@@s.khan5805 not answering your question here but I want to add that I also read once that tag was made due to huge success of Tekken 3, it was making big money. So, basically milking the game, creating tag, though tag came out great! Just like street fighter 2 did with all their versions! Also, if tag had come to the Ps1, I'm sure they will have sold better, as not everyone could afford the PS2 at the time.
It may just be the nostalgia, but I personally prefer the arcade version. Some character’s faces look a little off (Law, Michelle, Jin for example), and the colors on certain alts like Jin’s red flames and Heihachi’s gold pants actually don’t look as good on PS2 as they do in the arcade. Plus, it’s super interesting to see Tekken 2 characters in the Tekken 3 style. Did you know? In the arcade version of TTT, when you select Devil, his eyes roll back Undertaker style when he poses. This was only included in the arcade version.
@@RisingUppercut Yep! I only knew about that after I emulated TTT on my arcade emulator. Another fun fact with Devil in the arcade version is that you cannot select Angel and Kazuya as a team, because the game automatically swaps Angel out for Devil. On the home console ports of TTT, they fixed that bug.
I remember the first time I played TTT on PS2 back in the day. It was like day and night coming from T3. The graphical jumps from console generation to console generation don’t hit like they used to. Everything’s looked the same since the PS3/7th Generation to me. The one drawback with the PS2 version of TTT was how they messed up/removed the P2/P4 outfits’ undershirts for Paul. As a Paul main, that still irks me to this day. lol
true that, i remember when ps2 to ps3 shift came, completely mindblowing! grew up with ps1 a bit somewhat aswell, and the differnce between ps1 and 2 was crazy aswell. you're right gpx dont feel all that much improved since ps3, at a eyeglance anyway. maybe its the type of games or something, gpx are better, its just not the leap it used to be, or it dosent feel that way like it used to.
Ps2 was revolutionary IMO, i got to play Tekken 3 and Tag [and i was 5]. it was bought for my elder sister. I grew up with these and i still play these games. i have arcade machine.
I never really noticed how the color palettes of certain characters varied drastically between the arcade and console version. One example would be Ancient Ogre at 4:19. Also with his second outfit I even prefer the detail and pattern of his head piece on the arcade version over the console one. I also never noticed that Julia wore a necklace on her college student attire! That was cool to find out. Also interesting design choice when it came to Anna as to them not bringing back her choker in the console version. I feel like since her upper body seems so empty that the choker was a nice little accessoire.
We didn't have many arcades or even single machines in my area back in the day but this was one we had briefly I would play this with my brother before he passed, love this game
I absolutely love both versions of the game! I do have the actual arcade hardware and it actually does suffer from a bit of lag on certain stages. I actually owned two pcbs until I ended up selling one. I must say, I really enjoy the arcade music more than the console version, especially the music on unknown’s stage. Nice video bro! 😎
1:05- I just noticed that not only the Characters have facial Animations in the PS2/PS3 Version, but Paul has it too in the Arcade Version just for the Character Select Screen.
Law's expression also changed to a Bruce Lee scream when he did his 1+3 throw or sidestep 2,1,2,1. In general, Tekken had facial animation since Tekken 3 (even the PlayStation version, although only limited to blinking and closing eyes when hit or KO'd, and not on all characters).
@D F 2 It pretty much is. Same engine and graphics, with added Tekken 2 characters, updated movesets and mechanics. The stages are basically recolors of T3 stages (Unknown's stage is the only new stage, but that's just a floor texture in the Arcade version).
@D F 2 True, some stages are a bit more changed up, but they're pretty much still T3 stages, lightly edited. The game uses T3 as base, after all. There are screenshots of beta TTT, which show pretty much unchanged T3 interface, except for the TTT lifebars.
I wish we could have had Tekken Tag 1 on BOTH PS1 and PS2. I hope the arcade version could get a rerelease one day. Also by the way due to the fact i havent play Tekken Tag 1 on PS2 in years and had to hold myself off with the arcade version, i never realized how big Forest and Hwoarang's heads were on PS2. Especially in comparison to the arcade counterparts.
weird how they made a tag 1 stick for ps1 i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WCEAAOSwqyRikxvt/s-l500.jpg, it seems like it couldve happend in theory. but ps1 had less ram than the arcade board, so they probably woudve skimped out on gpx quite a bit of they woudve ported it, if it coud even be done.

The way purple ogre is shaded looks far more menacing. Also, the blue band on one of true ogres horns pops out a lot more. This video is wild. Thanks for posting it!
Tekken Tag rocks!!! The best game of Tekken series. Awesome video by the way! 👍👍 Wish I can buy that original Namco system 12 arcade machine running Tekken Tag someday. 😃😃
PS2 graphics in general still impress me today in 2023, and this is coming from someone who was born in '96, so I really got to witness the evolution of 3D graphics throughout my lifetime
Yes, I remember that. Basically the arcade version are Tekken 3 models with few variant costumes. But I think Tekken 1 and Tekken 2 exclusive characters had some custom models to match Tekken 3 style (for arcade version) I remember the new models for console version were a big reason for me to buy this game...
So basically Baek, Michelle, Kazuya Jun, Marshall Law, Bruce and Kunimitsu would have looked similar to their Tag 1 arcade models in Tekken 3 if they would had them included in T3. 🥲
Just got a cheap machine for emulation and it can run this. Was always more of a curiosity for me over anything else since the PS2 version is a thing but its so cool to see people like Kazuya, Lee and Armor King in a "what if they were in Tekken 3" sort of way (3 of my favourites that didn't make it into 3 lol)
Even the Arcade models dont look bad, they have pretty highly detailed models despite running on what is a slightly better PS1. Note the individual fingers on each hand. Most 3D PS1 games dont have that, Rival Schools in particular. But the PS2 models look amazing, and this was a launch title. It can afford to have high quality models since it doesnt have to render a whole lot at a time but there isnt that many other PS2 games that look this good
Arcade models are better in body proportions, for example Kazuya's arms and chest are more realistics in size in thr arcade version (white pants costume), in PS2 he looks too skinny
When i played tag 1 for the first time in the early 2000s, i didnt think graphics could get any better. This was it, the pinnacle. To this day, i think tag 1 graphics still look better than Tekken 4 and 5 for some reason.
Also some character's hitboxes are different in PS2, for example Ogre's WS 3,3,d+3,3 in PS2 is more difficult to make the last kick to hit, in arcade almost everytime it hits
Some of these characters were not meant for the redesign for PS2 while others needed it to look better then they already did same could be said for certain costumes like bald Brian staying in arcade graphics cause he looks worse in PS2 graphics
@@RisingUppercut I wonder if its some sort of technical limitation? The wings become big when he uses the laser attacks in the arcade version. But yeah it does look really weird compared to ps2 and tekken 2. Also random, but Kazuya seems to have skinny arms in the PS2 version compared to arcade,
@@nishanfernando9314 Perhaps not a technical thing but it can be, it could have been a thing like the wings are in the way/ a distraction? but yes kaz lost some weight over to the ps2 version!
Dude. I remember begging my parents to get me a PS2 and TTT. My cousins and I would frequent Super Arcade in West Covina and Arcade Infinity in Rowland Heights, just to play TTT. And then when we saw how it looked on PS2, I just knew I had to have it! I saved up my lunch money long enough to buy the game and console, and I fucking gawked and played the shit out of it. At the time I told myself, "video game graphics will not get any better than this!". Of course I was wrong, but TTT is still one of my favorite games of all time!
Just remineder tekken tag ps2 size is just about 800mb, slightly bigger than tekken 3 on ps1. That's impressive the graphics is way better than tekken 3.
Actually a pretty unique case when console version is graphically better than the arcade one. Because usually it’s quite the opposite. Another example I can think of is the first Soul Calbur, it had the same situation.
@@hurricane7727 the character models are Tekken 3. Even the Tekken 1 and 2 models where made like Tekken 3. The graphics, the layout, the font in the game is all recycled Tekken 3.
@@NicholasSpeaks Tekken 2 Characters didn't Have Tekken 3 Models but Tekke. tag Ac was like if they were in Tekken 3 which was Cool. The Ko replay and Ending Song sounding the Same is like Tekken 1 Ac and Console( Tekken Tag Ac was a Updated Tekken 3). Weird the Modders couldn't just port juns model from this Game to Tekken where Her Portrait is.
I grew up playing tekken tag. So it would come to a surprise playing the arcade version and seeing the graphical downgrade for the arcade version . I thought I was tripping balls when I saw how bad it looked
Obviously, PS2 version has better graphic, but as far as gameplay is concerned (hitbox, move pool, etc), was there any difference between the arcade version and the PS2 version?
Not that I'm directly aware of, I once read that the might have been a few unnoticeable changes. So it's pretty much the grapichs that was the main makeover.
have you played a lot of this arcade version? In footage it seem that the gameplay is faster than the PS2 version. I wonder why this is the case, considering the PS2 had more power.
you could be referring the 60hz and 50hz systems back in the day, where 50hz caused games to be slightly slower running in EU rather than 60hz in US/JP!
@@RisingUppercut I'm not actually. It seems something about the gameplay was slightly changed from arcade to console. Perhaps that makes arcade seem faster to me. I'm not sure! But thanks for making this video and keep making content!
I play the arcade version and the PS3 remaster back to back very often and I agree that the arcade version feels faster and smoother to control. My first instinct was that it might be due to increased input latency on the console versions, and I think that could be a part of it, but also the character animations and movements are just more sluggish. I find the arcade version much more enjoyable to play.
Which character do you think had better colors or details than the PS2 version!?
PS2 version Anna Williams has creepy eyes that stare into the soul so I'd go for the Arcade version when it comes to her
Also Kuma and Panda have strangley more detail in their arcade counterparts you can see both their eyes and details on their clothes
Ps2 Better Graphics for sure
Psx based Arcade better designs on many
ps2 version is the most realistic tekken of all, the following tekken start to look more calicatura b, later adding cartoon ttt2 has a touch of cartoon, tekke x srteet fifghter a lot of cartoon, tk7 medium level of cartoon

Absolutely!
60 fps too (at least in the Hybrid HD version)
@@crashpal every Tekken game runs at 60FPS (unless you are referring to NTSC vs PAL difference).
I still love and play PS2 today. Sony used to be great.
The graphical leap from PS1 to PS2 was mind boggling.
the arcade version looks like a hybrid of tekken 2 and tekken 3
Yeah, it's like they weren't sure how to make the Tekken 2 fighters look like Tekken 3!
Jun's design and name was in the Tekken 3 beta but they axed it to bring in Jin and his orphan lore instead
3:03 so this is how kazuya's design would look if he had appeared in tekken 3 🤔🤔 interesting
They looked very impressive for the time and were suprisingly highly realistic. Man the arcade soundtrack is so underrated.

It can afford to have high quality models since it doesnt have to render a whole lot at a time but there isnt that many other PS2 games that look this good
Arcade models are better in body proportions, for example Kazuya's arms and chest are more realistics in size in thr arcade version (white pants costume), in PS2 he looks too skinny
Bryan's head looks too big in PS2, Arcade models are much better, more realistic and enjoyable to play,
This is how you do a remaster. Learn from this Rockstar :)
When i played tag 1 for the first time in the early 2000s, i didnt think graphics could get any better. This was it, the pinnacle.
To this day, i think tag 1 graphics still look better than Tekken 4 and 5 for some reason.
Yes something about the aesthetics of it!
2:34 They did Ganryu dirty. They had bros scar facing one direction in the arcade and another in console 💀💀
The graphics on both versions look better then modern games today
Omg stop saying better than___ it's super annoying
better than😏
Tekken tag in arcade is the best game ever doesn’t matter the graphics, the movements was perfect to play
It flows nicely!
i had emulated on the pcsx2, i really love it!
Arcace has an aura to it but Ps2 version is clearly more polished although some faces look kinda off (Paul, Jin, Law etc)
I like the PS2 version. The graphics are cool
so great for its time!
is just a ps2 remake from the arcade game
It’s definitely the first time that I ever saw a console version look better than the arcade version
Yeah, it went the other way around for this game!
Also some character's hitboxes are different in PS2, for example Ogre's WS 3,3,d+3,3 in PS2 is more difficult to make the last kick to hit, in arcade almost everytime it hits
Yeah, that might be! There where probably some buff ect done for the PS2 vers!
Interesting!!!!! More of them way different... 💥💥💥 dope Video man :))
Thanks for the support as always man!

Ps2 graphics are great but the arcade graphics give it that complete retro look ps1 feeling
Why I bought a ps2 period

Arcade Bruce: 🗿
Some of these characters were not meant for the redesign for PS2 while others needed it to look better then they already did same could be said for certain costumes like bald Brian staying in arcade graphics cause he looks worse in PS2 graphics
Namco using Tekken 3's engine for the arcade version right?
Correct! System 12 arcade
3:28 Jack-2 (arcade version) fighting stance too awkward xD
i liked how the PS2 version looked like the intro cutscene and I love the arcade version for the low poly look
IF u notice, is the same graphic style of cgi in the tekken 3's cutscenes
Devil has got so tiny wings in the arcade version compared to the ps2 version and the original devil from tekken 2
Right, that's the only thing I found wierd in the arcade version myself
@@RisingUppercut I wonder if its some sort of technical limitation? The wings become big when he uses the laser attacks in the arcade version. But yeah it does look really weird compared to ps2 and tekken 2. Also random, but Kazuya seems to have skinny arms in the PS2 version compared to arcade,
@@nishanfernando9314 Perhaps not a technical thing but it can be, it could have been a thing like the wings are in the way/ a distraction? but yes kaz lost some weight over to the ps2 version!
He is also in Tekken 1
@@hurricane7727 Not as a different character with his own move set, just as a skin for kazuya so I wouldn’t count devil as a character in Tekken 1
3:00
Silver mask vs golden mask
Resolution aside, I actually think Paul looks better on the arcade version
Dude. I remember begging my parents to get me a PS2 and TTT. My cousins and I would frequent Super Arcade in West Covina and Arcade Infinity in Rowland Heights, just to play TTT. And then when we saw how it looked on PS2, I just knew I had to have it! I saved up my lunch money long enough to buy the game and console, and I fucking gawked and played the shit out of it. At the time I told myself, "video game graphics will not get any better than this!". Of course I was wrong, but TTT is still one of my favorite games of all time!
Did you never watch a CGI cutscene back then? CGI cutscenes basically tell how future game graphics will look
1:33 my main on Tekken 6 and tag 2
PS2 models look better than Arcade
Indeed, though arcade version had its charm, especially seeing T2 characters with T3 graphics
Eu fico com a versão de Arcade. Até porque marcou a minha infância. 😃
Aracade is my favorite 😊
I DID NOT expect that alt for Bryan💀 Mr Clean lookin ahh
Tekken hybrid on PS3 with Tekken Tag HD and it runs at the NTSC speed is the best version
That is true! It wouldn't be fair to compare TTT HD with the arcade, hehe!
Just remineder tekken tag ps2 size is just about 800mb, slightly bigger than tekken 3 on ps1. That's impressive the graphics is way better than tekken 3.

Bald brian
I like arcade version 😎✌👏👍
Me too
Me to
Arcade version is looks like PS1 version
That is right, it was produced in the same standards as Tekken 3!
Wow. The arcade version of this looks like it could be Tekken 2
TAG arcade to Tag ps2 was a BIG jump, even bigger than Soulcalibur arcade to soul calibur dreamcast
Sick channel logo at the start, how’d you make it
Thanks man! Just a lot of design work/ trying to animate and video editing over each other!
In Arcade version, Devil Kazuya's Wing is smaller when folded in Contrast of PS2 version where it same as his T2 Model
Tekken Tag Tournament is
Tekken 3 EX EDITION or SUPER Tekken 3
Arcade edition is the proof
Haha, indeed!
I always wonder what consoles were used in those arcades?
Actually a pretty unique case when console version is graphically better than the arcade one. Because usually it’s quite the opposite. Another example I can think of is the first Soul Calbur, it had the same situation.
One of the best Tekken games of all time
alot of them were just tekken 3 models. Tag Tournament was just Tekken 3 with better graphics
It was Tekken 1( It has the replay and the same Ending Songs which is from Tekken 1 Arcade and Console Versions), Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 Combined.
@@hurricane7727 the character models are Tekken 3. Even the Tekken 1 and 2 models where made like Tekken 3. The graphics, the layout, the font in the game is all recycled Tekken 3.
@@NicholasSpeaks Tekken 2 Characters didn't Have Tekken 3 Models but Tekke. tag Ac was like if they were in Tekken 3 which was Cool. The Ko replay and Ending Song sounding the Same is like Tekken 1 Ac and Console( Tekken Tag Ac was a Updated Tekken 3). Weird the Modders couldn't just port juns model from this Game to Tekken where Her Portrait is.
People said that Bruce Irvin is doing kickboxing he's doing Muay Thai actually
I grew up playing tekken tag. So it would come to a surprise playing the arcade version and seeing the graphical downgrade for the arcade version . I thought I was tripping balls when I saw how bad it looked
I wish the ps2 had an option to play with the arcade graphics, i do like the low poly
It feels weird to see Tekken 3 poly counts on characters who weren't in Tekken 3.
My guy arcade kazuya close his eyes when you pick him ps2 kazuya is like 👀
PS2 version is more like Tekken 3 arcade version, while arcade version ironically similar with console version of Tekken 3
I wish Bandai Namco hires a Coder to port Old Tekken Games on Modern Consoles, & Steam.
I just played this game today, and got all the characters
How cool, the good old unlocking the characters!
Id love the arcade version to play the ps2 version took away some of the originality and miss the T3 style impact patterns
Devil's wings were so dinky in the arcade release for some reason 😅
Obviously, PS2 version has better graphic, but as far as gameplay is concerned (hitbox, move pool, etc), was there any difference between the arcade version and the PS2 version?
Not that I'm directly aware of, I once read that the might have been a few unnoticeable changes. So it's pretty much the grapichs that was the main makeover.
Arcade Kuma and Roger look horrifying lmao
have you played a lot of this arcade version? In footage it seem that the gameplay is faster than the PS2 version. I wonder why this is the case, considering the PS2 had more power.
you could be referring the 60hz and 50hz systems back in the day, where 50hz caused games to be slightly slower running in EU rather than 60hz in US/JP!
@@RisingUppercut I'm not actually. It seems something about the gameplay was slightly changed from arcade to console. Perhaps that makes arcade seem faster to me. I'm not sure! But thanks for making this video and keep making content!
I play the arcade version and the PS3 remaster back to back very often and I agree that the arcade version feels faster and smoother to control. My first instinct was that it might be due to increased input latency on the console versions, and I think that could be a part of it, but also the character animations and movements are just more sluggish. I find the arcade version much more enjoyable to play.
best thumbnail ever lol
Haha thanks man!
Do you think is it a remastered or a remake? Because they add more polygons in the ps2 version
what name of the song started at 3:31 ??
That is the Staff Roll theme of the Arcade version. This plays when the game is completed:)
@@RisingUppercut it's also the Results Theme in the Console Version
The arcade graphics fit the game more
Why?
Then Tekken 7 would've ended up on a namco system 12.
@@RealJackBolt it gives the game the right feeling, i don't know how to explain it. Tekken 7 should have better graphics
My childhood ❤
Arcade has better colour and shine but ps2 is smoother and more better shape. If they combined the two it would have been perfect.
so true, never though of it like that!
