Will the tournament be on PS3 or X360? Important information for people with sticks.
Also, was the tourney at E3 arcade or console? (sorry, 4am, not in a cohesive one-post-time-of-mind)
The tourney at E3 was on arcade.
It’s not worth it.
If the console version will be ready by July 17, I guess the release will be some time in august

This is the big announcement for certain, then.
If this the BIG SURPRISE?! Well, if they release the game sooner ‘cos of this, then I’m happy. If not, what a waste.
Farhan and tekken lover you do realise that all that has to work for this is the VS mode. Namco still has time to do force/fmvs/online coding in the next few months.
Damn! So they’re gonna bring a half-assed version of T6 to Evo which only runs the VS mode?
Half assed? Don’t you only need the VS mode to run tournaments? ;)
This is a big surprise, but it’s not my surprise to SDT community.
Damn you MarkMan! Damn you! =P
lol… you love playing with us, don’t ya!
When will you announce your big surprise MARKMAN?
After the game’s release???
Crap. I’m going to be in Las Vegas ten days before this. Can’t stay for it, though.
I just want the fucking game early man.
I hope they unveil the bundle at evo.
Like the new banner at the top..heikazjin
I’d just like a demo to tide me over til release. I (like many others) still haven’t touched the game.
Great job! THANK YOU!
