Tekken 8 Official Thread

Picked up the base edition on CDKeys a couple of days ago and will probably grab a PS5 copy.

Game supports ultrawide and HDR natively and looks amazing on OLED. If the modders manage to kill the lighmaps and incorporate Lumen, it's going to look nuts. They're already at it:P

Lumen was disabled to provide stable 60fps on all platforms but I've already seen the comparison between the reveal trailer's supposed story mode sequence and the intro between Kaz and Jin on the same stage and it's damn close considering, bar the ridiculous post processing and animations that aren't there anymore. The models look super good, it's the baked lighting vs Lumen and particles that make the difference but performance and clarity take priority in a fighting game so I get the change. We'll see how it looks in story mode.

Would've forgotten but the flexing and veins popping out happens in real time as well, look at Kazuya's arm:D It's just too fast to notice normally and tested on a different move but it's actually pretty insane seeing as no one will ever pay attention to it during gameplay:p

And Devil Jin concludes all the 32 character trailers with his insane moveset.



Review embargo has also been lifted and the game is getting universal acclaim with 9s and 10s everywhere. Good times for the FGC:)

Wouldn't expect too much discussion, FGs aren't too popular around here and those who are interested are probably either playing or busy with work.

All of my Steam friends waited till midnight to have a go and players overloaded the servers:p

I don't have much to say myself since I'm overwhelmed with the content and the changes on my characters, and even if I wanted to discuss those, 95% of people here won't understand wtf I'm on about so... There's so much to go through that I haven't even touched any of the modes, story etc. since I'm just sitting in practice having fun with the new options.

Plenty of traffic in dedicated communities and on other forums, though.

This. I played for about 40 minutes then been busy since. Be lucky if I get to play more today.

Had a lot of fun though. Certainly much better than Tekken 7.

Had one match online and won both times against the same guy. Though was close on the second match. Hopefully the ranking system is good as it is fun when you are matched with players of similar skill. I don't mind losing when I was close to winning. That's a fun game. But playing against someone I could never beat is just boring.

Keep at it, there are many pretty ridiculous players in ranked now since everyone is starting from scratch but it should even out once they climb, a week or two tops and you should get more even matches.

I'm pretty rusty myself after the long-**** break and even back then I wasn't that good.
Played ranked on PS5 for a bit and got into yellows but too tired now, will probably play on PC tomorrow. Should be better once I start using my characters but I'm playing the coffee lady for now:P
