Looks like the fighting game is "Tekken Revolution", as shown here:

this game is revealed by a trailer+ available in june 11.. while the source says unannounced so i don't think this is the game.

Ok. It looks nice and it's F2P.

If it's like Ridge Racer Driftopia then it's sort of "Freemium".

This might be it because the game's been revealed recently and not many are aware of it, but since this is a Free to Play it could or not be the one.

I really doubt Tekken 7 will get announced. Tekken games usually have a distance of at least 2-3 years between each game. Tekken Tag 2 only came to consoles last year so I doubt they'll be in too much of a hurry to bring out 7.

Tag 2 was a spin off game, Tekken 6 was the last main game in the series which came out a few years back. Since next year is the 20th anniversary of the series, I think we could see Tekken 7. I'm guessing that it's Smash Bros since Namco Bandai are working on the game. I also guess it could be a Soul Calibur game on the Vita and 3DS.

8] Power Rangers: Super Samurai 2

That won't happen. If they do a Power Rangers game on the consoles then it will likely be based on Mega Force or Super Mega Force which comes out next year.

Tag 2 wasn't actually a spinoff but was just non-canon to the story and was still treated with just as much attention by Namco and is just as much a part of the series as the other games. These days a Tekken game takes years to develop so that it is perfectly balanced and free of game-breaking problems. Neither Tag 2 or T6 hit consoles until long after their arcade release. T6 was around 2-3 years and Tag 2 was a year and a half. You may have a point about next year being the 20th Anniversary but that still doesn't really leave enough time to develop Tekken 7 while the team is also working of TK X SF. I think the best we could hope for is an arcade release next year with a console release in late 2015. Look at the gaps between console releases of the more recent Tekken games:

Tekken 4: 2002
Tekken 5: 2005
Tekken 6: 2009
Tag 2: 2012

Going by that I'd say we won't have Tekken 7 on consoles until at least 2015. Plus there's the question of what direction to take the series in next. I have no doubt Tekken 7 will be next-gen. The thing is that if they remove the Tag system now after having it in Tag 2 it could be seen as a step back like when T4 came out after Tag 1. Going back to the basic 1v1 system again without some serious innovation wouldn't be well received. I think they'll take their time and do their best to put out something great.

And hopefully by 2015 the Online Pass system will no longer exist. EA has commenced to discontinue, but the other game companies who're using it don't seem to be getting rid off it, that's Namco Bandai, UbiSoft, Sony, Codemasters and others.

I also remember them saying something about an exclusive Tekken game for Wii U. So, yeah, there's that.

This?

TTT2 Wii U Edition has been Nintendo-fied and in a way it's an exclusive. Could this be it?

No, I think it was a completely different title all together. But this was at E3 in 2011, so you're probably right and I may be mistaken. Come to think of it, it's likely not feasible at this point for NB to have an exclusive Tekken game for a home console anyway.

EA got rid of it because MS pretty much built it into their system. They figure that if MS is successful enough with XboxOne, Nintendo and Sony will follow soon after.

Since when does Namco Bandai make you use an online pass? Tekken 6 doesn't need one and honestly nothing recently comes to mind.

But remember, Tekken 6 came out in 2009 and Online Pass is more of a recent thing.

Thankfully there's only been about two games that I've found out: Race Driver GRID 2, Tekken Tag Tournament 2. There's probably more but this is all I found.

The less with Online Pass the better.

Mortal Kombat 2011 also required an online pass.

[Hellspawn28]

Has any anime video have a online pass? I will doubt we will see for a DBZ game.

[hulkty]

Seen E3. No DBZ. No Kingdom Hearts. Disappointed.

It's not even close to over. Websites are only covering the press conference and at the moment only Microsoft and EA have finished. Ubisoft is in the middle of theres right now as I'm typing this and Sony will follow soon after. I doubt Sony will talk about this game at all. However, in the upcoming days many sites are going to be going over the stuff showcased on the show floor. Still though, I don't think anything will pop up. Namco-Bandai hasn't hinted at anything and it's definitely not something worth a surprise...outside of here at least.

how?it starts june 11-13

There's still time as Sparky said, but I do expect Dragon Ball to be revealed at the Japan Expo instead of the "less Japanese" E3.
As for Kingdom Hearts, we already have the 1.5 HD Remix coming in September, that's huge! Finally being able to have the Japan-exclusive "Final Mix" is something everyone had given up all hope for (plus exclusive update such as the Kingdom Hearts 2 Reaction Command to interact with people/items and updated 3D models from the latest games)!
And the "Final Mix" for Kingdom Hearts 2 that we'll have with the 2.5 HD Remix will be even greater!

[miguelnuva1]

Today and Tomorrow are the big 3 and EA and Ubisoft, after Nintendo goes then the smaller companies reveal what they have.

[Hellspawn28]

I think the last DBZ game that got shown at E3 was the third Sparking game. We haven't seen a DBZ game at E3 in six years and I doubt we are going to a new game.

Exactly. And I wouldn't hold my breath for any kind of info on KH3 until they at least have a solid release date for Versus XIII.


EDIT: Allow me to graciously, and happily eat my words.

[hulkty]

Thank GOD for confirming KH3! Gameplay graphics are better than cutscene PS2 graphics LOL
...but still...........no new DBZ game...
