Namco have tried this in every game since Tekken 3, and although the attempts have been getting more polished each time, they still haven't really been worth playing, so I'm not really to enthusiastic about this news, especially if this scenario mode is the reason that the game is taking so long to come to consoles.

I like the sound of this mode. My one complaint with most beat 'em ups is how shallow they are as single player games.
Yes, you can argue that they are meant to played against real people but then you could say the same thing about sports games but that doesn't stop them from having career modes that add longevity. One of the main reasons SoulCalibur remains my favourite fighting franchise is because it is one of the few games to offer a decent and lengthy single player mode. Tekken 6 has become a whole lot more interesting for me now with this news. Good old Namco. :) |

I hope the storyline in this is as strong as the ones in Street Fighter IV.

Tekken Force in 3 was great especially when you picked up the chicken health items :)
Devil Within in T5 just came across as shit to me though. There was a similar thing in Mortal Kombat Armageddon too which I also found rather rubbish. Don't know if it's just me not liking these modes or that they genuinely aren't up to much. |

The only thing 'new' about Lars is his character skin, it's quite clear that he plays like Old Jin/Devil Jin, unbelievable Namco! /slap

@lambtron - No, I'm not actually, I'm a casual player who prefers to hammer buttons rather than learn complex combos but even so I love SoulCalburs I to IV, enjoyed Tekken 5 and appreciated the depth and technical beauty of Virtua Fighter 5.
I'd never played a Street Fighter game until IV, I bought to see what all the fuss was about, but I just wasn't impressed at all. Sorry. Seemed very old school and, thus, dated to me and I utterly despise the visual style, it's horrible. Not for me at all, I'm afraid. (So if anyone's interested in buying SF IV for the PS3 for, say, £20 + P&P then send me a message otherwise I'll trade it in at GAME next month!) |

SFIV is not a beat em up. Its a fighter. Streets of Rage is a beat em up. Tekken 6 will be both a fighter and a beat em up.
edit. SFIV is my favourite game this year. The graphics is amazing and the gameplay incredible.
