Namco Bandai have at last announced the next iteration of its long-loved Tekken franchise, while simultaneously declaring the game’s migration to the Unreal engine – a seemingly common occurrence with fighting games of late…
Producer Katsuhiro Harada proclaims their reason for this sudden change is so that development can be more focused on the game rather than on creating the engine, with Unreal’s vast multi-platform support also being an incentive – though whether this decision was out of laziness or strained finances is not clear, as is the matter of whether the game may be finding its way onto more platforms than usual.
The announcement came by way of trailer at the Evolution Championship Series fighting game tournament:
Follow-up details will be revealed at a Comic-con panel on July 25th.

I assume that Tekken X Street Fighter is just vaporware at this point.
I think at this point they are hoping everyone forgot about it. Considering we have never even seen a single screenshot I don't see it happening ever.
Considering the fans' mixed reception of Street Fighter X Tekken, it is pretty much likely.
I thought this was a fighting game. what is this trailer?
Using Unreal engine means it will be possible to make this Tekken VR & Oculus Rift compatible. So sweet.
Possible for who? Namco? Fans? Why would they anyone do that? What good is VR when you see stuff from the side?
Because hentaiyarou.
you shitty weaboo
Mortal Kombat X will kick its ass anyway
MK is an has been
And a was not.
>muh block button
gayest. controls. ever.
Hopefully with a fresh engine they'll get rid of the "Ow my back!" animation that's been around since forever seemingly.
but WHENS MAHVEL!?
shut up woolie!!!
Why so salty?
that is the question.
Unreal 4 engine means no PS3/360 etc editions. It'll be Xbox One and PS4 only.
No one cares about poorf@gs & their nearly decade old hardware.
Wow don't be so butdevasted because somebody made a point. But anyway at this point the PS3/XBOX360 is just as important volume wise than their successors, considering how many people at this moment even have a one of those consoles around the globe.
Speaking of which, Need for Speed on the Wii U used PC textures, something the PS3/360 wasn't capable of..
Here you're wrong, UE is one of the most portable engines, in facts last Epic Games title (UT3) was 90% developed to work on consoles, there're a shitload of UE games running on consoles actually.
oh jes, my wallets is soaked in excitement.
Ack, those voices...
Now we wait for a Street Fighters 5 and Dead or Alive 6 announcement.
Lily pantsu please
Spell her name properly, you stupid bastard.
Shup ut son the thousand bitch
no Xiaoyu?? she be da best!!
So the game will actually be worth something now.
You must be an expert at things worthless.
yet another decent franchise ruined by a crappy first person shooter engine.
next we'll see dead or alive using id tech 6 after doom is released "just because"
A Game Engine has nothing to do with a Genre.
also, the new Guilty Gear Xrd uses Unreal Engine 3
your wrong, UE is crap.
Exactly. Everyone knows the engine is bad so that's why so many developers use it. Yes, they use it just to annoy you. No other reason. Everyday they go to work thinking "Oh god, another day with this engine. I can barely take it anymore. But we'll piss of our fans so it's worth it".
Let me guess. Unity, Source and just about every other engine is bad too, right?
Unreal Engine is easy to code and its cheap so yep devs will buy it and save money and time.
Is it a good engine? Yes but i prefer CryEngine its just "the feeling" for me :).
Source is not bad ( ill wait for the new Source engine ) but Unity is shitty no doubt about it HAH!.
You're an idiot. Unreal Engine has been used to create a of those few JPRG titles you weaboos love so much and used be Japanese architects to design buildings in an environment where everything from the floor designs to the lighting can be simulated in realtime.
And as for 2D fighters, Guilty Gear Xrd already showed the world that Unreal Engine is god tier. But keep your bitching little weaboo. Tell those Japanese developers not to use Unreal Engine, tell them to waste 1-2 years of finances & development creating the next Final Fantasy engine. That just means less of your shitty JRPG titles flooding the market and budget cuts in other key areas like graphics & expected gameplay time.
Cool and all...
But STOP USING THE WORD REALTIME, if you don't know what exactly that means
You western don't know anything about game development.
Latest Mortal Kombat was also use Unreal Engine too.
At the end, Liam Neeson wins
Finally, back to the solo fight system. Tag was getting a bit overwhelming. Now I can Steve Fox it up again. Sonic Fang~Sonic Fang~Sonic Fang~11b~db2
... weeks ago, LOL.
"What, are you a fucking moron? It's so we can make it incredibly easy to multi platform it, and not have to worry about that shit.."
"Erhm, I mean, it's so we can focus on making the game much better!!"
Well, for only 20 usd/mo if they don't use the UE now that is basically free and open source, they're morons.
