Tekken 6 online patch on Thursday News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

24 November, 2009

Namco Bandai will release a PS3 and Xbox 360 patch for Tekken 6 on Thursday that should fix the online multiplayer side of the fighting game.

Input response will be quicker and sharper and data transfer will be less clumsy when spectators are watching an online battle, meaning the host's machine won't be pummelled for bandwidth.

Search priorities will be selectable for ranked matches to help find a more desirable opponent and there will be the option of cancelling a bout once an opponent's signal strength bar is visible - and those, incidentally, should more accurately reflect a fighter's internet connection.

Lag has handicapped Tekken 6 since launch, which is a shame, because with more care and effort Namco Bandai's renowned fighting series could have climbed higher than 7/10.

Hmm.... I was literally about to punt this on ebay since *everyone* on my FL has stopped playing it due to lag.

FINISH your games before you sell them ffs. It's not like Namco didnt have enough time to get Tekken 6 right before retail release.

fighting games + internet isn't an easy task...

not many have got it right, and even those considered to have done so are questionable

So true, normally I'd be more forgiving but they've had years to work on this port and it really fell short. I reckon Tekken'll have lost a lot of casual players because of it.

But anyway, can't wait to see if it does what they say it will.
I wonder if they'll release the other patch fans are crying out for; a record button on practice mode, and the ability for 2 offline players to go customised characters.

if only there was some word VF5R was coming out! Still, vanilla VF5 is miles better than anything else anyway.

I wonder how much of an improvement we'll see with this patch...
