According to Gato Ray there will be visual improvements from the PS4 Pro version, no details as to what kind exactly yet.

XIV announced

People complain about the graphics

XIV released

SNK upgrades graphics

People complain of the lack of Yamazaki, Vanessa and Rock Howard

SNK releases Whip, Yamazaki, Vanessa and Rock Howard DLC

People complain of the lack of a PC port

SNK announces Steam version.



Doing good!

But from the look of this thread, looks like crossplay will be the next thing people will clamor for, but I'm not sure the game's networking structure is meant to support that.

Pretty much, people will just keep finding excuses.

Graphics is still a mess. Nothing changed.

Yeah, nothing changed:

Nice. I was just eyeing this on the PSN sale, as I'd just purchased Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess and was closer than ever to purchasing a PlayStation 4. I'll hold off at least a bit longer with this coming out on PC, though.

wow no wai

Some of ya'll are insane to hope for crossplay, btw. What game has ever had crossplay that a) wasn't a simultaneous release and b) didn't have it's own servers set up to deal with that?

Day One. Sure, I haven't played my PS4 version pretty much at all, but that's because my son is always on with his damn Destiny. PC is my primary gaming machine now regardless, so double dip time.

Seems like a good time to get into the franchise!
Would you recommend getting 13 before, or directly wait for 14?

BOOM! I was just about ready to get the PS4 version, but I just kept on holding out hope. I really wish the PC version had the same kind of physical special edition the PS4 got...cause I still kinda want to get that.

I'd recommend picking up 13 just for the jaw dropping visuals. It helps that the gameplay is really good, but the game just looks gorgeous.

Case in point.

Finally, this is my most expected fighter even with CF and Rev2 so close to each other.

But let's be honest, SNK probably doesn't have the resources to do crossplay.

But where is Karnov's Revenge?
Don't you toy with my heart!

People complained about no Steam ver.? I was under the impression it was one of those 'it'll happen in due time' kind of things.

What does it mean closed beta? invites will be sent to random players? purchasing the game gives access to the beta? will be for a short period? or I should register

The wait makes me anxious

People should complain about the lack of a Switch version next.

I pretty much never touched my PS4 version... but I'll buy this again. Just to support these guys bringing KOF to PC.

I wonder if this includes the DLC

No confirmation of this yet but I'd think that probably not since it's too close to their console release.

The DLC characters were included in the Steam version of XIII but that version came way, way after the console version and the arcade port of the console version.

The returning cast from KoF 13 all seem to have their models BASED on their kof 13 models. It makes King's stance look really really dorky.

Nah, they started from scratch for XIV.

How's the execution requirement in this game? Anyone play it on a pad? I'm a 360 pad player. just wondering if this is as strict as 13 was with the execution

Combos are way, way easier than XIII.

After release they also patched in more leniency for certain motions (it became much easier to do half circle moves, for example).

It was really more of a when than an if, especially with it only being a PS4 Console Exclusive.

Still great to hear, though.
