Avid fans of the "Tekken" franchise should be excited to hear that new and exciting features will be incorporated in "Tekken 7." Game director and producer, Katsuhiro Harada, came out after the recently concluded Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 and teased on what is coming with the PS4 version.
The producer talked at length about almost every aspect of "Tekken 7" game for PlayStation console. Previously, developer Bandai Namco revealed about the crossover of Akuma from "Street Fighter" into the upcoming "Tekken" title. The notorious brawler will not just get his moves in the fighting field, but there is more to the moves.
Harada revealed during the event that Akuma will be a central part in "Tekken 7's" story mode, according to PlayStation official blog. Apparently, Akuma will strike a deal with Kazumi to eliminate her hateful husband and son, Kazuya and Heihachi respectively. The Mishima family's story will wrap up by the end of the game.
The producer revealed that the signature super powered Rage mode attacks will return in the PS4 version of the game. These particular attacks extend into Rage Drives and Rage Art.
The Rage Drives attack is significant for gamers in a combo, helping them to increase damage. However, the Rage Art is a powerful finishing move. Gamers can utilize the Rage Art to bring down an enemy on his back, or strike hard when the enemy's health is poor.
The upcoming game will also sport a new feature called the Power Crush. It is a devastating weaponry attack that helps the gamer to complete a move when damaged. The force can potentially change the course of battle in a player's favor with some risks or rewards involved.
Fans should as well expect a mix of dynamic weather and destructible surroundings. The developer also delivered some good news to gamers that "Tekken 7" is scheduled to arrive on PS4 and Xbox One consoles besides the PC, according to Engadget. The forthcoming game will sport a gentle learning curve contrary to the previous games in the franchise.
