Interesting. In 10 years supporting XBL I received 2 XBLA games, a stupid avatar helmet, and a chance to win one of the 10th anniversary consoles (not even the opportunity to just buy one as thanks for my support). Was so insulted that I didn't even register for the chance to win the console.
Just got a White 500GB PS3 with the year of free PS+ and already have more excellent complimentary content in two weeks than MS gave in 10 years.

Well that's why Im hoping. Since they won't have any of the BS in a real tekken game, I doubt they could really transition.
^ And I didn't even think of this...

Ask Microsoft yourself. I already asked them about free to play of the console last year. RT @dgdouglas15: how about on xbox 360?

I was excited this morning. Now I don't know how to feel, haha. I will play it on the 11th of course.
Lol... Lars deserves his buffs Kappa...
Or Namco can't understand how epic threads work lololol...

Don't start...Tekken 4 was far from the best system....everything else was nice though.

I still think it's a very good medium to act as a stepping stone for those who love Tekken but find games like TTT2 just way too overwhelming. It might not be a quick transition, but it will give newer players a chance to start building basics (movement, how to block, punish, etc). Once they then jump in with the "big boys" a lot of the game is going to make sense to them.
Additionally it will help to grow interest for the series overall, and maybe not for TTT2, but it could lead to greater sales for the next Tekken (be it TxSF or whatever).

I microwave steaks.
They have a few F2P titles, Happy wars and Doritos Crash Course 2 are the only ones to come to mind but they've got a few lol.

So basically a F2P version of TTT2?
This seems misguided.

More like a F2P prototype of TxSF

Well there doesn't appear to be a tag mechanic and there's a bunch of new stuff like character stats and "specials", so not really... from what we can see it looks very different.

I don't even understand what the point of this game is.
What is the appeal exactly?

Being free they wont get any ill will, and it will let them build up new players to the tekken franchise. This will also let them test out new mechanics with no downsides.
Be a little more open minded
I don't know if its about appeal I think its more about this being a test run.

F2P is not a direction I'm eager to see fighting games go in.Being free they wont get any ill will, and it will let them build up new players to the tekken franchise. This will also let them test out new mechanics with no downsides.

Tekken does have to try some new things. After TTT2, they can't just keep adding more stuff to the same model.
So, while I'm really skeptical about the F2P elements given how they sound, having a non-competitive fighter they can muck around in , and Tekken vs SF, will help them transition/ get folks used to the changes in Tekken 7, which I'm sure will be controversial.
I can't think of any fighter that heavily changed mechanics that didn't have a large amount of the old playerbase hating on it.
Kind of wondering why I haven't jumped ship yet to PS3. Sony is throwing stuff at customers.

I don't mind it as long as training mode lets you play what ever and there are discount "normal price" full releases. I rarely use more than 2 or 3 characters in a game.
I just don't want it to be f2p only style because it cockblocks tournaments.

This reminds me...I remember Harada saying that the girls in Tekken X Street Fighter were going to have much "cuter" looking faces than you'd usually see in the Tekken series. I wonder if these new models were/are supposed to be from it? Hmm...Tekken Revolution said:
Anyway, day 1 download for me.
Also, while the thread title change fixed the game title from Evolution to Revolution, it still says "Excusive." Hah.

If they are going to sell customization stuff, they are going to have to really step up their game. I'd gladly spend $20 on a customization pack for TTT2 if it added a ton of new things. And I mean a lot. Like 10x more than what exists now.

It looks like TxSF is dead and they used its mangled remains to patch together a quick and dirty Tekken spinoff.
No Mishima's included in the 8 starting characters confirms this is not one for long time fans.

No Baek, so I'm stuck with Paul for the time being...
No Heihachi either. Or Eddie/Christie. The latter is a good thing.
The limited roster will definitely help new players. Pnly having tonget used to fighting 8 characters is a lot better than 59.

I like how we are writing it off already.
Same boat, more or less (10+ years). Makes you realign things.

So, is this confirmed to be the fighting game that Namco is showing at E³?
I'm gonna go ahead and say yes to this... unless they're going to announce a new Fighting Game IP or a new Soul Calibur. Judging by the likelihood of the latter scenarios I'm sure you can see why I came to my conclusion.

There are ten characters in the trailer, but only eight on the roster?
I'm so excited for them to have a go at this business model. I've been saying that companies should be doing this for years, and that the Namco engines (Soul Calibur and Tekken) are primed and ready to go. This is thanks to their skeletal systems that give them the cosmetic inroads that make for a successful F2P model.
I hope they do this for Soul Calibur VI. Sure, allow for the purchase of the full game, but give players who don't want to shell the ability to boost the online playerbase with a limited roster and slower-to-unlock customization options.
I play fighting games more for the competition, but even I'm drawn into the whole "craft your fighter" when the engine is balanced (Customized characters with "Playstyles", such as "Soul of Yoshimitsu" or "Soul of Astaroth" is practically fool-proof, while still providing that customizable vanity goo).

You do know you can play Tag 2 1v1, right?

Perkel asked for RPG elements, Harada delivers. lol.
But I don't see the problem, this is an experiment and its free. If the base game sucks, then I won't invest in it. But perhaps it turns out to be a fun fighter with good netcode.

It might increase the number of males in speedos. Hats are the big things in TF2.
The stat based stuff does sound awful though.
Yeah. Path of exile works like that and i see that Tekken with proper F2P (not P2W like here) big community would be actually amazing thing.
lol yeah but not like this and my version of "progression" mechanics would be only used to get new players into game where predefined characters still would be set in stone and all people would use them to fight competitively.
This thing looks like shit imo.

Well I liked the super moves in SCV at least...and the game in general.
I will give this a shot.

I'm ok with this, it's meant to bring in new players and all this stuff they are trying won't conflict TTT2... and you know, it's free.
I don't know why people keep saying that TxSF is dead because of this, Harada has said a couple of times that it might be a next gen game.
I think each stamina bar requires in 20 minutes, so a 100 minutes to recover it fully.
