"When it comes to fighting games, fans can wait many years for a new iteration to be released. This is usually because the previous version has been given an “enhanced” release or supported through DLC over the past generation but even then for Tekken fans it feels like the wait for Tekken 8 has been quite some time. This is likely because it has been nearly seven years since Tekken 7 released on consoles and showed that the 3D fighting scene is alive and well. Now, with fans eager to see what a new iteration has to offer in terms of combat as well as perhaps seeing just where the story will go after the events of 7, has Bandai Namco managed to pull off a near perfect victory here in Tekken 8?"
Bandai Namco has also revealed that the Tekken 8 Season 1 second character will be Lidia Sobieska! Check out the Season 1 trailer.
Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed the Tekken 8 roadmap for free updates coming this 2024 and it includes a free new map and more.
Fahad from eXputer: "Bandai Namco has been banning excessive rage quitters in Tekken 8, but their solution doesn't punish those who don't rage quit as often."
This "issue" has been blown way out of proportions. I have never seen someone rage quit on anyone that i've watched and i personally have maybe close to 200h in myself and this has never happened to me. Sure if they can make it like MK great but this is such a none issue imho.
Your experience is nothing compared to the information they will have on disconnects, so if they say it is an issue you will accept that it is an issue that needs to be dealt with.
I'm ok with banning serial pluggers in ranked matches. But what I would like to see happen instead is to put people with higher than acceptable disconnect percentages into matches with other pluggers until they stop disconnecting. Let the pluggers play together in separate lobbies until they learn to lose gracefully.
As well as the measures they have implemented why can't they just seamlessly change the inputs from player to AI player so the player can continue the match and still recieve the match points.
