Tekken 8 will also be among the first if not the first new fighter to use Unreal Engine 5 even though the project did begin development on Unreal Engine 4 before getting shifted over. Harada's statement obviously doesn't mean that PC still won't be the the optimal way to play once the game is actually released, but it's nice to hear that he doesn't think the PS5 and Xbox are lagging behind in terms of horsepower.

This sentiment is interesting to hear considering Tekken 8 is the first major fighting game to completely ditch the PlayStation 4 in order to solely focus on the next generation, making it in some regards the first true next gen AAA fighter. So that's why I said it's unfair that the consoles are that good at that price point.' So one of the things that's quite surprising was just how capable both consoles are for such a low price point compared to building a PC. So for me, building a tricked out PC and having that graphical edge or performance edge to play a game is always something that I like to experience.

'It's unfair that they're so capable…I'm a huge PC gamer,' said Harada via IGN. And luckily for all of them it sounds like the newer hardware should hopefully provide a worthy experience with Tekken 8 Executive Producer Katsuhiro Harada feeling the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are unfairly capable compared to PCs for the price.ĭuring his recent interview with IGN about the newly announced game, Harada was asked what it's been like to work with the newer consoles compared to each other and PC, and this is what he had to say.
