Art of Fighting 3 (1996) was certainly impressive with its large detailed sprite characters which had lots of animation. Looks like we are in for the same treat but in HD with KOFXII.

Awesome.

Can't remember where i found it but a site had the "SNK Voice Collection #1-8" online for DL.....Ofcourse i grabbed #7 Ryuji Yamazaki since he rocks.

Jealous of the Glory that is Johnny Depp
yeah, hopefully they bring back Yamazaki. even if he ends up being an unlockable for the console version.

Man I'm totally digging the new look of the sprites. Even from the crappy quality video I can see details such as Kyo's arms' shadows casting on his jeans, the lighting effects etc. I like the Falcoon-ish baggy pants too. I can just taste the hi-def sprites nomnomnom

And the backgrounds ahhhhhhhhh so lively and the colours especially on that umbrella laden bg O_O

It still looks like it still has some work on it tho. Athena has practically no animation on her standing pose.

Now we begin the fun part of speculating who's returning back for this series. Man I can't wait to see Mai in her hi-def glory (if she's returning) :D I demand a direct video of this trailer asap... this low quality one doesn't do the game justice.

All hail the King!!!

Not sure if I would expect console only characters considering how much work it takes to make these new sprites. In the old games it was easy to throw in a character since they were using dirt old sprites.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

It's not KOF XII so it has no place here.

It's Arc System's new upcoming fighter, continuing their heritage of making awesome sprites which animate like complete horseshit.

So same team as Guilty Gear? Because that would make me excited for this game.
 
Is it just me or Ash looks more like a woman now? I could swear he had slender women like hips during the bit where he does the backflip kick thingie.

Holy fucking shit. I couldn't see shit before, but this vid looks great. The animation in the backgrounds is amazing. How the hell could that Wired blogger think this was 3D?

Seriously, the game looks like Guilty Gear, but you know, with more than 2 frames of animation per character
 
I never got into King of Fighters before, the closest thing was Capcom Versus Snk 2....but holy crap this looks amazing!! :O

I hate this up/down relationship SNK Playmore puts me through!

Stop making me like you again SNK Playmore - it's so much easier when you cut corners, abuse the fans, and force feed Witch Touching games on us!
 

Kintaro

Worships the porcelain goddess
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

That looks just crazy good. Is it just me, or do the shadows on the characters look real time? Like, self shadowing, etc? Are my eyes fucking with me? o_O

But don't you see? The Pedo Touching games were necessary evils! Those funds are what are making it so we can get games like KOF XII! :lol :lol

I have to admit, I found myself laughing at their line-up of games... nothing but ports. I'll definitely be picking up KOF98: Ultimate Match. Is it going to have any graphic improvements (Widescreen maybe?)?
