Tekken: Dark Resurrection Interview

Namco is bringing an arcade favorite to the PSP and Gamespot was around to give us some answers to the questions we've all been asking. Tekken: Dark Resurrection will require the same fast-paced button mashing that its beloved arcade version does. In wireless mode, you can battle your friends anywhere and anytime without the need to keep a roll of quarters in your pocket.

The interview focuses a lot on development of the game, but still manages to answer some key questions about the game. They discuss how they came up with the idea to bring it to the PSP and the challenges of redoing the controls for the PSP. The interview also mentions the variety of WiFi modes available such as battles, ghost data, and high scores. If Namco does what they do best then Tekken for the PSP shouldn't be anything short of a hit.

Here's a small clip from the interview:

GameSpot: Why did you choose to bring Tekken Dark Resurrection to the PSP instead of a new Tekken?


Kazushige Watanabe: Bringing the latest version of the arcade to home consoles has always been the way we handle the series.


Haruki Suzaki: The nature of the PSP hardware allowed us to transfer Tekken the way it was meant to be in a way not possible on any other handheld consoles. For this reason, the decision to bring Tekken Dark Resurrection to the PSP instead of creating a new Tekken posed a challenge in testing the possibilities of the PSP hardware.

the game'll remember the moves you use and the ones that you don't use during fights. that includes step-ins and outs, your aggressiveness, parries, favorite moves, vulnerabilites, maybe reaction times to certain moves?



i think it started in tekken 5, when namco programmed the game to keep track of which moves you used with each character. it's shown when you press select, i think, on the move list...while in practice mode. i'm guessing they're gonna use that to created a ghost for every player.

A rather strange answer regarding the question of the PSP controls, D-Pad and 4 buttons seems simple enough to me but 60 frames per second sounds good.



Me likey!



But the ghost data thing sounds stupid, a big let down for me.



Will this support game-share? In my experience its hard enough finding someone else with a PSP nevermind two copies of the same game. Out of interest, does anyone have a link to a list of games that do support game-share?

# cool, a new gameGuest 2006-04-19 01:42
arn't you sick of this crap yet, i'm sure most of you agree, altho this was an alright game in its time, i think most of us want something new, not tekken 6 or 7, or the same game with a new title, but new material completely. it would be nice to see titles come out for psp that are new and havnt been on every other system. nothing like buying a game that you played over and over on ps1, get a 'NEW' system like psp a few years later and play almost exactly the same game, but this time you pay another $50 or so for it, again.



example, i bought midway classics for dreamcast, then for ps1, then for ..,... ghey
