VGCulture - Tekken Movie (done the right way)

Have you seen the trailer to Tekken Blood Vengence yet?

Remember a short while ago, there was a Live action Tekken movie that came out?  Yeah, I didn't bother watching it either.  Time after time, more videogame adaptation movies are made and rip the contents and glory of our favorite games with characters and stories that don't make sense to the game.  There are a lot of bad videogame adaptation movies but very few movies that use the basis of the games themselves to create the movie.  Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within seemed promising when it was announced (especially since it was live action), but it had little to do with Final Fantasy and did not deliver a decent movie in itself.  Too many directors are relying on the name of the videogames to create the hype and hope that it's enough to be successful.  Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was really good though, but perhaps it made more sense to those who played the game (I am ashamed to say that I have the game for all these many many years but have not played it.  I still understood the movie though).  The movie didn't use the same exact graphics as the game (that'd be awkward), but it still had the characters, good writing, and a nice composition to each scene.  I'm hoping that Tekken Blood Vengeance will have that same amount of quality in the movie since it's using the same character designs as the game (yay, no live action).  Maybe I should watch the live action one to see how bad it was (I eventually watched "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" and yeah, it was pretty bad).
