"When it comes to fighting games, fans can wait many years for a new iteration to be released. This is usually because the previous version has been given an “enhanced” release or supported through DLC over the past generation but even then for Tekken fans it feels like the wait for Tekken 8 has been quite some time. This is likely because it has been nearly seven years since Tekken 7 released on consoles and showed that the 3D fighting scene is alive and well. Now, with fans eager to see what a new iteration has to offer in terms of combat as well as perhaps seeing just where the story will go after the events of 7, has Bandai Namco managed to pull off a near perfect victory here in Tekken 8?"
Season 2 for Tekken 8 launched with drastic system-wide changes, including increased combo damage, and powerful plus-frame homing moves.
Tekken 8 Season 2 updates spark controversy with balance changes and glitches, forcing Bandai Namco to address fan concerns and restore harmony to the game.
Thanks to the PS5 console bundle, Sony's adorable platformer Astro Bot remains very high in the UK's physical games chart. It's in second place, and has been in the top three for many weeks in a row.
Tekken 8 has returned to the top 10, coming back from the dead straight to number three.
Been so many good deals on the console with astro included this week. Might be why. Not knocking it by that comment BTW.
Interesting. Wonder if the narrative that this game is selling poorly is still floating around.
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
Playing Astro Bot right now and having a blast. Though I really hate the tiny shape levels
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!
