Tekken 8 really shaved off the extra stuff. It made it pretty glaring by comparison how much Tekken embraced the "extra" in past games. Tekken 7 was a last shot without a great budget so hopefully they take their time and load up tekken 8 with all the care, personality and features past games had and more. They sure as hell have the budget for it now.

[@LightWavess]

Considering how much work has been put into Tag 2 and how much success Tekken 7 made in comparison it's safe to assume the amount of work doesn't necessarily equals the profits. Hence why i expect T8 to be as lacking as 7 unfortunately

[@joshjones9749]

@@LightWavess Tekken 7 wasn't stripped of everything tho. One big thing I give it credit for was since they only had so much money to pour in they poured most of it into the fighting engine. For those first couple seasons...outside of a few hiccups...we saw in my opinion a close to perfect fighting system(before they added all the problem characters). I attribute T7's success to the innovations they made in the combat, which influenced its success in the pro scene, which sparked hype and excitement with the tekken world tour, which made alot of old players and new players want to play the game. They succeeded because of their innovations not because of what was stripped away.

Fun fact tekken 7 was the cold emotionless thing it was because of the poor sales of tag 2. They had the bare minimum for budget which led to them switching to unreal engine because it was cheaper and assets could be imported quickly into it. The fact that t7 did so well means they get to have the war budget again and we can get to see these type of interactions as well as a return to a decent customization again

[@chaoscontroller316]

I truly hope this to be the case. When I saw the story mode for the first time, I predicted they had some kinda budget cut but never understood why until after the fact. It makes me wonder now what Harada's "new most expensive project" will be.

I guess they wanted to get rid of any semblance of humour so as not to tarnish what (according to them) should be perceived as one of the most serious chapters in Tekken history.

[@BakingSoda4U]

@The Tyro of Toriyama I was talking about the exterior appeareance of the game's main plot: the end of Heihachi's struggle against the devil gene, resulting in his own death. Subplots or characters irrelevant to this story are not taken into account. "I doubt that the reason they removed the best parts of the series was for the sake of the best of the series" They carved their own tombs the moment they made humour an integral part of the series; they were probably looking at 80's action movies from both the west and east to get their sense of balance between serious scenes and comic relief. and I can't really say they did a horrible job, but it's sloppy at best: sometimes comedic scenes are played right before dramatic plot points in a way that feels a bit jarring. They probably wanted to avoid this at all costs with Tekken 7.

[@pauloazuela8488]

Tekken 7 feels like an open source fighting game a lot of the time. The series has so much personality, and it's obvious that a lot of that personality was lost to focus entirely on mass appeal and esports

[@sounghungi]

It probably has to do with Tekken 7 being a financial risk for Namco. It's easy to think how Tekken is doing great now but after Tag 2 and Revolution, the interest for Tekken was at an all time low. This is probably why the endings in Tekken 7 aren't even fully rendered videos.

[@bigbone_99]

@@sounghungi This. IIRC in interviews Harada said that they really had to struggle to get Tekken 7 greenlit. Especially after the commercial failure of TTT2. On top of the stripped down endings, it seems like they put their resources in the story mode to gain wider appeal, it was a heavy part of the marketing of the game when it first came out. When you think about it that way, there's good reason why they'd focus on the big thing that would get people into the game rather than smaller stuff

[@FahmiZFX]

Not really, it's mostly because the failure of Tag 2 made the budget for T7 much lower. I don't think they expected serious success with the game seeing as how Tag 2 went.

@@eisenkatsu they're not baseless assumptions, all of these assets are already made and can be ported over, they constantly repackage old animations into new dlc characters.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

The TK and VF devs made the mistake of completely focusing on the competitive aspect of their games in aspects like stage making. And that slowed down both games' evolution in the aspect of stages. A modern PS4 (and PS3 for VF) could have done much more interesting and impressive ideas, considering what Sega did in VF3 and Namco in TK4 and 5. The solution is simply make some "competitive" stages and some "standard" stages with interactions, obstacles, lots of details, etc. Creating that challenge the own devs to display complete technological evolution of their games. So those two aspects stop fighting against each other in every new release. Either that or the Smash Bros solution: every stage is detailed by default, but you can choose a "competitive" version of each one. They lose all details and objects and have a simplified background.

[@GenesHand]

@@carlosaugusto9821 That reminds me how extremely complex where the Dead or Alive 4 stages (I believe 3 and 2 Ultimate had huge stages too) like extremely big with a lot of interactive stuff, you could perform special attacks on stairs or against the wall, break walls and go do completely different sections that would make a different stage on any other game, it was so much fun.

Unfortunately those were lost due to technical issues. In order to see both Yoshis, you need to be playing on a setup running at 60 fps.

Harada once commented on how a lot of fans wrote in either to complain or question whats going on with the throw so Namco eventually decided to abandon it since not everyone plays on 60fps setup and people were way less tech savvy back then too, so it also was harder to explain.

0:33 Xiaoyu: Woah, hey! Take it easy. Just leave him unconscious. Marduk: Sorry, my bad. He's all yours now. Xiaoyu: Yay! Thanks! Jin's all mine. 😈 (High fives Marduk) But seriously, the previous games were more expressive. TMM pointed out that Tekken 5 had better facial expressions than Tekken 7.

[@andersondiazcampos8720]

You forgot the thing that you can do when you win with alissa in tekken 6, in the win animation you can press any button and it will trigger alissa chainsaws or even make her head fall

[@MrOzzification]

You can still make Alisa's head fall off in T7

[@fovos7359]

in tekken 6 she used to have more facial expressions now shes even more robotic with a blank stare

[@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM]

Also, On the earlier Tekkens, if you were Heiatchi, before the start of the round, he would sometimes, spank the opponent, over his knee.

[@SHDW-nf2ki]

Tekken 4 stags were peak but the pros whined too much

[@ryangood9158]

I love the rush hour reference with the table

[@bohdanherasymenko7569]

That chair move at 1:18 is amazing!

[@dontejohnsontheselflesssat2886]

Definitely Bryan at the very least. His old laugh made a lot of difference.

[@merimkastrat5846]

Ziaoyu getting clumsy and accidentally fell. Ground: *breaks*

[@excelsior_1448]

Yoshimitsu move where he duplicates himself was incredible back in the days✌✌✌

[@Lastjustice]

Tekken 3/Tag Yoshimitsu was the best version of him, as he just got progressively wackier with each following game. Tekken 7 has him this octopus/alien thing.

[@excelsior_1448]

@@Lastjustice totally agree my friend✌

[@Zeo1Thousand]

0:12 The timing of that missle in the background tho

[@vicpie]

1:23 T.T

[@atl-tiger-mask7391]

I miss the love in this game man! Tekken 7 fans just don’t know what they missed out on

[@elijahstar513]

Never in my life have I seen Jin actually happy. Except for those cursed smiling edits.

[@HumbleHurricane]

So awesome. I needed this this morning

[@yochithmaster333]

0:45 Yoshimitsu's Soul Stealer from Tekken 4 is the one we should see in the next Tekken game, since this turns Yoshimitsu into something like Kirby from Super Smash Bros

[@gspuag]

IMO TTT2 looks better than T7, look at jin definition and veins all over the chest and arms, everyone looks focking shiny in T7...

[@darthmisogyny3828]

Alot of the character models are recycled in T7 lol

[@kaijetsu7798]

0:38 Xiaoyu: No don't do that 0:44 Xiaoyu: YES!

[@koalawithchaingun53]

I fucking HATE how with the newer characters they don’t bother animating unique side throws. Those were such a special part of Tekken.

[@Darkchao_berserko22]

0:13 No one gonna talk about how that missile was in sync with kazuya’s gun?

[@LostCommunication1]

I'll tell you what Tekken 8 doesn't need... These 10-12 second super hyped rage looking quick time combo animations that ruin the pacing of match like in Tekken 7. You know the big elephant in the room that hasn't aged well, especially in the 20+ year veteran circles.

[@nicogaiden1498]

No

[@marcotix4]

0:13 the rocket in the background makes Kazuya look like he shot Jin! 🧐😜

[@Mjolnir_]

Holy shit, I winced when Jack just folded Law like that

[@3cks86]

0:01 Law got cracked like a crab leg 😂😂 I can't stop replaying that opening sequence, damn that was hilarious asf

[@cassandrajenkins9095]

Kazuya's was pretty badass.

[@kumaquatro2406]

I was hoping you were going to include Nina's ff2 Kano fatality. I miss that move lol

[@SSweatyPocari]

This is why Tekken 7 will remain one of my least favorite entries in the series. It's really soulless and devoid of the fun and wacky spirit that the older games had. T7 has good gameplay, but it just doesn't feel the same.

[@epicmaj8r]

Hopefully Tekken 8 brings back this kind of personality. I really miss it

[@ryantheradical]

Did I just see Jin smile for the first time?!?!

[@brandonperez8977]

Hey, he also smiled in Tekken 4

[@smavi4133]

0:19 one of the coolest moves in the entirety of Tekken, I was pissed when I realized that it hasn't been continued in later installments

[@noctsickversus9632]

Is that move present in command list? I have tekken tag hd

[@CoolyCools]

0:25 err?

Jin SMILING at his mother is the purest thing I've seen today.

Tekken 4 is a fav definitely The stage the music the atmosphere A+

[@strawhatredd9355]

The new generation of Tekken tbh 💯🔥💪🏽

[@ShadowMark3_]

Apparently during T7 development, they lost a bunch of animation. Hopefully since it was a massive success they'll remake those for T8

[@Zero254]

Guess that's why they used so much from SC5 during the arcade early versions.

[@parry3439]

actually the animations are still there. modders have even discovered older animations that aren't used in T7 to still be in the files. For example Jin's omen stance.

[@ShadowMark3_]

@@parry3439 wait, really?

[@HBROGUH]

The Jin and Jun Tekken Tag "You Win " screen is BEAUTIFULLY done. Nice touch to add that at the end. Thanks for this video, friend 🖤

[@TheSymbioteRagnoro]

Tekken isn't going to bring back creativity and personality. MASS APPEAL is the name of the game now.

[@MrNinjafreak]

The sad truth right here. Also, T7 messed up the community.
