I saw that...so tempting!

Gold Rush isn't a bad little way to make some money.  You do these 30-second bouts where the goal is to hit your opponent with the biggest combos and move variations.  Trying to spam one move or jab repeatedly won't get you much at all.  Both characters have infinite life; the challenge here is to keep on the offensive and keep your attack strings going for maximum gold.  Getting hit will cause you to lose money.

[bork]

Lyte, did you play TDR for the PSP?

If so, can you remind how different is TDR's gold rush to T6's? I can't remember. Also, forget the console customization, how comparable are TDR's and T6?

I did, but I barely ever did gold rush; can't remember either.  I went and put 5DR back on my CFW 2000 recently, but used a hack to get maximum gold so I could just customize right from the start.

For customization in general, TK6 SPANKS TK5 DR.  Tekken 5's customization was pretty bare bones.  Tekken 6 gives you more clothing types and accessories, plus a crazy amount of hair options.

wal-mart in port angeles has tekken 6 psp

[bork]

I think it's available everywhere-- thought today was the ship date, but nope, when I checked Gamestop.com, it said the one right near me had it in stock!  They only had a few copies behind the counter and the website says it's already backordered.  I wonder if Bamco didn't make that many copies?

[bork]

The PSN version is already up, too.  Guess that stuff about December 10th was bullshit.

[Van Cruncheon]

this is a really good port, lo-fi and poorly-compressed portraits aside. between this and some badly-compressed assets in soul calibur, i am thinking namco is really trying to get file sizes down for psn, at the expense of the product. boo to that. yay to the disgustingly awesome graphics, short load times (post-install), and an ACTUAL ARCADE STORY MODE.

[Sho Nuff]

Urg I wanna buy this game but I know it ain't gonna work on my CFW PSP

[bork]

It doesn't work on CFW yet.  But it will be patched in to work soon enough.     I can't wait to play it on the 2000.  If I get some extra cash, I may go pick up a 3000 and dump my 1000.

Yeah, although the story mode is the same as the console version -you still just do a few fights and then fight Azazel- except that you don't have to unlock anyone first in scenario mode.  I think they should have just added the prologues and endings into the game's arcade mode, but it really doesn't matter.  I'm going to be playing the challenge modes and ghost battle anyway.

Completely in agreement on the PSN size thing, although it doesn't make sense...Little Big Planet is 1.3GB on PSN.

BTW, there's one guy on Tekken Zaibatsu saying he and a friend got access to the patch early.  Kind of hard to go with just one person's impressions, but he played his friend 500 miles away, and said it was definitely better, like on par with SF4.  I don't believe this, but would assume it's going to end up as good as or better than Soul Calibur IV.  Still, anything will be an improvement!   

[Bebpo]

PSP version is only $20 on amazon.  Wow.  I'm almost tempted to get it. 

[Sho Nuff]

Would there be a way to actually run the UMD on a CFW'ed PSP or is that a pipe dream? I hear the game's 1.8gb and my memory stick is so very tiny

[Van Cruncheon]

the game is 740ish mbs

There is a ripped and patched version that now works on all CFW PSPs.  I am downloading it now.

Well I suppose that answers that question

[bork]

Tested and working!  My savedata even works.  Only issue is that it's a cso, so the load times are like playing off the umd.  So you'll want to install the data in game.  Once it's all fully patched imma rip my own copy anyway, or get any iso veesions that pop up.  Only took 'em two days to get around Sony's latest protection scheme. 

It's much better now that I can play on a better screen, and more importantly, with a befter d-pad.  I was having some issues hitting diagonals on the 1000 d-pad. 

Edit: damn iphone typing in the car

[bork]

cso with in game data install reduces the load times to 2-3 seconds.

[Sho Nuff]

edit: Yeah it's just been patched. Plays much, MUCH better. GJ Namco (don't screw up next time)

[Akala]

online patch dropped today apparently. supposed to be sexy, up to SF4 levels. just in time for the double-dip!

[Bebpo]

The online is much better but damn I cannot win in this game.  I perfect a guy 2 rounds in a row and it seems he sucks and then he perfects me 3 in a row and I'm like wtfff

And it keeps pitting me against people with 200 wins and 4th dan and stuff when I'm 9th kyu what the hell. 

[Sho Nuff]

Play as Eddy and mash the kick buttons and u will win

[bork]

I'm stuck out in Athens for Thanksgiving, so no patching for me until later tonight. I didn't have to do any driving and played the psp version the entire ride here. 

[bork]

Okay.  THIS is how you do an online update patch.  Net play now feels like it's at SF4 quality or perhaps even BETTER with 4 and 5 bar connections.  Amazing.

SNK, take note. 

[Purple Filth]

does the psp version of the game look as good as soul calibur?

[bork]

Better.  The backgrounds are insanely detailed.

[bork]

Patched ISO version is out.  No need to install anything now, so if you want to save a few hundred MB of space, use this version! 

[Akala]

just checked it. pretty fucking awesome. may be the first game this gen I triple dip on

**edit** T6PSP is a thanksgiving miracle!

[bork]

Here's some shitty pics I took of the PSP version (from off my TV).  It's such an impressive port, considering that the original arcade version is running on PS3-level hardware.






Compared to Soul Calibur Broken Destiny.  SCBD has a cleaner, crisper image.  I still think Tekken 6 is more impressive, mainly because of background details/animation.




Either way, Namco They own the PSP.

GEN's where it's at now.  No reason to still be on 5.00 M-33.

[Jansen]

whoa i figured most folks were exaggerating on how good the patch was so i rented the game to test it out and boy was i wrong!

FUCK now i regret not buying it from amazon when it was $33!

[iconoclast]

It's amazing how Namco went from shipping a complete failure (in regards to online) to making it one of the best. Didn't BlazBlue also have pretty poor online before a day-one patch? Maybe I'm just remembering wrong.

BB is still the best though.

It shows how a patch really can turn everything around and make online play great.  Makes SNK look even shittier.

Yes, BB's online play is still the best.  Too bad the game is in dire need of balancing.  BB's online wasn't poor pre-patch, but it was below SF4.  The patch shot it up into a class all on its own.

What sucks is that a lot of people may have dropped Tekken or not given it a chance because of how the online was, without knowing that it's been fixed now.

[Bebpo]

Game is $20 new on amazon today, lol.

I wonder if this is the biggest retail bomba of 2009.  They shipped 2 million copies and sold what 150k?

That's a shame; ignoring the "who cares?" scenario campaign, there's really nothing to complain about post-patch.  They should have delayed it and shipped it "fixed." 

[Jansen]

definitely gonna pick up a copy at that price!

[bork]

definitely gonna pick up a copy at that price!

I just checked this...the 360 version is priced at $20.  The PS3 version is still $60.

[Jansen]

they're both showing up as $20 for me.

now it isn't. amazon must of sold out of the ps3 version already.

[Don Flamenco]

fuck.  why did impulse buy this game at full price??  I could've gotten a special edition for cheaper and now this deal...

[Jansen]

Who knew?  Don't beat yourself up over it.  But I do wish I'd held off on the PSP version for a day or two, since it was on sale for half-price at Amazon during Thanksgiving.

[Sho Nuff]

Oh horrors, I have to go back to Pennsylvania where there are no game consoles for a whole three weeks, whatever shall I do!?

Heihachi Mishima really is dead.   :'(

According to the Chunichi News, popular voice actor Gouri Daisuke, aged 57 has died from extensive loss of blood from his arm.
