TEKKEN 8 - Story & Gameplay Teaser Trailer

Dunno what you guys are smoking, looks impressive and very next gen, hella fun and design are great, and JUN IS BACK.

Wish they showed Nina, but can't complain too many characters shown already, and Lars was surpring btw didn't bet on his return.

Quite the downgrade.

I'll main Jun anyway, happy to see her finally return.

Backgrounds are amazing and super busy. Characters are basically "Yep, that's what I'd expect a new Tekken to look like," which isn't as hot as the teaser but they look nice and have good cloth physics. No framerate worries so long as this is what they're running. At least we didn't have long to wait for gameplay.

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

Graphics don't look as good as the announcement trailer, but the story segments have me HYPED
 
The first Unreal Engine 5 game I'm interested in. I wonder when we'll get the release date...

The difference looks like it has to do with more just the stage and lighting of it itself. Overall, decent just wished they would have shown a little more gameplay but eh.
 
You need to see a side by side of Tekken 7 to realize it's a major upgrade on what they showed here for 8.

What they need to do is what SF does —show actual 1v1 gameplay for real with UI. Put it out an event for people to record and play .

For me the most impressive stuff was the stages.
 
I believe that's Marshall judging by the scars on his chest.
Good point, but he looks a bit white and young (usually Marshall is a bit more tan skin than his son). So it's quite hard to tell...

Anyway so excited, but i want more, but still awesome, so happy to see Jun back.

Yeah I'd prefer Forest back over Marshall.

I'm glad Jun is back also. 👍🏻
 
Tekken's stories are always wild and imho the best story mode in history of fighting games.

In regards to any downgrade, I can't say as how can anyone tell based on the last trailer when that is like less then 2 min? This looks impressive enough and i can't wait to see more.
 
I am disappointed in the default male body type being 5% body fat roid monkey and the default female body type being anorexic toothpick.

Also, Paul looks like a 50 year old lesbian with that haircut and the illusion of game being next gen is broken.

We dont have to imagine. The cutscenes with closeups of one character on screen lets them use all the GPU resources to have the highest fidelity character models. They look like this.

In gameplay, they look like this.

In Tekken they are using the cutscene quality model during gameplay and they have to render BOTH of them at 2x the framerate which consumes literally 2x more GPU power. So lets say the game is running at native 4k 60. It is essentially a 1440p 30 fps game essentially targeting a 5 tflops GPU.

Yup, that's definitely Pixar quality.

Yeah underwhelmed as fuck and I feel like Tekken just keeps continuing down the wrong path. I remember as kid falling in love with the series due to its semi-realistic presentation with some anime elements. Now it's just straight up a fantasy fighter.
 
Jun playable or just some teaser shit and its Jin having visions again?

Cuz TTT2 Jun was such a fun character, im hoping her Tekken 8 version is close to that.

Should be playable, Fans wanted her for so long and she will be playing an important role it seems. Paul looks like shit to be honest, Karen hair.
I want to see real gameplay, it looks like a downgrade but I will not judge it yet, the stages looked really busy.

Law's character model was the only bad looking thing in that trailer. That might even be an unfinished model considering how far off the game likely is.. Everything else looked amazing especially those backgrounds and this game has to run at 60fps not an optional 60fps.
 
I wish this time instead of focusing on the Mishimas so much we could get something new and fun, like maybe Christie goes shopping and then accidentally hits Yoshimitsu with her shopping cart or something.

I think it looks old, visually. The lighting is dumb basic compared to the previous trailer, it's so obvious.

I thought the new Street Fighter was ass, this is worst, that's crazy.
 
Imagine if they brought in Kiryu-san from Yakuza for this game, he wouldn't look out of place amongst this lot!
