In my opinion, CPS3 is the ulimate piece of 2D hardware, God himself couldnt of made a better peice of hardware for 2D fighters. Why did capcom have to gay out by using Naomi variations, even with their new game, CFJ, which from the videos ive seen, looks like a replica of CVS2 (not disrespect to CVS2). I would of LOVED to see capcom produce more fighters on the CPS3 hardware rather than continuing to produce stuff on Naomi, that system just didnt get the respect it deserved. Neo-Geo has been around since 600BC and still has a strong following, so theres no reason why capcom couldnt of supported CPS3 for a lot longer than it did, consider CPS3 is worlds better than Neo-Geo.
How well did SF3 / Warzard / Jojo’s do? Yeah.
They were just ahead of their time.
cuz capcoms wallets were after too…
I don’t think it’s an issue that “SNK hardware is old and sucks” (because it kinda does nowadays) so much as CAPCOM WON’T REDRAW SAKURA.
Or any other given Alpha sprite that appears in a non-Alpha game and thus looks like a freaking C&P job.
At least all the KoF characters look like they’re in the same game. Yeah, they all look a bit mediocre in this day but it’s at least consistently mediocre.
(Disclaimer: I like SNK as much as I do Capcom.)
mvs (snk) hardware is old as shit, and therefore cheap, and all over the fucking world.
seriously.
kof is played EVERYWHERE BUT north america.
thats why it has such a strong following.
poor sales of sf3/cps3 systems=low distribution and capcom losing money.
the naomi had a large distribution cause damn near everything that’s come out recently runs on it.
what with the arcades dieing, and how relatively little capcom seems to care, why should they make new games for hardware that’s not nearly as common, and at more cost to themselves?
Yes I know, place most of the blame on Capcom for not follwing through with the CPS3 and releasing its later games such as CVS1 and CVS2 on it and redrawing all the sprites for CPS3. But I partially blame us SF’ers for not picking up and making it popular. How stupid we were :tdown:
True true, when SNK releases KOF 2192, they can be sure it will be distrubed to every damn arcade in the world since everybody and their mother has a neo-geo cab laying around somewhere they can stick it into. But still, capcom should of known they were holding onto the greatest thing to ever hit mankind and still followed through with the CPS3.
Ughhh… Don’t even get my started on Morrigan. Seriously.
CPS3 is hella vulnerable to voltage spikes I heard. The games come on CD with an encryption dongle…it takes a couple hours to “load” the game from the CD for the first time. The hardware is delicate and expensive. Changing a game on a CPS3 board takes a lot of time.
Never heard of jojo or warzard but thats attributable to me being out the scene a fair bit.
I just know that SF3 graphics are awesome. they’re so smooth and flow so nicely. CVS2 for instance is pretty shed looking when compared. Such a shame CFE isnt getting the hardware used for it :\
edit: though at least it wont look like KOF games…man, or play like them come to think of it. i have nothing against bad graphics if the GAMEPLAY (you listening kof?) is there but kof decided to throw its sorry ass out the window
Uhm no, there are CPS3 games without a CD and you have to load the ram cartridge only once and it does not take hours but between 20 and 30 minutes. After that you hit the switch and the game starts. All you have to do is change the cd and the ram cart. That takes appr. 50 seconds.
SNK moved on, Neo-Geo is gone.
We’ll have to wait until SF4/DS4 to see a potential CPS-3(4?) title. Capcom isn’t going to redraw(everything) for a dreammatch.
The term of CPS-3, the system itself is one of the greatest thing that Capcom created. With these arguments, there is nothing you can do than just agree your god, hail to CPS-3 my son, the system features with ultimate generated colors and power to increase the games playability and limit.
CPS-3 has already pointed the existence and I say it again my dear utopia friends! This is the true generation of the power of 2D-Fighting games. There nobody, no one of the priority has a single chance for this existence. The only lack of cabilites was the CPS3’s suicide battery.
Compare this with MVS, MVS is the true pathetic machine.
Thank god it died now. The games was pure miserable too. Capcom simple owns them all godlike, in term of 2D-fighting game. Nobody, and I say nobody can beat and compare with 3:rd strike [MOTW is just a joke]. Seriously, even Warzard and Jojos are much better than MOTW.
I still cant believe that CPS-3 actually died, because of the lack of games and our thoughts. Its a shame that it died…
The battery is hardly a problem. It’s life span is min. 5 and max. xx years. From a an operaters point of view, if you have a game that still gets quarters after 5 years, you’ll more then gladly pay the 100 bucks to get the battery exchanged.
STFU, you either do know nothing about arcades and arcade history or you are just a plain troll. Which ever it is you’re retarted either way.
Unlike the CPS3 which was indeed a powerful machine, the MVS was TRULY ahead of it’s time. It corpse has just been raped for to long.
I agree that MVS lived longer than CPS-3 for its popular, but CPS-3 is still stronger than MVS. What question would you answer if CPS-3 still lived for today?
Those SNK cheaply bastards, they are lucky that CPS-3 died before MVS did. You would have no idea what CPS-3 could done it my son.
[May god be with you]
Bear in mind MVS came out when CPS1 was what SF was running on…Can you imagine if instead of releasing old shit like Fatul Fury 1 they had really known how to tap into its power and put out something like Mark of the Wolves? I’d have dumped sf2 in a second.
Wow. Discussion of an arcade board manages to degrade into an SNK bashing thread. This forum never fails to deliver.
i never liked the way the snk fighters play, they dont feel as smooth as the SF series to me. capcom vs SNK 2 i really didnt like since it didnt feel like a capcom game to me, waste of money. i basically bought it to play eagle but he had a crappy moveset.
they don’t feel as smooth, because the inputs for commands and whatnot are more specific. they’re not as leinient. you can’t do a tk motion, and expect to get instant air fireball(i don’t think you can at least… i haven’t played any SNK games after i started to learn marvel… so i forget)
