It's big hair. He's a biker that looks like he spends a lot of time in the hair salon. Nothing wrong with that but I suspect he's going against the grain of biker culture.

Hahaha, I hadn't seen in that way Rynxie, but it is totally a Karen haircut, oh boy!

As a long time Tekken fan, he looks like a trashy version of Terry Bogard from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Just unappealing art in my opinion. It's not the hair.

Besides the fact, in the preview video, backgrounds are detailed but empty. No life. No people. No birds, no crowd. Just blah. No life. Same 2D plain. With DOA and Mortal Kombat extra areas that was done years ago.

I don't know. Maybe I've grown out of seeing the same fighting games again and again. With the only difference is all the flashy effects with attacks. But not a real progression on advancing the fight engine. Please don't add VR. It's not going to help.

I think that time has its toll on me, on how i view and feel toward games today compared to when i was much younger. However, this also means we are much more refined and selective, and we can immediately spot to goods and bads in games because afterall, we've seen it all. I liked to share this piece of mind for what it's worth.

So back to the topic, i agree with you, i too feel that Tekken-8 took only couple steps forward instead of making a leap. I didn't expect a major jump in gameplay, but i hoped for a significant visual update which i don't see.

Anyway, it is what it is.

What have they done to him. All they needed to do was copy his look from Tekken 3

Paul, much like Guile has always had stupid looking hair from day one. This current hairstyle is no different.

Snookies12784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

Lol, at least Guile's hair was based off a Jojo's manga/anime character Rudol von Stroheim. So, he has an excuse...

Vanfernal784d ago

Paul's hair is based on Polnareff...

Snookies12783d ago (Edited 783d ago )

@Vanfernal - I didn't realize Paul was a similar situation. I was never heavily into Tekken, to be fair. Tekken 8's Paul doesn't look anything like it though. If that is the case.

Harada mentioned that his usual hair can be added via customization.

Astro bot at 2nd place? That's impressive

Kurisu19d ago

Purchased my copy last week!

MaximusPrime_19d ago

Great!

I bought this game at launch. Brilliant game

andy8519d ago

Been so many good deals on the console with astro included this week. Might be why. Not knocking it by that comment BTW.

ravens5219d ago

Interesting. Wonder if the narrative that this game is selling poorly is still floating around.

Abear2119d ago (Edited 19d ago )

It’s not. And it is strange to wonder about notions in people’s heads but we all have to waste time thinking about something I suppose

Silly Mammo19d ago

Playing Astro Bot right now and having a blast. Though I really hate the tiny shape levels

Relientk7719d ago

Some of the shape levels are a real pain. Legit the hardest levels in the game

badz14919d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I finished Astrobot 3 times hahaha...it's just THAT good! I finally caved and bought the PSVR (used and comes with 2 MOVE controllers and physical copy of Ark Park for $125) to play Rescue Mission and MY GOD it's an even better game! totally worth it!

P_Bomb19d ago

@badz
Rescue Mission might be my favorite PSVR game!
