Title: Do not underestimate the power of PS2 - Tekken 4
Post by: ##RaCeR## on September 18, 2002, 04:04:34 AM
I have just got to say that this would have to be one of the most graphically amazing games yet to grace the PS2, and in progressive scan mode on a hi spec TV or monitor, the results are even surpassed!

The game contains no jaggies, it is as smooth as silk, and runs at a constant 60fps. Whilest character models aren\'t really anything to rave about (there great, they really are, but nothing better then TTT. Similar to DOA3) but they do the job.

The thing that is really impressive is the amount of poly\'s this game can through around. The locations are massive, and I mean massive, and you can basically go where ever you can see. There are also so many spectators in many of the arena\'s, and they are suprisingly detailed.

The final arena has, no joke, about 1000+ individual moving spectators in this massive arena all moving around and cheering. They look fully 3D, and are quite detailed, though I have a feeling that it might be a trick to the eye (they certainly arent sprites though).

I gotta hand it to Namco, this is one sexy game, certainly on par to DOA3 (in a technical sense, but they are too very different games).

I really, really hope that they get started on Ridge Racer 6 soon, as Namco are really learning the PS2.

Yeah...even on normal TV  it looks great. I won\'t say total lack of jaggies but it\'s level of jaggies are acceptable and on par with the jaggies on the XBox, DC etc.

No comment on the progressive scan mode though since I don\'t have HDTV.

I also have Namco\'s Ninja Assault and it looks pretty sharp too.

Just hope Soul Calibur 2 will look this sharp as well. :)

I played it the other day and it does look great - although I am a bit underwhellmed by the characters. Apart from that though, this game is beautiful and the arenas, as you point out, are very nice. The picture quality is superb, especially on a good TV. Wouldn\'t mind trying it on a monitor...

So what you are saying is that this game is better that VF4?

I already have VF4 and I want to know if it is worth shelling out for this as well.

I have VF4 aswell, I\'m trading it in soon to put towards UT2003, does that answer your question?

I\'ve got 15 down on it and I am thinking about not even picking it up. THe more and more I think about it and play TTT , the more I realize I\'m just tired of Tekken in general. I may still pick it up  - I\'m not sure. Graphically, it\'s great. Gameplay, it\'s broken.

I agree...the Tekken spirit has lost me...not as fun as it once was. It is a sad day...(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F216.40.241.68%2Fcontrib%2Fedoom%2Fsad2.gif&hash=68e633dda7ab6556a826176ce52be4afd79f800e)

Tekken is just as fun as ever.  But it\'s a MULTIPLAYER game.

If you want a single player fighting game, stick with VF4, because nothing can touch it, but Tekken reigns supreme as a party game

(although probably because not many people actually bother to learn VF4 properly to make it good multiplayer)

wow! At least here in my store this game is suffering sales are way low. Maybe because VF4 spoiled a lot of fighting game fans? Could be just a slow start.

You mean Quake 4, not UT

ANyone who was a hardcore UT player, and I mean HARD to the BONE, find UT2003 purely eyecandy game.  When I play UT2003 I swear the game was programed by CarmACK 2 YEARS AGO, oH WAIT IT\'S EPIC???

Tekken 4 rules perhaps the greatest fighter on earth.  Steve fox is da man too.

Post by: rage_42 on October 06, 2002, 03:31:48 AM
the controls are unresponsive its a fact tekken tag was fluid  i loved it tekken 4 looks good but heck its a piece of crap you wonder why they took so long to release it heren think about  and that tekken fource game was pointless
Title: Do not underestimate the power of PS2 - Tekken 4
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on October 06, 2002, 03:54:27 AM
I can\'t even understand you.  Tekken 4\'s controls are just as, if not more, responsive than Tekken Tag\'s.

Or is it the jumping that is confusing you?

/me \'s Taki leaps silently from the rafters to the hard wooden floor. With a gleaming blade and a shreik, she burries Mekki-Maru into Raist\'s Steve Fox\'s neck. As she leaps out a window into the cool night air she repeats her favorite line:

"Dumbass Defeated, The Deed is Done."

:D :p :D

We\'ll just have to see about that if/when Namco ever gets around to doing a Soul Calibur vs. Tekken game. You\'d best hope they never do make one, you\'ll have to change you\'re team\'s name to "The nearly unstopable, only defeated when playin against SF\'s Taki, but still as powerful and scary in a slightly bruised and mauled way - but who cares since chicks dig scars, Steve Fox & Raist team"

:D
