Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ONLINE is finally up on both the Japanese & Hong Kong PlayStation Stores! SD TEKKEN got a couple hours of hands-on time with the upgrade and we are VERY pleased! US fans don’t fret! T5DR ONLINE will be coming out in North America mid August! Click below for our impressions and some details regarding the upgrade!
Hi everyone, it’s MarkMan again… Just wanted to throw in my two cents on T5DR ONLINE. I downloaded the full 2,800 Yen version off the Japanese PS Store as soon as it went online, the first thing I did after I installed the 550 MB game was jump online.
The first thing I wanted to figure out was whether or not people outside of Japan could play against each other online. Fortunately, YES it is possible to play people all over the world with this version of T5DR ONLINE! I played a few matches against Japanese and Korean players then finally hooked up with some American players to test how the gameplay would fare.
I played a few matches with Tekken Zaibatsu’s very own MrWizard and we both came across a mutual agreement that T5DR ONLINE was definitely playable and as a matter of fact, the lag/latency was pretty good for a fighting game. Later in the evening I tested extensively with SD TEKKEN members Empty H4nd and Ace R., the result is a bit mixed. But overall one thing is for sure, the game is playable and the lag doesn’t make you want to slam your controller on the floor(as long as both you and your opponent have good connections).
The lag would vary from match to match but often times we would have matches that were close to perfect. I used a variety of characters & I was able to do land juggles that would require precise timing… that really surprised me.
Unless you have an awesome WiFi signal I would recommend that you use a wired internet connection when playing T5DR ONLINE. Personally I found that wired was a big enough improvement over the PS3’s WiFi signal to warrant the change.
Aside from the ONLINE portion of the game there is also an updated title screen, survival mode, and the always important practice mode! The practice mode is similar to that of Tekken 5 on PS2 and even has the command capture feature, defensive training, and hit analysis that we all know and love!
Should you wait until the US version comes out? It’s really up to you. You shouldn’t be asking me this because I am a Tekken freak and would have bought it the first day no matter what. The US version is slated for mid August which sets it up for around Thursday, August 16th. If you can wait that long, do so… if not find out how to get it from either the HK or JPN PS stores!

Having played a few hours from Hong Kong, the lag can be a problem, and I haven’t experienced perfect gameplay as per offline. But Japan vs Japan matches are pretty smooth, having watched them in the same ‘room’.
oh thank you Markman yet again! i really wanted to read an impression on the T5DR online. It sounds good so far, now just gotta save up for a ps3 and it should be good :)

I was wondering if somone can post helpful info on how to purches tekken dr online on the japanese PS-Store. I created a Japanese account but i cudent add funds with my creditcard.

I was watching japan vs japan matches. looked like some of them were having problems too.
Oh well, it’s the first day, might get better.
Hey MarkMan. You have Bluetooth headsets to test the quality? I’m very curious to see if they work out well with the game. Trash talkin mwa!

Id buy a share if somebody got the HK version as have Tekken dr just need the online patch
Thanks MarkMan for the info and impressions. I feel more at ease knowing that it is coming this month for NA. (my Practice mode must be in English :P)
See you people in a few weeks!
Some updated comments about the lag: wired connection is MUCH BETTER. Don’t rely on the internal PS3 wireless adaptor. Having moved the modem to the living room, I’ve got interference on my terrestrial TV but hey, what’s more important? :-)
Still not perfect but playable. Thanks NamcoBandai!

Wizard is douchebag to me. Beck when the non-online JPN version came out he bought other people’s shares for 5-10 bucks and resold them to people for $20.
Only a fat loser would do that.
123– I got tekken dr ONLINE from the wizard… It’s not that bad of a deal…. Just get it or wait until it comes out here in the states…. My guess is that it will be pushed back… LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE US……. WOW 1080p with online….. GOTTA LUV IT.. MAN!!!!!
@123 Dont Say anything abt wizard he is just doing a fair business, if u think its expensive then wait till the us realease or go buy a share from sum1 else and they might betrayed u but wizard wont do that
hi there , ya mr.wizard wont cheat u he is great person , btw how can i download TDR online from wizard ? where can i contact him and whats is AIM ?
also what is the EXACT release date for TDR online in US ver. please tell me MarkMan? i need to know …
everybody is waiting for it here and around the world ! its like a dream becomes true people i really cant explain how exciting will be if we got the us ver here so i really need to know the official release date for the US ver , i need to tell my friends and all the fans about it .
also there is a note i’d like to say it here for all of u and markman and think about it , why they wont and didnt put a tag match just like tekken tag ? ? it’ll be DAMN great idea if they support an online CO-OP match
so what do u think people ?
rankings in online tekken are kinda from arse… u can abuse with your friend like stats 500-0 and get to 1st on rankings…. that sucks… please namco fix this!!!!! there is now currently 300-0 at 1st…. no doubt about abuse…
Hi guys, right now our SDT web team is out of town at a Sony media event, we will continue normal updates starting Monday… sorry about that!

Really, who cares about t6 now? :) t5 dr online is killing it! I can’t believe they did release both t5 dr online and t6 information at the same time.
While spending 1 year in arcades until it comes to ps3, the main attention will be with t5 dr online.

It looks like the US version of T5DR Online might not come out until Thursday, August 23rd. I got an invite to a Namco Bandai Games Inc. media event in San Francisco that will be premiering a few online titles, Tekken 5: DR ONLINE being one of them… the event it set to take place on Tuesday, Aug. 21st.
—
I’ll be there for the event, so yea, I should be able to confirm by then.
But if it comes out on the 16th, forget this post
————————————————–
Well it seems that Markman himself isnt 100% sure about the release date yet.
It *could* come on the 16th or may not even come on the 23rd as they’re guessing.
