Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada has revealed at Comic-Con today that in addition to the
already announced enhanced port of Tekken Tag Tournament from PS2 in HD, Tekken
Hybrid will receive a playable prologue of the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The disc
also has the CG animated movie, Tekken: Blood Vengance.

The prologue will feature at least two playable characters in the form of Alisa and Xiaoyu,
but Harada didn't detail which other characters will feature. The disc will also have an HD
port of the old PS2 favourite Tekken Tag Tournament, the game is identical to the PS2
version except that it will harness the power of the PS3 and render in HD natively rather
than upscale.
This game/movie hybrid comes just days after Namco announced another Macross
game/movie hybrid, and it seems to be a growing trend amongst dual purpose franchises
or companies which have interests in games and movies. Sony have been another
company which has shipped game demos with Blu-ray releases the latest of which was
Resistance 3 on the Battle: Los Angeles disc.
Hopefully more franchises will take advantage of this feature for PS3 gamers, but for now
we have no release date available for Tekken Hybrid, we do know, however, that the game contents of the disc will be exclusive to PS3.
