Tekken 3 PS1 vs. Arcade

[Stinger2578]

The arcade is more defined and contains more polygons. One example would be the building columns which are more rounded 3D objects spaced apart in the arcade but are kind-of flattened/smashed together on PS1. If you pause it each time where the sky/clounds are visible you can see how the PS1 image is more blurred/pixelated. As others said, Namco did a great job putting a game that ran on hardware with more power onto limited specs while keeping a solid/smooth framerate.

[DoMiNeLa10]

It's so awesome 'cuz arcade was based on psx hardware

[DoMiNeLa10]

Better textures on arcade

[DoMiNeLa10]

Affine texturing on both?

[FATALITY07RUS]

Arcade version is more colourful + 3D background. That's all the difference

[jtc1999]

its a perfect comparison at 1:01 or 1:02

[Lifemouse]

It appears that the characters have a barely noticeable polycount increase for the PS1 version, though I may be wrong

[NK0d3R]

The Arcade version had full 3D backgrounds, while the PS1 had only a 3D floor and a skybox (basically a 2D image mapped on a cube or a low-poly sphere)

[was1231000]

i dun really get the differnce

[townnet]

@was1231000 Watch carefully arcade version building are separate with moutain and cloud,that mean it got two layer. PS1 version they all stick together ,only 1 layer.

[ShakaiProductions2]

there is no word to describe how beast and vicious tekken 3 yoshimitsu is no newer yoshimitsu can replace that aswell as classic soul calibur's yoshimitsu just a complete master piece <3

[maxryu100]

i have this 2 games. and in the arcade version the escenaries are more details

[JHarmon10]

The PS1 version had a better soundtrack

[ovafiend]

lei wulong/ forest law bit gets me so hyped for this game i may play it now actually

[joalle123456789]

The arcade version is more color full and has more details..

[WebVMan]

Most epically awesome game ever made!

[Melku44]

Dang i feel sorry for lei

[HinataChan30]

I'd like to see Namco remake this intro with models from Tekken 6.

...

Just saying.

[Tekirai]

omg!! i remember doing the fighting moves in the movie theater when they had the game......the movie ppl there got a kick out of it >,>

[fireflamin1]

DAMN ITS WEIRD THAT I STILL REMEMBER THIS WHEN I WAS A KID

[darockk]

Well im glad namco didnt try to put 3d backgrounds in and compromise on the awesome character models and movements.

3d or not, this game is was simply stunning for a home port.

[themrmustazz]

PS1 games include textures in the files for backgrounds. Arcade can't programm textures so it is forced to make 3D. Easy

[Luffymon88]

what's this theme called?

[Luffymon88]

what's this song called?

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

Arcade version is sharper, but biggest difference is the fact that arcade has 3D background whereas PS1 is 2D.

[mcgstudmuffin]

the part where it zooms in on eddy at 0:56 used to genuinely scare me when i was like 10 years old. i would run out of the arcade crying lawl

[RockfoxPKC]

The ps1 version has smoother polygons but a more bleached colour. The arcade version has jaggies in the polygons but the colour is more lucid.

[RockfoxPKC]

@RockfoxPKC I also realized the background on ps1 are 2 dimesional while on arcade 3 dimesional...

[Hijinx1982]

Yes the Arcade has smoother Graphics. But then again your comparing a PS1 to an Arcade machine. Any who this is one of the best Fighting games ever

[emperror333]

i cant say whos look is worst

[ROTFxQuester]

tekken 3 is ps1 version is my polygon-like than the arcade version which is smoother

[Carbon657]

Playstation one version background is a flat image, arcade version background has 3d objects

[DejaVoodooDoll]

The frame rate, backgrounds and color depth have already been called out, but nobody's mentioned the finger tips. They're simple french fries on the arcade, which isn't bad at all for the time really, and twisted paper claws on the PSX version - even with the best programmers in the world, rendering only two realistic characters and a 2d background at 30 frames per second was almost beyond it's capabilities. It's completely mindblowing that games like Metal Gear Solid and R4 can exist on it.

[Trane14PL]

Arcade have a more powerfull colors.

[lightdark28]

Tekken 3 was an overall good conversion , the only major difference was the 2D backgrounds, but that was normal at the time, games like Virtua Fighter 2, Dead Or Alive , Last Bronx and others all swapped the arcade 3D backgrounds for 2D ones.

the PS1/Saturn could have replicated the 3D backgrounds, but the frame rate would have probably been very low , making the games unplayable

[XManXHunterX]

0:58 ouch nothing that make a blood cloud is good

[dojOdRiFTeR]

fuck man was tekken 3 amazing man tekken 3 gran turismo 1, gran turismo 2, metal gear solid, spyro 1 , spyro 2, spyro 3, and crash bandisoot were the best ps1 games period, einhander ads well ff7

[MrRhysReviews]

@dojOdRiFTeR Yep, Crash 1-2, Spyro 1-3, TEKKEN 1-3, All these great Franchises started and evolved with the PS1 and it was an amazing generation, In fact iv JUST been playing PS1 Crash and Tekken Games a few Hours ago on my PS3. :)

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@MrRhysReviews i sya the ps1 was the best era

[MrRhysReviews]

@dojOdRiFTeR Yep, Crash 1-2, Spyro 1-3, TEKKEN 1-3, All these great Franchises started and evolved with the PS1 and it was an amazing generation, In fact iv JUST been playing PS1 Crash and Tekken Games a few Hours ago on my PS3. :)........... BTW guys Here is that SONG plus the WHOLE Arcade Version Soundtrack (Can't put LINKS so just PM me if ya want it)

[8Flex8]

Play it on a PS1 emulator and crank the settings up. Not that Tekken 3 needs to compensate for anything, it's a frigging awesome game. :D

[Musicmaniaification]

THIS...SONG...IS.....AWESOME

[JoshuaGalea16]

@Musicmaniaification i agree!

[Jay0929]

arcade has 3d backgrounds and sharper visuals

[XPrincexOfxPersiaX]

anybody know the song of this video ??

[SLOarang]

@XPrincexOfxPersiaX

try with Tekken 3 embu

[XPrincexOfxPersiaX]

@SLOarang thanks ^^ now i listen it every time by tekken 5 :P

[boobidee]

Its epic seeing the characters jump screen to screen.

[IrishRetroGamer]

GOOD MORNING.

BTW, Hwoarang's demo was based off a real person.

The difference between PS1 and arcade is that Arcade had 3D backgrounds, and PS1 had 2D backgrounds.

[ForgottenMemoriesSou]

Good morning! *deep announcer voice*

[DJDementEatsBabies]

An excellent port for PS1 - hardly noticable in most respects - The arcade runs in 60mhz so euro 50mhz PS1 owners will notice the arcade runs it smoother and quicker.. PS2 Tekken 5 demonstrates this all very well..

[XxFOXHOUND7xX]

psx-the fighters look better

arcade-better backround

[suavelyphe]

@XxFOXHOUND7xX

no the figters looks better on Arcade look and Jin's face and the look at the lightning

pause at 1:03

[ZeroShift5000]

The biggest noticeable difference is the flat backgrounds of the PSone

[xan1242]

@ZeroShift5000 PS1 is weaker than Namco System 12.But PS1 should be capable of 3d backgrounds,but framerate would drop.

[ZeroShift5000]

@xan1242 it wasn't that important the core gameplay and and look of the game remained intact, Eventually I got my arcade perfect version with the release of tekken 5 on PS2

[Abcgentry]

the music for the characters in the arcade version is so much better

[lucirz]

how can i play the tekken 3 arcade version? those 3d backgrounds looks sick

[lucirz]

@lucirz wihtout going to the arcarde and spenidng money that is. are there any emulators out there to play tekken 3 arcade?

[DJDementEatsBabies]

@lucirz the far the best and easiest way would be to get Tekken 5 on PS2 - It includes the arcade versions of Tekken 1, 2 and 3 :) COOL

[DJDementEatsBabies]

@lucirz Emulators are ropey in most respects for Tekken, one day MAME will have them running right, but i'm afraid we are gonna have to make do with PS2 hardware to run it cheaply..

[Jiemusu89]

Honestly, I barely noticed this "downgraded quality", I imagine most other fans didn't either, so it's hardly a flaw to dwell on. I agree the port was very nice.

[DJDementEatsBabies]

@Jiemusu89 Tekken was an excellent port for PS1 - it included all the extra tekken ball mode etc ..love that game.

[Majki182]

Namco did a really great job porting Tekken 3 to Playstation. Just a curiosity - have you ever seen it runnin' without the Gouraud shading? It really DOES wonders in terms of the characters look. That's why Tekken 2 looked so blocky compared to Tekken 1. The former used flat shading.

Regards.:)

[hey45671]

The only thing is the background and color.

[OutcastT2]

@hey45671 Texture quality for the PS1 is slightly lower as its processor handles a different color mode than processors in arcade machines.

[Adamski1998]

What is "Arcade"???????

[EminemFan202]

Tekken 3 was great on the arcade and PS1, my opinion it was the best in the whole series, but I'm still psyched to play Tekken 6

[BagpipeHustler]

tekken 3 is the SHIT.

[masatoshi987]

look at the size of the arcade game they are freakin huge but i hat how smaller systems have better graphics

[FrosChannel]

PlayStation still ran the game well though, and always had the better remixed versions of songs. Arcade version looks great though with 3D backgrounds and better textures.

[KUSkaraokemeester]

lol @ end push P1 and / coin!

[kellykelly603zz]

@KUSkaraokemeester Actually on the PlayStation side it says, "Push P1 and/ or P2 Start Button," while on the arcade side it says, "insert coin."

[tkeely4777]

The models (for the most part) still look incredible on the PS-X side; this game was truly a programming feat, considering the complexity of Tekken 3 (for the time) and the simplicity of the Playstation hardware.

If you ask me, the replacement of 3D backgrounds with static ones is a small price to pay for a near-perfect port, in terms of gameplay and character models.

[VirtuaFighter5R]

good comparission vid, but t3 looks better on dreamcast (bleemcast) i looks even better than the original arcade one. but imo virtua fighter 2 looks way better than t3... fanboys r welcome 2 hate me but google some screenshots first and u will see... ; )

[EminemFan202]

I never liked VirtuaFighter, I don't know I just always liked Tekken better.

[EtsumiHikawa1111]

not that good but it is cool game

[ElricSowrd]

I noticed when I found an Arcade Tekken 3 in a mall theater, I noticed there was something different in the arcade version comparing the PS1 version.

I wish for a PS1 Tekken 3 mod with Arcade version stages.

5 stars.

[thesourcewizard]

I wish Tekken 3 was ported to PC. Maybe they could make Tekken 3 for ePSXe with the 3d backgrounds. Paul's is the worst looking of them all. It just looks so bad with the 2d.

[ElricSowrd]

That's what I thought too.

[thesourcewizard]

What, about Paul's stage background, or about the ePSXe mod?

[issamleiwulong]

can't belive he makes a good design of it

[mixlllllll]

not

[EFSpro]

ps1 really holds up

[Funspirit18]

arcade version is a bit crisper and cleaner n brighter just a bit.

[mortin310]

the difference is that the ps1 has flat 2d backrounds, and arcade has 3d polygon backrounds

[philiptwood]

Plus the Arcade version seems to have a higher image resolution.

[dbleXdiamand]

woooooooooooooo...sum1s a lil cranky arnt they

[seansfc]

yeah nice man

[derrick1171]

Very creative.

[saturndual32]

If only the Saturn had looked as close to the Model 2 as the Playstation to Namcos System 11,we could have had a much better 32 Bit system wars.

[uouvictuorxD]

looks same because this game use a arcade board based on PS1:Namco System 12

[betamanATstage6]

You see the differences better in HQ mode.

System 12 was an improved PS1, it had twice more VRAM and higher clocked main CPU.

[ushakov7]

Do you wabt to check out my videos about Tekken 3?

[Mikej2156]

@betamanATstage6 Niot to mention Actual 3d arenas on the arcade version

[TheDaisuke0079]

@betamanATstage6

An old TTT interview, the game's technical director noted that T3 ARC had 1500 polys per character, which was reduced to 1000. Then he boasted that TTT PS2 had 8000 per character.

The PS1 resolution took a dip as well to 385x480. I don't believe in-game asset resolution was affected though.

[whatshendrix]

@uouvictuorxD

What, are you kidding? 2d background and 3d look the same to you?

[townnet]

@uouvictuorxD No, ps1 is base on system 11. Watch carefully arcade version building are separate with moutain and cloud,that mean it got two layer. PS1 version they all stick together ,only 1 layer.

[arismixtapes]

cool upload..its always fascinating to see the detail and gameplay differences between console vs arcade
