The developer says the update will be out in ‘mid-May’ although it couldn’t confirm an exact date at this time.
Several infinites will be fixed, along with a number of other issues. (more…)
Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada has confirmed that his games will never offer paid-for character downloads, telling us fighting game characters are “like chess pieces” that are “essential [to] the game.”
Speaking in the wake of the controversy surrounding Street Fighter X Tekken, which features a dozen DLC characters whose data is already present on the game disc, Harada stated that Namco would not follow a similar route with its own fighting game franchise.
“Tekken has never had DLC before and charged for it,” he told us during Namco Bandai’s Global Gamer Day event in Las Vegas last week. “This isn’t really directed at Capcom, I have always said this, but I see the characters and their move sets as chess pieces – they are essential items necessary in the game and we would never sell any of those individually.”
Harada was keen not to be seen as a critic of Capcom’s strategy, which has led to a storm of protests from fighting game fans. “It’s Capcom’s business decision, obviously,” he said, “but I expect the reason they did that was, if one player bought a character that another player didn’t have, they would not be able to play against each other online”.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 this September.
With the largest player roster in Tekken history, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will feature more than 50 characters with expanded fight arsenals and move sets to do battle in new stages set in different countries from around the world.
In addition to the tag-based battle that Tekken pioneered, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will feature both one-on-one fighting and solo fighter vs. a tag-team battle, upending the current fighting game standards and making the game accessible for fans and newcomers alike. (more…)
While most major sites are sitting around their cushy leather chairs demeaning gamers with ridiculous five-minute editorials starting or ending with this year’s overused keyword, “entitlement”, gamers and fed-up consumers have been going to the Better Business Bureau about the rising tide of consumer mistreatment from companies like Electronic Arts and Capcom.
In the case of Capcom, they’ve actually responded to some of these complaints and their response has always been the same: There’s no distinction between downloadable content and disc-locked content. In other words, expect to get screwed some more in future releases. (more…)
