Or, maybe, SNK Playmore will just license KOF to the equivalent of Eolith again.

Where is your God now?

Apparently in South Korea.

Does this mean we get Angel and May Lee back?

The guys who did 2K1? No thank you

DAwmm!!! I really hope KOFXIII makes it to the console, would be a damn shame…

Furthermore, Last blade, samurai showdown, VS etc…all these games deserve a new sequel…there is so much potential in their games.

Shit…I was so hyped for KOFIII…this is probaly the reason that we haven’t heard anything about the console release for such a long time.

again…DAMMIT!

They’re the same guys who 2002 too :lol:

They also did 2002 you know. *

Let’s look at it like this. The company produced KOF13, what a way to go right, right? They produced one of the best looking 2D fighters ever made with sprite work that surpasses 3S. They have to port the game out, they’d be insane to miss out on that. The question remains on how good/bad the port is going to be. And like I mentioned pages ago before someone with a tampon up his ass got all pissy about it, it’s always possible that the Arcade port will be leaked and we can emu it.

The question now is what will happen to their IP’s? I can’t imagine a dev coming to SNKP to license an IP, because why invest that kind of cash and then have to split some of the profits with SNKP when you can just make a new game that’s ‘inspired’ by one of their games? I can’t see them hiring an obscure company to make another fighter (as was the case with SS V SP) because they’d have to pay them, and from the sounds of it they don’t want to invest any more cash than they have to.

It sounds like they’re just going to sit on their IP’s (which, I know, they’ve been doing for years) and make cash in games and shit.

Edit: Just saw the post above mine.

b15k3 · 2011-01-19T16:19:36.000Z

This really bummed me out because I was still naive enough to hope for a home port the likes of KoF XI with a few added characters and challenge modes etc. The games director leaving pretty much means if it gets a port it’ll likely be a direct arcade thing with nothing added similar to their shoddy XBLA ventures. It’s just a shame really.

If Arc Sys somehow got the publishing rights for it, it’d be pretty much the only thing that could save the game as the online netcode would be in good hands, but I don’t think it’s realistic to hope for. =/

MC187 · 2011-01-19T17:02:31.000Z

anything but crapcom, fuck em. if they made a new kof it would go back into time instead of evolution, shit would be turtle gay against like in 94 and 95.

Louiscipher · 2011-01-19T20:40:47.000Z

I think if the port has good netcode and doesn’t break anything it’ll be a cult hit. It’ll be like the new 3S, the really cool and intricate fighter that the ‘hardcore’ plays while everyone else is playing MK and Marvel.

I am afraid that there will be a reprieve of 12’s console port and two half-finished characters will be thrown in.

DaveNK · 2011-01-19T20:48:36.000Z

Probably gonna release XIII in a similar manner they did MOTW for the DC

Tech_Romancer · 2011-01-19T20:51:01.000Z

MOTW for DC was good shit

Louiscipher · 2011-01-19T20:51:50.000Z

With backgrounds that lag the game out?

Tech_Romancer · 2011-01-19T20:56:56.000Z

I thought you had me on ignore

freshie · 2011-01-19T21:12:40.000Z

I don’t think a port of KOF XIII is unrealistic. All the hardwork of creating the game is already done and all the costs of creating the sprites is already incurred. Creating some sort of port won’t cost them much. Having good netplay is probably out of the question. It makes sense for them to release the port before closing up shop.

But then again SNKP isn’t well known for good business decisions -_-.

LuckyDay:

I would rather KOF die forever than get a 2.5D Capcom made KOF XIV.

this

i’d rather kof end forever than fucking CAPCOM get it. And fuck ASW getting it either, porting o.k but don’t let them take over the goddamn franchise.

CrimsonMoonMist · 2011-01-19T22:52:15.000Z

The only ones who should have the rights to KOF is SNK,
some may say SNKP is stretching it, but it’s still SNK, even if the staff is 50/50
and their sucess rate is 10/90.
The moment someone else takes control of KOF, I’m signing off.

I dunno about you guys, but I think it’s not only the quality that counts.
What if Nintendo suddenly started making Sonic games?
I’m sure many can agree that it would be a fate worse than mediocre games.

Handling the ports? sure, I don’t see why not.
But It’s SNK’s franchise and nobody else’s, especially not Capcom’s.

Tech_Romancer · 2011-01-19T23:34:44.000Z

Capcom would never fail us.

EmX · 2011-01-19T23:48:02.000Z

Good riddance. I’d rather have no more new KOFs at this point. Tired of being ignored and getting shitty ports from a company which has no clear motive beyond flailing around wildly and only appealing to the worst gaming demographic on earth.

Frankfurt · 2011-01-19T23:51:38.000Z

The responses here are hilarious. I mentioned time and again that they weren’t making money off the gaming division, that pachinko was keeping them afloat, the alienated kids here refused to believe me, all the 3 times I mentioned it.

Well, I guess it’s time for those dorks to come back to the real world. SNK makes money off their IPs, not their games. Pachinko, Queen’s Gate books, Queen’s Gate games (yes, from other developers and other companies, devs that licensing Mai, Iroha and Cham-Cham). THAT is what makes them money. The gaming division has been an IP farm for almost a decade. Anyone that ever had a job could see it.

If Nintendo started making Sonic games I would start playing them again. Sonic Team hasn’t produced a good Sonic game in years. Nintendo has a better track record when it comes to quality games.

Being under new management may actually help KoF. It’s working for Mortal Kombat.
