Is this new?
Yep, SNK Playmore just added this image on their homepage
Based of the design of Kyo it looks like the game will be like XDZW graphic wise.
Yes.
As long as the frame rate, game feel, and normal throws aren’t like XDZW. The original trailers for XDZW had pretty good frame rates then it look like they throttled the game later on. XDZW just doesn’t look good in motion for me with how it is now.
There is no reason to assume the game will be screenshot sprites and not just full on 3D.
Hopefully they cash in on the Orochi saga again ( Kappa to that other guy that didn’t want them to do this) but with a little something new on the side obviously.
We need Chizuru, Shermie back looking as kawaii than ever, Yashiro back at his high tier, and Chris back at his high tier glory. Ah’ 98…
I honestly feel like they should just forget a story entirely, make a dream match, have Rugal invite everyone to a tournament again, throw in as many characters as you possibly can, and make a definitive “current gen” KoF game. Like, 98 is such a good game that it is basically the go to KoF in most countries. When 98 isn’t the go to, it’s some version of 02. And those two games and their variations get more play than every other KoF ever because of how good they are. I don’t feel like XIII holds up to this and people are going to stop giving a shit when it stops being the new KoF. They need a game with the roster and movelists of a UM game, everything else is secondary. They need a game that is going to bring in KoF players of any game, and that is purely going to take characters. Hopefully the mechanics are also very solid and designed well, which I think SNK is more than capable of doing, but if you take away the argument of “I would play it but ________ isn’t in it,” you’re going to pull in numbers.
The timing for a 3D rendered game is wrong for anything related to the series anniversary.
Truth. I’m thinking a 98UM or XI sized roster would be perfect for a new game.
this short movie tries to unite KOF, FF and Garou, demonstrating that KOF took place in the same timeline as FF
Rugal is also mentioned, Geese and Kain too.
It was said the game will be in 3d with a 2d feel, And based on the design, yeah… there is reason to assume.
Someone quoted an employee saying “this is going to be a new KOF 3D game”. What if they mean the gameplay? 
SF4 is 3D with a 2D feel and not a single instance of the game is screenshot sprites. Again, there is no reason to assume it won’t just be full on 3D models in a 3D world running in real time like SF4 or Xrd are.
Siliconera got in touch with SNK Playmore to ask whether it’ll be a 3D game, to which they responded, “Indeed, a new installment in 3D in the KOF series is currently in preparation.”
I guess by 3D they’re talking about the gameplay O.O
They still recruiting people? We won’t see this game probably until the end of next year,lol
What makes you say that? It’s a very Japanese thing to refer to the game as 3D because of the models. ASW calls Xrd a 3D game. I don’t think Japan even uses 2D and 3D to refer to gameplay like North America does.
Like I said At this point I no longer care, bring that maximum impact shit just give something snk.
