Title: KOF XIV discussion thread
Post by: Tazzer on September 17, 2015, 06:47:05 PM
So it's been officially announced that KOF XIV is coming 2016.   I'm hoping that the teaser trailer that accompanied the announcement is not the final product and VERY early in development.   That being said, It's KOF so I'll buy it either way.   I've been a long time fan of the series.   Also has to be mentioned that the game will be PS4 exclusive.  Kind of an odd thing to do, IMO, when SNK could use all the money they can get.

In the teaser, Iori seems to have his powers again.   I'm hoping that means that We'll see Chizuru back in this installment.   In theory, she should also have her powers again because by the end of the last game... Ash never happened.

I want Chizuru, Blue Mary and Billy back.  Beyond that, I don't care who else is on the roster.  Infact, just give me Chizuru and I can be persuaded to temporarily forget stick boy and what's-her-name. 

What do you guys think?   Any wishlists?

Everybody has been complainin' about the graphics, because those models looks outdated from PS2 era, but even then, Luis said "Damn, even for an early version those graphics are UGLY. Kyo looks hideous!".

It's only a placeholder, so i do not know how it will turn out, but looking at the Yami Barai, the particles and special effects/lighting are also pretty laughable. Jesus Christ. So, inb4, it's a new MI (Maximum Impact), or a reboot, so it does not feature 3D movement at all. It lacks soul, and this one looks very bland. The faces in the background does not give a lot of hope either.

Although, January 21st is a mistake, so there's no set release other than "2016"

The final product will look much better, ladies and gentlemen. What I don't understand is why the switch from 2-D to 3-D. 2-D King of Fighters are superior to 3-D.

I agree.   2D is way better for KOF.   I don't see why they didn't just continue with the style of the last game.   It was great.

2D takes more work and is more expensive.

Well tbh as magma said....its pretty much hella expensive  annnnd take a whole lot of time. Kof12.....16 to 17 months per character. And they had a team of 10 artists.  So split that up to how many characters between the 10 artists and then who knows how many others that helped with much more cause spriter artists arent even the programmers , then there is the bg artists and so on and so on.  It gets very very expensive and when your budget isnt in the green.....forget about it. 3d is much less expensive and do not really require a lot of hands on extras. But that depends on the devs production time and budget.

They can do better frames with 3d and the the modeling faster in most cases that those awesome sprites. But kof12 sucked. 13 was better. I didnt like the roid factors of some the characters. KOF should shine no matter the graphics style ( i rather have pretty ones than ugly ones tho) if the gameplay is tight as should be.  Try to do a comparison. .. 3d modelin and rigging a character for some simple animations vs hand drawing every single frame as smooth a bit as kof12 ( or 13 ) had. The time and workload of spriting them is horrendous.

Wont matter much i gues cause 2d fighters are becoming a pastime and traded up with 3d even if cel shaded style , is what they are gonna be striving for and less theft maybe.

Sure did, not sure how much in the red on finances they were but when they got bought by that chinese company they at least got a budget for this game. How much it is.....not sure. It aint probably as large as what sony doin for capcom for sf5  but hopefully the devs make good enough work with whatever the budget is.

I would go as good as can with whatever much they have and keep quality on point. Dont need 36 characters if ya dont have the budget for it and make due with what you got in the green for and do them well. The visuals will be upped as we come to find out , so i just want the gameplay to be on point with it.

I agree. I like KOF13 way better than KOF12. I never liked KOF12 because of lack of ending and it had only one ending. It was quite boring as s***. When I first watched the video of KOF14, I was unimpressed and wanted the 2D but now I respect in what they are doing in 3D. Less expensive than hand-drawing.

Lol true , i seen that around at other spots but people have different takes on what they think in referencing 3d vs 2d. For some its the graphics and others its the gameplay. For me its both. SF5 is 3d graphics on a 2.5 D plane gameplay wise vs say....Dead or alive where its 3d graphics with 3d arena in which you can sidestep and move around the entire arena. Unless you can count that all the fighting takes place in most 3d fighters on a 2d plane but with the ability to move around then well yup.

Then there is the 2d which people affiliate  to sprite based only and 2d gameplay only.  They just never say sprites. Just 2d pertaining to graphics style mostly cause the gameplay wise is a given it wont have 3d movement at all. Fighting game genre.....such a weird but wonderful place and group. lol

I ive been a way some time but when I glanced at just the pics on FB at the time a while back I really payed it no mind....I seriously thought it was a modded version of Maximum impact some one was screwing around with. that's how bad in quality it looked to me^^....I didn't realize it was for real until 2 days later when a co worked asked me ,,,"Yo did you see that mess of a Kof 14??"...I was shocked THAT was actually KOF14,,,,

@Enso

The sad reality of KOF 12 was it was incomplete ....rumor has it Ralph and a few other characters were also on the disc but not finished, It was rushed since they needed the money er somethin. So Actually KOF 13 IS Kof 12......The complete one...I read all this at that SNK forum back then....

but anyway smh....that game looks horrible in quality....

Post by: Tha Lando ( Le CROM ) on September 26, 2015, 01:47:39 PM
Yeah indeed those graphics are pretty dated for a ps4 title .  Word is tho thats not the finished polish of the game and the graphics are gonna be updated so gives hope that the more complete game look will be much more better quality. I am praying so cause it looks like a small update to MI 2 more than a reinvention 3d to date kof game.

So basically this trailer of sorts is or was just to show they are workin on a new game, big thanks to the chinese company thats financially backin them. If they can up that quality to the near level of their pachinko games character graphics then that would be a win win for everyone. Crossin my fingers they go a much better route cause as is right now.....its not as good as it should or could be.

Took me an hour to write this without flying into a rant.

Not sure how to feel about this. Kneejerk reaction says "let it alone, you've F***ed KOF up enough already SNK", maybe they've finally learned, or perhaps this is just another cash in like the last 2. But lets see.

Gawd help me  8=|

its horrible.....plain and simple....sh*tty way for KOF to go out.....it would have been great if Arc system works bought the company and rebirthed the series.....Imagine an a NEW dream match game or even all new Fatal Fury game with Rock much older along with Terry? Sprites re drawn like those Guilty Gear games & Blazblue?

eh just a thought

I feel ya bro. Its really crappy if this is the final look . But heard its not so HOPEFULLY it looks much better. It would been great if they went the hd sprites way like guilty gear or blazblue...but ya seen what GG is now....no more sprites, 3d models cel shaded. I can take guesses why they went that route.  ;)  , i bet blaz blue will be next to follow too.

Kof needs a major upgrade if 3d, this ritht now.......bleh at its best. Doa2 and 3 looks better than this and its ps2 graphics wise right now. No where near what a ps4 can do and how it shoukd look. They either need better artists and modelers or release this for a ps3 only and it still would be bleh.

^^(PM)^  :DxDie indeed man . Huge piece and harvest crop wise! !!   :D
 Wtf are they thinkin let alone doing? Added makin this a ps4 ...exclusive?  They done lost their minds. Their devs could only get this far?  The graphics are.....ps2 worthy at best and those hit sparks and fx......gtfoh snkp those are corn.  The characters look so arggg awful pixlated against the bg its ridiculous. Look like cardboard cutouts.

They shoulda went free software engines for developing this game  like unreal or unity, hell bee cool to use Havok engine. Coulda used a low budget or free graphical programs to create everything like autodesk softimage, 3d max, Daz studio or somethin to bring these characters upgrade quality for a ps4 exclusive.  Kof 13 looks better than this. If money was an issue i woulda suggested they went with what i listed above or maybe the design team needs to go back to the drawing board. I would wait 2 years for a decent looking new kof 14 uprade graphics in 3d but this is craptacular right now and its trailer 2!!!  They seem to be rushin this sucker and its not looking buy a ps4 worthy at all.

Well they need to improve those graphics too while they so called at it. The internet memes are having a field day with the game. lol. Gameplay wise its lookin up but can tell it gots some stiffness to it and added that some frames are skippy. I rather it be a kof MI3 than a new kof base game. But i still gonna keep an eye on it since i am a kof fan.

"Back in our days, the Neo Geo had restrictiona and we only had the option of going by pixel art. But even back then, there were high-quality 3D games like "Virtua Fighter", and it was certainly something I wanted to try if we had a good PCB. 2D pixel art is still something that remains as a culture, and I know there's a lot of people that like them. I like them too. But on the other hand as a developer, there's always the unconfortable feeling that there's no tomorrow if you can't keep up with the times, the progress, and new technology. So it's a hard decision."
I find that truly sad.

 Right there. That tells me all I need to know. They've no faith in their product. Rather then stand on their own merit and proven legacy. They've already hi-Res'ed half the roster in the last game, it would cost less to just finish what they've already started,so after 3 bankruptcies, they're still bleeding cash chasing after other franchises. What if 'Visual Concepts' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Concepts)brings back 'Clay Fighters' and its a hit? Will we see a stop-motion KOF too? It's ridiculous, this man should be fired.   

I rather it be a kof MI3 than a new kof base game.

You know what tho sky79? ....i am gonna be serious and say he has a portionable point. That bold black you done does speak both bad and good in truth. Cause as devs you MUST keep up with the times and tech, yes, but i do not agree with his method he put into the outcome of the game.  Its like they decided to poop out something quick to grasp kof fans rather than focus on what got them their recognition. He is trying to capitalize on the todays new gen graphics but done them no justice. Smh

Now if he was SMART he should have steered it into the direction that actually fits KOF which is HD like guilty gear previous and now or went a blazblue,  under night in birth, DBFC , persona 4 arena style sprites. Now those engulf the " Anime " look which fits KOF. I watched the kof short movie.....they should have went HR//Hd sprites instead of this way. 

Now where i can agree with him on todays outlook of "retro 2d" yeah its more held higher in esteem and respect for Nostalgics like ....us. If you dont believe in your product then your not gonna put passion and love what your doin to sell and create something outstanding as this should be and not......this. Hell i would take 3d cell shaded ( no roids please ) anime style look in pixels than what they crappin out.  I love 3d to death and i love hr hd 2d just as much. Could have 3d modeled but cell shaded these joints and made the frames smooth and hr fx and it would be platinum Gold!

Ok rant over and yes man ....its ps2 Kof MI3! lol. They need to not go for realism or tryin to keep up with sf5 look cause it aint workin in their favor. A GG Xrd style but kof character porportions would been superior.
Title: Re: KOF XIV Announced
Post by: sky79 on December 13, 2015, 11:07:17 AM
Totally agree Crom.

 And to your nostalgia point; The clearly low quality in the new 3D models would actually work for a MI3 release. You and I see SF3 or GG hi res sprites as nostalgic, kids now might just see this the same way. They might remember the old MI, see this and think that's what they're going for, throw in some early 2000's humor, and this might work.

Bring the storylines to their conclusion, throw in a few more Fighter's History characters (Ray & Feilin damn it!) and they've really got something here. Heck, they had Mizoguchi in Regulation-A. 
(click to show/hide)

2D still has a strong presence in fighting games, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma is an undeniable hit, and SNK's KOF12 brought forth a style uniquely theirs. It would work. But, you know what would be awesome? Cut a deal with Capcom and add a SF character team to sweeten the pot.

No offense, but I don't think everyone is getting their priorities straight here. Sure, it'd be nice if the game looked nice, but that's not what's really important here. It's the gameplay and the characters that make KoF, and from what I've seen, all of that looks top-notch, especially this early into development. When it comes to what really matters, this could rank up with the greatest KoF's out there.

That said, I understand where you're all coming from here to some extent. After all, KoF XIII was still 2D and it looked amazing, so why not just stick to 2D? The problem is that, since they'd likely have to make the game for the PS4 instead of the PS3, people would be expecting new and even better graphics instead of just reusing the same old ones from the PS3, and the sprites for KoF XII/XIII already took 5 years and a ton of moolah to finish. Part of this was because they made the 3D models first and then drew over them, which made for amazing animation, but at the cost of taking so long that they had to whip out KoF XII in an unfinished state just to have something to show, and then it still took them a year or two to finish everything up for KoF XIII. They also had to reduce the roster size and the movesets for many characters because of just how long it took to make everything. When it comes to sheer practicality, 2D -- or at least the rotoscoping method they used -- probably wasn't the best route to go.

Now, by just making 3D models as opposed to spriting over them, they have more time to add in more moves and, more importantly, add in more characters. It may not look as nice, but it's more cost-efficient and less time-consuming than using rotoscoping. In fact, the game's been in development since Spring 2014, and SNK has stated that they're already 70% through development, so it seems that going 3D was, from a practical standpoint, the best choice. And again, looking at gameplay videos and reading detailed analyses from those who have actually played the current build, the gameplay itself is more than up to snuff. At the least, you might want reserve judgement until you play the game, because by all counts, it looks like it'll be a heck of a time. Just don't expect it to be the best-looking game you'll ever play.

Ok i get your view and most def gameplay is the top priority in any game, thats a must have from the door. Much respect man on that big time.  Now that aside i know how long it takes to do high quality sprites, its not simple.....especially for a small team. Yes. Even for a large team its a train wreck. But again there is another viewpoint missing and thats this aint a ps2 or a 3. This is a ps4 and todays gamers like many look at graphics very seriously.  Remember its not just us nostalgia people who play these games, they make a lot more money on casuals and new purchasers more than niche fan bases who wax and wain cause if they only hoped it just would appeal tl the older gen gamers they wont make nearly as much as they truly want to.  Graphics as well can make and break a game just like gameplay does. I can tell you for dang sure no one i know in my large gaming circlemis gonna copp a ps4 and then throw down 60 plus dollars for a outdated in visual game. And they been playin since the begining of snk coming into the market.  As gen and tech gets better.... the games MUST equate up as well.

Sorry i am not droppin 400 plus for a console and still drop another 60 for a lesser  game that is no where near where by todays standards in games.....its dang near 2 gens back .....now tho I would drop the cash if its the gen console worthy.  If they stuck to strictly 2d sprites i would be fine with that ...long as its ramped up to equal out what i am paying for all around.  See... they are going into 3d realm gfx which is awesome but those gfx are hardly  up to Usf4.  if this was free , i wouldnt give too much to hardly a snare at the gfx being as they are....but its not free....they want my money...so i want better quality other than whats shown cause as stands i will play it but i aint gonna buy it cause its not beckoning me to purchase a ps4 to play it.  Thats how business is when your tryin to be exclusive to one console.

If people are fine with their gfx and pretty much just happy to get a new kof game, then cool, no problem and enjoy....but no one should fret  at others out here who even tho are just as big of fans, desire more for their hard earned cash.  Earn my money, dont give me whatever craziness this is right nlw as looks ( which is what i am only going by cause there may not be a serious change in gfx at this point which we all can just hope they touch this up plenty more and not just gfx wise but gameplay too.

Hell i wouldnt mind at all if they took more time to focus on the game and make it better. They should.  It would be  ( I pray ) much more worth it than as is. I ammgiving it time and the clock is tickin. I still say and agree with sky79 and a few others on many points and totally too .  I personally think 3d cell shaded would have been perfect and its far less time than spriting., 3d models could be cleaner and more pop worthy,  Andy looks like a chick ( big O made me laugh cause its true lol) .  Ok thats all sorry for  the notebook bro. #brofists

Hell i wouldnt mind at all if they took more time to focus on the game and make it better. They should.  It would be  ( I pray ) much more worth it than as is. I ammgiving it time and the clock is tickin. I still say and agree with sky79 and a few others on many points and totally too .  I personally think 3d cell shaded would have been perfect and its far less time than spriting., 3d models could be cleaner and more pop worthy,  Andy looks like a chick ( big O made me laugh cause its true lol) .  Ok thats all sorry for  the notebook bro. #brofists

Again, I see where you're coming from, and I also understand the importance of graphics when it comes to bringing in new players. But even if it doesn't look good, that doesn't mean people should write it off for that alone, which is what seems to be happening here. If push came to shove, what would you rather have; a game that looks gorgeous but plays like crap, or a game that plays amazingly but looks like garbage? And I actually don't think KoFXIV looks that bad. From a stylistic standpoint, I actually think it looks better than USFIV. The characters certainty aren't as ugly for one thing.

But really, at this point, it's too early to tell either way. They've still got a year to finetune the graphics, and it's possible that they were holding off on that until the rest of the game was about finished up. I still don't think it will look amazing by any means, but that doesn't mean it can't be a taken up a few notches from where it currently is.

Indeed it can go up a few more notches and i for 1 and hoping it does. Nahhhh i am not writing it off and yes folks out there are and i can see their viewpoints. I feel ya too bro and you made excellent points too.

I wouldnt get either game..... i am a consumer and a fan. I dont have disposible money either so i want the best bang for my hard earned (   :-$ and dont tell how i make my money from panhandling to senoir citizens.....oh crap.... o.O# lol ) bucks and change.
Trust me if i thought sfv looked corny i wouldnt buy it, if it played badly i wouldnt buy it.
At least equal it out , not expecting perfection but I want whats worth it.

Like i told my buddy .....i am thinkin business wise and consumer wise when comes to this day and era games more seriously than i usually do. Kof14 is by far not the ugliest game but i just see very subpar work done for a title that i care deeply about by a good company that for which is makin a ps4 exclusive. ....should come out swingin since kof13.

Its still got time tho so imma netflix and chill but i wish they do seriously make sure this isnt the final product gfx.....some them gameplays too. Its cool but its not shlwn worth to me to fet excited about buying . Not yet.  The visuals come up. ...then i am game cause it be much more worth me buyin a ps4 for just other than sfv as a fighting game.

I might be gettin senile cause i am old and cranky.  :D

Don Quan.

I remember reading up on SNK's notes, he's based on a young Steven Seagal, with a 'ladies man' twist. If you think about it that way, it kinda fits. Don't get me wrong, I still think this whole thing is a mess. But this particular move makes sense.

I already see Kyo and Benimaru as part of one team. Leona, Ralf, and Clark are part of one as well. There is also K', Kula, and Maxima on one team. Terry and Andy are a part of one team. Chang and Choi are part of a team. That leaves only Chin, Tung, King, Iori, The King of Dinosaurs, Angel, Robert and Kyo.
Title: Re: KOF XIV Announced
Post by: Magma MK-II on March 11, 2016, 01:17:47 PM
King of Dinosaurs is likely to be on the same team with Angel, if he's indeed Tizoc and that leak list was true.
Title: Re: KOF XIV Announced
Post by: Mephisto Maker on March 11, 2016, 03:36:57 PM
i think the current teams will be:

Kyo/Benimaru/???(maybe iori?)
K/Maxima/Kula(or she will be back to nests?)
Leona/Ralf/Clark
Terry/Andy/King of Dinosaurs(if him is really tizoc.)
Chang/Choi/Maybe Jhun
Tung/Chin/???
Athena/Kensou/Bao or Momoko
King/???/???
Robert/???/???
Angel/K'999(maybe it is impossible, but who knows?)/???

who i hope:
Chris/Shermie/Yashiro
Lin(or Eiji, but i prefer Lin)
K'999(i hate that Nameless character, but i don't know if them can use him because of rights)
Rugal Bernstein
Adelheid Bernstein
Foxy(i know they will put she with angel)
Vanessa/Ramon/Seth(i don't want ramon with a team he don't know anyone, the one who created that fake list was a idiot, and why it have a brazilian ninja?, i am brazilian, don't exist ninjas here!, it is not even in our culture!)

i don't trust that list, it was fake, they did not even know about the king of the dinosaurs,etc
Title: Re: KOF XIV Announced
Post by: Magma MK-II on March 11, 2016, 07:40:41 PM
So, let's go by parts.

Quote
Kyo/Benimaru/???(maybe iori?)

Definitely not, it'll be Daimon.

Quote
Terry/Andy/King of Dinosaurs(if him is really tizoc.)

Nope, it'll be Joe for sure. Like I said, if KoD is indeed Tizoc he'll be on Angel team.

Quote
Chang/Choi/Maybe Jhun

It'll be either Kim or, if the leak is true, a new character.

Quote
Tung/Chin/???
Athena/Kensou/Bao or Momoko

Chin will be with Athena and Kensou, leak or not.

Quote
Chris/Shermie/Yashiro

They're dead for good, won't happen unless they do some a**pull.

Quote
Lin(or Eiji, but i prefer Lin)

I'd like to see Lin back again, making a full Hizoku team with Duolon and Xiaolon.

Quote
K'999(i hate that Nameless character, but i don't know if them can use him because of rights)

Won't happen in a thousand moons, for legal reasons and because SNKP hates the character.

Quote
Rugal Bernstein
Adelheid Bernstein

Unlikely, though it would certainly be cool.

Quote
Foxy(i know they will put she with angel)

While I don't hate the character, she definitely doesn't belong in KoF.

Quote
Vanessa/Ramon/Seth

If the list is fake I'd definitely like this one. And if they bring Seth back I hope they revamp his moveset.

Quote
the one who created that fake list was a idiot, and why it have a brazilian ninja?, i am brazilian, don't exist ninjas here!, it is not even in our culture!

We don't have green electric beastmen as well. And the Ninja as portrayed in fiction never existed as well.

@Magma MK-II

1st:yes, you're right
2nd:what make you think it will be joe?, in 2k3, tizoc is in terry's team, and he definitely DON'T will be on angel's team, as he has nothing to do with nests.
3rd:that list is not true for sure, i found a bunch of fake lists around net, trust me.
4th:who knows, everything is possible(2k/2k1 and xi proves it)
5th:Ron revived them in 2k2, them later appeared in kof xiii in a stage spying the fight, why not?
6th:Yeah.
7th:yes, but who knows Nameless or someone looking like him in gameplay appears?
8th:anyone knows, they're is basing themselves on 98 and 2k2, both have rugal
9th:why?
10th:it is a nice team, rope them are coming back in this one.
11th:but if them gonna make a brazilian character, it have to be a little realist, something in brazilian culture(please, not a female capoeira fighter, it is cliche). and a note, blanka don't make part of snk universe, and ninja is japanese, NOT brazilian

I don't think they'll skip Joe, not when the roster is so large, and they only ever skipped him once.

And NESTS, for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist anymore.

Quote
9th:why?

For the same reason Crimson Viper doesn't belong in Street Fighter.

As if characters from other countries were very realist to begin with. Though I like when Brazilian characters are not beastmen or capoerists for a change.

as you can see, it is 3d portraits and not pictures, the background of that fake image uses the same as kof xiii as you can see here:
(click to show/hide)

and also on the false image, has some image editing programs open.

nakoruru comes from samurai shodown, samurai shodown is on the same world as the king of fighters them just occurs in differents times. and nests or not, angel is a evil character, if king of dinosaurs are tizoc he has also nothing to do with a secret agent, as he is a Wrestler, and ramon and tizoc are good characters, and where is yamazaki?, really, IF this is real, kof xiv is a great fail of snk. but i'm sure this is fake. although i would like geese as one of the playable roster...

The picture is a quick mockup with artworks and clearly NOT the actual select screen. Like I said most of it looks legit, all characters revealed so far are spot on on those artworks. The pictures clashing the most are those of Alice (clearly a cut-paste render from those pachinkos), the first character on the China Team and that "Official Invitation" team.

You don't get Wrestling, do you? Wrestlers change from good to bad (Face and Heel) and vice-versa every now and then whenever they want to spice things up. So far it's never revealed if KoD is really Tizoc or if he's really a Heel Wrestler. Really, Chang and Choi are back to their criminal ways, why couldn't Angel become good?

SS is not on the same canon as KoF.

There's really nothing to say whether it is or isn't either way. While it's true that SS never gets referenced in KoF, there's nothing saying that it couldn't have taken place in the KoF timeline, being so far back in the past and all. Besides, if Last Blade can be part of the KoF canon, (and it is, thanks to Eiji being Zantetsu's decendant and all,) why not SS?

And speaking of which, KoF might have it's own decendant from SS too. It took a while, but in SS Sen, the last game in the series, they added in Kim Hae-ryeong, who looks like Kim, shares a name with Kim, and even has some of Kim's moves. If that isn't a link to KoF, I don't know what is.

Part of that is because, well, let's face it; aside from Kasumi or maybe Sinclair, none of the new characters werea actually good. They weren't bad persay, but they just weren't very interesting, which is a shame, because AoF3 was a good game. At least we got Kasumi out of it.

Though I don't think it really matters anyway. The latest trailer all but confirms the latest leaks, which means the only new character from SNK's other fighters we're getting is Nakoruru. Speaking of which...

Yes, she's a new character. I must say, that design is quite over-the-top, even for KoF. Some of her moves remind me of Tesse from Waku Waku 7.

Part of that is because, well, let's face it; aside from Kasumi or maybe Sinclair, none of the new characters werea actually good. They weren't bad persay, but they just weren't very interesting, which is a shame, because AoF3 was a good game. At least we got Kasumi out of it.

Either Karman Cole or Jin Fuha would be good additions.

...If you were going to say that, then why did you say SS takes place in a different canon in the first place?

SS does take place in a different canon. That's not to say a different Nakoruru can't exist in the KoF universe. KoF canon just takes the other games events into consideration instead of placing them in the same canon (like with the Fatal Fury canon, where AoF takes place 30 years before and Geese is dead for good).

vice is amazing  :thumbsup:

Definitely! Glad to see they returned her to her classic 98/2002 gameplay!

Found a good translation:

Quote
Sylvie

A remaining survivor from the Nests cartel who can control electromagnetic power at will.

NESTS treated Sylvie as completely useless since she couldn't bring out her potential back when the cartel was around, but she later woke up to her powers and started making use of it in the underground fighting scene after the organization had demolished.

From there, she was scouted by the tournament organizer of the KOF tournament.

honestly... I do.

That some kind of a problem?

Not really. Thing is, she's not a really popular character and has almost no plot relevance outside of the Sacred Treasures arc.
Title: Re: KOF XIV Announced

I know.  Not only that, she's been out of the games for a long while too.  Thanks to her loosing her powers to Ash.   However, now that has been corrected, I'm sure they can make her relevant again.   She was just really fun to use and I liked her character.

I was holding out at least a little bit of hope, but not stupid enough to hold my breath on it.   She'll be back or she won't, nothing I can do about it.  I can still wish though.

SS does take place in a different canon. That's not to say a different Nakoruru can't exist in the KoF universe. KoF canon just takes the other games events into consideration instead of placing them in the same canon (like with the Fatal Fury canon, where AoF takes place 30 years before and Geese is dead for good).

...Aaaaaah. I get you. The SS games themselves take place in a different canon than KoF, just all of the non-KoF games do, but that doesn't mean the the characters and events of SS still couldn't have happened in KoF. Which really ends up sounding like a matter of semantics more than anything else. There's some differences between the FF/AoF and the KoF canons, sure, mainly due to the necessity of needing to have the events of the different games happen around the same time for KoF, but SS takes place so far back in the past that there shouldn't be any differences between what happened in the SS and KoF timelines regarding them. Having to say that the events of SS could still have happened in the KoF timeline rather than that SS is canon to it just sounds like a lot of needless workaround.

yeah I kinda figured something was up with that one because for one I don't remember any KOF game being called that and the hyper background I believe is from another game which was a dead give away.

Terry always been the king of freestyle slang in his moves in all the games.

Like for a power wave he may say "Rock you!" then later be saying "Power wave". He has like two different calls for his attacks

Team Kim... I liked Kim, but that femme, she's like new dimension to his gameplay and sexy one at that :P Heavy dude at other hand feels more similar to Kim than needed. I know that they are sharing martial art, but sons in Garou and wife(she's a wife, right?) here managed to deviate nicely, Kim from Kizuna Encounter have staff(don't remember though which relations he is with KOF Kim, alternate universe or different time, but still). Could have something more distinguishing, don't know, maybe focusing on sending opponent flying and droppin with heavy kicks.
That said, maaaan that necksnapping move...  =P~ :D

The thing that I'm pleased most with this game - there many newcomers and they are actually good, great even. I'm looking at Hein and I know that I'd enjoyed playing as him a lot, same goes for Kukri, Luong and others. Roster is big and diverse, and newcomers only adding to that diversity, like whole South America team, it's boxing, capoeira and even brazilian ninjutsu. Some fresh blood indeed :thumbsup:

Yeah, I'm also liking Jenet, wish it was Team Garou with Jenet, Freeman and Gato, but if they'll make Team Garou it'll be with Rock...

I do like how the game has progressed. The supers alone have me on edge , I like the chaining ability and the plethora of modes and roster size is really great. My only gripes are the animations during gameplay are Skippy as heck on those frames in many areas and not as smooth as the supers are  and even tho the models quality has improved a bit more better they still seem sorta bland as hell in graphic quality using a powerhouse ps4  hardware  so it doesn't quite matchup balanced  in that area. Its still looks dated models wise like its stuck in ps2.5 mode and better looking Maximum impact regulation A models. I see what they are going g for but they should have went a Lil farther. Overall its purchasable and I will enjoy it minus the faults I wish they improved on a bit more. Hell least their hair is better than sfv kens and got more than one dang super!!

I'm checking out the demo right now to see whats up


EDIT:

The demo is pretty damn cool. definitely better combos than SFV IMO.....that's just me although I like both games gameplay. This KOF game isn't as stiff. its faster. easy to chain combos. I'm just annoyed I cant use my Boi Terry in the demo :( lol


You only can use

Kyo
Iori
King of dinosaurs
Nelson (the boxer) whos actually cool
Shun'EI
Mai
&
Sylvie paula paula

Backgrounds are bright and vibrant. Design wise of course it doesn't stand up next to DOA 5 or SFV But the speed & combos rivals those latest fighting games. I think folks will have fun because of that alone. But sheeeesh I so wish the char designs were way more up to date up scale better.


I'm still going to get this game. its worth it I can tell

Reading that I'm glad that I didn't jumped on either "SF V" hype train or "KOF XIV" bashing train. Proves to be right bet on KOF, even with not ultra graphics it's more appealing to me and gameplay seems to be more interesting.
To be honest - while I like Nelson I'd liked to see Rick Strowd more, he's one of my favorite characters. Maybe Nelson would be mugenized one day and I'll see personally who's better at face punching :)

@Lando

lol yeah man after seeing how cool the other fighters were. Especially Nelson I was thirst to try terry smh



@Exelord


I think youll like it. The combos are tight. Multiple supers. More speed (which is new). hyper cancels. EX moves. its pretty heavy on gameplay. So for fighting gamers it will keep their attention. Especially with all those chars to choose from. I see This game and Tekken 7 at the end of the light. SFV is cool but they dropped the ball so early upon release n stuff. Capcom was stingy as hell smh. But anyway even though the Graphics are not super "PS4 and XBX1" up to date youll like the game I believe. If you are planning on trying the demo id say go for it.

Personally I like the way sfv was going BEFORE launch and then they Hornswoggled everyone who bought the release just to find out.....nope its not a full game yet.....fooled y'all!!  I still like some of the cast ( r.mika, laura, ken even tho his hair sucks, Cammy rashid mainly ) while the rest so far are ehhhhh or OK. They jerked a lot of people around with that sorry netcode issues, no arcade mode and such and wtf is the point of playing the story when the characters hardly fight back? They tanked on the supers for them by giving them just one and some of their supers are just dull asf  ( fang is main culprit of boooooo super ) and for some reason capcom sucked at blonde hair making. Lol

Kof 14 was dulling my hopes out the gate PRODOMINANTLY cause of the gfx quality. That has always been my main one solid complaint. I am grateful I didn't got full hater cause it improved much better....but still lacking but better suited now than before. So I am fine with the gfx since it has the anime flesh look of kof ( I still would loved to see it more detailed or gg xrd style but ehhh its cool ) and they seriously trying to put their best foot forward on the gameplay mechanics. In all honesty bro exelord .....I rather have kof 14 than sfv if I could only pick one. Flashiness, awesome done varied supers, super cancels into other supers, combo chains galore and not hard at all to do, they have no fear of booty cake and bewb icing so won't be any censoring , plenty of modes , a story in place and a huge roster with possible dlc folks and stuff.....I am sold . Its a must buy for me.

Sadly now I only want SFV cause of r mika , laura cheeks and Cammy. But that's a win for me on them. Giggity giggity. Lol

Hmmmm overall how would you rate this against sfv per say?

as far as a full game? An 8.5. It Loses Points because of the lesser Graphics built BUT its still way more than SFV man. Its an actual full fighting games. a lot of characters and attack features. I can only assume it will LOOK better by next gen console standards in the next game. It looks like a slightly upgraded PS3 game. Like a re mastered PS3 game but for PS4. Other than that I enjoy it way more than SFV single Player mode. I haven't tried it online yet to see how the next code it is but the mission. survival and story mode will definitely keep you entertained offline.

Also I like how the Dude with the Cigar aint the last master^^ Hes just there to uh....soften you up pretty much before the real deal shows up^^. Played it on Normal and even then the CPU AI put up a fight. After I put a dent in Darksouls 2 tonight (which I bought and I'm about to play for the first time) I'm gonna put the game on the hardest difficulty and see how much pain it will dish out lol

Just bought the game recently, big Kof fan since 94, my favorite fighting game ever, heres my two cents about it!
I will not mention obvious things like graphics, has it was more than approached by everyone.
First off let´s start with the "not so great" - The game is somewhat slower than normal, and I hate the easy combo mechanics, Snk games unlike its rivals were always about precision, and not so button mashing. Seems like these 2 decisions were made to facilitate newcomers to the game. I wish you had the option to turn the easy combo off. (The cpu uses it all the time and it is really anoying, as you can clearly see that these are no normal combos, just an automatic chain that feels very robotic)
Secondly they altered some of the physics and timings of the game wish is a little frustrating, specially if you´re used to the previous Kof´s.
The Boss is a bit underwhelming for Kof standards (both of them),mainly because they look like they belong in some other game.
I didn´t like the childish tone and comedic approach in the story mode. Kof always had such rich story and was probably the only fighting game that had a "serious" plot, more like a movie than a game.
Now the good stuff - Bares an excellent roster with lots of characters, that more than make up for the lack of graphics. The gameplay, albeit the reasons I mentioned above, is pretty tight and quite entertaining.
It´s a bit of a mixed bag for me, I am not sorry to have bought it (with a friend it is still a blast), it is just that the developers got so many things right, that is a shame some other things didn´t fall through, but if the developers keep up like this I suppose they can only get better at it!

Everyone wants Rock Howard so bad. I know KoF '02 and UM are non-canon, but Rock was a KID in those games. XD

Getting the obvious ones out before some surprise addition.

Yeah, no surprises until now (And Yamazaki's model looks bad).
Let's wait for some surprises. This is what I most loved in this franchise: to try to guest WHO will appear.

A leak is a sign that game is beginning to grow big. :P

In fact, there were many people who were turned off by Street Fighter V. I think I'm beginning to see a transition here.

I don't trust leaks. I mean, who would want to risk career suicide by leaking private information?
Title: Re: KOF XIV discussion thread
Post by: Laforga on March 23, 2017, 06:33:19 PM
Yeah, except that this guy has been consistently right, until now!

Post by: Slivern on March 23, 2017, 07:48:44 PM
OHHHH MAN I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ROCK HOWARD'S TRAILER COMES OUT

Also, the leak is coming from a Chinese location; bear in mind that with SNK having been bought by Chinese investors, it would seem that SNK's IPs are set to become prevalent within the region soon, so as a result, you have stuff like this. KoF is also getting a CGI animated series that will be voiced in Chinese and Japanese as well...exciting developments indeed! Except for the live action KoFs that are planned.
