Sony have announced Tekken 5 will finally be coming to the PlayStation 2 around Winter next year. The game will feature 20 default brawlers, as well as a stack of unlockable characters.
After the completion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, a fierce battle between father and son unfolded at Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters. Jin emerges as the victor in this battle and continues to defeat Heihachi, his grandfather–-but spares both Kazuya and Heihachi’s lives in honor of his mother who loved peace.

While many presume the death of Heihachi Mishima will end the reign of Mishima Zaibatsu, an announcement is made for the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, with an unknown replacement to Heihachi leading the organization. The fight begins once again.
Good news indeed for Tekken fans. We have a heap of screenshots from the game in our games library, you can check them out right here.

Does anyone else think Tekken 4 kinda sucked? I have tag and love it, then played 4 and just couldn't get into it.

Only if your a newb, a button masher will get his ass kicked by someone with a half decent knowledge of moves.

Yeah man, I hear you. That's exactly like me. Love tekken tag, but Tekken 4 was crap. It was slow, the movement didn't feel right. It just didnt have that tekken feel.

Hope this Tekken is decent. Tekken 4 was a bit of a letdown.

:) I loved the tekken series since the first...
tekken 2 would have to of been my favourite, I can still remember that feeling I got when I bet my bro 1-8 in team battle mode with Heiachi(spelling?). But sadly im in the same position as Enemy and sold my ps2 :(.

Tekken and Final Fantasy series are the only reasons to have a ps2.

Ive loved all the tekken games. Heihachi and Hwoarang being my favorite characters.. Sucks that heihachis dead in this 1 tho :(

Button bashing is for noobs... and for breakdance characters.

Tekken Tag pwned the hell out of Tekken 4, a lot more characters and bowling on Tag, but there IS tekken force on 4.....the cons outweigh that pro for Tekken 4, I hope they pull out something new.
Oh noes! Heihachi is dead? Who will I use now??? *uses Yoshimitsu and Bryan combo*
Final Fantasy X > *

Yeh i was pretty peeved aswel, Jin was in his prime in Tag tournament, man he pwned everyone.

Il prolly master Law first as he is and always has been my favourite.
But im not some guy who just ***** his backflip kick, i do the punch combos, leet jugling and shizzle like that.

Tiger J.K. is right on the money, people who play on easy arnt challenged by the ai, they are just too slow.
Play on ultra hard and master counters and 10 hit combos, then you should have no probs taking down he mashers of buttons.
