Tekken 4 arcade series#

Most of the gameplay modes in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament return, except for Tekken Bowl. The game is also the first to introduce voice acting outside grunts. For example, characters' hair flows as they move, rather than staying in one place. The switch to better engine allows for more realism and physics. Last but not least, the graphics have been completely overhauled. A side effect of so much focus on environment is that the game feels slower-paced compared to Tekken 3.

The game is also the only one in the series to have uneven stages, with some stages having different elevation in its plane, and is also the only one that allows the characters to move before the match properly begins. Doing away with infinite stages, none of the stages in this game are boundless, with specific walls and boundaries that allow for juggling to be performed by cornering opponents into the wall. The installment introduced many gameplay changes to the series. Of course, they aren't the only ones striving for the greatest prize of all - and Heihachi won't go down without one hell of a fight. Both Kazuya and Jin recognise this for what it is, a deliberate facade to draw them both out - but they enter regardless, believing their chance for revenge has finally come. Kazuya Mishima is alive and well, and makes quick work of the Tekken Force's men before giving a message to his father that he'll claim his revenge, and take back what's his.Īnd so, Heihachi announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, with the Zaibatsu itself as the grand prize for whoever can best him in combat. Heihachi opts to send in the Tekken Force to raid G Corp's labs and recover his son's cadaver, believing the Devil Gene can be sourced from there, only for the troops to get more than they bargained for. Jin won't be necessary, however - as a tip-off comes to Heihachi's attention that G Corporation, a biogenetics Mega-Corp of similar size to the Mishima Zaibatsu, has recovered the deceased body of Kazuya Mishima, who Heihachi seemingly killed over twenty years prior. In the two years since then, Jin has gone on the run to Australia, unlearning Heihachi's teachings and casting aside any association to the Mishima bloodline, despising Heihachi for stabbing him in the back. This too was a failure, however, as Heihachi lacked the powers of the Devil Gene - which Jin Kazama, his grandson and the previous tournament's winner, is now confirmed to possess. After his plans to capture Ogre failed, Heihachi attempted to create the ultimate life form by combining a sample of its DNA with his own.
