12.14 million video games were sold across European markets, a drop of 7.3% over the same period the year before, GSD data reveals.
Tekken's fierce old man, Heihachi Mishima, is back with a vengeance in Tekken 8. However, his return seems to be a forced move, which breaks the story beats established in Tekken 7.
When did Tekken ever make any sense? That's why we love it. Come on now. Mokujin? Roger? Kuma? Panda? Gon? Alex? Jack? Demon characters? Death, life, death and life again? Azazel?
Heihachi coming back ain't no thang but a chicken wang. Was probably hanging out at the ghost bar with Bison having drinks. Seems they must have run up a tab and need to make some tournament money to pay it off. Because they're both coming back to their respective games.
exactly, fighting games for me don't require a story or explanation why a certain character is in the game. If they manage to make a cool story, it's just a bonuns but there's no way that should prevent fan favs from rejoining
It is anogher example that proves that company have no balls to actually end people or stories
Fr, like if Nintendo killed off Link and you played the next legend of Zelda game as someone else. That would take balls and would definitely make the game better.
That would require breaking the cycle of reincarnation, though.
Not sure how they'd pull that off. Link, Zelda, and Demise are tied together by fate, across lifetimes.
Bunch of tekken characters have died (from what we know) and even if they are dead in the lore u can still bring them as playable characters.
It's Tekken. The story never made sense. What we can rely on is that every character that gets thrown off a cliff or into a volcano never actually dies.
Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is the second best selling game of 2024 in the UK, behind Helldivers 2.
It's the 2nd best selling NEW(2024 release) game of 2024. 10th best selling game of the year. Writer got confused by the wording.

Still good sales though.
I saw a comment below about the $10 upgrade deal. If these counted as sales it be number 2 for the year. I forgot about that.
Disregard my comment. It's 2nd in the UK and 10th in all of europe. Gotta stop rush messaging during work
Is there a way to delete your own comments?
Yeah this is due to how good the first game was.. a lot would have been disappointed in this game with it's direction
I've got part one for ps5 just waiting on part two to be a little cheaper. Great game , and series.
Same here! Parts I & Part II are awesome. Yes, I was a little annoyed by what happened to Joel in Part 2, but I think that made the progression of the story better. No matter what the haters say, the game is a masterpiece. I also plan to replay part 2 on the PS5 version when it goes on sale.
So those fans who love part one and dislike part 2 are now hatets? I am sorry that some gamers demand that the game treat it's story and characters according to the boundaries the game itself set in the 1st game
No one has a issue with Joel being killed within the story people have issue with the way they handled it. But like you said it's a masterpiece and we are just haters because that's fits the narrative better
1st game is a true masterpiece and doesn't need a sequel (for me personally) just like RDR is a perfect game for me and doesn't need a sequel
To each their own
@neutral
"..some gamers demand.." oh..so the writers should follow according to what "some of these gamers demand" ?? Ooh boy..God forbid a story created by the writers themselves be demanded to follow what gamers want.
"No one has an issue with joel being killed"
Im sorry but 80% WAS the reason for Joel being killed off.
"1st game is a true masterpiece and doesnt need a sequel"
Imo i do agree with this though..
As someone who prefers physical. Yes damn right I want the ps5 version. It isn't your money. Relax dog
I paid a small amount to get the best version of an amazing game and did my 3rd playthrough. I'm fine with my choices.
And what's a reremaster?
I think you're getting confused with Part 1.
Why would I buy the old, outdated version of a game I've never played? lmao.
Because there's no possible way anyone who bought it was getting it for the first time, right?
I didn't see the need to buy the PS5 version of the game because a 60 fps patch was already out on PS4. Hopefully the people who got the remastered version found some value in it.
If im not mistaken, there's also a 4k patch to it? Along with the other mode, i forgot. Too bad i was actually looking forward to factions 2.0
The 60fps patch in the PS4 version lacks the 4K res and additional texture upgrades.
The biggest upgrade of remastered version over original is it loads much faster and the 4K fidelity mode is insanely crisp and pristine.
The greatest series of games for me. And i dont say that lightly, some of the biggest titles to ever grace the screen are right up there but I thoroughly enjoyed TLOU1&2
Update 1.06 for Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken 8 will add a Photo mode to the game, though it won't come with any balance changes.
The Last of Us: Part II Remastered best selling game of the month. PS5 sales up as well, other systems are down.
