PS4 Tekken 7 Gameplay Videos Show Graphical Downgrade

Videos of the PS4 version of Tekken 7 emerged at Tokyo Game Show and it seems to confirm that the image quality of the console port took a hit on the overall image quality. A common thing you might have seen in arcade footage of Tekken 7 is lag during certain parts of stages (usually near the wall, it was really common to have lag during wall combos) and also just during places where hitsparks would come out. Those issues still appear in the PS4 gameplay videos. The official specs of the arcade board were never detailed so we didn't know how close the arcade version specs would match the PS4s but for now we can chalk this up as just being an early version of the PS4 port. With that said, Tekken 7 is still slated for Early 2017 and things may improve in the future for a version that will eventually be the one used in tournaments. The videos here are from GameSpot's YouTube channel.

T7FR - Footage of Ver. D Balance Change Testing & Day 1 Master Raven

New balance changes and character are out so time to explore for players in arcades. The Net Arena in South Korea got to testing all the balance changes real quick and have already uploaded a 2 hour long video checking through things so it's a good resource to look at to make sense of how exactly things got changed in Version D09. Although I haven't seen many notable Raven mains pick up and try out Master Raven yet, there are videos of people playing around with her in online matches and they do a decent job of showing how she differs from the older Raven. I'll be pooling videos together of Master Raven from these following YouTube channels.

4K Resolution TEKKEN 7 PC Gameplay Footage

UPDATE: Added an interview by Nvidia Gaming with Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray from Gamescom into this piece.

After looking at this video recently released on Nvidia's Gaming channel, it is safe to say that TEKKEN 7 is the best looking fighting game out there today in the market. It's already going to be a dream playing T7 at full 1080p running at 60fps but 4K resolution? That's going to be an incredible boost to the game's Anti-Aliasing making everything look crisp and smooth if you've got the power to get into DSR. The video PR says that 4K support for Tekken 7 is not yet confirmed at this time but here's a video showcasing the game at that resolution anyway.

Tekken 7 Official Site Updated with System Info and Beginner's Guide

With Tekken 7 less then 24 hours away from being out in Japanese arcades, Bandai Namco has updated the official website for the game with new details and information on the game's systems as well as a Beginner's Guide PDF. They're all in Japanese but a lot of the information on the site is already quite well and the pictures are interesting to look at. You can look at the site update and PDF file here:

Tekken 7 Beginner's Guide ≫ http://www.tekken-official.jp/tk7ac/pdf/TEKKEN7_torikore.pdf

Something important to note is that the website says that this Feb 18 'Pre-Launch' version of Tekken 7 is Online Only. That means that, you can't play against an opponent in the same arcade via local play at all in this build. So when you go to sit down with Tekken 7, you can either play against the CPU offline or an opponent online. I believe this was made so because they want to use this release of the game to test the online across various arcades in Japan and to match newer players with same level opponents instead of the local better players they might run into. Local play, Training mode and bunch of other features will be implemented into the game later down the line. (Currently planned for March 'Full Launch.')
