Tekken 7

Thank goodness.

In regards to the VA issue, why not have an option to switch between voices, like switching between French and English for Lili and Japanese and English for say, Asuka?

Too good an idea, and they don't want to pay for any more voice actors than they have to.

Street Fighter IV did it.

Street Fighter 4 had English and Japanese for the whole cast.

Tekken also has French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and whatever the hell Ogre and Yoshimitsu are speaking. It's a little harder to justify an English switch in Tekken's case.

Yoshimitsu speaks cyber-Japanese, and Ogre doesn't speak, he just kind of roars (both ancient and true).

Will this be on Steam?

Dunno. It'd be Tekken's first PC release, but Unreal Engine 4 is designed for PC and the new consoles, so there is certainly a chance. Plus, I think Namco has some other stuff coming to PC. Some game called Rise of Incarnates, which is made by people from both the Soul Calibur and Tekken teams.

If I remember correctly, didn't Tekken Blood Vengeance have an option to switch between English and Japanese voices?

Sure, but that's a movie.

New Arab character incoming, potentially.

So Altiar made it into this game huh? Maybe he'll have Ezio's move set from Soul Calibur.

That sounds cool and interesting.

Given the trailer, think the game will have hour-long cutscenes ala Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots?

Nothing longer than Scenario Campaign's cutscenes from 6, I think.

Didn't Street Fighter x Tekken have multiple language options?

Capcom developed it, and they only ever bother with Japanese and English.

Tekken has about 8 languages it juggles (maybe more if the Arabic fighter makes it in), so it'd be kind of inconsiderate to disregard the other 6-7.

Yeah, I prefer Tekken's method more than any other fighting game. Makes characters feel more ethnically authentic outside of just a name & costume.

Speaking of which I had a glance at the leaderboards and the top guy has played like 25000 matches. Say three minutes each match, divided by 60 to get how many hours (1250) divided a typical eight hour work day. This guy had put in half a year playing time.

Is that even possible? I know TTT 2 had been out for two years now, but yikes. Where does one find that many hours for one game?

In regards to what T7 should do, think we should have characters get their own stages back, like how it was in T2 and T3? I mean, let's give the Rogers and Alex (if assuming Roger Sr. and Alex will come back) the Poolside stage as a nod to Roger Sr. and Alex having an island for their stage in T2 with the Fiji theme given.

Sure, but let's have it that they're not specific and locked to a character. What I mean by this is that it's not a specific fighter's stage, just where you happen to fight them. Kind of less ownership on the stage but players would quickly identify that's Kazuya's stage, that's Heihachi's stage, ect.

Agreed. I love character specific stages, and the cast is diverse enough nowadays that we could get a pretty big variety.

Really hope that card has a new character on it.
