Digital Foundry Breaks Down Tekken 8

Tekken 8 marks a great technological leap for Tekken 8. The previous title came out just a few years after PS4 and Unreal Engine 4 came into existence. The Tekken team had to switch from their own engine over to something completely new and different, and the issues that stemmed from it were rather obvious.

SoulCalibur 6 that came out later was already showing big signs of improvements. It was almost like looking at the difference between Tekken 2 and Tekken 3. Same engine, only a short time difference, and yet it looked so much nicer and ran so much smoother.

Tekken 8 obviously wowed everyone with its visuals, it's a gorgeous and incredibly detailed game, but does it hold up on the technical side? Well, few people are more competent in judging that than the experts over at the Digital Foundry.

Their video on Tekken 8 does an excellent job of underlining the technological achievements of the newest title. From smooth performance and overwhelming detail, to more minute elements, like the input delay and implementation of different antialiasing and upscaling options.
