{{nihongo|'''''Tekken 5'''''|鉄拳5}} is a 2004 [[fighting game]] developed and published by [[Namco]] for [[arcade game|arcades]], before being ported to the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2005. It is the fifth main game in the ''[[Tekken]]'' series, marking the tenth anniversary of the series. The game is set shortly after the events of ''[[Tekken 4]]'' featuring a new antagonist named [[Jinpachi Mishima]] taking over the ''[[zaibatsu|Mishima Zaibatsu]]'' while a sidestory focuses on the protagonist [[Jin Kazama]] as he faces several enemies from the G Corporation. The home version also contains a collector's edition of sorts, as it includes the arcade versions of ''[[Tekken (video game)|Tekken]]'', ''[[Tekken 2]]'', ''[[Tekken 3]]'', and ''[[StarBlade]]''.

The game reverts several major gameplay changes introduced in ''Tekken 4'', such as uneven stage terrain, in favor of a more fluid gameplay akin to the older games in the series. It is also the first game in the series to feature the ability to customize characters with accessories, clothing, and other aesthetic items purchased with in-game currency. There are 32 fighters to choose from, including five new fighters as well as Jin's alter-ego Devil Jin.

The arcade version of the game was upgraded to ''Tekken 5.1'' exclusively for the NAMCO 256 system on July 14, 2005, which had mostly balance changes to the gameplay including removing the infamous Double Stinger infinite combo of Steve Fox. It was then followed up with the final update ''[[Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection]]'' which was released in 2005 and later ported to the [[PlayStation Portable]] (as ''Tekken: Dark Resurrection'') and the [[PlayStation 3]]. ''Tekken 5'' was a critical and commercial success, selling over 9.43 million copies including the Dark Resurrection expansion. Critics praised the return of classic gameplay features and the large amount of replay value provided by the PlayStation 2 port though the final boss Jinpachi Mishima was criticized for being too powerful, while Jin's mini-game story mode ''Devil Within'' was perceived as "boring" in comparison to the fighting game main Story mode which was open to every character. The sequel entitled ''[[Tekken 6]]'' was released in 2007.

==Gameplay==
New to the features is the ''hot system'' which affects the vulnerability of character while they attack. For example, a move with jumping properties, such as a hop-kick, will be completely invulnerable during most of its animation time to all of an opponent's low attacks.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://worthplaying.com/article/2005/3/4/reviews/22922-ps2-review-tekken-5/|title=PS2 Review - 'Tekken 5'|website=WorthPlaying|access-date=October 4, 2022}}</ref> It also retains its wall juggling concept from ''[[Tekken 4]]'', but the element is effectively more difficult to abuse and easier to defend against. ''Tekken 5'' also allows players to customize their fighter for the first time, allowing them to change the colors of their outfits, buy additional costumes, and equip them with items by using money gained from playing the Story, Survival, Time Attack, the side-story ''Devil Within'', and Arcade Battle modes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.videogamesdaily.com/reviews/ps2/tekken5_p2.asp|website=Game Daily|access-date=October 4, 2022|page=2|title=Tekken 5|archive-date=October 5, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005002940/http://archive.videogamesdaily.com/reviews/ps2/tekken5_p2.asp|url-status=live}}</ref>

The raised and lowered sections of floors featured in the ''Tekken 4'' levels were removed for the fifth installment. This change made gameplay throughout each stage generally similar, aside from wall placements. In addition to removing the uneven nature of the ''Tekken 4'' styled stages, the design team returned to the style of stages from previous games by having some stages without barriers by allowing them to be infinitely scrolling. For walled stages, the fights take place in fairly symmetrical boxes without any uneven walls. Floors could also crack after one of the characters hit it hard enough. Only one part of a stage can be cracked at a time, however.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.videogamesdaily.com/reviews/ps2/tekken5_p3.asp|website=Game Daily|access-date=October 4, 2022|title=Tekken 5|page=3|archive-date=October 5, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005002939/http://archive.videogamesdaily.com/reviews/ps2/tekken5_p3.asp|url-status=live}}</ref>

Other changes over the ''Tekken 4'' design included the removal of the positional change techniques, bringing back traditional air combat and using a juggle system more akin to ''Tekken 3'' as opposed to the 4th game's less juggle-friendly gameplay.

===Devil Within===
[[File:DevilWithinTekken.png|thumb|left|Gameplay of ''Devil Within'' showing Jin fighting in his Devil Form]]

The home version also includes Devil Within mode. This is the third installment and gameplay variant in the ''Tekken Force'' series (the first two instalments can be found in ''[[Tekken 3]]'' and ''Tekken 4'' respectively). Similar to ''Death by Degrees'', 'Devil Within' focuses solely on one playable character, Jin Kazama, who can also transform into Devil Jin. This is a 3D [[beat 'em up]] game with [[platformer|platforming]] elements, in which players must control Jin through a series of labyrinthine levels and battle enemy armies. This mode features [[Boss (video gaming)|boss]]es, such as True Ogre from ''Tekken 3'', who is not playable in ''Tekken 5''.

==Plot==
Set moments after ''[[Tekken 4]]''{{'}}s ending, [[Jin Kazama]]'s departure from the Hon-Maru dojo, G Corporation helicopters approach and begin deploying [[Jack (Tekken)|Jack-4]] robot pods into the building. [[Heihachi Mishima]] and his son, [[Kazuya Mishima|Kazuya]], battle the Jacks together until Kazuya leaves Heihachi for dead while escaping. The Jacks hold down Heihachi while one activates its detonator, creating a huge explosion that seemingly kills Heihachi. The only witness to the event is [[Raven (Tekken)|Raven]], a mysterious ninja clad in black, who relays Heihachi's death to his superiors. Heihachi's death is declared all over the world with people foreseeing the end of the [[Mishima Zaibatsu]]. However, somebody else takes over the company from the shadows and business continues.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/tekken-5|title=Tekken® 5 THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING FRANCHISE RETURNS WITH TEKKEN® 5|website=GameIndustry|date=19 May 2005|access-date=October 4, 2022|archive-date=5 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005004502/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/tekken-5|url-status=live}}</ref>

Two months later, the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 is announced. During the tournament, Kazuya crosses paths with Raven, who recognizes him after seeing him flying away from the Hon-Maru. Kazuya defeats Raven and interrogates him. When he makes Raven talk, Kazuya discovers that he was betrayed by G Corporation, and that something was awakened from under Hon-Maru. Kazuya realizes what Heihachi has done, and speculates that, in fact, it is his grandfather [[Jinpachi Mishima]], Heihachi's father who was confined below Hon-Maru by Heihachi after a [[coup d'état|coup]] forty years ago. However, he was possessed by a vengeful spirit who granted him insurmountable power, after which he broke out of Hon-Maru during the Jacks' attacks. Ultimately, as revealed in the next game, after Jin utterly defeats [[Wang Jinrei]] in the later stages of the tournament, [[Hwoarang]] faced Jin and defeated him in the semi-finals. While Jin was lying on the ground, suddenly, he roars paranormally and produces a gale that blows Hwoarang away. From Jin's back, two black wings spread, and Jin stands up in his devil form. Hwoarang is at his wits end. He is not able to fight back, and soon he is knocked unconscious. Presumably because Hwoarang could not continue, Jin was allowed to continue in his place, and progress through the tournament. Jin manages to defeat his great-grandfather Jinpachi in the final stage, who dissolves into dust and disappears shortly after, with his wish being fulfilled. With this victory, Jin becomes the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, setting in motion the events of ''[[Tekken 6]]''.

==Characters==
{{see also|Characters of the Tekken series}}

The game features a total of 32 playable characters, consisting of 26 returning and 6 new ones. Unlike previous games, the home version adds no new playable character, and the game's unplayable final boss from the arcades, [[Jinpachi Mishima]], remains unplayable in the console version. The home version also has two uncontrollable enemies fought during the Devil Within minigame: Gun Jack and True Ogre.

==Development==
After the release of ''Tekken 4'', series director [[Katsuhiro Harada]] left [[Namco]] due to pressure with game's decline in sales. Harada's boss insisted him to keep producing more titles as he was capable of pleasing people with his work. After a year away, Harada went back to the company explaining it was due to his passion with fighting games.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Art of Tekken: A Complete Visual History|publisher=[[Dynamite Entertainment]]|year=2019|isbn=978-1524107734|author=Hurwitch, Nick|page=66}}</ref> Namco first announced ''Tekken 5'' in [[E3 2004]] during May.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/tekken-5-confirmed/|title=Tekken 5 confirmed!|date=4 May 2004|publisher=GamesRadar|access-date=December 4, 2019|archive-date=8 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808034219/https://www.gamesradar.com/tekken-5-confirmed/|url-status=live}}</ref> Harada aimed to make it the best game in the entire franchise to celebrate its 10th anniversary. He aimed to amplify the action elements of the games and make them more over-the-top. In regards to the handling of the game following the sales of ''Tekken 4'', Harada claims Namco used this response to develop the game. Namco also aimed to make the game fitting for newcomers. The early success of the arcade led the team to research for more content to add in future installments.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/a-tekken5aftermath-ps2|newspaper=Eurogamer.net|access-date=October 12, 2022|title=Creators and Players on Tekken 5|date=15 July 2005|archive-date=12 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012232223/https://www.eurogamer.net/a-tekken5aftermath-ps2|url-status=live}}</ref> Based on the company's revolutionary Dynamic Motion Synthesis technology, endorphin was chosen to implement an AI and dynamics simulation to create 3D character animation in real-time, thus dramatically accelerating 3D animation pipelines in games and visual effect studios. Shinichiro Yoda of Namco was optimisitic with this decision. Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion, said that they were delighted by Namco as they had already put it in test for its first trailer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/namco-chooses-endorphin-for-tekken-5|title=Namco Chooses endorphin for Tekken 5|website=Game Industryz|date=6 October 2004|access-date=October 4, 2022|archive-date=4 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221004211956/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/namco-chooses-endorphin-for-tekken-5|url-status=live}}</ref> The arcade cabinet of the game was notable for allowing players to use their PlayStation 2 controls over the regular arcade system. The team felt that for the first time in years, the franchise made a notable progress thanks to ''Tekken 5''.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Art of Tekken: A Complete Visual History|publisher=[[Dynamite Entertainment]]|year=2019|isbn=978-1524107734|author=Hurwitch, Nick|page=67}}</ref>

The game was developed to be different from its predecessor.<ref name="details"/> In contrast to ''Tekken Tag Tournament'', ''5'' runs on a System 256, a stronger arcade, allowing the team to produce more detailed backgrounds and characters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/tekken-5/567587p1.html|title=Tekken 5|publisher=GameSpy|access-date=December 4, 2019|date=November 19, 2004|archive-date=March 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301190143/http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/tekken-5/567587p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This was done thanks to the new engine provided by Namco.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/tekken-5/567671p1.html|title=Tekken 5 Gets Release Date|publisher=GameSpy|access-date=December 4, 2019|date=November 19, 2004|archive-date=March 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301202356/http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/tekken-5/567671p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Early in development, Namco promised gamers there would be a minigame on action adventure style mode similar to the one provided by ''Tekken 3''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/tekken-5-hands-on/1100-6113599/|title=Tekken 5 Hands On|publisher=GameSpot|access-date=December 4, 2019|archive-date=August 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808015833/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/tekken-5-hands-on/1100-6113599/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Harada wanted the game to be enjoyable to newcomers as a result of multiple playable characters that might be difficult to master. A blur effect was added to the visuals while several stages were given flames.<ref name="haradabehind"/> Early in the production, ''Tekken 5'' was meant to have 20 playable characters, with the selected returning ones being the most popular ones. New movements were added to the returning cast. 600 items were also made for the idea of customization.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8VtWFuHzsE|work=GameSpot|title=Retro GAMESPOT - Tekken 5 Developer Interview part 1 (2004)|access-date=October 16, 2022|archive-date=October 16, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221016223356/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8VtWFuHzsE|url-status=live}}</ref> Among the newcomers, Asuka Kazama stands as a replacement from the missing [[Jun Kazama]] who only appeared in ''Tekken 2'' and ''Tag Tournament''.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Art of Tekken: A Complete Visual History|publisher=[[Dynamite Entertainment]]|year=2019|isbn=978-1524107734|author=Hurwitch, Nick|page=114}}</ref> Despite promotion from ''Tekken 5'' claiming that the character has died in the intro, Namco Bandai denied this statement in interviews.<ref name="details">{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/06/01/new-tekken-5-details|title=New Tekken 5 Details|date=June 2004|publisher=IGN|access-date=December 4, 2019|archive-date=December 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191204173111/https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/06/01/new-tekken-5-details|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Tekken 5'' also makes most characters use their own native language during cutscenes, introductions to battles and victory scenes. Producer Takai Homma was in charge of this part of the game. Homma recalls having fun in giving the characters their respective lines as well subtitles. This also led to animal characters having their own lines which have to be read. The goal of Homma was surpassing the two previous ''Tekken'' games.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxnF6otVGVw|work=GameSpot|title=Retro GAMESPOT - Tekken 5 Developer Interview part 2 (2004)|access-date=October 16, 2022|archive-date=October 16, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221016223358/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxnF6otVGVw&gl=US&hl=en|url-status=live}}</ref>

The game features a large cast of music composers, including Akitaka Tohyama, Yoshihito Yano, [[Yuu Miyake]], Junichi Nakatsuru, [[Satoru Kōsaki]], Rio Hamamoto, Ryuichi Takada, and [[Hiroshi Okubo]]. The same team also worked on the PS2 version, with the addition of Tetsukazu Nakanishi, [[Keiichi Okabe]], [[Kohta Takahashi]], Kazuhiro Nakamura, Keiki Kobayashi, [[Nobuyoshi Sano]], and Katsuro Tajima.

Available in the version for the arcades, the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] and the PlayStation 3 (via the [[PlayStation Network]]), ''Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection'' is an update of ''Tekken 5''. It was officially announced at the 2005 JAMMA AM Show but news of it leaked slightly beforehand. The update ''Dark Resurrection'' would further add additional characters, more features, and customizations in addition to gameplay rebalancing. It was directed by Haruki Suzaki who aimed to turn Jinpachi into a playable character. The Japanese version took about two and a half months. The PlayStation 3 port proved difficult to port as a result of its different engine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/02/22/tekken-5-dark-resurrection-interview|title=Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Interview|website=IGN|date=22 February 2007|access-date=October 4, 2022|archive-date=5 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105043446/http://ps3.ign.com/articles/766/766622p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

''Tekken 5'' was met with mainly positive critical response, resulting in a score of 88 out of 100 at [[Metacritic]].<ref name="MC" /> Several writers found its mechanics superior to its predecessor, ''Tekken 4'', due to the return of classic mechanics and the importance of each stage as well as faster combat.<ref name="gamespy"/><ref name="IGN"/> The fact that ''Tekken 5'' removed the exclusive features from its prequel was also a subject of praise.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/tekken-5-2/|title=Tekken 5|website=GamesRadar|date=18 November 2004|access-date=October 5, 2022|archive-date=5 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005185414/https://www.gamesradar.com/tekken-5-2/|url-status=live}}</ref> The new mechanics to customize the characters were praised and compared with the ones from ''[[Virtua Fighter 4]]''.<ref name="gamespy"/><ref name="eurogamer"/><ref name="gamezone"/> The new characters were also the subject of positive response due to the variety they provide.<ref name="gamerev"/><ref name="eurogamer"/><ref name=GSpot/> Additionally, the PlayStation 2 port was heavily praised for the inclusion of the first three ''Tekken'' to play, which expanded the replay value.<ref name="gamespy"/><ref name="gamerev"/><ref>{{Cite web|title='Tekken 5' Review|url=https://www.awn.com/vfxworld/tekken-5-review|date=March 10, 2005}}</ref>

Negative comments focused on the 'Devil Within' mini game due to poorly executed mechanics, despite giving the player the possibility of using Devil Jin for the first time,<ref name="eurogamer"/><ref name="IGN"/><ref name=GSpot/> with ''GameAxis Unwired'' calling it derivative of the Tekken Force mini-game from ''Tekken 3'' while ''GameRevolution'' compared it to the poorly received spin-off ''[[Death By Degrees]]''.<ref name="gamerev"/><ref name="gameaxis"/> The final boss Jinpachi Mishima has often been criticized for how overpowered he can be to the point of often being rated as one of the worst bosses in gaming.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.complex.com/video-games/2010/12/the-50-lamest-video-game-bosses/jinpachi-mishima |title=Jinpachi Mishima - 50 Lamest Video Game Bosses |publisher=Complex |date=2010-12-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121003014736/http://www.complex.com/video-games/2010/12/the-50-lamest-video-game-bosses/jinpachi-mishima |archive-date= 3 October 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://venturebeat.com/2010/07/26/pressing-issue-5-bosses-cheaper-than-seth/ |title=5 Fighting-Game Bosses Cheaper Than SF4′s Seth |publisher=VentureBeat |date=2010-07-26 |access-date=2010-07-26 |archive-date=2014-08-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140827193719/http://venturebeat.com/2010/07/26/pressing-issue-5-bosses-cheaper-than-seth/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="IGN"/>

The presentation was the subject of positive response. The visuals were praised both for the improvement to the fights as well as the new CGI endings over real time cutscenes coupled with interludes and narration in the story mode,<ref name="IGN"/><ref name="eurogamer"/><ref name="gamespy"/><ref name="gameaxis"/> as well as improvements to bodies' textures<ref name="vg"/> to the point ''GameZone'' and ''GameSpot'' found it as a more faithful sequel to ''Tekken 3'' than ''4''.<ref name="gamezone"/><ref name=GSpot/> The idea of having the characters speaking their native languages over English was well received.<ref name=GSpot/><ref name="IGN"/> ''VideoGamer.com'' enjoyed the large amount of content player can unlock in the gallery mode too.<ref name="vg"/>

''Tekken 5'' was also awarded "Best Fighting Game of 2005" by ''GameSpot'',<ref name="gamespotaward"/> and "Best PlayStation 2 Fighting Game" by ''IGN''.<ref name="ignaward"/> During the [[9th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards]], ''Tekken 5'' received a nomination for "[[D.I.C.E.

Producer Harada acknowledged that the game was still riddled with problems, such as characters that were too strong (for example, Steve Fox), and a gameplay that was broken in terms of fairness. This led to the patched update ''[[Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection]]''.<ref name="Interview with Justin Wong">{{YouTube|LL_SsjBKiDQ}}</ref> The fighters were also forced to remain stationary prior to the round beginning.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamezone.com/reviews/tekken_5_dark_resurrection_ps3_review/|website=Game Zone|access-date=October 4, 2022|title=Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection – PS3 – Review|date=4 May 2012|archive-date=5 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005005509/https://www.gamezone.com/reviews/tekken_5_dark_resurrection_ps3_review/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The game's critical praise was matched with commercial success. As of July 2009, it has sold around 6 million copies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vandal.net/cgi-bin/verreportaje.pl?n=224 |title=Tekken 6 - Entrevista |publisher=Vandal |date=2009-07-26 |access-date=2011-09-27 |archive-date=2009-09-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090930203243/http://www.vandal.net/cgi-bin/verreportaje.pl?n=224 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In retrospective, Harada believes ''Tekken 5'', and ''Tekken 6'', managed to attract a new large group of fans, something ''Tekken 4'' did not do relatively as much despite its positive reviews. However, Harada was not without criticism, and stated that Tekken 5 did revert the innovation in Tekken 4 by returning to classic conservative gameplay to please the older fans, which in hindsight he should not have resorted to in excess of the innovation that could have been.<ref name="Interview with Justin Wong"/><ref name="retro">{{cite web|url=https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/06/02/tekken-7-out-today-harada-talks-history-future-of-fighting-games/|title=Tekken 7 Out Today, Harada Talks History, Future of Fighting Games|date=2 June 2017|publisher=Blog PlayStation|access-date=June 26, 2019|archive-date=19 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170919022306/https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/06/02/tekken-7-out-today-harada-talks-history-future-of-fighting-games/|url-status=live}}</ref>  A sequel, ''Tekken 6'', was released in 2007. The first CGI scene from the game also influenced the developers to create a film titled ''[[Tekken: Blood Vengeance]]'' (2011) which uses this type of animation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-11-tekken-blood-vengeance-details|title=Tekken Blood Vengeance details|website=Eurogamer|access-date=June 25, 2019|date=May 11, 2011|archive-date=December 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181212175950/https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-11-tekken-blood-vengeance-details|url-status=live}}</ref>
