In the game, you can now move freely while remaining in the same plane as your opponent-this gives the game a closer feel to Namco's own Soul Calibur. Visually, Tekken 4 looks very much like its predecessor, Tekken Tag Tournament. Also, certain objects in the background can be destroyed." However, don't expect the environmental interactivity to reach the level of such games as Tecmo's Dead or Alive 2. For example, the parking area will have crowds in the background in the final version. We spoke with one of Namco's representatives regarding the game, who told us that "the playable version on the show floor is approximately 40 percent complete." She continued, "Some stages have yet to include some of the dynamic background elements. In fact, two more stages, the beach and city of Shinjuku, were shown as part of the video footage. Naturally, there will be more stages featured in the final game, especially considering the number of characters. Lastly, Steve Fox, a British boxer who has run afoul of the mafia for refusing to throw a fight and has been on the run ever since, enters the tournament in the hopes of staying alive and uncovering the mysteries of his past.Īt the show, only six stages, including a parking area, airport, building, mall, jungle, and laboratory, were selectable in the demo. Recently released from prison, Marduk discovers his freedom has been orchestrated by a mysterious individual who sends him a plane ticket and information on the tournament. Professional wrestler Craig Marduk uses the Vale Tudo fighting style. Granddaughter of Eddy Gordo's former master, she was taught capoeira until Gordo's recent disappearance led her to enter the fourth Iron Fist Tournament in search of him. With the inclusion of newly introduced characters Christie Montiero, Craig Marduk, and many more returning ones, Tekken 4 will feature up to 20 playable characters, some of whom will be time-released in the arcades.Ĭhristie Montiero has family ties to previous fighters in the Iron Fist Tournament. They are Jin Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Ling Xiaoyu, new character Steve Fox, Hwoarang, King, Marshall Law, and Yoshimitsu. There are eight playable characters in the demo version of Tekken 4. The old man Heihachi grumbles, "You just don't die, do you?" Then the screen scrolls up with a flaming number "4," and the title logo appears. He notices a CCD camera on their heads, and instead of shooting the SWAT team member, he says, "I'm going to take back what is mine," and punches the camera, expressing his rage for Heihachi. But I've got my own plans." The next scene takes us back to the dark office building, and Kazuya pulls a gun from one of the troops. With the sun glaring, he takes off his sunglasses and says, "I am supposed to be dead. The scene then switches to a flashback, where Kazuya walks off the airplane with a group of men wearing dark suits. The entire SWAT team attacks one by one but is instead obliterated by Kazuya's martial arts. One of the members of the SWAT team happens to find Kazuya, and Heihachi looks at the monitor, surprised that Kazuya didn't perish in the volcano. SWAT troops crash in and run inside the ominous and gloomy office building in search of Kazuya. The screen fades to black and displays the words, "20 Years Later." In the next scene, Heihachi is inside a room in an office building, carefully watching a monitor. It starts off by showing the ending to a previous Tekken game, where Heihachi drops his son, Kazuya, into a volcano pit.
#TEKKEN 4 LOGO MOVIE#
Most notably, Tekken 4 made its first appearance in playable form at the event.Īs attendees entered the hall, large projection screens gave us a peek at the intro CG movie for the game. GameSpot was there to check out the upcoming arcade games for the summer. Though Jinpachi is mentioned in Tekken 7, Jinpachi's last canonical appearance was in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection where he was killed by Jin Kazama, Jinpachi's great-grandson.Īssuming this rumor to be true, we'll very likely learn of the next challenger's identity, as well as their connection to the hoodie with the Mishima Zaibatsu logo and the mysterious "special item" before too long.Three arcade companies, Namco, Capcom, and Kato Manufacturing, jointly held a private show in Japan this week. The Ars Technica editor reasonably speculates that this might be a hint at Jinpachi Mishima, Heihachi Mishima's father. "The same email includes an offer of 'a hoodie and a special item that teases the next character joining the TEKKEN 7 line-up of playable characters.' The hoodie has the Mishima Zaibatsu logo on its front. "Tekken's PR group has confirmed to various members of the press that 'in March, a new character will join the fight in TEKKEN 7 as the latest DLC character entering The King of Iron Fist Tournament.'" "There's no embargo on this, and this kind of pre-release hype trickle isn't Ars Technica's domain, so I'm offering to you, ERA," said samred on ResetEra.
