A Tekken Movie Reboot Finds Financing From China's Financing City Network

Fans of the Tekken series may know about the current 2 Hollywood Tekken movies that were released but I've just heard of yet another Tekken movie currently being planned. This new Tekken movie hasn't been officially announced but it is set to be a reboot of the Tekken movie series which I'm guessing is to make better use of the franchise's story and characters and to of course, distance itself from the other Hollywood Tekken movies since they weren't exactly critical successes. The so called Tekken reboot finds financing through the Chinese business platform 'Financing City Network' through a 10 picture deal to produce Chinese and U.S movies with a combined production budgets of around $300 million within the next three years. There's not much other info to go on for the movie besides that for now but If you're interested in further details behind the Financing City Network deal, you can continue reading on the Variety article for source of the news below:

Tekken 7 - Regarding the Change to the Sidestepping

Tekken 7 is the latest game in the franchise and in this sort of gaming climate where fighting game developers are taking into consideration the accessibility of their titles, there's always bound to be several system wide changes that not everyone will be familiar with. For Tekken 7, there's several noticeable changes that can be observed for the sake of making the game more accessible to players. Such as the revamp of the Oki system allowing players to easily get up from the ground to the tweaked damage scaling in combos or the generic throw break change as well as the additions of Power Crushes and Rage Arts. There's another of which of these changes it's regarding the side stepping in the system. Now as we may remember, early reports came out after Tekken 7's launch and players were noticing that the sidestepping in the game was made weaker compared to the previous Tekken games. Harada at Final Round this year described the change as 'We made tweaks to the side steps but the side walking wasn't really touched on' - What I'm personally curious is as to what the players feel about this change. For this topic, I went ahead and asked whoever I could on how they feel about the game and you can read all about it below.
