![]() ![]() He also talks about the state of fighting games in general and why he thinks they’re in a better place than many people think.Ĭontinue onward for the full interview with Harada along with two new exclusive screenshots for Tekken 8. ![]() Over the course of a 90 minute exclusive interview with IGN, Harada talks about working with Unreal Engine 5 discusses pressing questions about accessibility options and mechanics (though not rollback netcode, which he feels is too early to talk about), and where the story goes from here. So you can see the kind of results of the battle on the character models,” Harada says. And not just that, but when they fall down on the ground, their clothing gets dirty as a result. This is actually the first time that we're taking rain and outside effects and having that effect of rolling down the characters models. But that was just a parameter in the game in how it was displayed. “Tekken 7 had something that appeared similar that when the character fell down or during the battle, they would appear to be sweating or something. He points to the rain and sweat rolling down Jin and Kazuya’s faces, and describes how it’s different from its predecessor. He talks at length about how “all the models and everything from Tekken 7 have been totally discarded,” leaving everything to be rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 from the ground up. To Harada, the entries that have done the most to push a console’s hardware have always been the most successful. He's forced to kind of face those elements of himself, but at the same time to face part of that which is his father in this kind of showdown.”īut it’s Tekken 8’s transition to Unreal Engine 5 that has Harada most excited. So showing the chains break away is kind of showing Jin becoming free of all these things that are restricting him. This is because Jin's not only really conflicted because of his Mishima roots in the bloodline, but also Devil Gene within him and how it kind of takes control over his life. ![]() We didn't just do that because it looks cool, but there's actually very strong story elements that are tied to that,” Harada explains “This kind of chain motif has been seen in the past with Devil Jin, for example. “You can see the chain effect where it then breaks and then forms into Tekken 8 – 8 portion for the logo. ![]() Fans are speculating on the nature of the imagery peppered throughout the trailer, and Harada is happy to provide some answers while withholding others. Now we've kind of progressed down the timeline so that you're seeing the face-off again between father and son, but different characters: Jin Kazama against his father, Kazuya Mishima,” Harada says.Īnnounced earlier this week, Tekken 8 picks up one of gaming’s longest running soap operas for a new generation of consoles. Let us know in the comments what your favorite Tekken character select screen is throughout the franchise's nearly 29-year-old history as well as any roster predictions you have for Tekken 8.“Tekken 7 kind of showcased a showdown of the two Mishimas, but it was Heihachi Mishima and his son Kazuya. With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth scheduled for a late 2023 release date, Tifa would almost be perfectly timed to coincide with Tekken 8, and her martial arts fighting style would fit the series much better than Final Fantasy 15's Noctis did. On top of that, they also added 4 potential guest characters whom Kalouti has predictions for / on their wish list including Final Fantasy 7's Tifa Lockhart, Resident Evil's Chris Redfield, King of Fighters' Iori Yagami and Metal Gear Solid's Big Boss.Ĭonsidering Bandai Namco did work with Square Enix, Capcom and SNK for their crossover characters in Tekken 7, these choices aren't too far out there except maybe Chris and Snake although many fans would certainly welcome the latter if Konami is willing to play ball. My TEKKEN 8 characters prediction / wishlist! San hope you like it! #TEKKEN8 #TEKKEN #BandaiNamco #FGC /vOXnKI1bv1- Mousa Kalouti January 8, 2023 Since there's only been 8 characters announced for the new Tekken thus far between Jin, Jun, Kazuya, King, Law, Lars, Paul and Jack-8, Kalouti had to fill out the rest of the roster with previous fighters from 7 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 who are likely to return like Leroy Smith, Kuma, Yoshimitsu and more. Obviously, the blue shattered glass background has been replaced with the more fiery visuals from Tekken 8's current motifs, but we think it would probably look better with something like the chains from the trailers included too. It's pretty clear just by looking that Kalouti drew a good bit of inspiration from Tekken 7's character select screen with its layout of portraits, which isn't a bad thing at all to us. ![]()
