Tekken 4 - Your thoughts

This game is out very soon in US, UK and AUS. Anyone got the JAP version?

Is it any good, are the arena\'s fully 3D? As in, can you fall off ledges etc like in DOA2?

Also, are the jaggies getting fixed for the PAL version like TTT did? T4 has got really bad jaggies in the JAP version, and I don\'t know why they didn\'t clean it up like the PAL TTT version.

Also, anyone tried it with progressive scan?

Tekken 4 jaggies???

i heard of it like a very clean game
it has an antialiasing feature

It has no jaggies.I dont know what he is talking about.

yea played the arcade and import constantly for the last year or so

ummm. . . game looks great and there is no edges to fall off - although things are all 3d

Doesn\'t the progressive scan mode need a special type of televison?

What exactly progressive scan is?

to answer your question about progressive scan I\'ll post an old link ign had explaining what it was and the benefits.  Note this is from a gamecube article so you may see the name gamecube in there a few times.

As you have probably gathered by now, progressive scan is the most important factor when it comes to GameCube\'s digital video output. By hooking your GameCube up to a progressive scan capable TV you will be able to see 60 full frames every second as opposed to 30 full frames per second. This means every frame of a game running at 60 frames per second can be seen. This is as opposed to normal television sets, which produce a 480i (interlaced) picture. Interlaced pictures are never presented as one consistent picture , but rather are broken up like window blinds.






Non-progressive scan TVs display frames in interlaced odd and even fields.


There are also only 30 full frames displayed each second as opposed to progressive scan\'s 60. The question then arises, if a game is running at 60 frames per second, can you see the difference (as opposed to 30) on your non-HDTV? Absolutely. A normal 480i TV will normally display one "half" (interlaced) of a frame every 1/60th of a second. Think of it this way. You have 30 different paintings and each painting is broken into two pieces (60 pieces total), so you can only show one piece at a time. You have exactly 60 seconds to show your friend all the pieces. To do this you\'re going to have to show one half of the painting every second. It is the same way with 480i TVs, because they can only display half (interlaced) of each "painted" game frame at a time. Conversely, a 480p HDTV can be thought of as a "full-framed" format. Going back to those 30 different paintings, you could instead show your friends the whole painting in one second. Meaning, every 60 seconds you could have shown your friend 60 of those paintings instead.

well its got 30 and 60 hzs modes, and p scan, and you can adjust aliment o the pic....


it good, its all 3d, but you dont knock peep off levels....


its good, but to be honest im still a bit disappointed in it, every ending has been very pants, ive only to see jlia and panda/kumas.....


i think ill be taking it back to get the thing on fri....


there isnt many new characters, i mean chrissie, is basically eddy. its a bit annoying there isnt many new characters...


bonus game is tekken force, but is it me, or is the one in t3 better

Very good, I got it a day before release, been playing it alot, I took a year out and didnt get TTT and got VF4, I am now back in the Tekken 4 grove and kicking some major ass, I still own with Bryan but my backup is now Steve, I cant beleave how good he is.

Do Wega Tv\'s have progressive scan?

BTW I think Bob\'s ending is the best in the series.

bobs?????? wtf??? whos he??


i actually think all the endings are very poor, i thought most in t3 were excellent, but i still think my fav was kazuyas in tekken 2

Bob  is Howarang.Thats how is called by some people in some places.Because of its strange spelling he got the nick "Bob" as a short and easier spelled name.

I would like some opinions about T4\'s visuals compared to DOA3\'s.Some people call me stupid because I see T4\'s graphics almost comparable to DOA3\'s.

I think the gfx are better in T4

I\'ve ordered my copy. It looks absolutely fantastic. I\'m not really sure if it can be compared to DOA3, but knowing NAMCO it should be something special.
