TEKKEN
8 Officially Announced
|
|
|
|
 At
the start of Sony's State of Play presentation today, Bandai Namco dropped the official
reveal trailer for TEKKEN 8. The first TEKKEN 8
gameplay reveal trailer features an epic battle between none other than
father and son, Kazuya
Mishima and Jin
Kazama. Producer Katsuhiro Harada confirmed that the trailer is
showing gameplay directly taken from TEKKEN 8's work-in-progress
story mode running on PlayStation 5. After watching the trailer (below),
continue reading for more details straight from the man Harada-san himself
from an interview with PS.blog, in addition to some breathtaking HD screenshots!
[UPDATE] 
Added 4K quality trailer.
Harada spoke with Sony to give us more details about what we're watching! "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."
said Harada. "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."
|
"The
Tekken series has always been known for the dramatic pre-rendered
movies from its story mode. And in addition, we also have plenty of other
exciting content from Tekken 8 we would very much like to show you.
However, for our first announcement, we chose to focus on the content that
showcases the quality of this game on PS5," Harada continued.
"In
the trailer, you can see this level of quality in the newly created
playable character models that completely sets itself apart from the
current TEKKEN 7, and in little details like how water droplets run
down the character's skin," Harada continued. "This is not
footage created solely for trailer purposes, but an actual real-time
rendering of what is happening on the game screen."
|
"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," Harada continued.
"These are all
battle stage effects to be used in this title. We are of course working
hard to enhance the quality even further. In the latest version of the
work-in-progress build, the quality is dynamically improving each day,
with the giant tanker moving closer to the shore in the background and
large flames flare up near where the character is standing. We hope you
look forward to seeing them in-game!"
