Tekken 6 lag patch in development News • News • Eurogamer.net

"To improve the online experience."

Namco Bandai has said it plans to patch the online multiplayer side of Tekken 6 after everyone moaned about it in their reviews.

According to Eurogamer's resident beat-'em-up hero Matt Edwards, the lag is noticeable even when you have a solid green connection. Not as bad as King of Fighters XII, he wrote in his 7/10 review, but not as good as Street Fighter IV or BlazBlue.

"To improve the online game experience for players," the publisher said in a statement (thanks Joystiq), "Namco Bandai games is developing a downloadable update which will be available as soon as it has passed rigorous testing procedures."

Incidentally, that patch will be separate to the downloadable update due this winter, which is set to add co-operative support to Scenario Campaign mode.

......and thank god for that.
I've had a fair amount of playable games this week and thought the worst was over, but I couldn't get a decent game for love nor money last night. It was like fighting in treacle against all green bar opponents.

Good to hear because from the quick go at the Expo I liked it, nothing new but as fun as 5. Hopefully it'll be cheaper by the time it's fixed!

Great, cause out of the 10 games I play, I'll be happy if even a single match is better than a Yellow connection.
Completely unplayable.

I remember when you used to buy console games that were finished, ready to go ! they didnt need patches to make them usable and they didnt have a load of content missing so they could flog it you later !

Ahhhh the good old days !

Hmm, I'm not really into playing online, I'd rather have a patch that allows player 2 to pick characters with custom costumes in VS mode, meh.

Shame it won't fix the fact that the rest of the game is as dull as dishwater, really ;p

Raziel; yea 'finished' they may have been. But with online play and all the other gubbins people expect for the same price these days? No. I say cut the devs a little slack tbh.

This all sounds good but SC got patched and that meant you could just about play someone within a 10 mile radius.

Outside the UK it was impossible to play anyone.
