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

King of Dinosaurs / Tizoc is one of the greatest things around.

Great screens.

KOD looks hilarious.

Clark’s command grabs are looking good.

Looks like Maxima’s suit will open up when releasing steam and what not (you can see it on his arm in the shot where he is doing a Vapor Cannon).

Graphically the 3D models all look great so far. The only issue I have is that the characters still retain that plastic look to them. What’s weird is that it’s completely gone with some characters like Leona,kula,Chang and even kyo but most of the characters shown here still have that plastic look to them.

Seems to me that tha particle/special effects look a little weak as of now

After looking at terry I think they should just rebuild kyo from scratch. Terry looks so good by comparison as do the rest of the characters. Kyo looks like a effeminate sissy boy who rather suck dick and take it up the ass as opposed to being in a fight. I messaged oda on FB and told him everyone looks great but that kyo looks too girly and if he can plz change him back for he way he was before. I still haven’t gotten a response back.

In a weird way, I’m kinda happy the game looked so bad in the first trailer. If the game looked ā€œjust fineā€ when it was first shown, it wouldn’t have got much press. Hardcore KoF fans would be excited and everyone else would not care. But now there are more eyes on KoF than ever before(in the states). Not to mention that it makes me appreciate the current and future visuals for the game. Me personally, I can’t think of any 3d fighting games besides GG:Xrd and T7:FR that made me really impressed simply on the graphics. So I think it’s something special when KoF which doesn’t even look fuck all amazing manages to impress me(albeit only because I know SnkP knows jack shit about 3d)

A bit graphic, but I agree for the most part

I’ve been keeping a eye out on the YouTube comments for each teaser trailer uploaded on the PlayStation channel and it’s interesting to see the progress made between each teaser. At first the game was just straight out trashed (rightfully so) but every teaser has started to get more and more positive. The PSX teaser trailer that first showed angel was the first teaser to get overwhelmingly positive feedback. Now looking at the newest trailer, almost all the top comments are very positive and most people are saying gameplay matters over graphics. Even if people are shitting on the graphics they still say the game looks fun, and interestingly enough I can’t see any comments with anybody saying they won’t buy the game because of the graphics. On a funny note, the top comment is a direct dig at SFV. I realize YouTube comments don’t mean much but if this is the general market outside hardcore KOF fans, the reception isn’t as bad as I thought.

Everyone’s pissed about SFV and won’t be buying it for a while if at all. The only ones who play it are the extreme hardcore players. If SNK had a time to fully promote their game, it would be now.

Brotha… be their PR guy or on their marketing team! :wink:

I know they don’t have the capability, I was just saying.

Xian challenges Lupe to KOFXIV, maybe we will see the game (demo) at EVO 2k16. https://twitter.com/NuraYagami/status/702269591913795585

idk is only me ?, but some face look a bit weird
here andy and billy look very young and a lot of face lack of details

and i dont recognise terry face

overall i`m very happy just some face lack of detail or character personality , what do you think ?

Remember Xian, you have to make Roma…I mean, make Lupe look Strong.

I’m pretty sure Billy is in his late twenty’s or early thirties so he looks right, and Terry looks fine to me too. Andy and King however do look kinda funny,King looked good in game though

so far the only thing i dislike is maxima, he looks kinda derpy
But having said that i’ve always hated maxima, ive never really liked him since 99, i think the only game i enjoyed using him was 11 so yeah so far so good, kinda worried about the rather limited moves list for king but i think we’ll have to wait and see all 50 characters to see how everybody feels before passing judgement

Maxima’s suit actually brings the psp accusation to the light of day.

They’re still very much a WIP. Andy looks different in game VS the Trailers, Chang’s facial emotion has changed from when we first saw him, Leona has a whole new render than when she originally premiered, etc.

I don’t find Billy young looking at all. That Render for Terry in the second picture looks a bit overly villainous to me. I’m glad he looks obviously older in game. I’m actually surprised more people don’t have an issue with him. There’s a bit off with him, but it’s not too bad.

Even though they say they have the game ā€œ70%ā€ complete, I doubt they have a lot of the art completed. The illustrator might have finished his part, but once characters are in game, they not only have to look like themselves, but also different from the others in the game. This semi-realistic style demands a bit more detail in a face than the general ā€œSame face, different hair and eye styleā€ people generally get away with in straight anime art.

I’m cool with Maxima, and he’s a main for me in XIII. Varying degrees of success in other games, haha. Those HUGE mutton chops, distinctly masculine face, and surprisingly well slicked back hair all fit him to me. I like how his team’s gloves are all more mechanical, and fit well with his overwhelming mechanization here. The lighting on the armor might be a bit too strong, making it look almost like Old-school VR or something that’s almost Toon-shaded, but we’ll see if that improves as time goes on.

Always thought he had the best side burn/ slick back hair combo I’ve ever seen.
