Harada’s Briefing About 2023 Tekken 8 Content Quality

Today, the modern world and its changing perspectives have brought the necessity of acute analysis and the closest representation of life. In this way, realism, a modern theoretical approach, has acquired a consistent characteristic among different disciplines and domains representing life. Now people are more inclined to see things, whether in literature or a video game or in any kind of media depiction of life, as they are or at least with their closest adaptations. 

Similarly, when we talk about the Tekken video game series. We come to this point of realistic depiction as significant for the game’s popularity. For instance, how close it depicts the characters representing human traits.

On the same plane, the director and executive producer at Bandai Namco Studio, Mr. Katsuhiro Harada, explains Tekken 8 content quality based on the teaser released previously at EVO 2022.

For instance, he says that the “the newly created playable character models” entirely sets the quality of Tekken 8 to the next level as compared to the previous Tekken 7 of the series. Moreover, he notifies that minute details like “how water droplets run down the character’s skin” also add to the games’ content quality.

Additionally, he proceeded with a description of the background and some other visual effects as represented in the trailer. He notes:

“Also, if you pay attention to the background during the battle, you can see dynamic waves and tornadoes, a huge tanker gradually breaking apart, storm rendering so realistic that you can feel the wind pressure, the density of the rain.”

Towards the end of his discussion, Harada explained that all these battle-stage effects are yet in development. And the team is working on more dynamically improved effects for the game. 

Later, Bandai Namco confirmed the new features on the official site. So, for now, the players can have the news that Tekken 8 will present the “destructive and stunning visual effects” on the game stage. Meanwhile, the “moves” will add “weight and atmosphere” to the battles.

Who Will Be In Tekken 8 2023?

So the question of who will be in the new or continuing story of Tekken 8 can be answered now. Harada (in PlayStation.blog) and Bandai Namco have shared the details about the 8th plot in the Tekken series that obviously cites the name of the characters as well. 

The long prevalent story that presents the family conflicts calling in a combat for the game’s characters will reprise a similar situation as it has been declared that the new story will bring a challenging fight between father and son. So the characters Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama will continue their enmity. 

Moreover, Bandai Namco also has also been briefed about the new character models. It says that these characters are built with “high-fidelity skin and hair.” Also, the team has used “immersive graphics” like muscles that will help to present the character’s movement.
