I haven't ever played Tekken.

Unfamiliar with the director.

And video game movies usually aren't every good.

So probably a no for me.

Well, they haven't used famous actors. Just people who look liike the characters. It's from a (seemingly) small director, and the trailors look awesome...

A Tekken movie? Sounds like it might be a box office bomb, are you sure it looks awesome?

Not being shown in cinemas. Going straight to DVD.

And it seems to be accurate.

Heh, not bad. Still, it's only a trailer, going to have to watch the movie to get a full opinion out of it.

I can't say I have any faith in Straight to DVD films...

I'm gonna watch it too.

And Phil? I get what you mean. There's little point in watching it if you don't play the games though.

Yeah. I'll wait until there's a Soul Calibur or BlazBlue movie to talk about.

On second thought, I can't see a good movie of either of those being conceivably made....

Heh. It's kind of funny. From both Namco Bandai and Arc System Works, I latched onto the second major fighting game series they started and have thus far completely ignored the first.

Interesting. I probably should give them both a go at some point, seeing as I love their respective sister series.

Tekken's a lot less frustrating than Soul Calibur, as there are no ring-outs. Guilty Gear's meant to be a lot more metal-based than BlazBlue

Heh. Ring outs are an interesting component in Soul Calibur. I really do like the period setting in Soul Calibur though. That's one thing I know Tekken lacks. Also, weapons are pretty cool.

Guilty Gear looks cool and all, but I'd be very surprised if it absorbed me like BlazBlue's world does.
