Flocker: What Marvel pool are you in?
645: Pool 1.
Flocker: *laughs*
Tong: Shoot for top 8... in your pool.
Also, Yams and I are entering teams tomorrow. Probably as "Frauds Among Us."

same way old-school 3S/GG players used to act (a big reason I ended up hating both those games was due to the people playing them)

I love the Wild Iori-esque Evil Ryu. It's a really nice tell that the guy's snapped and you should probably run.
>___<
You like Show and Tell and Dredge too?
Agreed.
This so much. I want the characters to remain recognizable and good looking rather than some atrocious abominations a monkey with no taste vomited up, which is what full customs will inevitably devolve into.

I have to extract two wisdom teeth today so I'm not thaaaat happy but yeah, tgif...I guess
I'm not even sure how much the new version of UNI is going to help the game. It'll probably bring some relapsed players back, but it's not like the game has ever had a huge player base at any point. That and games rarely start seeing positive growth in their playerbase once it has significantly declined, although it's possible with enough long-term support.
From a business standpoint, it doesn't seem like continued production of the series makes any sense.

I think the implications of someone that's only ever played one fighting game seriously calling other fighting games bad should be pretty obvious.

I'd love to see Arika just make thir own fighting game with EX chars like they did with Fighting Layer, but I guess they can't get the funding to do it again.

I think I'm gonna get a PS4 for SF5 :x
Maybe this batman shyt is prolly just spooking me on PC ports.

I mean, it's not like you could reliably bank on PC ports last generation either, especially during the latter half. It's always been a fine balance between being able to customize your experience vs. having to deal with several different degrees and variants of bullshit to get a maybe superior experience.

Yeah but usually it's poor optimization not outright lack of features/assets/graphical effects.
Well except for some games getting ported from the xbox in the early xbox 360 generation.

after how many updates?

Ugh, name abbreviations are my weakness.
Nowadays I never expect a game to be released on PC without any problems. If it becomes a good port in less than 2 months it's "ok"

This is probably closer to reality.
Which is why it astounds me anyome bothers with preorders. In a digital age shortage just simply doesn't exist and the games you're getting will most likely be broken on launch anyway.
I think pre-ordering makes some sense when there's a significant discount. I can understand why people would be tempted to pre-order the new Batman game from somewhere like GMG when they're offering a steep discount. It's still a gamble (especially with WB's history of PC ports being pretty bad, to the point where it's actually biting them in the ass now with Valve's new refund policy), but it's a justifiable one as there is some upside.
But pre-ordering games? At full price? Digitally, when stock and delivery are never a concern (excepting PSNs randomly slow download speeds)? That makes less than zero sense.
I thought the case with Batman being pulled from sale was down to Steam refunds existing? I very much doubt they would have been so quick to do so were they not spending a lot of money processing all these refunds. Hopefully this sends a message to the industry that the previous state of affairs of releasing faulty games is over.
That said USIV on PS4 had its problems, so it is not a PC exclusive thing
As for Pre-ordering, I will probably do it with SFV on PC just for the Beta (If the UK isn't excluded from that incentive like on PS4)
I think some territories get the beta w/o pre-ordering. Besides, in the US you just pre-order from amazon, get the code, and cancel. Did that with Destiny Alpha/Beta.
Considering SFV will have cross-play between the two versions, can they fuck up one without fucking up the other?
Probably just a rumor but came across this on MMcafe:

They can probably isolate the two version if necessary.
KOFXIII was:
Announced in February 2010
First previewed in March 2010
Released in arcades in July 2010
YES!

Wasn't XIII supposed to be like a fixed XII? XVI would be a brand new game on a new system and engine as well. So not quite the same comparison although it'd be great if they could release it by next year as well.
as long as he doesn't give out a name I'm sure he will be fine. Plenty of people leaked info and kept their job.
Not really, XIII was pretty much a new installment.
Way more characters (and moves for existing characters), all new backgrounds and music etc. The gameplay systems are also way different (XII had no drive cancels, hyper drive, EX moves, Neomaxes etc.). All the stuff you would expect from a new entry basically.
They also aren't doing hand drawn anymore from the sound of things, that alone should speed things up substantially.

that dude is just some random KOF player lol
Most of them were very much new, the only portion I can remember them reusing is the fat ladies from the Italy stage (which appear on a new background in XIII).
And of course they will reuse sprites, it's a 2D fighter and they were brand new in XII.
Well yeah, but his friend works at SNK!
Yeah I'm very curious about this as well.
Also wonder whose art style they will base them on, XII/XIII's sprites were based on Nona's but he no longer works at SNK iirc.
