To this end, he gave the example of the Souls saga, games that he says are <strong>deliberately difficult<\/strong>, but which players enjoy playing. In this sense, users have no choice but to <strong>level up and improve their game<\/strong>. Well, this is what Harada is looking for with Tekken 8, in a nutshell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">She&#39;ll put you back in your place with a smile.<br>Xiaoyu flips the situation in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TEKKEN8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TEKKEN8<\/a>!<br><br>Join the official TEKKEN server ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yG3JKx1ETF\">https:\/\/t.co\/yG3JKx1ETF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jvMSeEXRiZ\">pic.twitter.com\/jvMSeEXRiZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TEKKEN (@TEKKEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TEKKEN\/status\/1641055163996569600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The director wants the players to feel that they are progressing at all times, that they are <strong>advancing and having fun in equal parts<\/strong>, but also that this path is not exactly easy. If you want to improve, you have to suffer. As in Souls, of course (it doesn&#8217;t fool anyone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, proposing a challenge like Souls in a fighting video game is also, to some extent, putting up barriers. The balance for new players to enter this installment is necessary, although Harada&#8217;s statements make more sense from the <strong>point of view of progression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tekken 8 remains without an assigned release date for PlayStation 5, Xbox X | S Series and PC.
