How long untill Tekken 8 become "dead"?

[nurlan2007944]

Title. I'm not trolling or anything. How long will the game stay populated and then be left behind by most players? My prediction is 3 months, then it will be around 10.000 players / day

Mortal Kombat 1 - 38.000 players on release - 1.800 now - 4 months
Street Fighter 6 - 70.500 on release - 20.000 now - 8 months
Tekken 7 - 18.500 players on release - 1.200 players now - 7 years
Tekken 8 - 50.000 players on release - 30.000 players now - few days passed

P.S. I'm talking about Steam only

so far tekken 7 player count didn't drop much. it was 3k-4k, now 2,3k

that's because tekken 7 is much better. game feels more like a fighting game and it's much more fun to play as you're not constantly being juggled and can actually play the game

Cross-play, bruh. Steam will exist as it always does as evidence through T7. It'll never be a discord fighter.

I can't think of anything worthwhile in this world that doesn't require time and effort.

dead already

What would you even consider "dead" in a fighting game. As long as there is one other player in queue you'll get a match.

I'd say a few months.

Comparing Tekken 7s numbers now to launch is stupid because Tekken 8 is already out, so obviously the game is going to have way less players.
Tekken 7 was around 4-6k players all the time for the majority of its lifespan.
And with that amount the game was more than playable for its entire lifespan.
Fighting games don't need massive amounts of players to do well. You only need 2 people to have a match after all.

I guess there's many people that think a game a dead unless it has over a million players at all times.
There's people that say dota 2 is dead and there's 500k people online right now.
Can't take these discussions seriously at all and I can't take people that call games dead seriously.
Even games like UNI or Melty who have so few players online that steam doesn't even shows it, aren't dead.
I was still able to easily find matches in those games and if I wanted more there's no shortage of discord communities to have sets.
Fighting games aren't like mobas or battle royale games where you need alot of people to just have a single match.

Guy who doesn't own the game and spends weeks on the forum telling others to stop having fun is talking about coping.
Alright bro, I think you need help.

Also, you can't argue because I am right, which is why you come with petty insults instead of arguments.

That's what you say when you've nothing. kekw

It's got better player numbers than 7 did and it has better netcode, so 8 is going to last for a long time.
People talking about a game being dead with a daily peak of 3k players aren't used to fighting games, keep in mind that the daily peak isn't the same 3k players every day, and matches are 1v1, meaning a thousand players stretches way farther for a fighting game than it does for, say, a battlefield type game with 32v32 or even 64v64.

Give people actually a chance to enjoy of this game, and do not force stupid casual awesome buttons into the game.

Make heat/special style/rage arts/joggling etc. toggleable in match making. This way people can pick and chose features they want, and we old school get Tekken 1/2/3 back with modern graphics and animation, new basic moves.

Yeah, no joke. The amount of time it actually takes for quick match is actually concerning - sometimes upwards of 5 minutes.

So far I’ve seen consistent 30k players during weekends. I feel player retention will be pretty good for this one.
