The Will of D
It's a shame Microsoft won't allow RARE to give Nintendo their old games for Virtual Console use, like Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Goldeneye. Plus it's not likely any of these N64 games will be available on Xbox Live Market Place as they don't have an emulator.
On the seventh dawn of the seventh day a twice-blessed man will roam the fields. Doomed to shadows with his brethren, or saviour to all who walk the ground.
Do the heizman on that ho
It's a pride thing, I dont think microsoft will submit to nintendo, they want to mess them up as much as they can. Oh well its not like Perfect Dark was that good anyway.Originally Posted by P. Wolvesbane

It's not Perfect Dark i' worried about, it's the others I really want to play.

Skullfucked the ecosystem
Well, Diddy Kong racing was developed by Rare for the DS, right? If that's the case, then it doesn't rule out future Rare VC releases, as long as it can't be considered a conflict of interest.
I'm pretty sure that you'd likely see games like PD on Microsoft's download service before you'd see them on the VC though. It just makes sense.
Pretty much never here.
See, the reason behind Rare being allowed to dev DK Racing for the DS is because Microsoft isn't in the handheld market, therefore they don't consider the DS a threat in any way. Hell, Microsoft Game Studios themselves licensed Backbone Games to develop MechAssault and Age of Empires for the DS.
Skullfucked the ecosystem
I know.
That's why I believe that we'll be likelier to see PD on Microsoft's download service rather than the VC.
Wanna play?
Has everyone seen the new Porals game coming out that runs on the half life 2 engine. Its insane. Looks like hours of fun just playing around with the physics. Check out the videos:

You've just been marked!
Isn't that basically things that were done in Episode 1, and for Episode 2?

No.
not actually a catgirl
I've seen videos of Portal a looong time ago. It looked pretty nice, playing with physics and that portal-making technology.
Well, I don't remember creating portals and such in Episode 1.Portal just uses the same engine, but will be a different experience, or so it seems.
Bye!
The Tekken 6 story has been posted on the popular Japanese Tekken resource site, Sunlight Yellow. The news cited is from the June issue of Arcadia Magazine’s Tekken 6 feature. Here is a brief synopsis of the story and character profiles that were posted on the TZ thread:
Story:
Leo:The 5th “King of the Iron Fist Tournament” has ended with Heihachi Mishima missing and the eventual winner being Jin Kazama.
Jin Kazama then assumes the role as head of the Mishima Zaibatsu and beings using the special Tekken force units for propaganda and manipulative acts all over the world. Eventually many people become upset by this and it starts riots and eventually war amongst nations.
With the world now at war, many nations lose their power and the Mishima Zaibatsu declares itself as an independent nation.
The Mishima Zaibatsu is intent on conquering the world with only G Corporation to stand in its way. People around the world see G Corporation as a savior and G Corporation offers a price on Jin Kazama to anyone that can bring him in alive.
Just as anyone could have expected, the announced for the 6th “King of Iron Fist Tournament” was under way.
Those that want to make a name for themselves, those that seek money, and those that want revenge. Many different ideals and goals gather while the Tekken 6 tournament is unveiled.
Leo’s father is a world famous detective. Leo wants to become just like her father. Her father ends up missing before the tournament is announced.
Leo is of German ethnicity and practices Hakyokuken style of martial arts.
Leo’s mother works in the same G Corporation division that may have betrayed Kazuya.
Leo lived happily with her mother until she is murdered.
The murder investigation ends abruptly and after mourning Leo decides to take matters into her own hands.
Upon further investigation into the murder, Leo notices that a name, “Kazuya Mishima” keeps showing up and then decides to enter the next Iron Fist Tournament to get her revenge.
Zafina:
Zafina is a guardian to the tomb of a royal family at a village that has been around for centuries. The sealed grave is believed to protect the well being of the tribe.
Many martial artists have tried to enter the tomb but Zafina has single handedly defeated them all.
Zafina follows the ideals of astrology and finds out that something very bad is going to happen, something that could possibly lead to the end of the world.
One day the village elders prophisized that when two “evil stars” meet, the seal on the graves will be broken and the world end.
Zafina leaves the village to see if the world is really going to end.
Heihachi:
After being assaulted by the Jack force, Heihachi wakes up only to find out that the “King of Iron Fist Tournament 5″ has already ended.
He goes back to Zaibatsu headquarters only to find the Tekken force blocking his way.
After the next Iron Fist Tournament is announced and Heihachi finds out that Jin Kazama is the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, he is enraged and declares that he will get everything back.
Yoshimitsu:
Trying to avenge his fallen Manji clan comrades, while going after Bryan Fury, Yoshimitsu realizes that his sword is weakening.
His sword is a cursed blade. By killing evil doers and villains the sword would retain its power, otherwise the cursed sword will make the user go insane.
Yoshimitsu realizes that he can no longer use his old sword and decides to use another blade that seals the properties of the cursed sword. He then decides to enter the King of Iron Fist 6 Tournament.
Kazuya:
Kazuya Mishima has figured out which division of G Corporation was the one that betrayed him and viciously killed them all.
Kazuya has now risen to the head of G Corporation in the shadows.
The world is now against the Mishima Zaibatsu and Kazuya fuels the fire by leading G Corporation against it.
Kazuya can’t stand anyone else conquering the world other than himself so he decides to go against Jin Kazama and the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Kazuya realizes that G Corporation is very influencial amongst the people of the world now and he announces that anyone who captures Jin Kazama alive will receive a handsome cash reward.
Immediately following his announcement, the King of Iron Fist 6 Tournament is announced by the Mishima Zaibatsu. Kazuya predicted this would happen and began to laugh hysterically.
Here are some translations of both Leo’s and Zafina’s profiles:
Leo’s Tekken 6 Profile
Zafina’s Tekken 6 ProfileLeo is the child of world-renowned male spelunker, and a top female executive of the biotech firm, G Corporation.
Leo’s father, whom she respected, disappeared during an exploration when she was a child, but even so, she strove to become an explorer like her father. She grew up to be a straight and narrow person with her kind mother, but her happy days came to an abrupt end when someone killed her mother.
Saddened by her mother’s death, she shut everyone out of her life, but the unexpected and inconclusive end to her mother’s murder investigation, prompted her to continue the investigation on her own. Not too long after she started her, she came across the name of a man named Kazuya Mishima, G Corporation’s very own. And as G Corporation was praised as the world’s savior, all attempts at approaching had ended in failure.
News of the Mishima Financial Group opening a martial arts tournament called The King of the Iron Fist Tournament was spreading, and knowing that Kazuya was going participate directly in the tournament, Leo too followed suit, believing this would be her only chance to avenge her slain mother.
Zafina, who has great spiritual powers, was born to a group of spiritual warriors with an ancient past.
Since childhood, Zafina was raised to be a protector of an imperial tomb. Several years ago, a foreign army attacked the imperial tomb she and her group were protecting, and Zafina single handedly wiped every single one of them out. Since then, the group’s guru appointed her to be its sole assassin.
In her public life, she uses her spiritual powers as an astrologist, but recently she can only see evil omens, and her premonitions grow more and more intense day by day. Seeking to understand the meaning behind all of this, Zafina sought the advice of her guru, and he began to tell her an ancient tale passed down from generation to generation only to a select few. According to the tale, two evil stars will shake the world when they come into contact, and, inevitably, the two will unite with the sealed ancient evil being protected by her group, destroying the world. Zafina considered the meaning behind the guru’s tale and her premonitions well.
Setting out on a course that took her far east, to the place the evil stars were believed to be gathering, she journeyed with the intentions of destroying them.
New details from Tougeki Damashi Vol. 5 indicate a massive overhaul for many of the returning characters in Tekken 6. Some of the highlights from the interview include:
-Animations have been changed for every character.
-All characters have an “item move”, like the Bryan shotgun I posted earlier in the TRAILER. Although not all of them will have the same effectiveness.
An example of an “item move” will be Anna throwing her high heels at her opponents.
-Harada officially stated that Leo IS a girl.
-So far Yoshimitsu has gone under the most drastic change (not just his appearance this time). Harada notes that it will be much more difficult to use Yoshimitsu this time around and they consider him an “Expert” character. Part of his story includes the fact that his sword is now losing power and he must take a new fighting style, Kenjutsu from the Manji clan - this includes both dual sword fighting and pure fist fighting.
-A lot of Lei Wulong’s laying down stances have been changed. They look more like Lei Fei and Shun Di’s laying down stance from Virtua Fighter 5. They also changed the properties where Lei can be counter-hit and juggled out of his laying down stances.
-Many changes were done to Marshall Law. It is noted that fans of Bruce Lee and those that know of Jeet Kune Do will be very pleased.
\O/ ...That is all.
So, would it be right to confirm Jin Kazama as the boss in this game? I think it is a good time.
It seems, although he was playable in the game, Heihachi Mishima never even participated in Tekken 5. :O!
Kazuya has taken over G-Corp, the group that resurrected him and rivals to the Mishima Zaibatsu. The world has turned against Jin and the Zaibatsu, and Kazuya will use this to his advantage.
View the image at the top of the post for more pics, including new look Yoshimitsu. He is shiny, has a tail...he looks like something out of Transformers!
So far, these are the confirmed characters:
Zafina
Leo
Anna Williams
Asuka Kazama
Armor King
Bryan Fury
Feng Wei
Heihachi Mishima
Hwoarang
Jack (Unspecified model)
Jin Kazama
Kazuya Mishima
Lei Wulong
Lili
Ling Xiaoyu
Marshall Law
Sergei Dragunov
Yoshimitsu

Elmdor is going to be pissed
Great. So she's moved from the most girly boy in tekken to the most boyish girl in tekken.-Harada officially stated that Leo IS a girl.
Most likely. Although it's also highly possible Kazuya could be a boss/sub boss due to him becoming the head of G-corp.So, would it be right to confirm Jin Kazama as the boss in this game?
If I had to guess the last 3 fights would likely be Kazuya-Jin-Some kind of new super powerful Devil Jin.
Although it's also possible there's some new "final boss" which hasn't been mentioned yet.
