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

It’s pointless to have multiple reveal trailers when nothing substantial is shown or told. If it wasn’t for Laban’s early impressions we wouldn’t even know how the game feels and plays like. In fact it was because of the early impressions and community feedback that a lot of us got hype to begin with. I know as much about KOFXIV as I did with PSX, nothing new or interesting has been shown in great detail.

It not really pointless. Since they’re going for many characters they would want to showcase a lot of the characters planned to catch people’s attention.

does anyone even know what the budget for this game is? the only reason all those other companies can market so well is because they would have a lot more money behind them and are all far more popular than KoF

technically all the video are teaser.
wait a real trailer before complain.

we do not know what is ready.

show something = "Booo ! ugly graphics,3d like ps2, stage empty, the characters look not finished, why show the game so early?.. ecc."
show nothing = “Booo !”

the game is far away from release. Character, graphics and gameplay are not finished yet for ““hype trailers”” and other thing.

lets be real bruv the chances of this getting a beta are low thats just something fighting games dont do unless there is a clearly specific reason for it,and hopefully you know this but beta isn’t a fancy word for demo

What is really stupid in my opinion about this entire conversation is that you’re holding SNK to a much higher standard than basically every other developer. Like okay, Capcom showed off more of the character toolset, but most of the stuff you’re listing they didn’t do. They didn’t do anything extensive, they didn’t do a reveal a week, they didn’t do day to day conversations with the dev team, they didn’t do CGI trailers besides the opening to SFV trailer, they didn’t do any of that shit but you expect SNK to do that. On top of that they have no control over media coverage. Either they get covered or they don’t, it’s not their fault that no one wants to talk about KoFXIV, and that’s not even true because every trailer has been on all of the major gaming sites every single time without fail. The only reason we had information about the mechanics in SFV is because of the beta, Capcom never did writeups or tech videos explaining how everything works. So in reality, what Capcom did over SNK is a beta, and while I want a beta too, not having a beta does not mean SNK is doing a bad job promoting their game.

The trailers could be more expansive, but seriously, they’re all labeled teaser trailers and we don’t know that they won’t do that stuff in the future. Besides showing off the characters more, SNK has not been slacking in any regard.

SNKP will prob do a big trailer similar to their Promotional vids, just give them time.

be patient like neutral jumping tiger shots in ST

I hare fighting zoning characters and I hate waiting which is why I hate fighting blanka in CVS2 and why I hate fighting daimon in KOF98. It’s a good thing V is coming out soon otherwise the boredom would have been too much. On that note is your computer ready Laban for more Fightcade matches in KOF98.

I’d rather the devs focus on doing work then stupid ass pandering like what the directors day to day at SNK is, i dont give a fuck if he takes creme in his coffee or not, i only care about him and his team working on the game to get it running right and out the door on time. Fuck all that other useless fluff that wont mean much until i can actually play the game anyway. Give me a good tutorial and teaining mode when the game is out cuz that is when its really going to matter.

Like damn man chillz. Youre probably gonna drop it like a bad habit after you realize your not instantly good at it anyway.

SNK has shown more of KoFXIV than Capcom did of SFV in the same timeframe.

It’s ready, I’m down for games. Just let me see if I have any homework I need to finish today though.

Yeah, I don’t get the complaints either.

As far as KOF goes (or any SNK game really), SNK has probably already given XIV more exposure than any other game in forever.

KOFXIII: Revealed at an arcade expo, quick beta test, released a couple or so months later in the arcades. Dead silence for almost 2 years and then a console version comes out.

KOFXIV: In just a few months since reveal they have been taken the game around the world and it has been appearing and made playable at major gaming events. With appearances at Tokyo Game Show, Korean Playstation conference, Playstation Experience, Taipei Game Show and it will be appearing in Hong Kong later this month. There is also a good chance it will show up at EVO and E3. This is well beyond what I expected SNK to do with any of their games.

And people expecting an updated demo build every time must not know how resource and effort intensive these things are, developers really don’t like doing them. And in the end they are way out of date compared to the current internal build anyway.

So yeah, between taking the game around the world and revealing new characters each month, SNK has been doing a great job promoting the game imo. They have also been giving a ton of interviews and been very open to communication with fans.

there is nothing wrong with the TEASER trailers weve got.
you get a few glimpses to what is coming.
HELL snk made a wise choice showing us how the games shape turns UP visually.

SNK sucks dick a marketing. Then need to pay off Max,Mike Ross,and DSP(like capcom did with 5)to promote 14 proper!

Wouldn’t letting DarkScrubPhail promote your game be counter-intuitive?

A lot of stuff about to take place soon…
Some small video samples from KOFXIV.

DSP promoted SFV? Wut

why should they pay off people who dont play KoF, i cant tell if im falling for bait or not

They should pay Juicebox and even give him a dance number on stream.
