Even more KOFXII Screens: AKA Capcom facepalm imminent

Never post again…ever

You do realize he’s just trying to get a reaction out of you, right?

A new 3D Samurai Shodown game. Look it up.

lol but pretty much everyone has acknowledged that ss sen looks like crap, including people who like snk games

Dun take dat ton wit me 'oy.
SONIC BOOM

I think you mean, “Beawm.”

I’m still amazed that SNK managed to do this high quality sprites and (from the trailer) animation, as well as completely tweak the fighting system in 2 years.

I’d personally love to see what techniques they used for their sprite animation.

No no no, you got it all wrong, SS Sen looks worse then crap.

so has anybody translated what the “NEW” things mean?

a really doubt a polygonal game like SFIV is going to play exactly like a Sprite game like SFII.

The ones who’ve played it think it does.

wow so many biased comments. trust me i love kof and i used to really like street fighter. infact growing up i played a bit more street fighter. SFIV looks ok. to me, its not that hard to make a really nice looking game using a 3d engine. i tend to appreciate the 2d aspect of it more because it takes a hell of a lot longer and honestly, i really do feel that kof xii looks better than sfvi, but that doesn’t mean sfiv sucks and that doesnt mean kofxii is great. i dont think kof will ever get the respect i feel it deserves.

someone said something about kof incorporating gameplay invented years ago? whats so new about the “new” stuff in SFVI? in this day and age, its really hard to be original and just because theres things similar to something else doesn’t necessarily mean its trying to copy it. thats all. let the flaming commence.

The ridiculous fatalities take the cake on that one, really.

…and plays even worse.

LOL nigga don’t do that…that’s 5 to 10

That new 3d samsho game that NOBODY (not even snk fans) really gives a damn about, unlike sf4, which capcom fans are damn near literally putting their lives on hold for. Sen is simply a passing curiosity. SF4 is considered to be the continuation of a great legacy. Comparing Sen to SF4 is like 2 warriors in an inn talking shit about each other’s weapons. Or rather, 1 warrior trying and failing miserably to talk shit about someone who totally outclasses him.

CAPasaCOM: So you say my weapon looks pathetic?! It was forged by the great smithy who has created far more awesome weapons in the past! It is the natural evolution of all the greatest weapons of the past. Besides, it looks just as good as that pointy thing you have on the table beside you. What IS that, anyway? It’s far too puny to be a threat! AHAHAHAHA-

SavaNK:…it’s a fork. You eat with it. Nothing I really care about. You can have that shit if you want it. It was just made as an afterthought.

CAPasaCOM: -HAHAHA- uh? :sad: …Oh.

SavaNK: whips out XII bastard sabre THIS is my weapon.

CAPasaCOM: opens mouth and rasies a finger as if to make a point, stops, then leaves

But seriously…why is there any hostile comparisons? Different companies are doing different things with the resources they have available. Some just happen to be better armed, and the results speak for themselves. I’m sure if Capcom hadn’t let it’s art crew disperse to the four winds or if Capcom of Japan was behind this project from the beginning instead of having Capcom of america riding their nuts, bugging them about it, there would be a lot more effort put forth on this. They should’ve at least gotten some of the rendering staff from the 3d graphics kings, Namco, involved.

And honestly, guys: it makes no damn sense to compare a 3d game to a hand-drawn game.

Also 90% of most SNK fans never played the other 3d SS games

Due to the ultra-limited distribution of cabinets. As far as I know, the only place anyone found those games were the usual: Cali and Chinatowns in other states. Didn’t those games suck as well? The art was fuckin’ awesome. That artist had a flair for realistic musculature and streamlined abs. I’m still looking for the art from the second game for that one Galford pic where he’s like, jumping or dashing while grinning at the viewer.

Most statistics are made up 75 percent of the time.

But I can say one thing I never played a 3d SS and I would agree with that statistic.

Man… I wish SFIV looked as good as this… oh well, it should still be playable… specially with those comically hilarious faces. :slight_smile:

Damn, KoFXII looks too damn good, I can’t wait to try it out. Shit better play as good as it looks though! I hope they keep Kasumi and Malin in it, and that they buff up Athena from XI… atleast to her KoF2k2 self.

All I can say is–KOFXII IMO looks better than SF4, while SF4 has made improvement I wished the game would’ve been 2-D. I’ve been more than understanding about why they decided to go in the direction that they did, and I appreciate the changes for the better but also I still visually like KOFXII over SF4. When it comes to gameplay I can only hope it turns out to be a good game. For the people who come in here wanting to hate of KOFXII, that’s your perogative but its a bit childish–just in the same way people (the few) that unreasonably hate on SF4 without giving reason to why.

People like what they like, and not everyone is going to agree.

Its a given that Street Fighter 4 is definitely going to make a lot more money than KOF due to the changes Capcom made to appease a much wider spectrum of gamers, but its great to see SNK finally embraced Next Gen and stopped using 24 bit graphics.
