Tekken going on PS3 Store
Tweaked Dark Resurrection.
Namco Bandai is planning to release a downloadable version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection through the PlayStation 3's online store.
That's according to a report in Famitsu, partly translated by IGN, which states that it will be a tweaked version of the arcade Dark Resurrection, allowing you to play in resolutions up to 1080p and even control boss character Jinpachi.
The publisher has previously shown off concept images of Tekken 6, the first true PS3 title in the long running beat-'em-up series, but with details still fairly scant Namco's probably hoping this will tide people over.
Tekken: Dark Resurrection was also the basis of the celebrated PSP version of the game, which came out in Europe recently.

I hope it's a two way street games like Cash Guns Chaos would be alright for a handheld.

That one was originally designed with the PSP in mind, making it a PSN downloadable was an afterthought. Also, it is going to be released for the PSP as well, and rumor has it, it will support PS3 vs PSP multiplayer.

It's more Arcade games on PS3, but for dowload.
Should be pretty cheap aswell.

It'll be fun to try this out, but there's no way it's going to touch VF

Tekken is the shit. Been playing this series since the beginning.
....aahhh yes, running the JPN import of the original on my NA Playstation. Anyone remember using some putty to start the system with the CD door open and then swapping in a import game after you got a boot code in the CD player menu from the US one? Yes i'm old. lol
Wow, considering the rate i was losing braincells back then (and still am), i'm surprised i remember that.

Also makes you wonder how much Blu-Ray space will Tekken 6 actually use.

On the plus side, this implies that when Tekken 6 finally does come out, it might try and innovate a bit. Maybe.

I for one have a lot of love for Tekken, but find this latest news quite uninspiring. It could turn out that this Tekken 5 PS3 version is to the PS2 one what TTT PS2 was to Tekken 3, and it could still excite.

Yeah, some updated models and BG's would be a nice touch (ala TTT). Either way, i doubt we'll be seeing PSP quality assets since there is already a PS2 version.
But it is a nice way to introduce the series to people who otherwise might not be looking for it in a game store. Prep them for 6.
...and for guys like me. Who just wanna play it in HD. Hehe.
