Tekken 8

It's coming.

Not fan of Tekken gameplay, but its high-level gameplay is fun to watch, so I wonder how new game will be different compared to the last one.

I'm pretty much "over" most fighters these days. Outside of Mortal Kombat because I really like the lore, but all the others I played so much of back in the day and the sequels don't add that much new stuff or characters I care about. I also can't get that involved in the gameplay mechanics of each fighter anymore.

Also locking most characters behind DLC has pretty much killed it for me too.

Well, you either get 60 characters on launch, but the game is junk and buggy mess or uses assets from previous games without anything new to add or you wait for several years for characters and balance patches being released in pieces.

I am OK with a latter, since fighting games benefit from this tactic. Because, an opposite would have been waiting for several years for a sequel or buy an updated re-release (SF4 - Super SF4).
