King of Fighters XII AOU`08 Trailer

[2eyez]

I wasn't that impressed

[Diso]

Wow looks pretty great. Love the look of the new 2d sprites.

[BlackKnight]

Is there any official release of the trailer yet? Say in really good quality?

[Wizard]

First post.

[Devia Eleven]

The link to the Higher Quality video does not load.

[L.S.D]

After watching the higher quality video, I am more impressed! Really hope it will come to X360

To be honest, they should've gone for broke and made it HD. But it's great as it is. Let's hope they revert the damn system to something prior to XI and 2k3, make it 2k2-speed level, get us HSDMs back, and I want everyone that isn't canon-dead back in this one. And unlockables, including the dead guys and all previous costumes. Then it's going to be quite simply, THE best fighting game out there.

another excellent looking fighter and thats just from a short vid,kof always played second fiddle to streetfighter,it should be good to see how this game comes along in the months to come.

KoF was never second fiddle, people are just too limited to see that. Street Fighter is for those who like repetitive, patterned gameplay with satisfaction coming mainly from that extra half a second you managed to shave off your sonic boom spam rotation. KoF has always been better and now it's going to be the best. Street Fighter 4 is trying to be an updated SF2, with characters looking like steroid freaks, and ugly 3Dness. And you know what's funny? SF2 HD will most likely be better then SF4...

[BlackKnight]

What resolution is it actually?

[L.S.D]

Master Wizard said 720p

You know what's also funny, the only reason KOF12 is being made is because they actually made money off the sloppy 3D games they made. And who says KOF doesn't have repetitve, patterned gameplay. You play for fun but when the pros (a.k.a. the chinese) play it's a completely different game. And yes, the game also has tiers. 98 had Kyo, Goro, Chizuru, Iori as top AND on top of that, everyone plays Advance mode. 2k2 had Choi, Athena and Billy as SS tier. With first or second slot with a character who can do well without using any sort or building meter. Then you have 2k3, which had Duo-Lon as god tier with his infinity, K`, Daimon and surprisingly Ash. Oh oh, and then came KOF11! Gato, Oswald, Kula, with anyone of them as Leader, happens to be the best team in the game. Also, SNK hasn't taken the time until KOF98UM to fully test a game. How many bugs were there in 97, 98, 99, 2k, 2k1, 2k2, 2k3 and 11? Tons, with 99, 2k, 2k1, 2k3 and 11 fixing them for their console ports. Which I might add, wasn't well recieved by the hardcore KOF community.

 

Anyone could tell you SF4 is trying to be an SF2 just by looking at it, but until you take some time to notice all the changes they made from watching the vids, it's not. I wrote it off until I saw vids, while I still hold my cautious mind with it. Gameplay looks solid for something thats about 50-60% done. And how would you play SFIISTHDRemix? It's going to be the same game as Super Turbo but with more balance changes. Same game, different numerical values.

 

What resolution is it actually?

Master Wizard said 720p

The last I heard was, while it is high res, it isn't HD. It's in 16:9 and I'm assuming it's in 720p because of the arcade hardware it runs on.

[Lucandrake]

I've always liked the KOF series, but never played beyond the reason of button mashing.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

What wasn't exactly well received? The console ports? Because of the bug fixes? That would be laaaaaame... Or just because of crap ports?

[BlackKnight]

I think he means the hardcore crowd would have preferred arcade perfect ports rather than ports with things fixed... which makes them not quite the same. Stupid difference to draw attention over.
