I thought someone confirmed that it was Billy Lee in the coding. Is the guy who initially saw him someone who knows about SNK and other FG franchises? Or would he be someone to make that mistake? I guess this makes Hwa make more sense because the three of them were the major bosses before Geese, still a really weird pick though. Yuri will be in a female team with King and Mai and Takumi will join Ryo and Rob I’m assuming.
I don’t know if SNK actually worked on these particular sprites for 4 complete years. I imagine they considered using older sprites shortly after 11 and then jostled around a few different graphic engine idea’s, I would say no more then 3 years tops.
I’m kinda gunshy this time around, SNK did nothing but fuck me in 2009 with MotW, KOF '98UM and KOF XII - them niggas owe me $80 f’real…then again it could be Karma for all the Emu’s and Dreamcast burns from 10 years ago.
A’ight SNK, We even now - please give me a good game!!!
I thought Robert was Italian lol(I swear I read somewhere that he came from Italy or something), although Garcia sounds more Spanish to me. And I don’t know how anyone can even tell K’s race, all the art I’ve seen of him he looked like a half black mixed race guy, or an Arabic guy or something. Same for Krizalid and O Zero oddly.
Yeah Ash is cool. Hopefully SNK will go into more detail about Ash and Elizabeth’s organization. Betty said that her and Ash had some kind of “mission” but Ash left it because all he cares about now is power. Also, Elizabeth knew exactly what Iori’s Orochi flames were and the powers of the Yata Mirror. Interesting…
The guy that saw him, TRIEU, is the owner of SNK-Capcom.com. He would always visit SNK USA, as he was one of the biggest buyers of Neo-Geo boards back in the day. He knew the peeps at SNK personally, he would go to E3, interview SNK and report news as press, and so on. He always knew stuff beforehand. But he also would report discussions with SNK guys that were cancelled (Garou 2, for example - we all know that the game was started then cancelled, but TRIEU reported SNK was seriously considering finishing the game, and that never happened).
The 360 code only listed “Billy”, it didn’t list last names.
Also, i agree that K’ should be in the game since in 2003 and XI he’s featured in the plot, but frankly, considering Kensou’s Dragon Power storyline, it’s obvious SNK has no rush of finishing storylines.
And i still have a smidgen of hope we’ll get all 10 XBox-listed characters. 4 of those could be mostly headswaps, and another is a boss, which can get by with barely any normals.
Why should I be excited for this game? Im not being an ass but really would like to know why I should be excited. I put so much excitement into 12 to be sooo let down (online broken and never fixed) that I don’t expect much. KOF 12 was such a fun game to play too… I can’t believe how they could ruin a game by making it unplayable outside player matches.
Has anyone heard positive news about this? Is there some way that this game isn’t going to be unsupported and broken from day 1?
i was so hyped bout xii, and when i got it, low and behold it had the crappiest presentation, less characters than the original mvc (i think?), GOD AWFUL net play, no story mode, like three playing modes all together.
worse $60 dollars i ever spent.
but that doesn’t mean i wouldn’t buy the next title if it was any good. :pleased:
