Everything you need to know about Tekken 3
At the time of Tekken 3's release, Namco had already shown that it wanted to be a major player in the fighting game genre with its first two entries, and not just one series, as demonstrated by Soul Blade. Sega's Virtua Fighter, Namco's biggest rival, released its third game in arcades the same year as Tekken 3. Both games were highly acclaimed at the time, especially for their depth of gameplay and unprecedented graphics. Although both appear to be beyond the capabilities of 32-bit hardware for the general public, both were announced for their respective consoles, the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation.
However, Virtua Fighter 3 was infamously pushed to the Dreamcast instead, which was one of the final nails in the coffin for Western audiences' perception of the Saturn at the time. Namco, however, refused to back down and wait for the next PlayStation to arrive and ported the game to the fifth generation. It is important to keep this background in mind, because at the time of this game's release, many people thought that a good version of this game would be impossible to achieve for PlayStation. Despite people's doubts, the game became one of the biggest critical and commercial successes of the 1990s. With all that in mind, let's see what made this game the king of tournament fighters...
Tekken 3 gameplay
The gameplay of a fighting game can often seem shallow, just walk up to Mr. Meanie Man, absentmindedly tap a few buttons, and go on your merry way. Fortunately, Tekken 3 can be a very strategic game when you want it to be, not only are you constantly in a state of attack, but you have to try to anticipate your opponents' moves and block or counterattack accordingly. Tekken 3 is a game that, when mastered, has unlimited power under your control, the sheer number of moves at your disposal means there's room for varied, planned attack, rather than psychotic button mashing.
The first thing you have to do is get a character that suits your needs, each one has a different fighting style and different characteristics. By opting for a character that is faster or one that is stronger, you will need to play to their strengths, this is what makes it one of the most tactical fighting games out there. Each character has a large number of moves they can call their own, these lists can be displayed in the middle of a game in case you're stuck for originality. The most powerful moves can have quite complicated buttons assigned to them, and only the experienced and skilled can have any hope of pulling them off successfully in the middle of a heated battle. There are moves that attack high, moves that attack low, moves that attack fast, and moves that attack slow!
Tekken 3 has a plethora of modes to suit everyone's primal urges to kill their opponents in different scenarios. There's the tournament, where you fight through ten opponents and a few bosses to be the champion, a Tekken force mode where you take your character on a side-scrolling adventure through four levels, gaining life and taking out countless bad guys. (for more game modes, please see the next sentence). Tekken ball mode is where you face your opponent in a game of volleyball, hitting the ball and hoping for the best, there are also modes like survival (defeat many people until you yourself are defeated) and team battle (explained itself). ). Each of these modes is quite fun and they all add to your Tekken 3 CD spending a lot of time on your console.
The basic controls of the game are simple, each of the four action buttons dictates a limb of your character and the control pad maneuvers them around the playing field. However, delve deeper into the psyche of Tekken 3 and you'll discover many extremely advanced moves that can make your character agile and quite unwieldy. I don't know why I told you this, it just seemed like a nice thing to do!
Overall, Tekken 3's gameplay is some of the best you'll see in a fighting game. You can play against the computer and win easily by pressing a button here or there, but it becomes more fun than ever once you spend a little time practicing and develop your skills significantly. A match between Tekken masters can be truly impressive, watching them develop attack strategies while trying to evade their opponent. It is a deep and immersive gameplay that will make you have a very entertaining time.
Graphics
Fluency is a very nice word, not only is it fun to say and hear, but it can also be used to describe Tekken 3's graphics! The graphics are very pretty and could be compared to a gourmet feast (except for the eyes instead of the mouth). The backgrounds look like they have had a lot of work put into them, showing a lot of detail and a good amount of realism. You're taken to scenes like a laboratory where there are all sorts of chemicals simmering happily, a bamboo forest where there's a lot of bamboo (another unlikely occurrence right there), or simple outdoor scenes that can resemble real places. The colors have been used wisely, they won't distract you too much but still manage to look stunning. As the fight moves around the playing area, the background shifts with it accordingly, making it seem as if the landscape goes on forever even though it's not too expansive. Finally, the backgrounds are beautiful, very beautiful!
The characters have been modeled superbly, there are a few rough edges here and there, but for the most part they look pretty good. Trivial details such as faces, hands and feet have been handled smoothly and don't look too awkward. The characters are quite imposing figures, and there is a varied cast of them, to say the least. People from all kinds of countries with different hairstyles, clothing options and fighting techniques have been included here. It makes the whole visual look more appealing by having the contrasting looks of the different combatants. The motion capture of each of the movements is impressive, there is nothing too outrageous and they look just as one would expect them too, if someone showed them in their everyday life. Everything about the characters was done smoothly, without too many technical issues, and they look great! TOPS!
When you finish the tournament with each cast member, you will enjoy a sumptuous FMV. The standards of them have been eclipsed slightly now, but they still look great. The movie player they've introduced to the game is a godsend, so you won't have to fight through some tough matches just to watch a minute or less of video.
Overall, the graphics are simply great and I doubt anyone will get tired of looking at the screen when playing Tekken 3. The improvements over the #2 are immeasurable; The beauty of the game has increased significantly between outings. Despite being a slightly older game now, the visuals can still hold their own against most games in the Playstation library.
Music and Sound
The sound has been done very well, without dropping the ball that has been inflated so well by the images. Background music is a reasonably important section of a fighting game, some have been completely disappointed by the low standards in this section (don't ask me to name any, I'm just assuming ;). However, the tunes you'll hear in Tekken 3 are nothing short of glorious. They have lovely beats, and are just the kind of thing you'll want to hear when you're beating up your opponent. There are a couple of tracks that are lower level, but when there's a lot of music to be made, you can assume there will be a couple of disappointments. Most of these tracks are fun to listen to, have a lot of variety and avoid irritating the listener too much.
There is an obscenely large collection of sound effects in Tekken 3, the amount of punch sounds or other impact sounds is off the charts. Throw a combination of punches, and not only will they sound realistic, but you'll also be able to hear a different sound with each one if you're lucky. Each of the characters has their own little voice actor who has winced in pain, cried in pain, and done all sorts of wacky things (while in pain, of course, you can't be nice to those voice or voice people). They will walk everywhere). You). The result is a convincing sound scheme, with every THWACK accompanied by an OUCH that you can't go wrong. They are a professional unit at Namco and have professional sound effects.
In general, the sound accompanies the graphics very well and doesn't sound bad when you have your eyes closed either. The music and effects work together very well to create atmosphere, tension and anything else you could ask for (unless you ask for something stupid, you little joker!). They complete a very stylish looking/sounding appearance for Tekken 3; It's not a game that you're going to turn down the volume in a pinch.
Final reflection
All of Tekken 2's additional modes have been carried over to this game, and even the practice mode has been greatly expanded, making the process of finding new moves and creating new combos more accessible. Every time I come back to this game, I always find a couple of new moves...
In addition to that, however, I need to go over the two new modes I briefly mentioned earlier. Tekken Force is available from the start and is a side-scrolling beat-em-up where you fight waves of enemies with the character of your choice. This sounds like a great idea... but this is the other thing I really don't like about this game. Every enemy you fight has the exact same move set, and there are no unique environmental hazards, weapons to pick up, or things to interact with. On top of this, these controls clearly weren't made for hallways, and enemies like to launch attacks from off-screen. This feature was touted as one of the great additions to the source port, but you're better off playing classics from previous generations.
The other new mode in Tekken 3 is Tekken Ball, which is a secret mode that was ridiculed by the developers. Despite this, it still managed to be a great addition! You and your opponent are on opposite sides of a volleyball court and cannot hurt each other directly. Instead, you must hit a ball to build up its energy so that it lands on the opponent's side of the court or gains enough energy to nail your opponent with an unblockable attack. The AI doesn't know how to play well, but if you have a friend, this offers a creative alternative to hitting each other.
Lastly, there are quite a few secret characters and outfits to unlock. There are a couple of console exclusive characters that are really quirky. Gon is a fairly well-known guest, playing as a smaller version of Tekken 2's Alex with a pathetic farting, fire-breathing range, but the real star here is Dr. Boskonovitch. He may be an old man who constantly falls over and can't even stand up properly most of the time, but if you take the time to learn how it works, he has some of the most powerful moves in the game, and if you can beat your friends constantly with it, you are really a master of this game! However, it doesn't seem to be that well known. Probably because he is by far the most difficult character to unlock...
