I somewhat thought the same due to how good the originals graphics were for its time. But there is a big difference. I will do a comparison later on for fun when I get the time :)

I am happy to see that is will have good single player content. I was disappointed with Tekken 7. Once I finished the main story there was not a whole lot more to do.

The original Dreamcast game did look pretty jaw dropping for its time. It was so damn playable too.

I remember connecting my Dreamcast up to my new Philips matchline 32 inch wide-screen TV and being blown away.

Not found any other fighting game anywhere near as good since.
 
i also loved the DC version and probably the only fighting game i've played with some actual single player content thats worth playing - so looking forward to this!
 
I am preloading it now on steam. Only 11.6GB? Not sure if that is the whole game, as most other recent fighters are like 30-70GB's!
 
This was released last night where I had a go of arcade mode, online and character creation. Not tried the story modes yet. Have to say this has certainly met my expectations!

Turned out the game is indeed only 11.6GB's! I wonder why Tekken 7 is like over 5 times larger? The only thing I can think about is the textures could be better in this game which would obviously increase size. Hopefully we get a 4K texture pack at some point, but if we don't I am still happy with what we have as it does look good.

The game appears to be a lot more optimised than other fighting games. It needs a lot less grunt compared to the likes of Street Fighter 5, Injustice 2 and Tekken 7. All the while looking just as good if not better!

The online mode is surprisingly good and I only experience some lag in one out of 6 fights I had (which I only won like 2, lol) :)

Will post some 4K images and my final verdict later on today. But for now I can say if you enjoyed the original like I did on the Dreamcast back in the day, you won't be disappointed with this :D
 
Played the two single player story modes. They are good but I do wish they had cinematics like Mortal Kombat X/Injustice 2 which would really help make them be more entertaining and be less bland. That said I am very happy they are there.

If they did the above and had something similar to fight money Street Fighter 5 has to earn and unlock stuff slowly by playing rather than it being mandatory to pay, this would be close to a 10 for me as fighting games go. Certainly see myself playing this a lot more compared to Tekken 7 for example.

I know we won't be getting any of what I would like to see above, but it would be nice if at some point they released a 4K texture pack.


Here are some 4K images I have taken:

An example of what can be done in character creation mode :)

Assuming you managed to get it downloaded by now, how have you been finding it?

I kind of wished they used to where you would have to play arcade mode with certain characters to unlock others, that used to be very satisfying :)

Just home from work will jump on after s#%t shave and shampoo and see how it plays . who was that dagger dude than moved around like snake gonna have to see that guy in 4k now haha . yeah I miss progression . arcade mode for tekken 3 was the most fun I've had on that side of things ... The only costumes I care about is devil.and angel varients so the way games have gone for that most recently doesn't help keep my attention . I want a true ogre moment .
 
I am happy to report that Soulcalibur 6 has made it to the top of my current favourite fighting games on PC.
  1. SoulCalibur 6
  2. Street Fighter 5
  3. Mortal Kombat X
  4. Injustice 2
  5. Tekken 7
  6. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
  7. Killer Instinct
  8. Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite

To be fair the gap between SoulCalibur 6 and Street Fighter 5 is minimal and they may swap positions in the future due to Street Fighter 5 having Fight Money which is fun to earn and spend on unlocking new characters and stages. Recently unlocked Sagat :)

Tekken 7 should be in 3rd spot really, but due to the way the game has been designed, there is nothing drawing me back to play it. Also for some reason it is just not as fun as it used to be for me as the one's on the PlayStation back in the day.

The only game left to complete my fighting game collection on the PC now is a Virtua Fighter game :D
 
Looks like 2B from Nier: Automata is headed over as DLC. Looks very good, but I will wait until all dlc cheap until I pick it up unless they release a must have hero, I am very happy with Geralt as I am playing Witcher 3 also right now :D
