I'm sorry this took so long, but upscaling this video has always been a headache (so much noise and compression artifacts... and the resolution is so low, even for PS1 standards). This time I used alsa64's denoising model, which finally made the results look a bit more acceptable. As an extra, here's also the arcade opening FMV upscaled to 1080p: th-cam.com/video/q6LC8VUkhT8/w-d-xo.html
I was wondering how did you de-noise it thought it might be waifu2x then the other programs? Speaking of games with alot of really bad noises, I think Fear Effect is kinda bad, Even the Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge game for a ps2 and xbox game are bad, as it cutscenes are pre-rendered videos that try to match the ingame graphics. Oh how about the Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 live action cutscenes? those would be good to scale up.
I’ve never felt more represented than today with your comments, guys 🥹 I had the exact same experience when I first tried the leg extension machine at the gym only being able to think about that one scene of Tekken 3 🦵🏼🏋🏻♂️
That moment with the devil at 1:48 ,so good when you rewatch it a couple of times,when you see him spreading his wings and how the face appears,and the dynamic stylish music fading in the background..man,T3 had so much style,much better than now
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் I know right!!!! As an OG Tekken fan, I definitely remember the story from the first Tekken where it said Kazuya sold his soul not born with it. They really have changed the story frfr
This is surreal. I vividly remember playing this as a ten year old. 20+ years later, I'm re-watching this, and it's blowing my mind. Fuck, my childhood was perfect...
Every single character introduction in this intro is pure badass. Just look at how King does fitness then enters the arena, how Yoshimitsu jumps from the tree into battle pose, how Nina is reanimated, how Paul fights in a punk alley, etc. Amazing.
That cut showing the light hitting Eddy Gordo was an incredible shot. Tekken was one of the first games I’ve seen that didn’t take a derogatory approach to animating a black/Afro character. Eddy is still in my top 5 of best animated black characters of all-time.
@@Carlos-fc4xz There are Darker skin Brazilians because they of African ancestry. Eddy is an Afro Brazilian. Due to the immense slave trade; When it comes to the biggest population of African descendants, Brazil is 2nd only to Africa. Unrelated to the slave trade,but a different historical event. Brazil also has the 2nd largest population of Japanese descendants, 2nd only to Japan.
I love this whole intro video it just show cases the characters personality’s so well as well as giving us a vibe and mood for the whole game. The games soundtrack as a whole is just awesome this game is still one of my all time favourite fighting games.
After watching the remastered Tekken 2 Intro as well, it's really crazy to see such a huge difference in graphical quality between the Tekken 2 and 3 intros especially since they're in the same generation of games.
@@JBC02 yeah I was talking about that era in general. Gaming these days is incredible but I maybe it's nostalgia kicking in but I have the fondest memories of gaming on the ps1 and ps2. It all felt so much more special...
Who's the old guy at 1:41? Always wondered who that was, I just assumed it was Eddy's dad or something. Edit: I just looked it up, he's the capoeira grandmaster that taught Eddy and is Christie's grandfather. He was apparently selected to be in Tekken 4 as well but got cut. There's even an audio file of the announcer saying "Grandmaster". Would be interesting to see if there is any character data leftover for him.
Correct. Eddy Learned the Art Of Capoeira from Christie’s Grandfather during his time in prison. And Eddy made a vow that he would pass on the Art Of Capoeira to Christie and he did. And shortly after Returning from The King Of Iron Fist Tournament 3 Eddy took Christie under his wing and taught her the Art of Capoeira just like he promised.
TEKKEN 3 Intro Movie still is a masterpiece, even 26 years since its initial release on PlayStation 1 in April 26th 1998. After TEKKEN 3's release, THE REST IS HISTORY.
My awesome Childhood right there and how many times I crushed my friends with Hwoarang on this game when they have been visiting me! Good memories good times. Nice man
It would have been interesting to see more of Jin when he was living and training with his grandfather. Living that rich grandson life, going to private school, getting chauffeured around etc.
Absolutely the best opening and soundtrack. Goosebumps for the story line, esp the bit with Eddy, in less than 5 seconds it showed how he was saved in prison and who taught him his Capoeira skills.
At the moment this video has 115,389 views, im probably responsible for 115,000 of them. This intro to Tekken 3 still gets me hyped, it felt like you were apart of this “cinematic” beginning.
My Childhood is Filled with Tekken 3, I m from India, I just recalled my childhood days, back then there was a gaming shop, i used to play this game, and now i m busy is my job profile but i just feels loneliness now, Oh God i wish those days can came back to my Life again
Wow this came out really well and much better than the one that Marcelus put up where the faces go very weird in some scenes, particularly with the Laws in the restaurant.
I will always remember booting up our PlayStation 1 and seeing this intro many times. Sadly our PS1 died like 2 years ago, but I kept all the games with it. I might be 20 and own an Xbox, but I will never forget my roots
The Part When You See The Trains Riding By And People Cheering . Then Paul Standing There With His Hands In His Fist Is The Most Gangstas Shyt Ever!!!!!
Hwoarang looked like some kind of BadA**. When he was just sitting on his Motorcycle in the middle of the Road, and starts smiling at the Camera with his left Eyebrow raised. 😏😏😏😏😏😏 P.S. 1st time Breaking the Fourth Wall.
HELL YEAH! One of the best intro in the story of videogames! No quedó perfecto pero de todos modos es un trabajo admirable! Te felicito! Y la calidad de sonido quedó casi impecable! :'D
I grew up between NES and SNES, when PSone came it was a boom... then PS 2 came along and still today to me has been the best console ever made... Im so happy I grew up in the 80s... we see the tech world in an unique way.

Just wish you did 60fps like Marcus's channel.
@@SRC267 Marcelus simply exported the video at 60fps, but the FMV is actually 20fps.

Thank you for your effort
@Camilo Ramon Definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
King in the weight room is the best part
working out and walking towards the stage transitions made it hype af
Easily. And Armour King standing there with his arms folded watching.
1:16 also
Nina for me. That’s also when the track has the best part.
Yeah that is the manly part
This intro still gives me chills of awesomeness after all these years. 👌🏼
Same here, but it always has been thanks to the intro's track.
Tekken 2 does that for
this shit always scared and hyped me up, insane visuals on a small screen
@@samuelvillarreal4157Tekken 4 too as well.
The upgrade in cg quality from 2 to 3 was incredible.
Yea it's night and day crazy impressive the tekken 3 into has aged incredibly well tekken 2 on the other hand looks like a relic in comparison
Except for Ling Xiaoyu. I don’t know she kind of creeps me out.
@@ryfyyt171 for me it’s Nina. Always thought that when she comes out of the water she looks claymation.
Go back and play Tekken 1, TK2 is a massive facelift lol
@@ryfyyt171she looks like a baby for some reason
After all these years, this still gives me goosebumps
Same
💯
Same also even in April 2024.
Anyone who played Tekken 3 never skips leg day because of the scene with King.
Since when i was a kid this inspired me
Best thing I read all week. All facts-
Lol yep I remember the first time I got to use a leg extension machine at the gym, I was like holy shit it's tekken 3 time.
exactly my thoughts :D
I’ve never felt more represented than today with your comments, guys 🥹
I had the exact same experience when I first tried the leg extension machine at the gym only being able to think about that one scene of Tekken 3 🦵🏼🏋🏻♂️
Sorry, Tekken 5 intro. This one's still the coolest. I'll never forget the feeling of watching this back in '98. So hyped for this game.
you're pretty old.
@@JonJon-vg2nv Maybe you're just pretty young xD
@@iago318 i was born in 2000. i'm not that young
@@JonJon-vg2nv I was born in '87 and don't look or feel particularly old. Heck, some teenagers look older than me.
@@JonJon-vg2nv you young
That moment with the devil at 1:48 ,so good when you rewatch it a couple of times,when you see him spreading his wings and how the face appears,and the dynamic stylish music fading in the background..man,T3 had so much style,much better than now
Back when Devil was an evil spirit instead of a stupid genetic thing.
Jin there in shock...looking for his mother probably...
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் I know right!!!! As an OG Tekken fan, I definitely remember the story from the first Tekken where it said Kazuya sold his soul not born with it. They really have changed the story frfr
Tekken 3 was the pinnacle of the series. Remember when it first came out I took a day off from school🤣
Tekken 3 for me always had the best sound track. Makes me want to play every single time
"once again fate brings together those who heed the call" iconic line
YES
It should be the whole series' tagline
This is surreal. I vividly remember playing this as a ten year old. 20+ years later, I'm re-watching this, and it's blowing my mind.
Fuck, my childhood was perfect...
I Was The Same Age Man. I Can't Remember Is The Game With The Unlockable Feature: Tekken Ball??
Every single character introduction in this intro is pure badass. Just look at how King does fitness then enters the arena, how Yoshimitsu jumps from the tree into battle pose, how Nina is reanimated, how Paul fights in a punk alley, etc. Amazing.
The list of Tekken fighters is so big now that they can't make this kind of intros anymore
That cut showing the light hitting Eddy Gordo was an incredible shot. Tekken was one of the first games I’ve seen that didn’t take a derogatory approach to animating a black/Afro character. Eddy is still in my top 5 of best animated black characters of all-time.
Wasn't he Brazilian canonically?
pretty sure many Brazilians are naturally darker in skin tone.
@@Carlos-fc4xz yes he is
@@Carlos-fc4xz There's plenty of African Brazilians lol

The goosebumps I get is unreal. I’ve seen this intro for 10 years straight, and it gets better every time
Same
Man when Heihachi isnt afraid to take on Ogre. He just smiled. It gets you hype. It really felt like a fighting game.
I love this whole intro video it just show cases the characters personality’s so well as well as giving us a vibe and mood for the whole game. The games soundtrack as a whole is just awesome this game is still one of my all time favourite fighting games.
0:41 when the music comes in always gets me hyped. Holy fuck this intro is amazing!
After watching the remastered Tekken 2 Intro as well, it's really crazy to see such a huge difference in graphical quality between the Tekken 2 and 3 intros especially since they're in the same generation of games.
This was such a huge graphical step up from Tekken 2! The time before day 1 patches, loot boxes and the birth of the analogue sticks
Tekken 3 there were Playstation controllers with analogue sticks, not DualShock though
@@JBC02 yeah I was talking about that era in general. Gaming these days is incredible but I maybe it's nostalgia kicking in but I have the fondest memories of gaming on the ps1 and ps2. It all felt so much more special...
That Forest and Marshall combo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The jump in quality from 2 to 3 was so massive that seeing the 3 intro made you go, "Things just got real"
This intro is LEGENDARY!! Still such a high level of quality over 20 years later.
Goosebumps....even though it's the billionth time I'm watching this intro. Thanks for doing this in 1080p
1:37 it took me all these years to realise its Jin in the backseat of the limo.
I had no idea either...our tvs were to small in 1998...lol
God this feels so good...
What charisma guy Hwoarang ... Amazing style
1:48 Let the King Of Iron Fist Tournament 3 Begins!
Enter Tekken!
@Tcb bct I'm a big fan of both eras.
The first Tekken game I ever played and the reason why I fell in love with this saga, this intro brings me back to my childhood, awesome memories ❤
After all those years I still got chills seeing this
the quality from tekken 1 and 2 to this one is amazing
Who's the old guy at 1:41? Always wondered who that was, I just assumed it was Eddy's dad or something.

What’s he doing in prison though ?
King en la sala de pesas y con Amorking de pie , observando con los brazos cruzados. La mejor parte
Anyone else think it's crazy how much better this looked than Tekken 2? I know CGI was in its infancy, but man, this still looks good now!
I really do - Tekken 3 was my first game in the series and going back to 2 was like stepping back a generation!
This is how i remember the intro
this is hands down the best Tekken intro. No dialogues and yet you know what this game will be about it
0:37 best Heihachi design
This is beyond amazing. Thank you so much for making this. Best game of all time - so much nostalgia.
TEKKEN 3 Intro Movie still is a masterpiece, even 26 years since its initial release on PlayStation 1 in April 26th 1998. After TEKKEN 3's release, THE REST IS HISTORY.
King working out in Nike uptempos is gold
This cinematic blew my fucking mind as an 8 year old.
My awesome Childhood right there and how many times I crushed my friends with Hwoarang on this game when they have been visiting me! Good memories good times. Nice man
1:16!!! Nana i love this part!!
I like this trailer cause it makes you think there’s an actual campaign.
I love watching the Tekken 1,2 and 3 intro and being blown away by how fast the technology used to make these FMV movies improved in such a short time
1:40 Eddy's Master to the rescue!!!
OH that's who that is
@@Volky_Volk Yeah, that was him. I just recognized him
Awesome, he look' s like Alan of the Hangover films series.
This is truly amazing!!!
New graphic...new gameplay...new characters....the evolution of the series
King is a legend 🥶💯💫
This gives me goosebumps still, all those memories, and I'm still playing Tekken up to now.
It would have been interesting to see more of Jin when he was living and training with his grandfather. Living that rich grandson life, going to private school, getting chauffeured around etc.
Well
The anime happened
this isn’t no rpg
I remember playing endless rounds with Jin and Xiaoyu to unlock their school uniforms 🥰
Absolutely the best opening and soundtrack. Goosebumps for the story line, esp the bit with Eddy, in less than 5 seconds it showed how he was saved in prison and who taught him his Capoeira skills.
So good. I missed it all so much.
Shoutout to the best Yoshimitsu design.
The fucking OOOOOGGGGG
It's my favourite design Yoshimitsu design in the series.
The last design that was good.
Nina in the cryosleep is soooooo slept on....
this is the best tekken intro ever made
second is the tekken 5 intro
Well done. It brought back fund memories of many hours in the local video games arcade.
This CGI still looks amazing. This is even better directed than some of the scenes from modern tekkens.
It's a good upgrade of the Tekken CGI over the previous 2 games, but it being better than modern CGI Tekken? Nah.
@@Pokaroquai not CGI. I meant direction. It feels very cinematic but real compared to modern tekken scenes that are a lil too anime, bouncy, silly.
Agreed! It makes the Tekken universe feel real, something that the recent anime-like Tekkens lack. Tekken 4 was the last of the realism.@@DirectorHMAN
Nina being revived looked amazing then, and it does now. The music at that point was perfect too!

ONE OF THE BEST INTROS FOREVER.... NOSTALGIA
The most sold tekken games of all time
Out of everyone who else watched it twice cause of the sheer awesomeness at a video that has no words only human gestures.
When I was a kid, I tought those were real people.
whats funny is in my memory it looked this clear to me back then lmao
Who else gets b chills besides me this intro is 🔥 still this dis day the last tekken on ps1
Wow this came out really well and much better than the one that Marcelus put up where the faces go very weird in some scenes, particularly with the Laws in the restaurant.
Every time I saw the sequence when Nina opens her eyes the hype exploded, I love this intro, probably one of the best together with soul blade intro
Never forget...
That intro is AWESOME!!
i can still hear the PHSEEWWW! PSHHHH! BLEPP! menu sound effects as i choose what to play
The Ps1 was All about the "attitude and vibe of the 90's." And THIS GAME Complemented that PERFECTLY.
1:37 what's shown there? Is it Jin in the back of the car? There's some kanji on the left.
Everything about T3 was awesome! The graphics the characters the music! 👍
This was my first Tekken game and I’ll forever love it! The whole soundtrack is awesome!! ❤
Is that Jin in 1:36 inside the car?!
Yess
I will always remember booting up our PlayStation 1 and seeing this intro many times. Sadly our PS1 died like 2 years ago, but I kept all the games with it. I might be 20 and own an Xbox, but I will never forget my roots
WOW this trailer for Tekken 3 was ahead of its time superb!Thanks for the Upgraded version of this trailer it's only right..🤙
I think Tekken 3 was the best Tekken game ever of the Trilogy back in the old days!! 🎮🎮
happy 25th anniversary tekken 3!!! :3
Best Tekken intro ever. Breakbeat Rules.
I Agree 🔥
Iconic game. Glad to see this game being adapted for Netflix as Tekken Bloodlines.
As a kid in the 90s how could you not do action moves in the crib when this came on, I thought I was fucking Tom Cruise
The Golden age of gaming
The best Tekken games for me will always be Tekken 3, Tekken 5, Tekken 7 and Tekken Tag 2
1:38 ❤
23 yrs ago I received this for my 16th birthday
Bruh, I didn't even know that was legit just Devil at the end. I never understood that until now. Cheese and rice.
The Part When You See The Trains Riding By And People Cheering . Then Paul Standing There With His Hands In His Fist Is The Most Gangstas Shyt Ever!!!!!
Tekken 3 theme intro will forever be stuck in my head 😎🎧🎶 nice for exercise motivation!
0:54
Bass Armstrong: come here baby I'm not gonna hurt you .
Bob and Lili jk jk
Hwoarang looked like some kind of BadA**. When he was just sitting on his Motorcycle in the middle of the Road, and starts smiling at the Camera with his left Eyebrow raised. 😏😏😏😏😏😏
P.S. 1st time Breaking the Fourth Wall.
He was smiling at jin in the white car
Wasnt breaking the 4th wall
He drifted his bike in front of jins car to stop it and challenge him to a fight
I'm pretty sure he lost that fight too
@@danshiba1498 Damn. I never got that
@@danshiba1498 They actually fought to a draw, which fuelled Hwoarang's rivalry towards Jin even further.
Awesome intro and music (btw who was the purple demon at 01:49 supposed to be?)
Possibly the spirit of Devil from Tekken 2?
Could you kindly remove those video link cards? They obstruct the video.
YES!
I did
I greatly appreciate you upholding the legacy of Tekken 😎😍
CAN'T WAIT FOR TEKKEN BLOODLINE!!
HELL YEAH! One of the best intro in the story of videogames!
No quedó perfecto pero de todos modos es un trabajo admirable! Te felicito! Y la calidad de sonido quedó casi impecable! :'D
I grew up between NES and SNES, when PSone came it was a boom... then PS 2 came along and still today to me has been the best console ever made... Im so happy I grew up in the 80s... we see the tech world in an unique way.
Now this looks alot better I can see the difference
I love Nina part
