8 Video Game Trailers That GO HARD

8. Paul Pheonix Reveal - Tekken 8

Now to be honest the very announcement that Tekken 8 was even coming out was a moment that went truly and utterly hard, seeing as the fighting video game community has been licking themselves raw in anticipation for a sequel for ages. However, I can honestly say hand on heart that nobody expected things to go this hard.

And I'm not just talking about the incredible level of detail on each fighter, or the reworked character models which show a clear advancement in time, nor about the slew of new moves that eager fans have already started to factor into their new combo chains, no instead I'm talking about the absolute beans given to the introduction of each combatant provided by the inimitable Lenne Hardt.

Seriously the way she screams Paul PHEEEEEEEONIX is otherworldly, giving so much socks to the performance that she actively blasted our own off. While at first, the delivery might seem out of place when compared to the gruff and serious posturing of some fighters, make no mistake, this is what hype, pure unadulterated hype, sounds like. Plus lest we not forget this is a series containing devils, cyborgs, and fighting bears so this type of emotional range is perfectly in keeping with the over-the-top tone.
