Tekken 8 Is Coming To Xbox Series X|S, Watch The Teaser Trailer

Tekken is one of the few game series that I will never miss an entry. Loving how good this looks graphically.

Like a Dragon: Ishin Remake is that coming to Xbox?

Update: Yes it is

Couldn't care less, and I say this as someone who grew up playing Tekken, that was a big fan of the series since it started out on the PS1. Tekken 7 ruined the series for me, they made it way too focused around the online fighting game community, same issue that I got with a lot of fighting series these days.

@JayJ truly hope they double down on online features. Praise the fast evolving online features of fighting games, without them the genre would’ve been dead for over a decade
(never forget local play is always an option)

@Zochmenos Basically, I think they copied too much influence from Capcom in a sense, the rage art is something that really threw off the pacing of the combat for me. But even that set aside, the flow is just a lot different than it was, and as someone who loved Tag 2, 7 has simply never done it for me.

To add to it though, I think they were just lazy with the single player content as well. Treasure battle felt like a poor man's ghost battle, there is no real options outside of that besides a lazy arcade mode and some store mode, and they don't have the ability to customize stage music like you could in Tag 2 as well. It's like they took a lot away from the game while making it feel like something Capcom would have made.

@Zochmenos I'd say T7 is quality from a mechanical standpoint, the fighting is top tier and plays supremely well. I don't think they did a great job with the content though. They all but did away with the traditional character specific stories you had in Arcade Modes of the past, boiling it down to a single two round fight detailing one characters interaction with another single character (and in most cases here, characters are interacting with characters they're not historically linked to, so the scenarios T7 create in this arcade mode feel strange! And don't get me started on how they try to make some of these scenarios funny, it's painful to watch.). Although I'm guessing it was a compromise for the Mishima story they implemented instead, but that leads to my other issue with T7. I don't think the Mishima story mode was any good either, in terms of narrative, game structure or payoff. I'd go as far as saying it was a failed attempt at creating an MK type story experience. Ultimately I would say T7 is an exceptional fighting game, strictly in terms of the gameplay itself, but some of the decisions made regarding content was extremely questionable. I believe T8 will be more of the same, it's clear from the end of T7's Mishima story mode that the Mishima story arc will continue.

@JayJ Sorry, just saw your comment after making mine. Didn't mean to steal your thunder there!

@Zochmenos The MK games since reboot have been fantastic and are the gold standard in the fighting genre for storytelling. I'm grateful for the reboot because I feel that's what has sparked this change we're seeing now in Tekken and Street Fighter, and how they approach narrative. Again, I think T7 failed on first attempt but hopefully it's a case of lessons learned for T8. Bandai Namco have the fighting down to an art imo with Tekken (although I will side with @JayJ and say I'm not a fan of the Rage Art/Rage Drive system. I mean I never used them so I didn't let it bother me in that sense but the inclusion of it felt a bit swagger-jackery towards Capcom and I just don't think it's an organic fit in Tekken, it doesn't feel right), they just need to make sure it's a return to form for single player content. And they are more than capable of that, you just have to see what they did with Soul Calibur 5 and you realise they still have the chops for it.

Gives me more time to 100% tekken 6
