Totally agree!

Or just add in nightmare/inferno instead

my fvorite was the Tekken 3 Yoshimitsu. at least they brought it bac at Street Fighter X Tekken

​@@vikingfromnorth45A modern day Nightmare would be pretty sick, ngl.

Ehhh, some lighting looks better in certain stages sure, but overall Tekken 8 is the best looking Tekken game

@@javiusholt7142 tekken 8’s graphics looks too busy with all those special effects looking like a gay parade happening. Tekken 6 did not need that and it’s the last game with unique character models.

Nah, In 8 everybody has different features and you can even tell their ethnicities apart

Even Tekken 5 and Tekken 4 look better than Tekken 7.

Due to commercial failure of tag2.. they had very low budget for tekken 7....

Tekken 2 still looks good imo, but yeah Tekken 1 is hard to look at

So, basically what they gave Kazuya as his "victory theme" in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, where the Tekken 7 announcer simply states, "Kazuya Mishima wins" with no help from Smash Bros' own announcer?

With so many nonsense customization in T8 do we have that Chinese mustache? I would love to recreate T4 Law

😂. Accurate.

To be honest, after the (unacceptable) "failure" of TT2 with less than 2 million sells, Tekken 7 ended up with less budget But at least it's better than Namco killing off the franchise instead

Fr 😂 the failure of TTT2 that nearly killed the franchise made Tekken 7 turn out looking like that 😂😅

Kieru

I miss the "Flash Punch Combo" and "kick flurry" Kazuya win animations.

Also let's remember that those early games were yearly releases: 94, 95 and 96. That kind of effort cant be seen anymore in this industry, that is incredible the more we think about it. The arcade fg genre was on peak popularity in the 90s, totally unmatched still today, and 3d graphics were also so hyped that Namco was determined to push the investment on 3d graphics so hard that way. I mean, in the end it's still a niche genre, not the making of a new Zelda... And still Namco was working hard to make TK push the boundaries and look impressive not only in the context of the genre but in the whole gaming. (Also Sega was in a similar journey with VF2 and notably VF3, etc) The companies thought it was worth investing in fgs so hard as if they were as notable as mainstream games... put so much effort in TK3 so it shows a level of 3d refinement that serves to advertise the company's 3d tech.

But that hype cooled down after the 90s, so fgs were no longer among the preferred genres to pick a game that will be heavily invested and will advertise the company's new advancements in 3d tech. The attention then became focused on the actual mainstream franchises to be used for that goal: new games from Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, etc. Like, even SF6's standards, that are higher and past titles, are below the level of Capcom's bigger franchises. And even though T8 is showing good technical standards, they are no longer meant to match the same standards that exist outside the genre (that are higher). Because that ambition to push TK's graphics that much far dont exist anymore. Good looking fgs like TK and MK are only meant to impress and win inside the own bubble of the fg genre. That is satisfying enough to the makers.

Jack-8: _S H U T_

That's why I loved T4, if I'm not mistaken this was the Tekken with least non human chars like jacks and devils

Yes... Why everyone is comparing t8 with t7 or tag?..

Cause they had a really low budget lol

Yeah The graphics were herendous

Actually t7 budget was low af that's why

Namco staff for the first time switched to the Unreal engine that is why some base game characters' face models look worse than later DLC characters Especially comparing Zafina to Lili or asuka

@@solid7442the game switching engines wasn’t the reason itself, it’s the low budget. Converting models from one engine to another would make them look the same, other than maybe the lighting

I didn’t even realize how rough Tekken 7 looked until I saw it next to 6 and 8.

@@solid7442tekken 7 Lars was something

Then TK surpassed VF completely. Also thinking about it, who would create graphics evolution videos of VF today? There's barely any new VF content on yt... But we can find many videos celebrating TK's evolution. That also is a sign of the difference between the two games. Like, VF became sadly a low class fg franchise in terms of recognition.

Really shows how much games have improved their graphics over the years

not as beautiful as Jun😍
