Tekken Revolution (Free to Play)

[skytoast]

In case you guys haven't heard the news, Namco Bandai just announced and released Tekken Revolution as a Playstation Network exlusive today at E3. It's available right now in the US (Europe and Asia to release tommorow 6/12):

It's free to play. Yes free. It uses a system called digital coins to play matches (which replenish over time - I believe 30 minutes). There are both arcade coins and versus coins. Of course you can also purchase premium coins where you use this like a real life quarter in an arcade and keep playing until you lose. I would imagine there will be some kind of premium purchase to play items given that this a "free to play" game.

Game features:
8 Characters at the moment: King, Paul, Lili, Marshall Law, Asuka, Steve, Alisa, and Lars
Arcade Battle
Player Match
Rank Match
Character Enhancement

So if you got a PS3, log on and go try it out.

Yeah.. I guess fighting games are all going "free to play" now in one form or another. Starting with Tekken, then Dead or Alive 5 Core Fighters and the upcoming Killer Instinct for next gen...

It's telling me that I can't play it offline. I can only play it while online.
I don't see any visible Practice Mode.
You need "tokens" to access features like Arcade and Online.
I don't have my Yoshimitsu straight from the start. ;-;

I didn't expect much from a free game, but I suppose it is nice for beginners who want to try Tekken but don't want to spend money just in case they don't like Tekken's system.
