What started as a fued between father and son, has now escalated to a full blown war that will effect all of humanity. Thank you, Mr. Cox, for summing up this crazy ass story.

This actually feels more like a father/son cycle of revenge within the Mishima household (starting with Jinpachi being deposed by Heihachi), with both the Hachijou and the Kazama matrilineal bloodlines creating complications for this cycle of revenge. Let's not forget also that there have already been two wars in Tekken 6 and 7.

Technically jin has never actually killed anyone except the ogre (and maybe heihachis soldiers but he was the devil at that time) so jin still has a pure soul (kinda)

[@KalvinEllis]

Let's be fair, that's a detail we all wish to forget. Though as we know, it's not ignored in the actual story mode. That's the very first thing Kazuya(of all people) throws in Jin's face when they first meet.

​@@KalvinEllisyeah I can't forget it too lol

The more T6 story is ignored the better lol

Been playing since tekken 2 and this been one hell of a ride, I don’t even play just for the game but the storyline. This is one of the best storylines in the history of fictional storylines the day they give us the animated series we deserve will be the day I cry tears of joy 🥲

[@andyw8009]

Wow, first time ever I got to know the story behind Tekken. Pre ordered Tekken 8 and so looking forward to that!

Having Logan Roy recapping the Mishima family history is the perfect mashup I've never knew I needed.

the Mishima saga is engraved in my soul. been a fan of Tekken since 1. we had a stand up arcade cabinet in my corps school lobby back when i was in the Navy in '95. then, i had a PS1 and had me a copy of 2. i remember playing the cabinets of 3 and 4, then getting 5 on the PS2, 6 on my PSP, and i played 7 here and there on my friends systems. now we have a worthy conclusion in 8.

[@rahadianaryo5979]

Well said about this...😏 So it's looks like the *tragedy of Mishima-Hachijō-Kazama's bloody feud* will finally enters one fateful conclusion in the "Tekken 8 👊🔗" game right now...

[@0626polyboy]

I came in number 2 !! ❤

[@videovagrancy8526]

Having Brian Cox go through the history of the Mishima family war somehow makes this while thing less insane and ridiculous. Looking forward to the new game! :)

[@cldpt]

gotta love a story which not only is convoluted, but also ignores the other dozens of fighters

[@thestanlibtims]

Interesting fact: Brian Cox gave a voice of Lionel Starkweather aka Director in Manhunt from Rockstar games. He voiced brilliantly, have to give him credit

I want torrents of gore, Cash, TORRENTS! I don't wanna be able to see you for the blood!

[@tonysoldan]

Much appreciated. Brian Cox’s narration captured the essence of Tekken perfectly. A serious vendetta between fathers and sons with a pinch of comedy here and there.

[@daneyal7162]

I would never imagine that I would hear Brian Cox narrate the story of Tekken, but here we are. Thank you, entertaiment!😊

[@carsonjamesiv2512]

Mr. COX is a GREAT ACTOR!

[@ofcatarina]

What a surprising but brilliant casting. We've all seen game companies hire celebrities for this kind of thing before but it usually reads as a phone in. He clearly has respect for the gig he was hired for and it shows. I hope Brian was paid well for this and is generally appreciated.

[@Low_commotion]

He's channeling his inner Tim Curry. I hope he does more tongue-in-cheek rolls like this in the future.

[@ladylaylowjk]

His payment: TK 8 deluxe version.

[@Benefits]

I haven't played Tekken since Tekken 3 in the arcades but after watching this I am back on the train. This was incredible.

[@twall91]

You’ve been missing out dude. Tekken hasn’t stopped being phenomenal. They’ve just gotten better and better every iteration. Easily one of the most consistent fighters out there.

[@4.0.4]

Me too, got kinda interested now that some lead dev pissed off the woke crowd. Checked out Tekken 7 and the controls feel pretty natural.

[@jasonmillsom2981]

I can recommend those fighting art like videos, where people make the fights beautiful with perfect parrying

[@ralphlaurensison6843]

I Suggest you watch the video titled "The Insane Lore Of Tekken" one of the best videos that explains the main lore of tekken exceptionally well

[@BlaccGeezuss]

this help me finally understand the plot of the game and it was done so well

[@chinakairoegbu7449]

Wow! A narration of Tekken history from Brian Cox?! Nice! Very nice!! 👍

[@QT-jw6dx]

Seeing the old tekken games brings back so many memories😭

[@Guras_bumhole]

Hey old man you shat your drawers today

[@nerucheung]

I wonder how many times Brian Cox had to laugh at the script with the cliffs 😂

[@patrickkibombwe3174]

I definitely wanna buy this game now. Beautifully put together video 😍👏👏👏

[@blairbrown4812]

As far as home stretches go, Brian Cox has got some of the best of the lot

[@prosciuttowithdasauce8440]

Brian Cox has my respect he pronounces these guys names better than any streamer or any person that I know he broke down the story especially for those who never played I’ve always played with my uncle

[@gc3k]

Japanese is becoming so mainstream that Westerners are paying more attention to the language's intonation

[@epyonsystem1869]

Bamco literally hired him to a read a script, pretty sure they explained to him how its pronounced

[@silverreaps6803]

@@gc3k he's literally a professional, they obviously told him how to pronounce some words

[@VoidBastard]

Funny you said with your uncle that's how I first played tekken when I was 4. He had a playstation and tekken 3.

[@cvo7617]

He's reading a script if your a grown man & don't realize he's doing his job that's sad

[@geedigital]

What an epic move by the Tekken Team to get a legend such as Brian Cox to not just show up, but commit and drop a fantastic recap. Bravo!
