks in this game are great :)
@00:15, GASP! I'm eating a cake right now. XD
love the beard man👌
Haha, thanks! I sadly can't grow it out too much cos I got a weird bald patch underneath my chin. But a bit of facial fuzz I think suits me :)
That beard does suit you :)
The Unusual Suspect yeah it looks goooooooood!!(palpatine reference)
Without the prominent moustache to go with it though, it looks too much like a neck beard to me. Sorry.
Your reviews are great, no matter how long we have to wait it is always worth it. Thank you for the amazing reviews over the years.
Dude, you pretty much summed up how I felt about this game at launch, been playing Tekken since Tekken 2 way back in the day, and as much as I love the gameplay and feel of Tekken 7, I couldn't help but be disappointed. 11:47 says it all, why the lack of content ?

Never played a Tekken game and I never really intend to, but I still watched this review because your reviews are always so good to watch. Your videos are the best on youtube Suspect!
Thanks so much! :)
This is an old review but... How come you didn't comment on the fact that a major part of the story involves the freaking guest character. Seriiously, the main antagonist of freaking Street Fighter is more important to the story than Jin
hahaha that action music with the movie scenes, holy shit
My thoughts
1st completely agree with the good stuff
2nd I loved the story from start to finish i wont say why cause spoilers
3rd i thought Character episodes were nice ( i can watch KUMA and Migules all day ) and better done than tekken 6's arena mode
4th Treasure battle having Ghost battle, survival and Bonus fights rolled into One i thought was sweet and makes it alot of fun
5th Old characters will be back but Team Tekken have said they will only charge for the Gust characters
6th i can wast half a day just in Customization and Juke Box
AND 7th ( i swear thats not on purpose ) Loved your review It cracked me up DOOD keep up the good work and umm......lets see...........Oh yeah VR is pretty pointless this game didn't need it
the unusal suspect is like a bright light in this sometimes boring world that is UA-cam
Love the double critical game reviews and a cinema sings before the Revenge of the Sith review. You have my continued support! :D
Suspect uploads twice in one week? I'm in heaven.
best on the internet
Wow, that was a detailled sight
I share your opinion
Thanks for the great work
They said any old Tekken character that gets added in will be free without the need of the season pass. the season pass is just for cosmetics, stages and two other guest characters.
U should do an injustice 2 review to contrast the two fighting games
I really do wanna review that but I really should be getting to work on Ep. III.
The Unusual Suspect try it after ep 111
I would rather see the ep. lll review first
Looking at the game now, it's still very much alive today even with Season Pass 3 and even more entrants at it's 5th year at Evo.
Yeah, these reviews from 2 years ago have aged like milk
It would have been nice if they had included a Character Creator as well. If Soul Calibur allows you to pick a Character's Weapon/Fighting Style, then surely Tekken could do the same.
Matt Thornton - Nahhh lol. Tekken is about picking from the roster and showing who represents you. Are you a cheeky trickster? Pick Lei. Are you a master grappler? King is your answer. Are you the best in the universe? Paul says hi.

Yeah, about that paywall.....last I checked, all the DLC characters are limited to just guest characters. We already have Geese Howard announced, and now we wait till next year for the next reveal. I have heard nothing about any previous characters returning via DLC. Granted, I wasn't expecting Tekken Bowl as DLC, but that doesn't mean any character that isn't in the initial Tekken 7 roster will be locked behind a paywall. I'm not saying it won't, just that I don't expect it.
Life's good when suspect uploads
I dunno if anybody asked, but what do you think of the upcoming Spiderman PS4 game?
Your last review was 2 weeks ago. That was really fast.
I'm not complaining
Yeah, I've been trying to get 2 out a month. It's doable when I'm not focusing on the movie reviews.
@The Unusual Suspect Tekken 7 is turning into Soulcalibur 4, without weapons.
THEY REMOVED LEI ?! that's a fucking deal breaker for me!
I don't really care about video games. But I'll gladly watch ANYTHING that Suspect makes - and I'm never at a loss for enjoyment when I do.
This was a pretty great review and right on the nose. I have a couple of friends who own Tekken 7 and they pretty much say that yeah the lack of any more game modes is definitely jarring especially when you compare them to the Past games but yeah all the other characters that are usually alumni they just disappear for no reason.

Yesssss! New suspect review!!!!!!!
5:41-6:05
Who were you talking about, Devil Kazuya or Akuma in the special chapter?
I think, both of them. Or Akuma.
Offline: total dissapointment
Online: if u find a match in pc is cool
Love the video as always Suspect :)
Quick question: I've noticed your love of fighting games so i was wondering have you tried Injustice 2?
I haven't; I REALLY wanted to review it too! But I really need to get to work on Ep. 3. Tekken 7 is what I was more excited for so I reviewed that instead.
Fair enough; I would recommend it regardless. Fantastic game with a pretty sizable roster, story and visuals are brilliant as well!
Looking forward to Ep.3 review, remember to take your time; don't rush it :)
Great review man. Probably the best I've seen.
So is the episode 3 review already being written or are you still in that brainstorming stage? Just curious.
hey suspect do u think u can review any godzilla movies, either 1998 version or 2014 version, or the 1954 version?
My problem is the fact that Lei, Julia and Anna is missing!
You are wrong about character DLC, Harada has said Legacy characters wont be payable DLC.
Only guest characters and Eliza cost.
Other then that, good review.
I must be dreaming he posted something longer than 5 Minutes and it's not even a alignment of planets and no blood sacrifice was involved (that I know of).
Hwoarang main for life!!!! Awesome review dude thanks for posting.
*Yeah I agree, the final boss really pissed me off and the only way I could beat him was be on the defensive most of the time and counter.*
Also the Double K.O. was freaking awesome to see and on the last match no less.
Well at least the roster is far more better then Soul Calibur 5, because that game took out a lot of my favorites characters, except Nightmare, Siegfried and Algol, but NO TAKI that really pissed me off.
Eh, I understand VR in Tekken specifically when I think of what used to be at a GameWorks near where I grew up: a Tekken machine with player inputs based on the physical movements of two people (kinda like Wii long before its time but full body). I think it was based off Tekken 2 or 3, but I am not entirely sure. It looks like the viewpoint is kinda screwed up; going from character perspective could be interesting, maybe with hands and feet visible (sorry, Kuma players). It was janky but a lot of fun.
harada said all legacy characters will be free, only fighters from other games will be paid dlc
BUT Anna is Kazuya's bodyguard, just because Nina was Jin's.
3:39 Read that as "I was dumbfuck."
What do you think about Injustice 2, looking at this review i am more inclined of geting Injsutice 2 first then Tekken 7
You're the best reviewer in my personally
I think Namco say legacy characters like lei or Julia will be free but I will believe it when you see it these companies are not put friends anyway
Well if that is the case then kudos to Namco; but still, ideally all characters should be free. Harada's prided himself on giving out free DLC in the past, he should stick to his guns.
The Unusual Suspect I agree...
Love your videos! keep em comming :)
Thanks very much! :)
Great Video! But no 60FPS?
Love your reviews
Will you be reviewing other fighting games like injustice or street fighter
I smell a lot of DLC coming for Tekken 7 in the future
Personally, I honestly don't care about arcade mode, or the story, or whether there's little side things like Tekken Bowl (although I did spend a hell of a lot of time on that for some reason...) If I want any of those things, I'll read the wiki or load some brainless flash game on a browser. It really is all about the fighting, IMO, and I think Treasure Battle is a really good way of getting that in offline mode. I do wish it was easier to find online battles in my location though...
The only thing I'd really like is a Blazblue or Guilty Gear style tutorial system, particularly since I am a TOTAL NOOB. I mean, seriously. I have a 10% win rate online as Hwoarang, and a 30% win rate as Feng... and that's my best character.
EDIT: Oh, and yes, it is disappointing that some characters are missing. Would particularly like to have had Lei and Kunimitsu. And Bruce and Marduk.
Learn to duck and when to jump. Duck highs, jump lows (if possible). Press back for mids (guard).
The tutorial mode is trash. Look up avoidingthepuddle for Tekken tutorials or ThemainmanSWE.
You're so right about the game. I love the Tekken games but 7 was a disappointment for me...I wish you'd release more videos about movies and video games. You're truly one of the best and funniest reviewers I've seen in a while. You deserve so much more for your efforts.
Akuma is from Street Fighter! How did he cross universes?
Where in Britain is your dialect from? I've never heard it before. :)
I wish we were friends.
IS ON PSN SALE!.. BEFORE I BUY I NEED TO KNOW- DOES IT STILL HAVE TEKKEN TAG??
I was wondering what you thought about Tekken X Street Fighter?@TheUsualSuspect
Back then you only have to buy the game and that's it, no DLC shit. The whole game is already there, you just have to work/grind for the contents to be unlocked and i liked that. In tkken 5 they give you less than 10k gil every fight which makes you work for expensive items. And ending cutscenes cannot be unlocked with gold. But then i guess devs knew that they're TK7 endings were shit anyway so why work for it XD. Now they give you 90-120k per fight and the most expensive costumes are 1 mil. wow they really fed it into our mouths
I need to get into Tekken, I have Tag Tournament 1 on PS2 but I never had the time to play it
Unless there's a better, cheap alternative, I'm all ears
I'm more of an Injustice/Smash Bros/Marvel vs Capcom/Budokai player myself but I'm up to new things
Do you still have 100-percent on tekken 7 or are they some new trophies
Wait... Is Suspect growing an Obi-wan beard?
Good review, but I'd personally give the PC version a 9 given that I've only been really playing online. I'd only really take points off for missing characters but all my characters are here except for Anna and Bruce and I rarely use Anna and Bruce
Dragonball FighterZ also has the same lack of content problem as Tekken 7, yet the community is really focused on controls and online lag (important certainly but what about amount of content that makes the game worth the asking price?)
Such a good review!!!
you know man,the classic characters are said they will added for free,the only paid dlc you will get is eliza,two guests characters,more unique customizations and the tekken bowl mode,so you dont get more from them,also its understandable why they done with this game that,other fighting games do that as well and they get more sales and support/patches on the game,tekken tag 2 was supported just 2 months,while tekken 7 will be for a whole freacking year with more to bring to the table
honestly most of the reviewers i seen for tekken 7,miss such infos or just dont look deep enough when they criticize it,so i expect from those who review to take some stuff in consideration and more other things,regular ps4 graphics looks like how they look cuz they cant handle the unreal 4 that good,blame the ps4 not handling bigger graphics,not the game,its more of sony issue,especially with the tekken tunes which you mentioned
What is your PS Plus account name? If you don't mind me asking.
Whats your thoughts on Virtual Fighters?
Tekken 3 didnt give the characters background before the first fight
This game review is fun as hell
Only two characters from other franchises are gonna be in the season pass,old characters from tekken are gonna be free dlc.
Great review pretty much how I feel about the games as well BUT I dunno on what kind of a broken ps4 or tv you were playing the game on but I don't have any of these graphical problems,long loading times or frame rate problems like you did(that PS4 should be cleaned if it has those performance issues).The game overall is less detailed than Tag 2 .Man in Tag 2 the character models had so much going on and they were showing the characters age as well but here we are back to Tekken 4 everyone is 25 years old models.If they just used their inhouse engine Tekken 7 would have had amazing graphics not just ok.But yes the normal PS4 version has a slight blur filter build in to make you feel like the Pro looks better.I'm sorry but regular PS4 can pull off amazing Uncharted 4 graphics and Namco mean to tell me it can't pull off 2 guys on screen in a small stage graphics properly .... sure .And don't even get me started on how some characters hair like Jin and Kazuyas looks like it has duck tape taped over it,Lili's hair looks like it's a wig.The graphics are just not up to par with Tekken standards ,sadly even Injustice 2 blows them out of the water
