Tekken 5: DR gets modes, rumble support in new update
The most notable addition to Tekken 5: DR is the Pickup Match Mode that let's players continuously fight new opponents without having to switch back to the matching room. This change will probably make the experience feel more arcade-like as there's a quicker transition from match to match. You can also change your match search settings after the brawl, just in case you want to face another type of opponent. Other tweaks call on the ability to create/display names for rooms, an added flag option for rooms which toggles certain search/fight conditions, an adjustment to the point allotment system, and match results are now unrecorded when Rank Match is set to off.
After reading all that, we bet you can't wait to fire up your PS3 and grab that update. Hold on just a sec there, you might want to sit down for this: this update is currently only for the Japanese version. Yep. We feel your anger; however, we're positive this baby will be coming our way soon. Namco probably just needs to test the waters and make sure everything is all hunky-dory before unleashing this killer patch upon the rest of the world.

I wonder how many people have this version of it. I bought T5:DR before it got the online connectivity. I don't like buying things twice.

Can anyone clue me in on how the lag is for Tekken DR? I most likely won't purchase it, but I'm planning on getting Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur IV, so I'm curious as to how well the PSN performs with Namco's netcode.

Ahh, pickup matches, finally! There was nothing worse than going into a room and waiting 15 minutes for your turn to come up, playing once for 5 minutes, and waiting another 15 minutes... screw that. Hopefully they patch the online so it doesn't screw up so often. Seriously, the online experience was pretty buggy.

Does anyone know when Tekken 6 is going to land on the PS3? Am quite tempted to get this once the patch comes out, but don't want to find myself buying T6 just a month later

T6 won't be out at least until the end of the year and more probably for 09. I have been on the fence on TDR also because I love tekken but the reviews have been so so
