411mania: The Release List for the Week of August 3, 2009 (Tales of Eternia)

4/08/2009

411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include MagnaCarta II, Tales of VS., SingStar Queen, and Hearts of Iron III.

On Magna Carta II, 411mania writes: "Even though the title indicates that this is the second MagnaCarta game, it is actually the third in the series, the first being for the PC and the second for the PS2. Unfortunately, Atlus' release of the PS2 sequel a few years ago wasn't very well received - some were impressed with the visuals and a lot of people liked the story, but many found the combat system off and most agreed that the voicework was bad. Luckily, MagnaCarta II features a whole new cast of characters, a new storyline, and a different fighting system, so knowledge of the previous games are not necessary."

PSP meanwhile gets the aptly named Tales of Rebirth, while PS2 will see Tales of Destiny arrive. That's a lot of tales. We're still scouring Famitsu with a fine magnifying glass, but the DS entry seems to be an entirely new ...

First Tekken movie shots emerge (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

21/05/2008

The first glimpse of the Tekken movie has emerged online through a couple of photos revealing Marshall Law and Jin Kazama.

The movie is directed by Dwight H. Little, the guy responsible for the 1989 Phantom of the Opera movie with Robert 'Freddy' Englund and a handful of 24, Bones and Prison Break episodes. He also did a Steven Seagal flick called Marked for Death, so... expect a film of ...

The Top 7... impractical characters (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

21/01/2008

What do Solid Snake, Lara Croft and Samus Aran all have in common? They dress for success. Their own costume, be it custom-built spacesuit or bottomless backpack, is directly related to their adventuresome profession. No matter the situation, these heroes are loaded with gadgets, training and expertise that'll see them through to the end. But not all game characters are created equal. A great many appear to have no practical application other than "the boss says this guy stays in the game." ...

Joystiq hands-on: Tekken: Dark Resurrection (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

19/06/2006

Tekken has long been the quintessential exclusive title for Sony. Once announced for the Sony PlayStation Portable, fanboy hearts went all aflutter at the possibility of their longtime favorite fighting franchise making its way to the games-starved handheld. Last week, Joystiq.com was able to sit down and get some quality time with Tekken: Dark Resurrection and see if this would indeed be the sure-fire hit gamers and Namco would obviously think it'd be once it hits store shelves this summer.

Tekken fronts up on PSP (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

31/05/2006

• Tekken Dark Resurrection trailer (MOV, 22.1MB) Wednesday 31 May 2006 Namco has released a new trailer of Tekken: Dark Resurrection, which sees PSP as the latest venue for the Iron Fist tournament. Out this September, the handheld beat-'em-up will offer the same sophisticated scrapping as the console versions, but for one-on-one action the ad-hoc wireless connectivity will have to be used. The new trailer features the two new fighters to the series, Lili and Dragunov. Which is all well ...

Sporty new Tekken screens (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

23/05/2006

As fast and frenzied as Tekken is, the one-on-one fighting is always accompanied by some unrelated minigame. If you spent any time with Tekken 3 all those years ago, you'll instantly recognize the Bowling minigame - and it's making a return in the PSP-exclusive Dark Resurrection. When you're done pounding the 35 combatants into the ground, you'll be able to indulge in the simple bowling minigame solo or with friends, using two meters to gauge how hard you're throwing and how much spin is on ...

Tekken boss talks PSP (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

12/05/2006

Friday 12 May 2006 The original Tekken 5 arcade game had such high specs that it was quite a challenge getting it on to PSP but it's not just a mere port: for PSP we completely remade all the materials in the game. There will be 34 playable characters, each of which will have their own story with CG ending movies, including the two new characters Lili and Dragunov. We'll have all the modes of previous PS2 instalments of Tekken as well as some new ones. One of these is a ghost feature that ...

Pre-E3 06: Tekken: Dark Resurrection (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

9/05/2006

If you like to fight with your mind and body as one, you probably either kick some ass in real life, or play a whole lot of tech-heavy Virtua Fighter. When you just want to smash somebody's face into the ground (and look cool while doing it), there's hardly a better gallery of eclectic fighters than those in ...

Tekken slamming to PSP (Tekken: Dark Resurrection)

22/02/2006

Namco is planning the release of Tekken for PSP, according to respected Japanese gaming mag, Famitsu. If the news is accurate, it confirms earlier rumours that a handheld version of the long-running beat-'em-up was in development for Sony's portable device. We contacted Sony, who publish the Tekken series in the UK, but were given a straightforward "no comment". It's unthinkable that Tekken won't appear on PSP at some point and we're fully anticipating an official announcement from Namco ...
