Namco Bandai has released further details about the free downloadable update, coming November 26th, designed to improve the online game experience for players of Tekken 6 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The update is separate from the online co-op Scenario Campaign mode download which is scheduled for release separately this winter.
Online gameplay enhancements in the update include the following:
- Improved input response: improvement of the game's responsiveness to button / command inputs
- Selectable search priorities for ranked matches: players will be able to set search priorities for opponents in ranked matches based on comparable rank or connection quality as well as location
- Optimized data transmission between fighters and spectators: fight data will be optimized in order to reduce the bandwidth load on the host’s console
- Signal strength bars: the signal strength bar will reflect connection quality more accurately
- Chance to cancel match: players will be able to cancel the match before it begins once the opponent's signal strength has been displayed on ranked matches.
