NeoJoe 1,609 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I don't know how I feel about that trailer. It reminds me of 14 so much. I ended up liking 14 more than expected so not really sure what this is offering better. Unreal engine? Welcome to the 21st century! These graphics just scream first gen PS4. I really wish they would go the cell shaded route of Guilty Gear or DB Fighterz. The next GG looks absolutely stunning and it would be nuts to see KoF in that style. Even the new Samurai Showdown uses a cool Japanese art 3D style. KoF is just looking dated with these graphics and the models look plastic-y. I'll keep an open mind since I'm a huge KoF fan but from that... meh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their switch to 3D models was disappointing to say the least and they're still playing catch up. Even SFV looks better than this. Hopefully the gameplay is something special to make up for the graphical shortcomings. (Where's that saudi money?) - And yeah it would look a lot better in a Guilty Gear style, maybe they should outsource to Arc System Works (Add DNF Duel to that list) Spoiler 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_MH 1,662 Posted Sunday at 09:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:40 PM I actually like this style for King of Fighters. It reminds me of their character artwork for the 90s games and that's when the series peaked for me. That or it was from my memories of the arcade and PS1 ports in highschool. The artwork Shinkiro did for KoF 95 and 99 was superb and I'd prefer that in 3D over the stuff coming out of SNK when Nona and then Falcoon took over. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeoJoe 1,609 Posted Monday at 06:05 AM Share Posted Monday at 06:05 AM I loved KoF 13's art style. I wish they kept that style and improved on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost_MH 1,662 Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Yeah, see, I want a game that looks like the art Shinkiro did way back in the day. I love Shinkiro's art. His stuff for Capcom has also been phenomenal since he jumped over there. If we aren't getting old school Neo Geo sprites, I want their game looking like the old promo art, come to life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think a couple of guys who post here participated... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well if the fighting games get to the point where the netcode isn't complete ass then it is totally possible. Strive is the next big game coming out and it's supposedly going to be easier for beginners, maybe we could all start there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We can switch it up if people prefer, or create a leGue in a single game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SNK has released most (all?) of their recent fighting games on Switch, so I'm optimistic. But cautiously so, since they haven't announced any platforms yet (for whatever reason).

Until Nintendo improves their online, I will never buy a fighter on Nintendo (aside from Smash). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
