The Tekken 8 release was postponed to avoid competition with another popular fighting
Katsukhiro Harada, one of the main creators of Tekken, admitted that the eighth number of the series was postponed so as not to encounter another very popular game in the same genre.
In the last issue of his Harada’s Bar show, the Japanese creator said that about two years ago they learned that "A certain fighting" should have exit simultaneously with Tekken 8, which forced Bandai Namco to transfer its game for about six months.
Harada does not mention Street Fighter 6 directly, but taking into account his good relations with people from Capcom, especially from the Street Fighter team, this Capcom game is the strongest contender for the name of the game, which caused the internal transfer of Tekken 8.
The release of the new Tekken will take place in January, almost six months after the release of Street Fighter 6 and four months after Mortal Kombat 1 – the largest heavyweights of the genre and two very popular franchises around the world.
What for? as far as I know, we all have unique fighting.
MK has its own fan base, its own textile, where naked girls are their own.
Though MK, although popular, is, between text and spls, there is real competition, at least for the Japanese market, MK is not a strong competitor for them
For if, for example, in the same month to release two games, the players will only go on on the one that is interesting to them. This is true tactics to take both the profit from the market and not have serious competitors on the way. Tekken is a unique game of a kind, but the insurance does not hurt.
Moreover, this is how Troika Games died, and everyone remembers the fate of Vampire the Masqrade – Bloodlines. The game did not justify hopes, a lot of bugs, cut content, and the game did not work correctly correctly. But even worse, she decided to go out on the same day with Half-Life 2, they decided to fight Title, who surpassed her on sales. Everyone remembers this story, and Harada’s decision can be understood.
But the good players fell in love with the game, and they themselves finished it. So the vampires have not been abandoned in trouble, and people still play it. But on this day everyone realized that the competition would be unprofitable. But what is funny if vampires won, Steam might not be a playground. But you will not go far from only speculations, and the decision in my opinion, Harada made the right.
It is not surprising that they had transferred and that they had a good relationship, they had a joint crossover or collaboration, as correctly? It is a pity that the development was inhibited "Tekken X Street Fighter" Well, wait for Tekken 8.
Yoshinori it was teaser on Evo that the development of TXSF is in full swing
But damn it, these are completely different fans camps. This will not affect the sales of TC. Who loves this series, he will buy it despite some competitors there, because Tekken cannot be replaced – every fighting wiping is unique. It seems to me that this is just an excuse, and the problem lies in something else
Rather, so as not to take 80% of the spotlaite from Street Fighter
can we talk in English?what kind of collective farm dialect is this?either by English write (although you are most likely another Makek, who does not know him, but writing the words heard by your favorite blochers).Clown of the brain.
Well, you and the fool, of course, did not understand anything yourself, so you still chase on a person and pump something hahahaha, maybe you are a child of the collective farm? If you are already old and dumb do not need to advertise about it to the public
Boy – unlike him and you, monkeys, I know English at a conversational level.Only now explain to me,"Fool" – Why do I not insert unnecessary words from the simplest language, into English (thereby replacing existing ones)?Maybe because I am not a brainless dowry who cannot understand that nothing needs to be added to the English language – everything is already present (especially from one of the worships of the simplest languages)?I can still understand the slang (game for example), but this is what kind of vyser?
And this is what a bluish?How did you come to such nonsense at all, a boy?In this branch, I see only one stupid child, who wanted to get a bit, but I put it in the ports!Good luck there and subside before you drill more;)
