"Tekken" is still popular in arcades
"Tekken 7" has been out in the arcades for two years before its home release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. According to GameSpot, the games extended stay in the arcarde, might have affected its console release.
Why? several reasons were given by the Bandai Namco Studios in Tokyo, Japan:
- The prolonged, progressing period impacted the game's overall visual presentation and technical performance.
- Nothing beats months of real-world testing in Japanese arcades to see if a game's mechanics are robust.
- The refinement of the latest's installment's online multiplayer netcode, as well as the game's new features such as the ability for players to choose which side of the screen they prefer to play on, were factors effectively implemented in the arcade market. The player's perception of the game differs depending on the gaming platform. Playing online at home with a console versus paying each time you play in an arcade gives different gaming experiences.
