In the latest issue of PLAY magazine (issue #27), Tekken franchise boss Katsuhiro Harada mentions that it’s the PS5 SSD (solid state drive) that’s proving to be the game-changer for the new generation of consoles. Given it helps put people into matches way faster than your standard harddrive, this means that gamers can get into rematches much faster. According to Harada, “That’s probably even the biggest thing that’s gonna evolve the player experience in the game.”

Mind, this isn’t to say that Tekken 8 isn’t taking advantage of the added horsepower of the new consoles, as the various gameplay clips we’ve seen so far indicate that it has an added layer of sheen and better overall graphics compared to to its last-gen predecessor, Tekken 7.

In other Tekken 8 news, Harada also confirmed that rollback netcode and crossplay will be available in the fighting game. No word yet on a release date, but Bandai Namco Entertainment has confirmed that it will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

SSDs, especially NVME, are fast and nobody likes loading screens.
2015 wants its news back.

This makes sense, as every match making might change stages, SSD help a bit for loading the asset. However the biggest bottleneck is still the internet

That "site" sourced us but they pretty much copy and pasted what I wrote (word for word, even). Insane how some people (not you OP) think this is OK. I mean, all sites need pageviews and this essentially robs the people who worked for the news (me, the site) of pageviews. Just shitty to be honest.

EDIT: This was for the other thread that cribbed the article.
