KOF XIV General Discussion - King of Fighters XIV Arcade Ver. Burn 2 Fight cabinets from Taito!

Isn’t there suppose to be gameplay footage today.

Supposed to be? No, but there COULD be. Depends on if someone records footage. Anyone know someone at Taipei Game Show?

That’s true actually. After Soichi Kotoyama gained control of the company, many of their workers left because they were disgusted by his decision to switch to making Pachinslot machines. SO to make this game SNK only had a team of those who stayed to make Pachinslot games and whoever else they could find.

Wait, I thought after the acquisition by Leyou Millennium that SNKP closed down their Pachislot division, correct? I’m confused. Could you please clarify your post?

Sorry, I put the wrong name. Look back at my comment.

KOF XIV started development before Leyou determined the pachislot division to be closed, and KOF XIV’s crew is most likely made up of newly hired graphic designers and programmers because they put some ads asking for new people to join to the development.
Then the pachislot crew will be working in other projects since KOF XIV was practically done by the time Leyou ordered to close the pachislot division.

Fatal Fury Wild Ambition, although 3D, was still played primarily on a 2D plane, dodge mechanic aside.

Except that Playboy, Penthouse AND Hustler all worked hard at having well done spreads on top of top notch articles. They weren’t “smut” as people tried hard to paint them as. Instead they were closer to Maxim or GQ with nudity (no idea whether those two have good articles but the point stands).

i like the new art style, the clothes look very detaild on all the characters.
BUT I STILL WANT MY HON FUUUUUUUUUUU.

So is there any new video of gameplay from Taipei or is this just the same old “maybe if I repeatedly say the graphics aren’t bad it’ll become true” bullshit we’ve been doing for the past god knows how long?

I guess Taipei Game Show opens up to the public today at 10 AM which is in like 3 and a half hours. Maybe we’ll get something then.

Probably have to wait until tomorrow for someone to upload a video of collected footage.

It would perhaps help if people didn’t constantly insist the game had ps1 level graphics. I mean it’s been established that the YouTube vids are shitty quality. How many more "lolz the graphics are so bad"comments can we get before it gets fucking annoying. It’s like yeah we get it the game isn’t T7 in terms of graphics, how much longer do people intend to beat on that same point over and over again.

You know what they say, “If you can’t support your logic, just regurgitate a troll statement”.

Who says that?

Me (I made it up if that wasn’t clear enough).

Well you are right there but what I try to point out is you can’t see the character of Ryu in that trailer. (No expressions, unfinished 3D models etc.)

K enough of that it seems there will be a 1 hour event of KOF XIV at TGS today.

Yes but we don’t know what their job is, they might be programmers and are the same people that worked on old neo geo games from what I understand. After snk focused on pachinko the company was hiring people on a contract just to work in one game, that’s how we got battle coliseum,KOF XI,MI games,KOF XIII etc. It makes sense now why people were leaving all the time like Falcon,kukino,Nona, hiroaki because that’s what they were supposed to do.

KOF XIV developer team is made of old and new people we don’t know the numbers exactly.

ha! KOFXIV graphics are ugly? sounds like you never seen Virtua Fighter 1 before or worse looking games. KOFXIV models are beautiful compared to a lot of classic and modern games. indie developers would beg for these graphics and animations. and backwards developers like Capcom that place quality over quality, end up with really incomplete and sorry ass launch versions like Street Fighter V is turning out to be, which is turned out to be almost as bad as KOF12, another game that placed graphics above all else SFV will be more popular, but SF fanatics would eat trash and half empty cereal boxes if Capcom stamps a pretty Street Fighter image on it.

and apologist is a very hateful word that’s only used by antifans who don’t give a damn about KOF in the first place.

gamers shouldn’t measure a modern game’s graphics based on modern “standards”, otherwise people wouldn’t play anything unless it looks like Crysis or EA Sports UFC, because anything that isn’t the best graphics to them, would appear as ugly to them then.

Beauty comes in multiple levels, not just one. and you know Street Fighter V can also be perceived as ugly, starting with its art direction, among other things. artistically, KOFXIV is beautiful qualities and much better looking, and it’s still being developed and polished. It’s insane that haters are even nitpicking the gorgeous backgrounds. If someone would sink so low as to hate on the backgrounds as well, they are trolling the fanbase.

So the KOFXIV stuff is in 2.5 hours from now. Good.
