Yup. The character models look like they belong to an early PS3 JRPG...

It does look awful... And sound awful... I guess all there is left now is to see how it plays; and wager what little enthusiasm you have left.
Let's see, eh. I'm of the opinion that KOF13 was mediocre at best; not to mention dead in the water due to its **** netcode.
Design-wise, anyone intimately familiar with the SNK of old will know that if you remove the Osaka / Japanese connection, there really isn't much left.
The hack-job Korean era of KOF2001 / 2002 / SamSho 5 was bad enough; now the Chinese are going to commercialise it beyond gaming altogether.
They've been relentlessly bootlegging SNK for decades, they might as well do it legally.

Please, 2k2 was far from a "Korean hack-job". Now SamSho5 is another story.

On a side note, people are always going to bitch and moan, but the fact is 2D fighting games are a niche market. Westerners want "pretty" and "flashy". Even with KOFXIV looking dated for a PS4 exclusive, it still looks 100x better than SFIV and SFV. Hell, atleast their body parts are proportional.

kof 13 was a great competitive game. I've no doubt the production was hobbled by the poor choices started in 12, but the core versus game and style seemed perfectly pitched to the series' lineage? ...Now the 'story mode' or whatever that guff was was indeed awful beyond all belief, and the netcode was a indeed a mess, but as a kof vs game it was a step in the right direction.

I've no idea what you think snkp were doing with kof if they weren't already whoring out kof characters to pachislots+skystage+mobiles+that moba+anything that'd take them?... At least, from all appearances, the new owners want to develop mainline games - I might not be seeing the immediate appeal of what they're trying but I'm holding out hope. It strikes me that it's a shame that they seem to departing from some of the series core cues, but tbh all we've seen so far across 2 trailers is a couple of clips... even some repeated I think?... And I'm not sure who else wanted to do anything with kof... though activision seems to have plenty of cash to invest in something different - if i was them I'd have bought 82% of snk as a lark...

Up to the SNES for consoles, and GBA for handhelds.

Anybody watch Japanese Commercials on YouTube? Well this game looks exactly like 101% of the mobile games advertised every week. It's where it's going, unfortunately... Can't wait for 10-20 years from now where the foochurr kids learn that games of the past required something called "skill".

This isn't even exclusive to the East... I see a lot of my friends and people play other idiot games all around.

This **** thread should probably be moved to the home games section? Watch this if you disagree:

I try to ignore the game, but then I saw news that they renewed the Last Blade patent. There is still a small piece of hope inside of me although I know its in vain...

Although I really dont like SF4 and its style, as well as I am not too fond of SFV's as well there is no way that this looks better then SFV. And I am a Neo Geo lover.
