Tekken Tag Tournament Intro (Remastered in 4K using AI Machine Learning)

[@omaisgee123]

Also the contrast between all the characters and their motives is really sick, from Bryan airing out the floor with the mp5 to Nina applying make up and grabbing her jacket. Stylish and classy. This intro really made me fall in love with the franchise as a kid.

Kazuya had that solid, 2000s business man swag. This entire intro has so much swag to it. The beat drop at 0:41 when Bryan's just airing the room out with the MP5 is TOUGH.

[@avruvimtu2204]

I always love the water effects in the end of the FMV and with that upscaler it looks so smooth. That water effect still holds up today!

I actually think that "water" is Unknowns purple sludge

[@jkblohm9899]

I hate this phrase, but Tag’s intro theme *fucking slaps*

[@valentinr4752]

I miss that old tekken vibe. The characters were more realistic, the urban environment makes them feel like real street fighters. It was more mature, classy and badass. I love Tekken 7 as a game but I think the style is a lil a bit "too much" : Claudio, Lars, Alisa... being the embodiement of the new direction of Tekken

[@welsh_steel2285]

Yep, since Tekken 6 it's about making shit as crazy as possible to lure people in, Tekken used to a TRUE classic. I wish they brought that old school passion again and be ready for Tekken 8 on PS5's release, Tekken and Playstation used to be all you needed to be put in a gaming vibe.

[@Lukmendes]

@@welsh_steel2285 DR wasn't even that crazy, in either gameplay or character designs.

[@alzingafagan7501]

I agree. But, my personal choice here, Alisa can stay because she has more character built in from one of the Tekken Animated films. Outside of that, they can keep a few things from this and go back to basic with a Tekken Tag remaster or sequel for their next installment

[@alzingafagan7501]

@Tcb bct well that sucks balls, now she's unnecessary to the whole thing. Still like her though, again, my opinion

[@1gta4gta]

Tekken 7 is the worst Tekken but still better than 1

[@atlante4368]

I loved this urban setting. They intensified it in Tekken 4, but it was never seen again 😔

Imagine going from ps1 graphics to this...that opening music was perfect introduction to the ps2 era...my mind was blown when I played this...and then final fantasy 10 blew my mind again. Ps2 era was definitely special and the last era of WOW factor ended in the ps3-xbox 360 HD generation.

[@Luke973T]

I remember people saying that this game didn't look that much better than tekken 3. They had to get used to it then go back to 3 to really appreciate the jump

[@doubleespresso5057]

It throws me right back to my childhood. The music and the video - it brings back so many memories. Just the sound of the vocal snippet at 0:41 and the fast drums afterwards ... it's the typical sound of this game. I'm glad I took these memories with me.

This and 3 was peak Tekken. Gameplay wise it's probably peak now, but in terms of style, character designs, vibe, this was it right here. There was a sense of class, seriousness and realism that Bamco never captured after T4. The characters in this trailer look like REAL people with their own lives. A PS2 masterpiece indeed.

[@swagvegito2592]

Same i thought jun was his love interest but that was until i saw the names are similar with the letter "J' so then i was finalized and thought that Jun was Jin's sister. I always knew or thought kazuya was Jin's father because they look alike because of the hair.

This was me and my brother's humble beginning into the franchise of tekken and was a big part of growing up since we at first had a snes, gbc, gba, and then moved onto a ps2. Those were good times especially when we would bring our ps2 over to our grandparent's house and have tekken tournaments with our uncles and our cousin. I plan on continuing that tradition when I get a monitor for my ps5, I just have to wait a little longer until wirk picks up again.

This became one of my best memories from those days as I lived with my dad, but my school was near to my childhood home (which I currently reside) so I had to wait around here until he came for me all the way into the evening.

I bought PS2 from my first sallary and ran to shop for TTT. I was absolutely stunned by this game a next-gen console. Great times.

[@itsalmost2am525]

This... This is the very first video game that I have played when I was a kid. I am not an avid gamer back then but I can still remember things so clearly. My parents drove to the nearest city for 2 hours and went back home with a yellow gift box. It was a PS2, my first video game console. I was 7-years-old back then and I never even asked for a gaming console, but my parents thought I deserved one. They even brought at least 7-8 different disks. My dad did a brilliant choice by popping in Tekken Tag Tournament as my very first video game to play, and I had way too much fun playing TTT1, to the point that I somehow managed to strain my right arm by button mashing too hard😅 I'd also liked to mention that as much as I love this intro, the scene in 1:13 scared me as a kid. This scene alone is the reason why I'd sometimes skip the intro even though I love the graphics and sound. Coming back to this video after learning about the lore and the upcoming Tekken 8, I felt so nostalgic yet happy to know that the legacy of Tekken goes on. In other words, Tekken really had a special place in my heart..
