King Of Fighters XIV

[Gryphon]

I realized there wasn't a thread on this yet


So the 2nd trailer dropped today




Looks better than the first trailer but still not looking that good

XIV looks like a PS2 game. It just looks horrible. My expectations on gameplay have been low since I found out the game's director was the battle designer for SFIV.

This looks like butt. I still can't believe they scrapped what they had going with KOF12/13 for this trash.

I was surprised to see the PS4 logo because I honestly thought that it was a portable. Still, if it's mid-price, who doesn't love KoF?

KoF12/13 sprites is a massive money sink.

KoF12/13 sprites is a massive money sink.

Well, it's not like they would need to remake them all over again.

Hopefully this plays good, because it doesn't really look good. And that it's coming off maybe the best looking fighting games ever made isn't doing it any favors.

Making new ones would be the problem. Bringing in old characters that need a touch up to making brand new characters. The newer characters in KoF13 were head swaps (Hwa Jai, Saiki). Making the sprites in any meaningful way would be out of the question as the animators would need to redraw the frames.

Yeah, but if creating an entirely new game from scratch was really a cheaper option than adding a handful of new characters, then they must have went with the cheapest piece of shit engine they could find.

And it shows.

[shades of eternity]

kof13 was one of the best fighting games I've ever played and this feels like a step back.

Did it bomb so badly that this is causing the full overhaul??

edit: and I so want a chaos mode tournament. aka. you select randomly and work with what you got.

It's a great way to confirm balance and honestly, it's seriously missing in street fighter and mk (or do you like fighting the same 3-4 character's over and over again online?)
