i cant belive anybody actually gives a toss about the ast, which were all shit anyway bar 99.
94 > rebout, you’re not missing anything
Few of those ASTs during the Neo-Geo CD days were really good. SSII anyone?
DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE DIE DIE DIE die DIE DIE :mad:
NO AST
this killed it for me
New Faces Team AST was beastly.
AST is “in” the game, if I understand correctly. Just not DURING the game.
5 classic games on one disc for 15 dollars is too much to pass on, no matter what.
It’s not so bad on the original collection games I think.(played 95 a bit and didn’t have much of a problem)
but in 98 at least(what I fucked around with the most) there were load times inbetween matches(so it had to load the next character in the team line up after you win or lose) and then even after it starts, it’s still loading. So for the first couple seconds of the match the sound kinda lags behind the gameplay.
and this is in addition to the extremely long pre-match loading times
Only cool thing is the training mode. Goes so far as to have demos for certain moves and everything. So it was pretty cool to be able to practice target combos in front of my comp. Once it gets running there’s really no input lag or anything. It just takes forever to load it in the first place.
I didn’t know people were expecting anymore than that.
Re-Bout & UM contain the original '94 & '98 as bonuses, do they not??? That makes them more appealing and appetizing than these glorified ROMS on a DVD with no online play. AST’s, along with stuff like practice/training modes, artwork and creative stuff like challenges are what separates good compilations from bare-bones, ROMS-on-a-DVD compilations. It looks like this collection got it right on the latter three, but the fact is that few people if any still play these games which severely limits the replay value w/o any online play, so AST’s and challenges are what keep it alive. Artwork is nice too, but I prefer to watch it at my convenience from a PC screen.
Oh, and KOF '95 AST ROCKS. It’s an SNK CLASSIC, how are you going to tell me that it sucks??? Yes, some early AST’s do indeed suck, but with most KOF’s this is an exception.
by the looks of it they were
joe asakura why do you even mention online play? what was the last ps2 fighter to have online play?
have a look at every compilation snk have released, all pretty bare, what made you think this would be different?
you mention challeneges? if it wasn’t needed to unlock shit nobody would ever play them, maybe they should have released it for ps3 or 360 you could have had all the pointless acheivements and trophies your hearts desire
As long as its the same as the arcade version you cannot really expect any more, not having the ast will not stop you from enjoying the game, if it’s does well what can i say? PFFFFF
I don’t see why so many people are kicking a fuss about the AST. Just buy the damn soundtrack and be done with it! :bluu:
I would be more worried about SNK USA STILL fucking up the emulation in their ports after all these years. I bet a Mexican hack couldn’t fuck up these translations like SNK USA does. :annoy:
Bought the game last Friday and have been hooked ever since.
Couldn’t care less about AST or minor load times, the games play brilliantly using the MAS Super Pro Stick and SFAC Anniversary Stick, that’s all I really care about.
What the fuck are you talking about, '96 / '98 are great.
Well you could buy the sound track, no need to rage people…
Just to be clear…AST is IN the game. It’s just not used DURING gameplay.
You can still listen to it, though.
Word. 96’s Psycho Soldier and Big Shot! remixes were the fuckin’ truth.
if you say so, i didn’t think they were anything special
so not even 95,96,97 have in game ASTs? fuck that sucks I have the japanese version and they all have in game ASts, What the fuck is wrong with SNKUSA, they couldn’t even port that?.
Well, apparently the NA version isn’t a port of the Japanese version. It’s a completely new compilation, as shown by the inclusion of 94 and 98.
I guess they thought people would be more excited by having TWO MORE COMPLETE GAMES than just having in game AST…
Well they got my money because of it
kof got some dope ass music in the games, especially the older kofs. 94 was always pure shit IMO, even back in 94 when it was competing against the likes of SSII.
i didn’t expected 2 more complete games. snk usa is too generous with 5 games at $15. all of you guys go out there and buy it!!!
if they don’t have it than get your ass on amazon and buy it just like i did.
