Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection gets PS3 update; still no word on Tekken 6

Namco Bandai flexed its Tekken 5 mojo on Thursday, extending the available online modes of Dark Resurrection...yet the company's Tekken 6 plans remain in limbo.

New online enhancements by way of a downloadable update include continuous one-on-one matches, DualShock 3 rumble support, room name display, auto selection of opponents with optimal connection speeds, player notifications, and multiple bug fixes.

Ardent fans hoping for Tekken 6 news will have to wait, however, as Namco has yet to unveil its future plans for the franchise. Tekken 6 is currently live in select Japanese arcades, but there's been no word on when the game will come to home consoles. Namco Bandai yesterday announced its full 2008 lineup without a mention of Tekken 6. Because the arcade version of Tekken 6 is built around a modified PS3, it's assumed the game will be a PS3 exclusive. But the question remains: when?

The PS3 version of Dark Resurrection was released in March 2007, followed by an August 2007 update which allowed for online multiplayer replete with leaderboards. Both games can be purchased as a bundle from the PlayStation store for $29.99.

I haven't played a Tekken game since Tekken Tag on PS2. Are the games still as good as part 3? To me that game is still one of the best fighters ever created.

Do people still like Tekken/Virtua Fighter type games? VF5 was awesome but it doesn't seem like these games do that well outside of Japan.
