History VideoGame / Tekken5

''Tekken 5'' is a 3D fighting game and the fifth main installment of the ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'' series. Developed and published by [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]], it was released in 2004 for the arcades and 2005 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. The arcade version uses the Namco System 256 arcade board, an upgraded version of Namco System 246, based on the [=PS2=].

''Dark Resurrection'' was ported to the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 via [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationNetwork online download]] (in the former as ''Tekken: Dark Resurrection''), marking the first time that a ''Tekken'' game was released for a seventh-generation console as well as the first with online play. The [=PSP=] version adds Tekken Dojo, where you advance through six dojo by winning battles, and Gold Rush, whose objective is to earn gold by dealing enough damage to the enemy while surviving their attacks. It also sees the return of Tekken Bowl and Command Attack from ''Tekken Tag Tournament'' and ''Tekken 4'', respectively. The [=PS3=] version was created as an arcade-perfect port and does not feature Story Mode. Online matches were also not available until half a year after release.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Get Ready for the Next Battle" is now said verbally by the announcer in the VS screen, instead of simply being written. This is retained in future games.

* From ''Tekken 3'': [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul Bryan Fury]], [[DanceBattler Eddy Gordo]], [[FieryRedhead Hwoarang]], [[TragicHero Jin Kazama]], Julia Chang, [[MaskedLuchador King II]], [[BearsAreBadNews Kuma II]], [[DittoFighter Mokujin]], [[PandaingToTheAudience Panda]], [[AnimeChineseGirl Ling Xiaoyu]]

* {{Irony}}: In Stage 8 of Story Battle[[note]]Except for Asuka, Devil Jin, Heihachi, Hwoarang, Jin, Kazuya, and Wang, all of whom face different opponents[[/note]], you fight against ''Devil'' Jin in the Cathedral stage.

** Kuma/Panda and Christie/Eddy. They even share the same slot, though the latter is separated into different slots in ''Dark Resurrection''.

** All characters in ''Dark Resurrection'' start with different default colors than the original. Notably, Kuma's fur is white, making him resemble a polar bear rather than a brown bear.
** The new stages in ''Dark Resurrection'' are mostly thematic variations of the stages in the original. For example, Aurora Australis is set in the same Antarctic area of Polar Paradise, but at night. The only exceptions are Wolves' Den, Playroom, Ominous Mist, and Industrial Complex, which are all-new stages.

* LegacyCharacter: Jack-5 (a new JACK model manufactured by G Corporation) and Roger Jr. (Roger's wife and son).

* DenserAndWackier: Downplayed in that while the overall plot is as serious as ''Tekken'' can be, it re-introduces a lot of the weirder characters such as Mokujin and Roger, and nothing suggests Mokujin is anthing other than a magically animated wooden dummy.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Devil Jin is shown to be able to use telekinesis to strangle his opponent in his winpose, as well as in Hwoarang's ending, where he telekinetically breaks his motorcycle. In fights, he has no such move.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Cruelly subverted in Kazuya's ending where it seems even he has too fond memories of his beloved grandpa Jinpachi to do anything horrible to him...before smirking evilly and punching the old man to death.
* EvilLaugh: One of Devil Jin's winposes. Jinpachi's only intro also has him do this. Finally, Kazuya does this in his ending.

The arcade version uses the Namco System 256 arcade board, an upgraded version of Namco System 246, based on the [=PS2=].

* CutAndPasteTranslation: In the English translation, Devil Jin's intro is subtitled as "Fear the wrath of God". He actually says "Kyoufu wo oshiete yarou" (恐怖を教えてやろう), which roughly translates to "I will teach you the meaning of fear". They're both equally {{Badass Boast}}s, though.

* ImmediateSequel: While the game proper is a month or so after the events of ''4'', the game's intro takes place barely a minute after Jin's ''Tekken 4'' ending. Mere seconds after a beaten Kazuya and Heihachi have shook the Jin-inflicted cobwebs out, G Corp Jack machines storm Hon-Maru and gang up on the two.

* From ''Tekken 2'': [[SternTeacher Baek]], [[BaldBlackLeaderGuy Bruce]], [[DrunkenBoxing Lei]]

* BaitTheDog: Kazuya seemingly shares a moment of heartwearming tenderness with his grandfather after defeating him...followed by him punching Jinpachi to dust as he laughs maniacally.

* EmbeddedPrecursor: The [=PS2=] port contains the arcade versions of the first three ''Tekken'' games plus ''VideoGame/{{Starblade}}''.

* LegacyCharacter: Jack-5 (new JACK model manufactured by G Corporation) and Roger Jr. (Roger's wife and son).

* NonIndicativeName: The player actually controls Roger's unnamed wife, rather than their son, the actual Roger Jr., who stays in his mother's pocket at all times.

* PoolScene: Poolside and Pool Party. Lee and Tiger appear as background characters, although Lee will disappear if someone is playing as him.

** Devil Jin is ''Tekken 3''-era Jin--who in turn is a mix of Kazuya and Jun--with added supernatural moves like flying and firing lasers.

* YouCantFightFate: Xiaoyu's story. She enters the tournament to earn the prize money so she can fund a time machine, wanting to use it to prevent Heihachi from throwing Kazuya down the cliff which started the whole mess. In her ending, she comes very close to use the machine, but it ends up malfunctioning at the last second, causing it to go back in time without her. The machine hits Heihachi as he is holding little Kazuya, sending them ''both'' down the cliff. The scientist who developed the machine even lampshades this.

The arcade version received two updates. Rebalancing aside, the first, ''Tekken 5.1'' adds no new content, other than recoloring the health bar from yellow to green. The second, ''Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection'', is a bigger deal. It adds 3 new characters, a slew of new items, and thematic variations of all stages and BGM in the original game. The interface is completely changed and every character's clothing has different color palette (for example, Xiaoyu's qipao is recolored orange from pink). The second update was ported to the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 via [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationNetwork online download]] (in the former as ''Tekken: Dark Resurrection''), marking the first time that a ''Tekken'' game was released for a seventh-generation console as well as the first with online play. The [=PSP=] version adds Tekken Dojo, where you advance through six dojo by winning battles, and Gold Rush, whose objective is to earn gold by winning matches. It also sees the return of Tekken Bowl and Command Attack from ''Tekken Tag Tournament'' and ''Tekken 4'', respectively. The [=PS3=] version was created as an arcade-perfect port and does not feature Story Mode. Online matches were also not available until half a year after release.

** All characters ''Dark Resurrection'' start with different default colors than the original. Notably, Kuma's fur is white, making him resemble a polar bear rather than a brown bear.

* SecretCharacter: The console port is the last to have this; in later games, all characters are either unlocked from the beginning or purchased through [[DownloadableContent DLC]]. Roger Jr., Anna, Baek, Bruce, Wang, Kuma/Panda, Ganryu, Mokujin, and Hehachi are unlocked by clearing through Story Mode multiple times (they are unlocked in that order). Devil Jin is unlocked either by finishing Devil Within or fighting 200 matches. In ''Dark Resurrection'' [=PS3=], Jinpachi is unlocked by beating Arcade Mode once.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Ganryu to Julia, who is uninterested in anything except for the recovery of her forest rejuvenation data. Also Kuma to Panda, as shown in the latter's Stage 4 sub-boss.

* TheBusCameBack: Baek, Bruce, Ganryu, and Wang all make their big comeback despite having been attacked and presumably killed by Ogre in ''Tekken 3'' (Baek's backstory did mention him being attacked by Ogre, but he survived, albeit gravely injured). Anna, Kuma II, Mokujin, and Panda also return, having been absent in ''4''.

* LookBothWays: In Lei's ending, he fights a criminal above a bus and manages to win. While he is radioing to HQ, he gets hit by a signboard behind him and falls down the bus

* PaletteSwap: Kuma/Panda. Christie/Eddy is somewhat downplayed, since they have different throws, but the rest of their movelist is the same. In the [=PS2=] port, you have to buy Christie's "extra costume" for 500,000 g to access Eddy. In the ''Dark Resurrection'' update, he is available from the start with his own slot.

Revisiting the roots also extends to non-gameplay areas as well. While the art style is carried over from the previous game, the characters' costuming, stage designs, and story are more in line with the pre-''4'' games. ''4'' is noted for attempting to ground the series to reality, something that ''5'' brushes off in favor of the fantastical elements of older games. An example includes the return of Kuma, Panda, and Mokujin, something that would have clashed with the previous game's realistic tone. Some of the most radical changes in characters' costumes (such as Hwoarang's military uniform and Heihachi's mawashi[[note]]Often mistaken to be [[MemeticMutation diaper]][[/note]]) have also been removed.

The console version features the debut of the character customization feature, including the ability to edit the costume's color. Every character's Story Mode includes cutscenes in the sub-boss stages, either 4, 7, 8, or 9.[[note]]Previously, only the plot-relevant characters received one and only then near the end.[[/note]] Instead of advancing through a set of 9 stages, Arcade Mode pits the player against an endless string of ranked matches against ghost [=CPU=]s, with the player earning ranking promotions or demotions by beating or losing against certain opponents. In place of Tekken Force, the game has "Devil Within", an action minigame with Jin as the sole playable character as he fights his way through a secret Mishima Zaibatsu facility.

* BigBad: After Honmaru was blown to high sky, Jinpachi was resurrected and took control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, starting the fifth King of Iron Fist tournament. Early on, it's all but stated that he was resurrected by the Devil Gene, but later games have since [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] this into an unnamed evil spirit possessing him.

* TheBusCameBack: Baek, Bruce, Ganryu, and Wang all make their big comeback despite having been attacked and presumably killed by Ogre in ''Tekken 3''. Anna, Kuma II, Mokujin, and Panda also return, having been absent in ''4''.
* CallBack: The CGI opening of ''Dark Resurrection'' ends with a shot of Heihachi emerging from his supposed grave during a stormy night, much like how the CGI opening of ''Tekken 2'' shows him climbing the cliff where Kazuya threw him into during a stormy night.

* CharacterCustomization: A new addition to the game. Compared to later games, the customization is rather barebones, with only a handful choices per body part and a limited color palette, but [[FairForItsDay it's a novel idea at the time]]. ''Dark Resurrection'' adds more customization items, though still a far cry from the extensive options offered by ''Tekken 6''.

* DamselOutOfDistress: As shown in the ''Dark Resurrection'' opening, Lili manages to escape her abduction by her own, kicking her kidnapper's ass along the way.

** Kuma/Panda and Christie/Eddy. They even share the former slot, though the latter is separated into different slots in ''Dark Resurrection''.
