Namco Bandai has unleashed a teaser trailer for it’s latest edition to the classic arcade franchise, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. This will be Tekken’s first foray onto the PS3. So far two new characters, Zafina and Bob, have been confirmed of the six new personalities joining the roster of your favorites. Zafina is a very spiritual character intent on the fall of “two evil stars” while Bob is an American martial artist genius.

The E3 2009 video shows off, the new blur motion options. It also gives gamers a glimpse of the new character customization options. Watch the Tekken 6 E3 Trailer after the jump.

If you were somehow clinging to the hope that Tomonobu Itagaki might return to Team Ninja, I think we’re pretty much past the point of no return between the lawsuit against Tecmo and their subsequent response. But, that doesn’t mean we have to enjoy any of Itagaki’s games or appreciate his work any less. With that in mind, Xbox 360 Fanboy put together a look back at his body of work — from the original Dead or Alive to the present day.

Page 11 is my personal favorite, as it recounts some of Itagaki’s most memorable quotes. Itagaki on Tekken: “I no longer can figure out what the hell they’re trying to do with the numbering, and I don’t know which one is which. I don’t know what they’re trying to do with all of these spin-offs, so this includes Nina: Death by Degrees as well. I don’t think it even needs saying, but people should stay away from Tekken. Nothing left to say. I just don’t want them to disappoint me any more. It’s so annoying. Please don’t annoy me any more.”

He’s also taken shots at Devil May Cry 4 and Heavenly Sword, both of which you’ll find in the story. But don’t forget the comments he made about Ninja Gaiden Sigma recently, when he claimed the game was “no good.”

As a fan of Itagaki’s, I’m upset to see him go, but hopefully we’ll see him do something radically different now that he’ll be working elsewhere.

Crystal Sky, the production company behind the Tekken movie and the recently announced Castlevania has secured $200 million worth of financing for five of their films. The other films include “Pac-man” (??) “Losing My Virginity,” and a sequel to John Woo’s “Hard Boiled”. Crystal Sky also controls the rights to Brad Thor’s bestselling novels, as well as the toy and comic book licenses Bratz, Deathlok and Ghost Rider.

Variety is reporting that Crystal Sky Pictures made the deal with Grosvenor Park for the five movies mentioned above and Steven Paul, head of Crystal Sky stated:

“This financing is helping us in our expansion plans to green light films more quickly. We’re now one of the few companies to have a big budget with which to develop our slate.”

Good lord. A Pac-man movie? Seriously? I shudder at what it could actually consist of script wise, let alone the thought of what it will look like – green screen with actors or animated.

Jonathan, one of our wonderful writers here at Gaming Today, provided what he thinks the new Pac-man movie should be about, and I think he is on to something: An action thriller where Pac-man’s a hard-nosed cop who plays by his own rules and has a dot-eating problem that he developed after his wife died. The ghosts would be the dot-smuggling gang he has to take down at the end, and he has issues with his Chief: “You’re a loose cannon, Pac-Man!” “You want my badge, Chief? You can have it, you damn wakka wakka!”

God, I really hope that is the route they go.

Oh, yeah…I totally forgot that there was a Tekken movie in the works. That probably has something to do with the fact that nothing I’ve heard about it so far makes it sound anywhere near watchable. Still, it looks like a couple of images from the film have been revealed online. The first image shows MMA star Cung Le in full costume as Marshall Law. And by “full costume,” I mean “dragon pants.” The second image shows Jonathan Foo as Jin Kazama, sporting the “leather jacket with no shirt” look. Expect this one to disappoint both film critics and gamers alike in 2009.

It seems to be a staple of every fighting game these days: there has to be some old guy that can straight up kick everyones ass. Virtua Fighter has Shun-Di, Tekken has Heihachi, and now it looks like the upcoming Facebreaker has Ice. This new trailer for the game shows off some of Ice’s moves and character a bit. Basically, he seems a lot like an elderly version of Shaft in boxing trunks. I get the feeling his sexual innuendo is going to get real disturbing after a few rounds though.

Chris Eden, one of the top dogs when it comes to the PlayStation Network, discussed the platform at GDC but what with all of the other big names talking, much of what he said was lost in the commotion. But GameSetWatch was listening and last week they posted a recap of Eden’s GDC session.

Aside from the impressive numbers he gave on PSN – 2.8 million users, with 100,000 signing up every week since Christmas; 46 million total downloads; 50% of PS3 owners going online – he also provided a list of the top-selling downloadable games for both the US and UK. While fl0w topped the list in the US, it dropped to third in the UK. Mortal Kombat 2 was the more popular fighter in the US, while Tekken 5 takes that award in the UK.  The full lists, starting with the best selling:

In the US: Fl0w, Mortal Kombat 2, Tekken 5, Pain, Warhawk, Bowling, Super Stardust, Calling All Cars, Aquatopia, and Everyday Shooter

In the UK: Tekken 5, Warhawk, Fl0w, Loco Roco, Mortal Kombat 2, Super Rubadub, Calling All Cars, Gripshift, Lemmings, and Super Stardust

Eden also talked about how Sony doesn’t recommend prices on content and allows companies to set their own prices on DLC. There’s also no schedule as to when content can be released; as soon as it’s ready to go, you can expect to see it on the Store the following Thursday.

With so few restrictions compared with the Xbox Live Arcade, you can certainly understand why a developer would opt to publish their games on PSN versus XBLA. As the install base of the PS3 grows larger and PSN becomes an even more enticing platform, we’ll hopefully see Microsoft loosen up some of its restrictions and let the developers and publishers be the ones who are in control of their content.

Sometimes, I find some really interesting lots for sale on eBay. Doing a little searching today, I came across a lot of 400 video games for $3,199.99 + Shipping (US $250, Canada $400). That works out to about $8.62 per game if you have it shipped to the United States. Keep in mind that a majority of the games are for the PS2 and original Xbox. I’m not sure what a collection like this would cost you at a store like GameStop for example, but I think the price would actually be pretty close. I wouldn’t classify this as a great deal, but it would be sweet to have all these games in your collection. If the price were closer to say $2,000 for all 400, I’d consider buying it myself.

Brace yourselves, Tekken fans, odds are your beloved franchise is about to be sullied. Dwight Little, known his directing “talents” on such cinematic masterpieces as the sequels to Anaconda and Free Willy, Murder at 1600, and Marked for Death, has been tapped to direct the upcoming Tekken film. Production is slated to begin on February 4th, based on a screenplay from Alan McElroy, whose past works include Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, The Marine, and Spawn. I sense movie brilliance, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since Street Fighter: The Movie.
