It factors because as long as the look isn't drastically changed and the characters are recognizable its fine. it just comes off as lazy. Tekken changing costumes every game was nice.

Technically, all they have to do to change costumes is to make the new 2P ones 1P and the 1P old "iconic" one 2P. But new costumes is not all I want. I want a new "LOOK." Military Hwoarang, Paul with hair parting in the middle, mature Xiaoyu. That's the type of art direction I want.

If you just want new costumes, then I'm sure each character will have those as their second/third options.

 

[MrCookiepants]

I don't understand the logic that the characters need the same costumes to remain iconic. Mortal Kombat changes the designs and it's not a problem. Even the most casual player is not going to be upset or confused. They changed them for Tekken 1-5 and they were successful. People talk about the glory days of Tekken 3 which had big changes. It sounds like an excuse.

MK characters have kept the same iconic designs since the 32-bit days.

It's just that Scoprion's yellow vest and mask motif is a lot more flexible than say, Kazuya's Karate pants and gloves. What could they possibly add to that design?

What is Maxi doing in this game?
I guess we won't be seeing a dramatic change in character appearances and atmosphere like in Tekken 4. I'm glad they reduced the number of moves that bound since a lot of moves that bound were not very practical or effective during juggles.

Always been a Michelle stan since the first Tekken but I know she won't be in this one.
I have a feeling that Julia will be revealed towards the end since Harada will keep people guessing on whether she'll go back to her roots or stick with the Jaycee persona.
Anyways, I'm excited to see how the Changs (if both make it) will be in the game.

I'm skimming through it. Way too many people blocking the view and too shaky. Keeps switching camera back and forth. Damn it, keep it focused on one place.

 

[Gambit61]

Wow KOs look super dramatic lol

Junkyard KO @ 7:30

[MikeBreezy92]

Rage moves are pretty much SCV supers animation wise.

Ground Breaks bounce higher instead of bound animation...

 

[Raonak]

Fucking hate it how they're using the exact same costumes AGAIN!

T1-T5 did completely new costumes per entry. It did a good job at making the entires feel varied enough.
T5, T6, and from the looks of it, T7 are all gonna use the exact same default costumes which really detracts from the novelty factor of a new tekken game :/

For P1 they don't have to be a big change, maybe play around with the colours, or have different textures. P2 outfits should try something new for the character.
At the very least make Jack-7 look different than Jack-5/6

 

[HeelPower]

Yup!

Supers and Time Freezes in Tekken.

That's definitely an exciting addition.

 

[Gambit61]

Yo we got super freezes/animations!

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Supers look dope lol

 

[SDBurton]

I would've never imagined to see supers in Tekken. Aris is so pumped. XD

 

[Deps]

Combos look much shorter and supers are short, I'm hype as FUCK

 

[MrCookiepants]

I HAVE SO MANY MIXED EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW.

This is so weird looking.

Bound is pretty much no longer combo filler but a combo starter like in Revolution

Just played 4 matches.


In a while I'll post my quite early impressions.

The fluidity on Kazuya's coat is just out of this world. Fuuuuuck!

Don't get too excited about the sparks, they are everywhere and over used. Much like the special effects of revolution and the tacky flashines of it all.

 

[Gambit61]

Yea it looks amazing for 50%. I need dis on PC

Man those shots feel solid as hell. I like, but the costumes are disappointing. I'm gunna die of hype!

Is this on the cellphone video? At what time? Finding hard to catch anything on that video

Kaz's got a new costume! BOOYA

Really love the stuff like the freeze on KO and particle overload( <3 particles)

The thought of a 1080p tekken game is getting me really excited, going from T5R's 1080p resolution to T6's subHD bluryness felt like a huge downgrade.

Do we have any indication of whether this would have a tag mode? I remember harada saying something like it'd probably be included in future games.

Harada said at this point Tag makes the game too complicated.

Is it me or does the movement doesn't look as crisp as before? I see people trying to do some back dash cancels but it's not giving them nearly as much distance as before.

The effects are pretty over the top. Sparks everywhere.

 

[Doomshine]

Hnnggh that legend kick KO, almost looks like the end of Fei Long's ultra.

Awesome! Game looks stunning! Can't believe how good the lighting is. Katarina on the other screen looks amazing as well; her animations are so fluid looking. Can't wait to see more of her!

Those hit sparks though... they seem a bit over-done. Hope it's not annoying during play.

That Law legend kick KO, god damn. Hit sparks out the ass and slow-mo on top. Is Tekken flashy enough for Americans yet?

This game is going to look absolutely stunning.

Even at 50% visual fidelity, compared to TTT2, the backround lighting seems improved as well as the hit effect particles,also the flame particles on the backround.
The character models, environment destruction and animation don't seem improved at all. Of course it's a yt video taken from cam, so we'll have to reserve judgement until tommorrow

Yeah I agree with all this. The background, lightning and effects are improved but the models seem mostly the same. Of course this is all off screen footage but this is definitely not "OMFG next gen Tekken graphix" type visual fidelity here.
