Are you kidding? Yakuza Ishin coming to the west? Stellar Blade? Rise of the Ronin? Synduality looks interesting too, and the God of War trailer of course.
Tekken 8 was huge, but it's also multi-plat. GoW, we already knew about it, and I was going to buy it anyways. Stellar Blade is something I'd check out on sale, if it had great reviews. And for Rise of the Ronin, I've played so many Team Ninja games(most of them actually), and I just...always lose interest. They're decent developers, but ever since the beginning nothing they've put out has truly gripped me to the point where I would say it's a great game and recommend it to others. Save maybe for the original Ninja Gaiden, that was such a blast on Xbox. But yeah, oh yay, another open world samurai game lol. I'd rather just replay Elden Ring. Then again, I'm just really disappointed with gaming in general this year. Other than Elden Ring, the best game this year for me has been Cult of the Lamb, and as good as that was, it's buggy as hell with regular lock-ups and crashes. That's really saying something.
"This trailer was actually taken directly from a certain part in the current work-in-progress Tekken 8’s story mode, played on PlayStation 5. In other words, all the character models, backgrounds, and effects are the same ones that are used in-game. Although this was captured from the story mode, it is not a pre-rendered movie made for the trailer but rather real-time rendered footage, running at 60 frames per second, similar to how you would experience the game in versus battle modes."
This game looks really really good. I haven't purchased Tekken game in a long time because the game has always felt like it has developed only incrementally. But this looks like a major step forward graphically!
Stunning, and running on a PS5 so even if the gameplay isn't 1:1, then at least the visuals are. I'm hoping the part where they speak a line to each other at the start is hinting towards them copying MK intros, those add a lot of fun interactions between characters who normally don't interact with each other. Hope to see more at TGS.
This looks awesome. Been years since i properly played a Tekken game, as a kid i loved Tekken Tag on the PS2! Will be glad to come back to the franchise on PS5 again :)
This was the only good thing of the whole thing.
I hope there's some guest characters like 7 had. And my boy Tiger Jackson makes a return.

When they started fighting immediately with the same graphics, I was like oh shit! Looks really good
SF6 and T8 both look great. We are being spoiled for fighting games in 2023.
