Oh can't play online? Only 4 characters?
Okay this is kind of pointless for me. Will wait for full game.

You have no idea how fucking cool the tekken demo’s were in the playstation 1 era.

Go back to your fortnites and dlc horses..


BOOOOOOO
?
They had 2 online beta with 19 characters already, I played both . Demo without online mode and 4 characters is pointless to me at this point.
Maybe try to keep up with news next time before shit posting :messenger_ok: ?

Man. Can't wait for this game to finally release. Already preordered the deluxe edition. I remember taking a dump and a shower, and having a full meal 15 minutes before the game launched. I was just staring at the screen watching the countdown to 0 and I played the game for 6 hours straight when the game launched at 12mn.
 
While I am not sold on Tekken 8, I am going to play the demo back to back with Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag 2 on my Series S come December 21st to see if it is worth purchasing if/when the old cast resurfaces. As a Kazuya main, I am happy with the demo roster.

You guys think the collectors edition is worth it? I did buy the tekken 7 CE back then, but not sure about this, the price is pretty steep tbh.

Sanctum being one of the stages is great, that shit has good music. Weird that all of the four playable characters are old ones though, not a single new character in there?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
From 3D movement and character customization to the kyu grading and arcade scene styled single player among many features and modes (hell they even did the same uneven ground arenas then back to flats return), people lap up everything Tekken rips from Virtua Fighter while dismissing it 🙄

I don't even like fighting games that much and haven't played Tekken since PS2, but I'll probably give this a try.
