Bosconovitch, a wacky mad scientist and fan-favorite from Tekken 3.Īnd best of all, just as Harada has promised, none of the paid DLC is already on the disc, avoiding the controversy that has surrounded many of Capcom’s recent fighting game releases.
Much like the Tekken Tunes DLC, more is expected to come, including a minimum of two new characters: Violet (a palette-swap of Lee Chaolan) and Dr.
#TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 DLCS UPDATE#
This paid DLC comes right on the heels of a free patch update that in addition to reportedly fixing some balancing issues also unlocks four new stages (Russia, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Poland), A "World Arena Mode", and three new characters for use in TT2: Slim Bob (a pre-obese version of the rotund fighter Bob), Sebastian (Lili’s Butler), and Miharu Hirano (Xiaoyu’s high school classmate). The soundtracks for Tekken 4, Tekken 5 and Tekken 6 are still missing in action, so it can probably be assumed that those will be made available soon in similar fashion. "TTT2 Bonus Tracks Pack A" will set Tekken fanboys and fangirls back a measly 480 MS points, while those favour music from particular games in the franchise can buy each of the four game’s soundtracks individually for 160 MS points each (though it seems like a no-brainer to buy the discounted combo pack).

So why pay for the packs when you could just torrent all the music for free from the internet, then spend half-a-day burning them onto 4-5 CDs, ripping them one-by-one onto your 360’s hard drive and finally labelling each song individually using the 360’s handy but incredibly counter-intuitive music importing interface? Read that again and you’ve probably answered your own question (And, no, I’m not bitter about the experience at all.really!). So if you’ve always wanted to deliver your opponent a tag-team humiliation while tapping your feet to Julia Chang’s catchy Tekken 3 theme or slice up the competition to Yoshimitsu’s ultra-trippy buddhist chant-inspired "The Headshaker" from Tekken 2, now you can. As previously explained via Twitter by the game’s director, Katsuhiro Harada, players can substitute music in any of the game’s stages with any song stored on their hard-drive, or alternatively from these downloadable packs. Dubbed the "TTT2 Bonus Tracks Pack A", this pack contains both the original arcade and arranged soundtracks from Tekken 1, Tekken 2, Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament 1 for use in TTT2’s built-in jukebox, Tekken Tunes. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is scheduled for release in September this year.Namco Bandai has just released the first paid DLC pack (aside from the optional Online Pass) for Tekken Tag Tournament 2. "There are some strange people on Twitter asking for really peculiar items like bikini swimsuits - and obviously we didn't have that in our original development plan! So if we were going to do that, we'd have to create that without the budget, and we'd have to charge a little bit for those items," Harada said. While not ruling out the potential for paid DLC in the future, such purchases would be limited to cosmetic fan-service requests, rather than unique characters or balance-breaking combat sets. While no paid-for character content will be locked out for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, those who pre-order will enjoy early access to certain characters, but only for a limited period of time before the content is made available - for free - to all players. While stressing that he could only speculate on the reasons for Capcom's DLC strategy, Harada felt that much of the reasoning for including the content on the disc may have concerned the demands of online gaming, and the need to transfer data promptly between those who own the DLC, and those who don't. I think really the players' opinions and the heated discussion is whether you charge for it or not." "The character locks were like that - we never took money for it but the concept itself was there. "Tekken's never really done that before and charged for it, however we did have an system in Tekken one to five," he explained to Eurogamer in an interview. When asked about the recent controversy surrounding Capcom's decision to include an eye-watering amount of DLC on Street Fighter x Tekken's disc - unlockeable for a fee - Harada re-iterated his long-held commitment to providing all content up-front in order to preserve the chess-like nature of the character combat interaction, and the purity of the competitive fighting scene.
