Support NeoGAF

[EvaTType01]

um, is gamestop the only retailer offering the bonus exclusive soundtrack? who are the other fine retailers? I was about to pre-order at their website, but man, im so used to ordering from amazon and getting it day 1 and just paying 0.99 for delivery.

the xbox cover does not look better, cant you see? Mai is not on it!

 

[Flying Wonkey]

If it were up to me I'd try and see If I can get Rugal back in. :{

It irritated me that people bitched about possibility KOF13 DLCS. SNK really need it because

DLC is a love/hate thing though.

I'm fine with it being used properly (extending a game's life after the game has come out) but announcing it a coupla months before release is just a kick in the nuts. Its going to go down as classic Iori already on the disc and players have to foot the bill to play as him. If the game is a make or break for them then this isn't the time to pull something like this; its an obvious attempt to getting a quick buck. If I want to support SNK stop making me hate you dammit >.> I'm not going to take it as a poor attempt at pity.

Amazon IS one of those retailers according to the website.

Worth noting that its selling for 50 bucks as well instead of 60.

 

[Fersis]

I suck time zones math so.. how much until the KOFXIII panel?

Oh and i totally totally hate characters DLC. But i will buy every DLC they put up.

 

[sixteen-bit]

So good.

Will buy.

 

[EvaTType01]

Amazon IS one of those retailers according to the website.

ooh, i guess amazon hasn't updated then? that's good to hear!

I would do store pick-up at gamestop, but most of the time, the excuse of "oh, we ran out...." irrirates me, especially when i pre-ordered waaaaay in advance.

 

[Tizoc]

KoF 13 panel should start in 30 mins.

Worst question ever: "Are you guys planning Samurai Shodown Vs Soul Calibur?"

Man i wish i was there , i hate when people that have the chance to ask stuff ask such stupid fucking questions.

SMH

I wouldn't mind seeing a 2D Ivy.

However the rest of the SC cast in 2D would be wildly out classed by the rocktacular awesomesauce that is the SamSho cast of awesome characters!

 

[N4Us]

Any details on what retailers are doing the preorder special?

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Was anything revealed before the Q&A?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Elizabeth is a trap.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Any details on what retailers are doing the preorder special?

website seems to indicate only gamestop and amazon, as well as their Canadian counterparts.

edit: no spectator mode online folks. I just heard a sigh from the guy streaming when they answered the question.

 

[Augemitbutter]

.....

better edit that one.

WHy SNK you heard people bitch about that is MVC why the fuck would you do that .
It kill the game online.

 

[vocab]

trapppppppppp


Is it confirmed we have a playable netcode that doesn't suck ass? I don't want to lay down the cash if the online is horrible.

 

[Grokbu]

Well that's a letdown about no spectating. Still gonna buy the game, of course. But what I'm most afraid of now is lack of sales.

 

[Urban Scholar]

I don't know if the director said that would be available on a later update or not. As it stands that's one negative point but still netcode is a larger concern.

 

[GitarooMan]

Any chance of some KoF-themed arcade stick?

 

[Slamtastic]

edit: no spectator mode online folks. I just heard a sigh from the guy streaming when they answered the question.

Hype decreasing, sale now on "needs to be re-earned" status.

 

[TreIII]

Interesting that there's no spectator mode, though they made sure to bring back Clan Mode from XII...ah well.

 

[LowParry]

edit: no spectator mode online folks. I just heard a sigh from the guy streaming when they answered the question.

Chances of purchasing just went waaaaaaaay down. :/

 

[Phoenixazure]

Looks like replay mode isn't enough to please people these days. If its for the sake of better online stability I won't care...

 

[IntelliHeath]

going to still buy it since I only play it offline with friends.

 

[Souther]

Wow. Some of you people call yourselves KOF fans but won't buy a game because it doesn't have spectator mode....

Good. Please stay away then, because your not really a fan.

 

[Tizoc]

I don't have a problem with the lack of spectator mode, they could add it in a future update of the game.
What matters is the good online, you could lurk for some KoF hentai or some such while waiting for your turn to play online if you want something to do while waiting.

 

[Lyte Edge]

LOL, I think you mean "please stay away then, because you're not a blind fanboy who opens wide for anything the company wants to shove down our throats."

After XII, they need to roll out a perfect online system for XIII. This is a MUST. No spectator mode is definitely a turn-off. It sucked in Marvel, and it's going to suck in XIII.

So true. Buying this for playing with friends, offline and online.

Yeah, well mister you better have your hands on your arcade stick when I play you. This still came out wrong....

lol there is a lot of that in this thread and the last thread, soon as you have a different opinion its oh your not really a fan because your not bending over willingly.

 

[alstein]

You can have both, but having the netcode work is more important then any spectator mode.

 

[Phoenixazure]

All im seeing are extremes of both sides. Those that will take KOFXIII no matter what its missing or lacking, and those that are looking for every single excuse to put down the game. For the package they're offering across all fronts is stacked. I'm leaning more towards the former since I don't have an arcade to play this game, and I'll def. get a kick out of all the single player modes they'll offer. It's just a simple case of lovers loving and haters hating.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Absolutely. No spectator mode kills lobbies though.

Again, after XII all the hate is understandable. SNK fucked up big time, and they are going to have to earn back a lot of consumers' trust.

So far, the overall package is looking good to me, but we are not going to know how the netcode really is until the game is out.

But hey, I purchased KOF '95 on PSN the other day, and had some matches against Japanese players. Did not feel laggy at all.

 

[TreIII]

After XII, they need to roll out a perfect online system for XIII. This is a MUST. No spectator mode is definitely a turn-off. It sucked in Marvel, and it's going to suck in XIII.

But to be fair, let's get our priorities in order. Decent netcode is always the most important thing. Nothing else matters, if they can't even get THAT MUCH down pat.

For example, MK. Great game, lots of features, even includes spectator mode for the sake of King of the Hill and such. I haven't been playing recently, but the netcode certainly sucked at launch, which pretty much made all of those nice side things of little consequence until things got patched up.

So, if it came down to one or the other, for the sake of all that's good, I'm REALLY hoping that they live up to that promise of "better than SF4" netcode. Would rather have "better than ASW" netcode, but we'll see what happens. Then once they've got a good base, hopefully they can add more to it.

Nah, i meant exactly what i said.

I've played kof from 94. I haven't bought every game ever since and don't buy everything KOF related. I just think it's pretty lame that some people aren't willing to buy a game based on the lack of spectator mode.
