Tekken 8 Game Director Issues Brutal Response To Critic

4.6
Tekken 8 Game Director Katsuhira Harada had some choice words for one person who called him out on social media for the performance of his game, which is currently in a closed testing session.

The upcoming fighting game is currently in the second of its closed network tests, running from July 28-31 for players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The first test, which was for PlayStation 5 users only, ran from July 21-24. Since launching the initial test, Harada has been very active on social media, instructing test players on how to get the best performance out of the game's current test build and answering questions posed by fans of the longstanding series.

After being tagged in a tweet by one person who appears to be a tester using a PC, which claimed "your game sucks ass" along with a screenshot of the game overlaid with an error message, Harada issued a response that is generating a lot of positive buzz. "I'm sure those swear words apply to your computer as well," he succinctly put it.


What follows under Harada's Tweet is a long string of support for the game creator, from posts congratulating him on his quick-witted comeback to pleas for addition codes for the closed test and even a humorous image of a potato with various computer parts sticking out of it.


All joking aside, Harada's interaction with the gaming community seems to have been genuinely helpful over the past couple of weeks, as he and the testers have communicated openly over Twitter to suss out some potential bugs ahead of Tekken 8's eventual release. Over the course of the past four hours prior to the publishing of this article, he has been conversing with multiple players around the world regarding the stability of online matches between players in different countries and on different continents, and he even expressed surprise at one player in England complimenting him on how well the game has been performing in matches against users in North America and Asia.


With a history dating back to 1994 on the original PlayStation console, the Tekken series continues to be one of the top fighting game franchises in the world, and based on Harada's social media page—topped with a pinned tweet from last December, when Tekken 7 surpassed 10 million units sold—it's one the director is very proud of. There is no firm release date for Tekken 8 as of this time, although most estimates indicate it will release sometime in 2024.
