The established fighting games need a shakeup - the more of this, the better, as far as I'm concerned. And I'd like to see the people who have been focused on one franchise for like 15+ years to have a chance to work on something new.

Is Tekken dead now? All the key Devs are leaving.

Loss of talent like this is rarely a good thing.

 

[DForce]

This is bad.

 

[Slothbeingg]

Nice. Fuck him. Fire Murray next please.
There is chance for Tekken 8 improve now.

Tekken making room for Virtua Fighter's glorious return.

Technically Tekken tried this and everyone hated it.

Ordinarily, I'd agree with that, but I feel like Tekken is so far gone at this point that I don't really see the harm. This would be one of those exceptions, for me at least.

I'd like to see a shakeup at Arcsys in this way. Guilty Gear (Strive) is basically a parody of it's original self, they need some new eyes on the series.

But yea Tekken is a little worn out at this point, but I feel like any game with 8 entries would be similarly so.

Wonder if Ikeda will end up with Harada again?

To be honest, I wouldn't have described him as a fighting game mastermind when he took over the reigns of Tekken.

Edit:
That's approx 5 years of experience developing fighting games, and never in a lead design role, then suddenly they make him game director.

Murray next, please GOD.

I've said stuff like this before, but i used to be a huge fighting game fan, so i can't help myself every time i see news about the series i used to love.

It costs fucking $65 to upgrade base Tekken 8 to get season 1 and 2 in their entirety, and that's with the current discount, otherwise it would be $80.

And you know there will be more.

That's crazy!

It's been too long but I think Tekken 5 DR was $30 at launch. That kind of pricing seemed fair for an upgrade and you got the whole thing. Modern fighting game pricing has lost the plot.

I fucking love Tekken, but fuck their pricing, it makes me not care. I can buy multiple discounted or indie full games for that.

Oh Bandai you better not fuck up this super iconic franchise...
