Namco also avoided providing further details on the fruits of its tie-up deal with Enix and Square, despite having promised to do just that at this meeting.

Looking a bit closer at the statements, Namco seems to have confirmed that many of its most popular franchises will see sequels, or at least upgrades, with Online functionality in the future.Īs mentioned last week, the company is also developing original networked titles, and is looking into various forms of connectivity, including server-based and peer-to-peer. This seems to be indirect confirmation that the upcoming Xenosaga will have Online features. This includes Seven, the Tales series (Tales of Eternia, etc), Khamrai (a PlayStation RPG), the Klonoa Series and Xenosaga. The company stated that it would be equipping many of its major titles with Online features. In addition to this announcements, Namco also made clear its intentions with Online gaming.

Namco referred to this game as only an arcade title, and didn't even elaborate on the choice of arcade board. So really, 3 (after reading wiki backstories and recaps of 1 and 2), 4 and 5 are the most important things for lore.Unfortunately, the fate of Soul Calibur 2 wasn't clarified. The game has two new additions to its original cast: The first is Christie Montero, a student of Eddy Gordos Capoeira style who plays a lot like her teacher. The Tag games aren't canon but some of their cinematics have fun little narratives anyway. Newcomers engage old favorites in interactive, multi-leveled arenas. Tekken strikes back with new jaw-dropping graphics, game play mechanics, and fearsome fighters. The game was well-received by critics, and it would serve as the first entry in the popular Tekken series, with a sequel, Tekken 2, being released in 1995. It was originally released for arcades in 1994, and ported to the PlayStation a year later. The anime and film versions are in no way canon and not worth your attention here Summary: Tekken 4 marks the return of Namcos premier fighting franchise. Tekken () is a fighting game developed and published by Namco. The plot becomes garbage starting with the PS3 games. Just remember that not everything about their ending will carry over into their plot next game. However that doesn't necessarily mean that you should ignore everyone else- their stories are also fun and often their endings have elements that make sense in canon even with their tournament victory being non-canon. There is only one 100% canon story per game. For the PS2 games, everything you need is in game. The silent cutscenes in 3 are actually pretty cool so long as you've read that context, though, so I'd check those out at least (1 and 2 are much less lore heavy so you don't really need to actually play them for the plot at all, but the same approach applies if you want to). Wiki is probably your easiest bet (if you really want to 'experience' it look up character backgrounds before playing their arcade mode but not their ending). For the PS1 games, the backstory was only provided out of game so you won't understand shit unless you look it up online.

Alright, so here's the breakdown as I understand it.
