Oh I see. 4 stages huh? Seems pretty light. You'll have to remind me but isn't there like an arcade mode where you can fight against AI characters to make it seem like you're in an actual arcade? I remember there was a mode like it in Tekken 5 which is where I wasted most of my time on, looked like it was the crux behind me earning the gold and buying all those different customisation options for Lee Chaolan. Is it still in and if so, please say you can earn like different emblems against your character, I admit I spent ages in VF5's quest mode obtaining all of them. It's a guilty pleasure

4 stages are lame... it must've been 9 stages, like in T5:DR!

Yeah.. there is an arcade mode, that it looks like the real arcade... But i never tried the Arcade Mode myself.. I played always on Ghost Battle, because you get more gold in Ghost Battle rather than in Arcade Mode.. you become in Arcade Mode after beating an AI player only 2.500 gold, but in Ghost Battle, it depents on how high the rank from the AI is, how much time you left, how much health you left and all this.

Based on the long running and highly successful Namco video game franchise of the same name, TEKKEN is a high-octane, action packed thriller written for the screen by Alan McElroy (Spawn, The Marine) and to be directed by Dwight Little (Anacondas, Murder at 1600) with fight choreography tentatively by Dion Lam (Spider-Man 2, Doom, Red Cliff). Set in 2039, the film promises non-stop high flying action as the greatest fighters from around the world come to compete in the last and greatest sporting event of all time, the Fist Tournament. After World Wars destroy much of civilization as we know it, the remaining territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations the mightiest of which is Tekken. In order to keep the masses down, Tekken sponsors the Iron Fist Tournament in which fighters compete to the death for ultimate glory and receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth. We are introduced to this violent world through the eyes of Jin Kazama, a street fighter that enters the tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother that he blames upon Tekken’s powerful and controlling Chairman, Heihachi Mishima. He knows that the only way to get close enough to Mishima to kill him is to win the tournament. With the help of Lucas, an ageing Iron Fist Champion and fight trainer, Jin makes his way through the tournament, but in doing so, he begins to uncover his own past and inner demons as well as exposing a dark underbelly to Tekken that threatens the very existence of humanity.

Christ, they've already fucked it up and it's not even the 4th line of the synopsis. They look to have Raven matched down, but everyone else is...no (Nina and Anna

) It is a video game movie, and it's based off a fighting game (why are all video game adaptations based off fighting games? They are not where you want to go for great narrative to start with) so I never had high expectation for it in the first place, but I don't even think they'll make a good adaptation of the series. *sigh*

Anchor Bay Finally Picks Up 'Tekken' for Distribution in 2011

After seeing an all-new poster back in June declaring that the adaptation of the fighting video game series Tekken would hit theaters August 5th, there seemed to be hope the film would see the light of day. But that date came and went and the film was nowhere to be seen on the big screen. But today Anchor Bay Films announced via press release that they would distribute the action-packed fighting frenzy of a film for a wide release sometime in 2011. Though no specific month or even season is mentioned as a potential release date, this is at least official confirmation that the film won't be stuck in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart (at least not for awhile).

Tekken set in a world run by all-powerful corporations, of which the mightiest is the Tekken Corporation, headed by Heiachi Mishima. These corporations regularly send their best fighters to challenge each other in the ring. After running contraband outside the fortified walls of Tekken City, Jin Kazama returns home in time to witness Tekken security forces destroying his home and murdering his mother. In order to avenge her, Jin enters the Iron Fist Tournament and is pitted against some of the most brutal martial artists in the world. However, as the tournament unfolds, he realizes that he is merely a pawn in a much bigger and deadlier game.

While some of the fighting in the trailer that was released back in January looked pretty cool, I can't see this being any more successful, or just generally better, then previous fighting game adaptations like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. I guess I shouldn't expect much from Dwight H. Little, the director of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Meyers, but since he's had some strong TV credits to his name recently including "Dollhouse" and "24," maybe he'll surprise us.

Heihachi dying his hair? Next step is to buy a sports car in order to cope with his latelife crisis

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #31 on:** December 25, 2010, 01:32:27 AM »

But this will not stop showing his age!

Hope the new voice actor can pull off the Heihachi, since his old voice actor died because of suicide...

The Tekken movie looks to get shittier & shittier every time I see any info on it. It screams Wal-Mart discount bin already.

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #33 on:** December 25, 2010, 03:24:15 AM »

I didn't watched the Tekken movie... and don't want to watch it! ><

At least Heihachi didn't think of wearing his diaper outfit.

^
^ There were a good number of theaters around me that aired the movie for the "one night only" promotion. I didn't go though ( I need to save money).

and that's how all video games turned movies should be like. No live actors .
