Don’t think so, there is a chat but you can only access it when not playing. My headset does have a huge MUTE button but I’m not sure whether that works in an individual basis in-game or not.
That sucks. Those fuckers (along with 12-year olds and singers) used to annoy the hell outta me back when CoD4 was out. But looking at Sony’s track record, they should have something similar to party chat sooner or later.
Damn, I thought I was the only one who always turned the blur off first thing when playing NGBC and XI. I was like, fuck, I am NOT having this fuzzed out crap.
Wasn’t K’ and Elisabeth (new suit) on the promo poster for KOFXII before?
I just noticed something I didn’t want to; this game looks… choppy. Is it me or are some sprites missing? It just doesn’t look as ‘‘smooth’’ as 3S.
Wait, scratch that!!!
It was Elisabeth that was in the promo poster, not K’!

She might end up being one of the console exclusive characters, who knows!
Did you watch some of the Youtube loketest videos in HD/higher quality? It makes quite the difference.
I’ve seen the HD vids. They still don’y seem as smooth as 3S.
Compare.

nothings as smooth as 3s
Something just hit me, WASN’T THAT BITCH ANNOUNCED TO BE IN THIS GAME WHEN IT WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED?!?!?!?!?
But back then it was still supposed to the the 3rd Ash Episode, not a dreammatch.
Ah, okay then.
I do agree that 3S has the smoothest animation yet, just thought you might have seen a few low quality KoF XII vids, which don’t do the game justice.
People that’s seen KOF XII in person say that this is the smoothest 2d fighting game out there even more so than 3s
you gotta watch the vid from the SNK Playmore KOFXII site. Its 60fps there. It doesn’t seem as smooth on youtube cause i think the compression makes the vid more choppy.
http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xii/movie/index.html give it time to load. site’s been slow lately
Thats your reference point. and XII is smoother from that movie
here’s a downloadable and re-encoded version of that video, easier to watch since you can zoom: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2JW09J13
Already saw that, yeah. Not that I’m saying that XII isn’t smooth either, but 3S seems to be more so (look at the knockdown animations in XII compared to 3S for instance).
Not that it matters much to me in general, since XII is still pretty good looking.
ill give u that, the only weak spot in XII’s animation is its falling animations, though i don’t think KOF ever had good falling animations (recovery roll animations do look great though overall)
Wow the game is looking great and the speed is now right where I want it. Sorry, but 3S got nothing on this.:wgrin: It’s smooth enough for me.
Probably or, better, maybe, they’ve already planned which characters would have been in the console version, so they are working on them since the beginning of development…
one of the developers said it himself
they can’t add too many frames to the game because it won’t be kof anymore, just like 3s isn’t st anymore, you want that for kof, hell noo!!
seriously who cares
the only game that could beat 3s animations will have to be garou 2
and kof moves way more faster so you probably can’t catch all the details from watching crappy videos on youtube.
Eh the game is pretty smooth, im just picking at straws really.
the fall down animations do need some wrok though.
