Also, a reminder on what the online update brings in terms of new features

Scrolling through some of the new stuff that came out this weekend I came across 20 screenshots of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, an online PS3 version of the PS2 fighting game. Basically, it's the same thing but with online mode too and of course crisper visuals. Much crisper visuals. However, Tekken 6 better look sharper than this, otherwise people will start thinking that the PS3's huge processing power was bull. I selected 6 screens of the game in action. Scroll to the bottom of the article to check them out.

When it was originally announced, an official report said that updates to the new Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online will include Opti Match, Quick Match, Custom Match and Friend Match, making it easy to find opponents to fight with anywhere, anytime. Players will also have the opportunity to study their opponents by viewing battles in the lobby while waiting for their turn to conquer and trash talk each other via voice chat. The online update also includes two new single player modes, including Practice mode, where players can hone their fighting skills before battling online, and Survival mode, where players must use their superior Tekken skills to defeat as many opponents as possible, one after the other, in a fight to the finish.

Dark Resurrection Online will also have players showing off their skills with the Online News Ticker that will post the weekly, monthly and overall rank leaders at any given point. Players will fight their way to the deadly Dark Lord to prove that they are worthy of battling it out in the online Tekken ranking.

Everything mentioned above is old news as you can imagine, but I mentioned some of the game's new features just to make sure everyone's on the same level here. The online update for Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection will be made available later this year for just $9.99.
