Tekken 6 Launch in NYC

Tucked away in a tiny bar on Houston St on Thursday night, Tekken 6 was shared with the masses. In a move similar to Capcom's Fight Clubs, the event was free with RSVP, with a small entry fee to participate in the tournament. Quite a crowd filled in the narrow, dimly lit bar and beat the crap out of each other thanks to a few Xbox 360s and wall projections of the new fighter. Being a guy who just never got into Tekken, I was happy standing by and just watching.

The video above shows off just some of what it was like to be there. Lots of dudes. Lots of Tekken. The new game, having been in the arcades over a year now, is available on the 360 and PS3 (a PSP version is due next month.) With over 40+ characters, and based on the arcade update Bloodline Rebellions, that's a lot of fighting game to take in.

Doing a little research, one thing struck me as particularly interesting. The game runs in 576p. 720p can be achieved on the 360 by turning off the motion blur feature. You'd think in this HD day and age, 720p would be standard. Regardless, it still looked pretty fancy when projected above a bar and onto a white screen overlooking Manhattan's Lower East Side. Definition isn't everything.
