Looks fantastic. I'm still glad that Capcom did what they did for SF IV (cause it keeps looking amazing), but this also looks way, way nice.

Eh, the tag stuff was far, far better than the strikers were.
But I prefer the original team style as well.It's just that the last few years have seen the releases of KOF Neowave, KOF MI Regulation A, and now KOF '98 Ultimate Match, all of which are already using the classic style. Plus XI seemed to be universally liked by just about everyone.
With KOF '98 UM out, they HAVE an old-school game to get players back. Something new could have been done with XII, but they're playing it safe and that's a good idea for what is essentially the first game in a "new" series.

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?
This is what I was thinking when I entered this thread.gconsole said:With this neoGAF reaction. I would like to see the console version sale. Will it even pass 100K?

I said 'WOW.'
i have a feeling it will be compared to the likes or the transition of Cell shaded Zelda and the more realistic zelda.
SFIV will look great but probably look stale as it gets older, however with the artistic work for KOF XII it will look timeless.
Just look like SF3rd Strike, it still looks great even after all these years.
does someone agree with this?

So what platforms will we be seeing this? Console arcade? Sorry out of the loop...

Nah, she's not blocking. It's her CD attack. I think they called it a Blowback attack in those funny How-to-Play things? Basically you hold both hard attack buttons and your character does a hard hitting normal that knocks the other person down.
Also everybody wanting Iori in.. storyline wise that wouldn't make sense! He got his flames taken away in XI (Ash is going for all 3 divine treasures; Chizuru's Yata Mirror/Illusions which got taken in 2003 and Iori's Yasakani Magatama/Orochi Flames which got taken in XI. All that's left is Kyo's Flames and associating treasure.. which should be a sword!).
Clearly Kyo's going to get his ass kicked and Shingo will save the day. GO SHINGO.

Who the fuck cares. Just let him have a revamped moveset without flames.

after watching the SF HD remix videos i have realized hi res sprites cannot mask crap animation. I hope KOF has improved the animation along with hi res sprites.
Holy Order Sol said:
Yeah, I know. It's possible. I'm pretty sure some guy went and already did that in like MUGEN or whatever. It's just bound to be a different Iori though. Atleast he wasn't really super dependant on that power like Chizuru was, the lack of fun mirror action pretty much benched her.
Iori needs a drastic change, he's been the same since 95. whereas Kyo has evolved over the years in both design and actual move set.
dude, fuck off seriously. there are plenty of SF4 threads around for you to post, instead of resorting to this crap.Seiken said:

^ This. I preferred it this way, as opposed to the shift system, which made it so that it was much more based around chains crafted by teams.
Avalon said:
2000 had a lot of fundamental flaws, the main one being Strikers, which allowed for some easy, and really stupid infinites.
Once people found those things, it made 2K largely into a joke. Only 2001 was deemed as more "cringe-worthy" amongst the multitude of KOF fans.

I'm open for SNK trying new ideas...in NEW games, that is. Let KOF go back to being KOF, and let them stretch the boundaries of their imaginations in other games, I say.
Personally, I'm hoping that this will be the start of a "Platinum Age" for SNK (Playmore). I want them to do more to re-capture what made me love them back in the day, by either directly crafting, or at least being some what responsible (through ADK) in crafting multifarious fighting games. For instance, after KOF XII, few things would make me happier than to hear them either a) making a sequel to Last Blade or MOTW or b) a distinctly new IP 2D fighter.
Back in the day, SNK/ADK had a lot of different fighting games; some were stinkers, some were mediocre, and then there were the ones that truly were magnificent (Real Bout, Samurai Spirits/Shodown, Last Blade, MOTW). We wouldn't have gotten such variety if SNK was content to stay with one series, and plunge all their ideas into that one medium. Hell, it may actually do something to make things worse.
So, again, that's why I'm all for SNK experimenting, either through new entrants in other franchises, or a new IP (which would be a first for SNK in almost a decade). But KOF needs to do more to re-capture its glory that it did more to lose since the turn of the century. And what better way to do that than by marrying classic gameplay style, and making it REALLY, REALLY pleasing to the eye?

To an extent. SFIV is fine for what it is; I don't think it will replace 3rd Strike. I'm comparing KoFXII to 3s personally, as it could end up being my all time favorite 2D fighter.
I like to see a company with a lot of money give a '2d' look to a 3d game, though, maybe they'll eventually get it right.
Also, this kicks the living shit out of HD Remix, just... wow. What a clever way to draw sprites, too.

Damn..that looks really good. I've never been a fan of the KoF series, but nonetheless, extremely good looking.
I would love it if SFHDR had a big budget like this game. Not that it's horrible now, but it could look so much better with a good budget.

I loved EVERY screen (but this one).
One of these things, is not like the other.

With that aside, I love the art style. It's brilliant.

Now this is how 2d fighters should look like.

I just wanted to comment again on how much I can't wait for this game.
2D + HD = a 30 year dream come true for gaming.

As much as I loathe 2K, I'm willing to give SNK a pass for it. It was crafted around the time when they basically were bankrupt, and running out of people to continue work on the series. That's why, by 2K1 a year later (and Eolith was helping out), things went to pot so fast...
Perdew said:
I dunno. As much as I think this game is going to rock my world, I'm still of the opinion that, in classic SNK style, it may still take them another sequel (or two) to truly make for masterful gameplay from a new engine.
If nothing else, I'm setting myself up to lower my hype just a few notches, if only because I'm sure characters that I really care about (like Joe, Yamazaki, Billy, Vice, Mature, the New Faces and others) are more than likely going to be held off for a future game.
EDIT:
Ferrio said:
Actually, it's supposed to be depicting Terry's Power Geyser vs. Kyo's Orochi Nagi.
Airkiru said:
Not much.
Again, like I've said before, there's not much reason for certain MOTW characters to be involved in the mix, because their "1st generation equivalents" are still very much a part of the active part of the cast. Kim Kaph Wan, Ryo Sakazaki and Geese Howard are all alive and well, so there's not much need for the Kim twins, Marco/Butt or Rock.
So, to put it bluntly, until Geese is dead in the 2D KOF series, don't expect Rock, or any of his lil friends, to show up just yet.
...And before any starts talking about Hotaru's appearance in KOFXI...I'd like to remind you that she was a special edition for the console port, and also not a canonical entrant in the overall storyline.
