While a lot of the discussion surrounding Tekken 7 has, for better or worse, focused on the characters that will be making up its cast, Bandai Namco Games’ Katsuhiro Harada took to Twitter recently to discuss another interesting aspect of the game that has to do with its camera.
According to the longtime director, a feature is currently being developed for Tekken 7 that will allow both competitors to play on the same side of the screen. Though still being tested internally, this mirroring of the fighting plane is an interesting addition that hasn’t seen play in fighters up until now.
As a fair majority of competitors use the single-player training mode to practice their combos and such early on, this will end worries over occupying the first player position when taking part in serious matches. On the flip side, however, it also removes some of the impetus to learn strings on the right-hand side of the screen.
Obviously, this feature will only be available on setups that utilize two screens, such as head-to-head arcade setups or online matches, but it still shows the lengths Tekken’s developers are willing to go to in order to make their titles as comfortable for players as possible.
Tekken 7 is scheduled to launch in Japanese arcades sometime this March.
