Tekken 8 Fighting Game Wish List

gamerant.com:

The next iteration of Tekken has arrived with Tekken 8, and fans are buzzing with excitement. After spending an entire console generation with Tekken 7, many players are ready for a change. Tekken 8 intends to deliver with some of the best-looking fighting game action possible on modern hardware. The game’s first trailer was somewhat vague and lackluster, but a surprise appearance leading a State of Play presentation has the fighting game community desperate for more. With the confirmation of Kazuya and Jin's conflict coming into a climactic focus, there's a lot to look forward to in this new martial arts experience from Bandai Namco.

Apart from the confirmation of Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, a stage with dynamic background elements, a story mode, and the usual great Tekken music, not much is known about Tekken 8. A lot of elements go into making a fighting game successful, and Tekken 8 trailers that show off exactly what’s coming to the new game are probably several months away. With The Game Awards at the end of the year and the next Tekken World Tour Global Finals in early 2023, there are still plenty of places where more footage of Tekken 8 could manifest. There’s no rush, especially considering that this game will need a lot of care and effort to compete in the increasingly competitive fighting game space.

The first request on many Tekken 7 players' minds is high-functioning rollback netcode. Tekken 7 technically has rollback netcode already, but the way it's implemented makes it difficult to notice and essentially useless. It's a testament to how many players enjoy the game that its online modes are still populated even after all this time.
