So this game comes out in a week guys. WHY IS THERE NO HYPE?
Personally cause the first thing people heard was the engine is based on Tekken 6. I don't think Tekken 6 was as well received as Tekken 5DR and the population is doing a wait and see on it. I could be wrong, but early on I heard a lot of grumbles about this.
Even though the engine is based off of Tekken 6's it's been heavily revamped as the graphics have improved overall, the engine also had issues handling 4 characters on screen initially so they had to go back and make tweaks.
Also I heard very few complaints about the game engine and such, although while I personally didn't hear many people who were displeased with them not building a new system from the ground up, that could just be because of the sites I go to, the location I live in etc.
Tekken is Tekken to me.
Only things that really bothered me about T6 was the way bound combo's worked and of course, the rage, but I don't think rage is that huge a deciding factor at making comebacks compared to some other gimmicks out there.
I liked T6 for what it was, but I definitely preferred the T5/DR formula more.
What exactly about T5 appealed to you more? Was it just the abscence of the mechanics you mentioned or was it something else?
