Talking about Tekken, they just announced Tekken 7. Your turn SEGA!

You want Sega to announce Tekken 7 too? That would sure shit Namco up... ;p

i think they won't announced it until 2012 or by the end of the next year

i wonder if it will be Based on Ring Edge , but i highly doubt it
it's not powerful enough to guarantee the next release

How did you find this out?

(I like how immediately after my post, nobody wants to discuss the topic anymore. I suppose I said all that was needed to be said.)

I think to become mainstream, i guess as you call it, it needs more than just be an arcade port. Though 3-D fighting games in general are on a decline, people are coming back to the 2-D; which SF4 basically is only rendered in 3-D .

Sega games don't sell to the hardcore. Nobody wants Sega games. VF isn't Tekken or Street Fighter or Soul Calibur. Nothing to do about it.

Virtua Fighter 4 did rather well for itself, the Virtua Fighter series has, before, on console releases hit over 1 million units sold. 2 did that in Japan alone.

Tekken or Street Fighter or Soul Calibur. Nothing to do about it.

Outside of Street Fighter, all of those have been doing terribly. Even on two platforms Tekken 6 was the worst selling in the series in a long time, and Soul Calibur has drastically dropped in sales (quality too).

Not really just that, but Street Fighter's impact on the industry is now significantly less than it was last generation, or the one before. It has more to do with people just not wanting basic fighters than anything.

Virtua Fighter has proven successful before many times, it just needs new concepts to improve interest. Not really a reboot, but a new image.

Perhaps a Fighters Megamix 2 would be a good promotional idea, except that since nobody remembers the first game, it'd have to be called "Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Fighting" or whatever. =P

Tekken's big draw's are the big cast of characters, and the fact that you can jump into it with no clue what you're doing, and do relatively well.

If you don't know what you're doing in Virtua Fighter, you get spanked.

But that's my biggest gripe with it! The first time I played Tekken it was at some tournament at school and I won against this guy that played it for 3 years. Then he turned into some kind of dragon or demon or something and killed me with one hit.
This is utterly stupid and unbalanced.

I like how in Virtua Fighter a match between two people really shows who's the best, and how if you start playing it from zero with a friend, your skills will be balanced along time. That is much fun.

Didn't say it was a good thing, but that is why it sells better.
