oh well, i should of knowing the characters wouldn't be updated, it IS snk after all, even with new hardware they still recycle the same old characters , i mean, i don't mean to sound bad or anything, but im sick of them using the same old character spirites, have they lost all the real artist or something somewhere back in 94?, they have no excuse about hardware, so no excuse for why they couldn't update the character spirites and give them a much higher res like guilty gears.

You haven't been following it for as long as I have.

 

The gameplay is slower then 2k2.

They removed May Lee, K9999, Angel.

The boss is cheaper then frking Igniz.

Kim, Seth, Venessa & Ramon are hidden characters, for what reason? SNK is smoking it again.

The new levels are medicore or crappy.

The sprites look like 2k1 PS2 version, which is sheit.

They removed May Lee.

Music sucks.

They removed May Lee.

No new Athena costume. WHY!?

Stupid rehash!

Only like, 1 new anim, and it's for Benimaru. Everyone else has modified ones or new moves made up of completely old sprites.

Edit: I quit posting news about it because the news isn't coming in anymore. The vids are out. It's been friking too long in testing. Come on, it's been 3 months already. And only a limited amount of arcade operators actally own it. Oh, and a majority of KOF players don't want GG like spirtes. Because frankly, their more cartoony.

 

I've said my anger.

I must have missed the train here. It doesn't look like there's going to be a whole lot of new content to enjoy, but I haven't read anything that makes it sound any worse than any of the older KOFs, which I still enjoy a great deal. It's a shame that they didn't make a stonger first attempt on the new hardware, but it's probably more of a tech-demo for them.

 

What did I miss that makes everyone, or at least K', so hard on this game?

Yes i now see what you where talking about, i thought they would of had updated character spirites in a higher res for everyone like guilty gear x,and that was why they removed some stuff to save time, but no, they just used the same old stuff , the is no excuse for them removing all the stuff they did, and not adding any new content

When the news was coming around the beta. Their was tons of high hopes for this game. But as time moved one, we saw the changes we were speculating become slimmer and slimmer.

 

First reason.

1) It's new Hardware.

 

Why exactly would make it have PS2~ish sprite quality. Seriously, The PS2 version of 2k2 looks better then this,

 

2) They actually put time anf effort into this.

 

Into something that is a total joke. Capcom could do better then this.

 

3) System

 

The gameplay is simply just crap. I mean slower then 2k2? Come on. Removing MaxMode 2 is possibly the stupidest thing ever. Replacing it with Heat Mode, Max Mode and Just Defend? Useless. This could be SNK's poor attemp at trying SFZ3's 3 modes.

 

Theirs more thigns I can go on about, but you pretty much understand why I have nothing but utter hate of this game.

[Gryph]

I like the new DM and SDM special effect...that's about it though.

[L.S.D]

I still haven't seen this in my local arcades

[KyokugenKiss]

who cares about this crap im waiting for NEOGEO BATTLE COLISEUM!!!

[owangutang]

While some aspects might be a little disappointing, it doesn't really matter to me. This isn't the "next" KOF, it's just a chance for SNK to test out the hardware before they put a large effort into updating the series for 2004.

They did a better job with Maximum Impact on fairly old hardware then this.
