Katsuhiro Harada, the director of the Tekken project, went to a podcast where, among other topics, he shared his opinion on younger generations of gamers.
One of the interesting points is that younger players tend to play team-based games because such titles allow them to avoid taking responsibility for the loss.
Harada thinks that such a change in attitude might lead to the evolution of the fighting games genre, as more team-based elements might be integrated into the game. He mentioned the concept of a 3-v-3 team match. Such an idea needs to be explored, but it is not necessarily bad.
With Tekken 8 being a success, who knows where the genre of fighting games will evolve?
