No Unlockable Fighters in Tekken 6
Posted on 06. Jul, 2009 by tawnos in Gaming News
Can you say low replay value? What else can you look forward to in a fighting game if not to beat up your friends. I can remembers spending countless hours during summer break trying to beat the game with every time after time just to see what character or special dress costume I would unlock next. The new Tekken will have all 40 characters already unlocked which is a good thing because you get to jump right into the game and start to play but at the same time gives the user no incentive to come back and play some more, once you spent a few hours beating up the computer with your favorite fighter there really is no reason for you to do it again unless you got a buddy who says their better than you.
Here is what Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada had to say:
“Speaking to VideoGamer.com via translator at a Namco Bandai Europe event this week, Harada-san explained that the unlock process was originally intended to increase the longevity of coin-op arcade machines…
…That’s kind of outdated now though, especially with online play. If we were to have locked characters it would irritate a lot of people, to be playing against others online and to not have all the characters available. So I think it’s no longer useful.”
On another note, we can look forward to a robust online system since that seems to be where they are concentrating all their time and energy.
