Mini Cooper. Sherlock Holmes pub. Red telephone box. 70's punks. Big Ben. WHY, IT'S LAHNDHN GUV', as interpreted by a man who ate a guide book and shat out it's contents.
You can feel the squalor.
I don't think it's anything to grumble about, I think it's kind of hilarious that the devs just went for EVERY STEREOTYPE POSSIBLE.Originally Posted by Omega_Tom_Hanks

Please ignore my grumbling, the vast majority of these are astonishing in their splendour.
That would be the France stage in KoF 12 and 13 I believe.Great thread.
That KOF one with the woman head banging in the background always makes me laugh.
That's from Art of Fighting 2.Originally Posted by ResidentDante
Beautiful. Which game is this from?
Hot damn! Now I want to play shit that doesn't exist. I both love and hate you for posting that Espada :D :'(Yeah, SNK were goddamn KINGS at making incredibly detailed backgrounds and nice animation. You see it in Metal Slug, too.
BTW, this thread reminded me of someone's remake of a Samurai Showdown stage in UE3. It looks PHENOMENAL.
Don't forget that those games were made with Japanese kids and teenagers in mind. With Asian sceneries they could afford to be a little more sophisticated (see: Last Blade backgrounds), but with Western countries they went for easily understandable stereotypes.Originally Posted by thelatestmodel

Well the KoF 13 London stage has double decker busses...Originally Posted by Phonomezer
Beautiful. Just beautiful!
The London stages are disappointing. Such a wealth of history and these are such boring scenes. Why not set a stage in one of the Victorian rookeries? Fighting in the Old Nichol in a sea of severe poverty, depravity, drunks passed out, a corpse in a corner, filthy naked kids shitting in the street, 60 year old prostitutes with no teeth who have soiled themselves, etc.
To be fair all the stages are stereotyping like that, you just don't notice it when it's not where you live.Originally Posted by Phonomezer

KOFXIII says hi.I always found immpresivewhat SNK was capable on an hardware from 1990 like the neo geo
I love to imagine what kind of backgrounds they could have done with better hardware like the cps3, or even the cps2
I don't know, my problem with XII and XIII is that the BG are gorgeous, but at the same time are too anime/exageratedKOFXIII says hi.
KOFXII's were really good as well (Russian stage, stage with the whales in the back etc).
What resolution? The pixels would look a little different in higher resolution if you want sharp pixels and a resolution that's not 2x, 3x, 4x etc. the resolution.Is there a way that I can get the first gif in a higher resolution? I'd like to use that as a background on my phone.
Pretty sure it's from Art of Fighting 2 or 1.Originally Posted by JetBlackPanda
what is this from?
thx.
Wow I never noticed the lighting in Freeman's stage that much but the way it's animated in this GIF is amazing.
The lighting blows my mind to this day.
