on PS3, M2 improved their netcode, I felt KOF95 and KOF96 netcode on PS3 was better than KOFXII and KOFXIII combined (though it could only support 2 players per room.)
Well I think Officials team is entirely made up of Chinese (which is a good thing and matches that the new saga could involve a power that has Chinese origins, plus the new Hero team looks to be made up of Chinese characters too, so just as Kyo and Iori have their Japanese family connections, and then in Ash saga, the core story teams involved French leaders (Ash and Elisabeth) it makes more sense of Heroes and Officials team to be entirely made up of Chinese characters with Chinese origins).
Thereâs already Kimâs team dedicated to taekwondo/Korea team. yea doesnât look like thereâs any female Korean representation like May Lee back then, but KOF has been korean heavy since KOF94 (I donât really count Athenaâs original china team as pure china team, because Athena and Kensou are japanese),
itâs nice Chinese are getting more representation in this new saga, and it foreshadows that the Dragon Spirit or some other power from China could be deeply connected to the Hero and Officials teams. in my opinion it would be cooler if the Idol Girl is Cpop style though the tricky part is that KOF is Japanese made, so maybe there wonât be discrimination and theyâll make the Chinese characters as good looking as the best Japanese characters
(I really felt KOFXIII China stage was disrespectful of SNKP, they made the whole crowd look bad on purpose. ) but maybe there wonât be racism and bias reflected on the Chinese designs in KOFXIV, especially since now a Chinese company is investing a lot of money in SNKP.
i look your image and some face missing some personality traits , terry bogard and Billy Kane , and king look asian lol
my little problem using this art style is all character look asian ,let hope that will be fix before release,
thankyou peace
Ah ha! So my masked girl theories are similiar to the stance/mask changing they are said to have.
and thatâs awesome that the final bossâs lore explains the Another World team. so itâs great KOF maintains integrity, thereâs a reason for everything. itâs so wonderful Nakoruru is in official KOF and story based at that. ^.^
great factual confirmation that China also has the most KOF fans.
KOFXIV is getting beyond KOF96 levels of hype (despite not having what later KOFs added, KOF96 to me is a masterpiece with the resources it had for its time, better stages, music, bosses, and other things that even KOF98 cant match. though yea KOF97 did surpass it with bosses, though KOF95 does rival it with character designs/portraits)
Iâve been studying 3D recently, and I can see now that it was a safe bet to go with.
Stuff like âtextureâ paint vs âvertexâ paint, with the latter apparently saving more memory, but giving this plastic look, depending on the shader, or you can get a cel shaded look through vertex, like with what guilty gear did.
Although, the texture look might be more suited to the game, as going cel shaded would require a drastic change and a loss of a lot of work. Plus, to get the animated, 2D feel, GG had to animate the characters the way stop motion animation is done, plus adding individual, independent lighting to each character to get the best look.
KOF is turning out pretty good though, you can see the work thatâs been put into the recent models.
If anyone here followed KoF12 besides Grimm and myself, they would know that 12 was pushed out solely to make money so that SNK could complete the real game. It takes a ludicrous amount of time and money to make the sprites that were in KoF12/13. Here, let me pull the quote to further illustrate this point:
*
and hereâs a quote by an old old resident of the KoF threads, SAB-CA, to break it down in laymans:
*This was back in KoF12, which had 20 characters at the time. KoF13 went on to add an additional 17 characters. It financially drained SNK and didnât make nearly as much money as needed back. In fact it was a very real chance that KoF13 was going to be the last KoF game ever. Not the last 2D KoF, but the last KoF game period. So while I understand why people loved the 2D art of KoF13 (I did too), going back to that style is an INSANE idea financially. *
They donât need to prove anything, they have and always been decent fighting game developer, they were never business savvy but they knew how to produce games.
I honestly didnât expect anything on 4chan to ever gain traction. I still post a few things here and there, not sure if Iâll keep at it though. I wonder if the leaker is going to be mad at me :^)
I mean, itâs 4chan so the thread is gone. If you know of a website that archives /v/ threads I could look it up I guess but other than that itâs over. Thatâs why a screenshot exists, that info would be gone otherwise.
