Tekken 8 is INSANE

2024 has already got off to a good start for me, seeing as January saw the release of Tekken 8 - one of my most anticipated games of the year. I quickly became so hyped for this game in the lead up to its release, that I desperately wanted to discuss my thoughts on it. To get all my very positive feelings on it off my chest.
Additional gameplay by theRadBrad, Sea Leaf Dojo, Lonechambers, son_of_sparda dx, Hi! Buff Gigas Please?, Ultralight and Kaizen Gaiden.

Your enthusiasm for this game mirrors mine for Hollow Knight, it’s infectious.

As someone who has had Jin as his favorite character in the series,this story mode gave me everything I wanted for him.
It reminded me of what I loved about him as a character....his humanity.

[@WhiteDarkness3113]

I though he let go of his humanity (Tekken Bloodline) ?

[@anxhelovucinaj1576]

@@WhiteDarkness3113 ..........First off tekken bloodline is an adaptation of tekken 3,Jin's debut title.
By tekken 8 his character has gone through much more to show that his humanity is still intact.
Lastly,tekken bloodline isn't even canon because there are a lot of differences from that adaptation and the actual story of tekken 3 THE game.
The only canon thing in that adaptation (and the only good thing about that adaptation)was Jin's characterization and his relationships with Heihachi,Howrang and Xiaoyu,that's it.

@anxhelovucinaj1576 sorry about that, I guess the whole rants I've heard online about Bloodline and seeing the product myself sended me some negative option on the character (mainly from 4th the Snakes video).

[@anxhelovucinaj1576]

@@WhiteDarkness3113 nah its okay.
Plus when it comes to 4th snake's video on bloodlines,his main problems with the adaptation mainly came down to the fact that so much about it was different from how things played out in tekken 3 and how bloodlines as an adaptation could expand on it even more but it squandered that potential which was pretty disappointing.

When the Tekken OST is good you know it’s going to be an good Tekken game.

[@RE-ol5ws]

That it is.

[@sonofapirate]

Tekken one is okay game, Tekken 8 is insanely well done

Eddie Gordo fans are squealing hard on the new Heat mechanic.
