Look at the muscle on her. Major improvement. She doesn't look like a kawaii high schooler anymore.

Harada talks often about his love for PC gaming... I believe his rig has SLI 980s. During the PS4 announcement the official Namco release was worded that the game is coming to "home systems".
But then Rise of Incarnates was also a huge flop and shut down after only a couple months on Steam...
Yeah nah, Tekken is already fucking big
Whether its the same day or months later, its 100% likely that PC will get this game.

You sir, I like you.
Yeah, there's been about 7 major updates to Unreal Engine 4 since then and whatever they've been doing specifically for the game.

Wow, including him and tying him in to the series canon is an ultra cool move.
Wow, this is a great design.
Wow, this is a great design.
The difference there is that people want to play Tekken, whereas no one asked for Rise of Incarnates. The only attention they had gotten was from people who played the Gundam EXVS games, and every change they made was for the worse.
I really hope they don't try to extrapolate performance for a game nobody wanted onto a game that people actually want to play.
As an aside: During the MASTERCUP stream a couple of weeks ago, someone asked Harada if Tekken 7 was coming to PC and his response was (roughly) "I hope so!". So a PC version would not surprise me, but it may not be day-and-date with the console releases.
Akuma will likely come in 2017. Can't stuff Street Fighter V with too many Shotos too soon.
There is no way this is not getting on pc, already runs on arcade windows pc's and this gen pc is more important than ever especially in the fgc.
Not everyone wants to be forced to get an overpriced weak thing just to play fighting games in low res with expensive hardware and software.

Considering that Street Fighter V, Killer Instinct, & supposedly King of Fighters XIV are PC-bound, I'd be shocked if Tekken 7 wasn't doing the same.

Gotta take out the jobbers in Tekken first.
We should merge the discussions. Which characters you hope as DLC in 2017/season 2 for Tekken 7/SF V =P

Just woke up to this and WOW.......so f'in awesome! Was wondering if they'll ever show any thing about TxSF sooner or later(thought maybe E3 at earliest) so this came outta nowhere! Hearing them say that TxSF is canceled really sucks though but I guess they'll see how Akuma does in this and HOPEFULLY they can get TxSF in the works again. I think the craziest part is that Akuma is now canon to the Tekken universe and he was teased in the 1st f'in T7 trailer LAST YEAR......wtf!? I wonder if that means only Akuma is canon or if the Tekken/SF world is now the same though? Also wow at the graphics update, it was already pretty good looking but now it's just freakin' gorgeous! Also wonder if the new costumes are defaults or not cuz Xiaoyu's new look is pretty great! I can't wait, 2016 is gonna be awesome and filled with great fighting games and now Sega needs to make a new VF

Looks fantastic. I can't wait
Nah he wants an actual challenge
Akuma: * throws fireball*
Kazuya: *dodges*
Akuma: .. What is this technique, I have never seen this before.
Kazuya: Moving slightly to the left?
Where did they say that TxSF is cancelled? If anything, this supports the idea that the game is still happening.Just woke up to this and WOW.......so f'in awesome!

I will be pretty surprised if T7 on PS4 gets to 1080p60fps, cause now it looks really great.
T7 compared to T6 which was 1000x500 something will be a revelation

Holy fuck does Akuma look amazing in that engine. Hype for T7 went from 0 to 100.

Are those new default costumes?? Fuck yes
I think default, cause Asuka, Lili AND Xiao all have new costumes, and Jin also has a new one

The costumes are just new defaults
Like in Tekken 6 characters had 2 or 3 alts. Plus the wacky custom outfits you can make with accessories like battle axes, different hair, glasses, helmets, etc
The tournament had some crazy customs on display

Some of the post from Reddit said Ono said it was canceled and instead of that, Capcom will allow Namco to use SF characters in T7 and more SF characters will come in updates. That's what people said they heard on the stream in this thread from Reddit so iunno. Personally, I just want TvSF but still this is pretty awesome as well.

Harada has said multiple times that TxSF is still happening. Akuma in Tekken 7 is likely to test the waters for TxSF like Akuma in X-Men: Children of the Atom tested the waters for the MvC series.

It sure does. I'm also wondering if I should try new mains this time around. I've been playing Tekken since the first so I can practically use anyone, that and Tekken characters don't seem to have as many playstyle differences as Street Fighter characters.

Arika owns most of the EX characters.
These look so good.

That's what I expected and wanted and for now, I'd take anything since I love both SF and Tekken. It's good to finally see something solid after years and years of "just wait please" by Harada.

Somebody said it earlier
That it was only announced for ps4
This is false the game was announced for both Ps4 and Xbox 1. But ps4 has exclusive vr stuff.

All I need now is Black Tiger, oh I mean Armor King. At this point a Tekken Game cant have one but not the other.
UE4 is a really capable engine, it's going to be 1080p60fps there's no reason it will not. 2 characters and a stage and that's all.
Where?

Yeah Xrd is doing gangbusters in sales since it launched on Steam a couple days ago. Both Melty Blood AC and UNIEL are also slated for PC release next year too. Great for people who want to still use their fightsticks from last gen.
I don't get comments like this, so they need help from a game that needs Sony to happen?
