Rumor: Tekken 6 PSP adds Story modes for Lars and Alisa

by David Hinkle { Nov 4th 2009 at 12:45PM }

There may be extra incentive to check out the PSP version of Tekken 6, as Siliconera reports the handheld port will feature story modes for newcomers Lars and Alisa. The news originally fought its way onto the net via online retailer Rakuten, but the page has since been pulled, with no new listing surfacing. The PSP port will also apparently replace the console version's Scenario Mode with Gold Rush Mode, where each fight earns the player money to customize their character.

Many of you may have noticed the game failed to meet its October 27 release date, just as we thought it would -- several retailers now peg down the US release for November 29, while it looks like Japan will have to wait until January 14, 2010.

I'm just shocked how poorly done the PS3 version is. Considering how great load times and everything was on Dark Resurrection, it's almost inexcusable. I get this is a disc based game, but I did a damn install on it, and while it's 3 times faster now, that's still considerably slower then my load times on T5:DR.

The Team Battle load shouldn't even exist, I don't need to switch stages, just pop in the new character... Not to mention the load between retries... why's that got to even happen? I can't reselect my character....

Bah, I'm just a complainer. But all this does make me worry for PSP... the system with the notorious load times already.

...oh, and I would be remiss not to mention I love this game. It's got a lot of niceties to it. Maybe don't like it as much as T5:DR, but it's still been worth my purchase.

hmm idk tekken 6 was kinda a let down besides the story.. they added a bit more moves and did it so the game is like base on air juggle but i guess some ppl like the change

That's good news!! I'm looking forward to this version since the 360/PS3 scenario and arena modes are a piece of crap. I'm all for the classic "fight 10 or so fights, get a FMV ending" mode just like the one in Dark Resurrection. I mean, really... that Tekken Force thing sucked big time.

Hey don't dis tekken force mode.....I miss how every time you picked up the health chicken it would say "CHICKEN"! I don't care for the sound it makes now.

I'm rather surprised that there is such a delay between the US release and the Japan release, Being in Japan now, a little irritating that i have to return to the states before i can enjoy tekken 6 on the subway
