Harada’s Take on Limited Interest in Tekken Classic Collection | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

Katsuhiro Harada, a prominent figure in the Tekken series, has expressed skepticism about the demand for a classic Tekken collection. His perspective is that while there is a dedicated fan base for Tekken, the interest in a classic collection might not be significant enough to justify its development.

Key Points from Harada’s Perspective:

Perceived Interest: While Tekken has a rich history and a substantial following, market analysis suggests that the interest in revisiting older titles is not as strong as some might assume.
Focus on New Content: The focus on new installments like Tekken 7 shows the game developers' priority towards innovation and engaging with newer gaming experiences within the franchise.
Community Feedback: Although nostalgic fans appreciate older games, the broader gaming audience tends to lean towards new content.

Context:

The Tekken series has evolved significantly since its debut in arcades in 1994. Over the years, it has built a substantial following due to its deep combat mechanics and engaging storylines. However, as with many long-running franchises, balancing nostalgia with innovation is a constant challenge.

Do you believe that 2D games age better than 3D games?

Being entirely honest, I would be on board with any tekken game that didn't do season passes and DLC. :) The classics were great, and the newer games are fun too, and I'd still be playing the new games if not for that.

That said, I'd love a modern tekken 3 - I'd even be fine with a reskin of 8 that had those characters looking like they did (why not, maybe some extra ones too), volleyball, force mode etc.*

There's interest from me if they don't paywall stuff in what's already an expensive game. :)

*i know my "just a reskin of 8" clashes directly with adding game modes, but I think I'd like them in there if it's a hypothetical remake.

Its just crazy to me how studios make decisions that interest isn't there when customers have been saying if DLCs and season passed were removed there would be a lot more people buying the product. I know I'm tired of the idea currently being pushed that we don't own digital games. Like, I purchased it for the same amount I would have for the physical copy, get your greedy ass fingers off what I've already bought.
