Tekken 8

VF3 was a step down? Man that game has sloped stages - in a 3d fighter! And I remember it looking absolutely phenomenal.

But yeah it did feel slower than VF2.

Also after you all have given me hope, I’m coming round each of your houses this time next year for stern words if VF7 hasn’t been announced.

STERN WORDS.

"Packs a punch"

min req GTX1050Ti 8gb RAM Core i5 6600K

Yeh prob the worst reveal other than the unique intro with Hwoarang.

I think they saved some time and money by sampling some lines from a Guy Richie film for the voice

Single player demo is up on PS5. I think other formats are coming later for some reason.

One Punch Man, indeed.

I mean you can get quite far in most fighting games if you can nail a solid combo with good damage when you notice that your opponent makes a mistake. Also announcing that your using modern controls seems to enrage a fair amount of the FGC online so they're going to play cocky.

I think it varies depending on which direction you press in conjunction with the action button, so I think you should have enough to mix things up. I think, anyway. I had 40 minutes on the arcade mode, which seems really cool, and then farted about for five minutes Vs CPU.

You can also toggle spanner mode on and off on the fly unlike SF6, so you can control normally and then turn it on if you want to go for the big bonk combo you keep missing.

One thing that I dont think comes across well on youtube is how good it looks. Its very sexy. The music seems decent, too, although, again, Ive been playing a lot of SF6 and its soundtrack is woeful. 

The heat mode will take a bit of getting used to. You get an ultra instinct bar where you briefly power up once per round, do a lot of chip and get an enhanced special. You can combo into it and some moves activate it on hit so I kept going into it by accident.

But, overall, I had less than an hour but its sold me on a day one purchase

It does look very sexy, this is true. I dunno how to feel about them going all in on the OTT anime direction for the story, but it has been that way for a while. Still, what's there is ridiculous and bombastic that makes for a decent opening. The Arcade Mode is something I've wanted from VF to have elaborated on, right down to the story being you looking to climb up the ranks as a pro player challening people at arcades and tournaments, earning fight money to customise characters. It's wild, the game mode helps teach some mechanics which is appreciated. I have this urge when I'm playing to just be able to pick up the moves quickly and pull off some wall carrying combos but I'm not at that level and have to remind myself it's gonna take a while to learn one character nevermind 32.

But yeah, it's gonna be a good game. If they do manage to get Tifa as a guest character, as heavily requested, I'll be loving it.

Lol

God for a minute I thought he was announced as a guest character. Rage Art of him yelling "FUCK OFF"

If you look at his CV, I think he has always been of the Michael Caine school of 'its a job and jobs pay money' school of acting.

Intro movie with the confirmation of the first Season 1 DLC guest character.

Keep coming back to the demo. Had a brutal work day, so ended up playing a few CPU matches to unwind ... 2 hours later xD

Runs fantastic, feels great. Really looking forward to launch now. The story looks like the sort of utter OTT nonsense I'll likely enjoy too.
