Very happy for namco and harada san. Warner stay losing!
Why not?
In the grand scheme of things those are negligible numbers when they plan to sell a couple of million on consoles. Warner might end up selling more than tekken on pc even if they release late.

Don't be silly.
The only PC FGs that have a good playerbase are the ones with crossplay i.e SFV. T7 has a similar count to SFV and that game is pretty dead if you turn off PS4 crossplay. For Honor is the healthiest PC FG by far and even they pale in comparison to console.

Well, on PC is where you could conceivably achive the lowest input latency, highest frame rates, and best graphics.
Of course in practice, only a few games in the genre manage to actually take any advantage of that.

Wow, really puts things into perspective. Tekken's a beast.

Highest frame rates? You obviously don't play fighting games.

No shit it's the launch period lol
Yeah let's leave out all the cons of fighters on PC aswell compared to consoles and the pros to playing fighters on console compared to PC
pretty done

KoF launching a year late @ 60 LOL
Guilty Gear has never been popular over here on any platform, and they chose to release the same time as Tekken
Glad to see Namco rewarded when doing it the right way.

I love Pokken!
For Honor is considered a fighting game?
No shit its launch period but it also means something when no other fighter has (besides for honor if you count that) managed to get the same numbers in the history of PC fighters even during their "launch period".

Good for them. I'll wait until they fix a few things before I double dip.
Really wish they would/could implement cross play.

I'm very curious to see where we land 2 weeks after launch. No doubt it is selling decently, here's hoping the community sticks around.

It's almost the same as SFV and way below For Honor. Without crossplay it's still nowhere near good enough for getting online matches quickly.
Well, Tekken didn't take a nearly 10 year break. Between 3rd Strike and SFIV, Tekken 4, 5 and 6 came out.

That's really, really damn impressive. I thought it would be way lower as it has no crossplay.

Wait for the peak. America is still asleep.
There is also this weekend.
Game could top out at 25k
And that is significantly above 13k
About double
I'm surprised too. Basically it's a new "Dark Souls is JRPG" thing.
This has a lot to do with it I think. Im running a 2500k & GTX 1070 and I'm still able to max it and get a solid 60fps. Techno wizardry

What a compelling argument.

Looking good but we will see if it stays that way. If it does stay populated around the time ARMS comes out I am going to have a hard time choosing which of the two to buy.

How are Dead or Alive 5's numbers? Since there is a free version I would think that would be a low barrier to people trying it.
Yeah just like Smash.
SFs came out. They were just EX, crossovers and a ton of revisons of older titles lol.
Nah, it still sold well for a fighting game on PC, and it'll be around for years to come.
SFV has also crossplay with console anyway.
But nice to see Tekken doing really well.
Almost max 4k is even possible with your setup.

Solid 60 is higher than dips to fifties.

I'm so happy to see this because:
1) it's an amazing in depth game
2) NAMCO put work in giving us a full game not a shell of a game
I played for the first time in a long time last night, loved the Japanese-ish story line.
Also the game-play is the best it's ever been. The faster game-engine/gameplay makes the game sooo much better.
Great job NAMCO.
Not true at all. SF4 still has an active community and is easy to find games. That's SF4. I believe they only average around ~1k players daily now too. It's all time peak was only 5k or so.
SF5 with crossplay turned off is even easier to find games. It's not even close to dead.
Mechanically it features:
- Light Attacks
- Heavy Attacks
- Combos
- Link Attacks
- Guards
- Throws/Guard Breaks
- Parries
- Character types like grapplers and zoners
- Stances
- Poison/Bleed mechanics
- Chip damage
- Super armor
- Knock downs
- Ring outs
It doesn't have the same camera setup, lets you move more in 3D, and lets you play modes beyond 1v1 dueling, but I don't see how the core genre isn't there.
Like I don't see many people arguing The Witcher and Skyrim aren't WRPGs because they don't feature an isometric perspective, because that's not the defining characteristic here.
Your specs are solid lol.. you can prob run it at 4k. I've seen people post on steam / reddit that they can run tekken 7 with medium settings on a macbook pro with an integrated graphics card @ 60 fps

For Honor absolutely is a fighting game. I don't know why anyone would consider any different. Because it has big team, shooter type modes?
MKX had a garbage PC port for the longest time.
The game that sold over 40 millions copies on consoles up till this point gets its first release on PC, and now all of a sudden PC is the BEST place for fighters. It wasn't a very compelling statement to begin with, hence LMAO.
Until PC can have sustained/higher numbers for fighters over their console counterparts, and actually get every major fighter released to it (MKXL), his statement will remain uncompelling.

Game was amazing when it's not disconnecting middle matches.
