Tekken Hybrid is a 2011 fighting game collection released exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It consists of the film Tekken: Blood Vengeance (as a Blu-ray 3D format), with a remastered version of Tekken Tag Tournament and a demo version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 called Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue. Tekken: Blood Vengeance is accessible if the disc is loaded onto any Blu-ray player. Tekken Tag Tournament HD is based on the original PlayStation 2 version and features updated HD visuals, while including trophies.
Gameplay
Gameplay in Tekken Tag Tournament HD was virtually unchanged from the original game, however there was a bump in visual quality as the aspect ratio was changed to fit 16:9, and ran in full 1080p HD, running at 60 frames per second.
Plot
Both Tekken Tag Tournament and its sequel are non-canon entries of the series. Despite this, all of the characters have a real-time ending shown over the credits for the first character chosen when selecting the two fighters. Unknown's ending, however, is an FMV instead.
Characters
All 34 (plus 5 palette swaps) characters from the original game are present in the HD version. However, unlike the original, all of the characters are available from the start, a contrast to characters being locked in the arcades and PlayStation 2 versions of the game. Four characters from the sequel were available in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue.
