    Tekken 8 was the most optimized game so far but I think the loading time would be longer once there are lot of assets to be loaded soon as they added more and more characters to their assets, so loading time as of now would likely be taken as a grain of salt. Overall Tekken 8 has better mechanics than Tekken 7 right now.

    • @sneikiusas
      @sneikiusas Рік тому +16

      I would disagree, loading times on PS5 can actually be faster, for example, Astro Bot pre-release and with day one patch had loading times reduced almost twice. Game is far from complete, and optimization usually is at the final stages of the game, so I actually think game is gonna look a bit better and have better loading times

      Have you seen loading times of doa (dead or alive)? There are but 2-4 seconds even for a ps4 game. So they could do better on the ps 5. Maybe if the game is fully realaesed

      adding more characters wont slow it down, its a 1v1 in the end, it only has to load 2 characters. the best part is that they haven't even gotten to the optimization stage yet

    pipping hot take, everybody got an insane upgrade on visuals and rage art, but Bryan got severely nerfed on everything
    he got insane new stuff and still feels very strong, but look at what they did to my boy.
    Nerfed laugh, nerfed taunt, nerfed mach kick, no ff3 charged combo extensions, nerfed visuals, no fullmetal limbs, no gang bandana, no military pants, rage starts with goofy ah cartoonish machine gun punches with no pushback (leroy hollywood martial arts bs) with no taunt ending, his face was fixed, but we never saw his entire face anyways
    all the visuals can be fixed with customization and rage art nobody will care after seeing it 100x times. But that laugh will be dearly missed

      Tekken 8 has a higher polygon count than Tekken 7, it's using Nanite. It has an optimized version of ray tracing called Lumen. No matter how many mods you apply to Tekken 7, you cannot possibly make it look as good as Tekken 8.

    • @thedarkbrotherhood.7248
      @thedarkbrotherhood.7248 9 місяців тому

      I don't think so. Some critics mentioned that the developers declared that they were building the game from scratch, but what we saw was the same game with an improvement in graphics and background, and this is normal given the current technical development. Even the characters do not seem flexible, as is the case in Mortal Kombat, but rather they appear plastic. I am not saying that the game is bad. But the negatives must be mentioned and players should not be deceived every time. Do not raise your expectations

      They did not lie. Jin's jab actually got new animations, his df+1 specifically. Now it actually is a proper gut punch instead of a measly jab.
      Several attacks actually has bigger hitbox as well. Lars Heat Burst was an old animation of his DEN 1+2 named Mjollnir, except it has bigger hitbox and lower position (all Heat Burst has this properties).
      Also, why bother remodelling everything when some of it works just fine?
