Tekken 5 is a 3D fighting game and the fifth main installment of the Tekken series. Developed and published by Namco, it was released in 2004 for the arcades and 2005 for the PlayStation 2. The arcade version uses the Namco System 256 arcade board, an upgraded version of Namco System 246, based on the PS2.Almost immediately after the previous tournament ended in a less than stellar family reunion, Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima awaken at the Mishima Zaibatsu's Hon-maru compound to an ambush of JACK-4 robots, sent by G Corporation to kill them. With their backs to the wall, the father and son choose to team up against the onslaught to ensure their survival - at least until Kazuya chooses to escape the scene in his Devil form, leaving his old man to die in the explosion that follows.Around a month later, Jin Kazama, who defeated both his father and grandfather in the battle that preceded the explosive incident, has been plagued by nightmares causing his Devil Gene to not only awaken, but increase its destructive capabilities. With the Zaibatsu's infamous owner gone, a mysterious figure has claimed ownership and announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Jin chooses to enter the tournament in search of answers, while Kazuya seeks an opportunity to claim revenge against G Corporation.The game is mainly noted for bringing the series "back to its roots" after Tekken 4, whose radical gameplay changes garnered mixed reception among the fanbase. New to the series is Crush, a feature in which different moves have different vulnerabilities (such as a jumping attack being unable to be countered by a low kick). Uneven stages have been discarded, with the game being strictly set on a flat plane, and infinite stages also make a comeback. Though wall juggling returns, it has been modified so it can be abused less, so characters will not be able to juggle their opponent again and again. In general, the game feels much faster compared to its predecessor.Revisiting the roots also extends to non-gameplay areas as well. While the art style is carried over from the previous game, the characters' costuming, stage designs, and story are more in line with the pre-4 games. 4 is noted for attempting to ground the series to reality, something that 5 brushes off in favor of the fantastical elements of older games. Some of the most radical changes in characters' costumes (such as Hwoarang's military uniform and Heihachi's mawashinote Often mistaken to be diaper) have also been removed.The arcade version introduces a card system that allows players to track their statistics and unlocks. It also features controller ports for PlayStation controllers, allowing players to use their own controllers rather than the ones provided by the cabinet.The console version features the debut of the character customization feature, including the ability to edit the costume's color. Every character's Story Battle includes cutscenes in the sub-boss stages, either 4, 7, or 8.note In 4, only the plot-relevant characters have one and only then near the end. Instead of advancing through a set of 9 stages, Arcade Battle pits the player in an endless string of ranked matches against ghost CPUs, with the player earning ranking promotions or demotions by beating or losing against certain opponents. In place of Tekken Force, the game has "Devil Within", an action minigame with Jin as the sole playable character as he fights his way through a secret Mishima Zaibatsu facility.UpdatesThe arcade version received two updates. Rebalancing aside, the first, Tekken 5.1 adds no new content, other than recoloring the health bar from yellow to green. The second, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, is a bigger deal. It adds 3 new characters, a slew of new items, and thematic variations of all stages and BGM in the original game. The interface is completely changed and every character's clothing has different color palette (for example, Xiaoyu's qipao is recolored orange from pink).Dark Resurrection was ported to the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3 via online download (in the former as Tekken: Dark Resurrection), marking the first time that a Tekken game was released for a seventh-generation console as well as the first with online play. The PSP version adds Tekken Dojo, where you advance through six dojo by winning battles, and Gold Rush, whose objective is to earn gold by dealing enough damage to the enemy while surviving their attacks. It also sees the return of Tekken Bowl and Command Attack from Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken 4, respectively. The PS3 version was created as an arcade-perfect port and does not feature Story Mode. Online matches were also not available until half a year after release.Playable characters in the game include: | |
