I do think that it's great achievement within gaming (not anime movies!), but nothing can beat/replace hand drawn sprites in my opinion. Streets of Rage 4 proves it for me.

Word. SOR4 is a thing of beauty. Can't wait to see what Lizardcube will work on next.

People love to talk about how good kof 13 looks. Did people buy it?
Futaleufu

Nope. Just like people keeps demanding rollback in games and when added they still won't play them.

Fuck no. I wasn't even a fan of how it looked. Weird ass design choices like Athena and Yuri looking like they were from a completely different game.
Terry turned into Alex from SFIII
I wasn't a fan at all and it looks nothing like the previous KOF games before it.

It looked good and those sprites stomped on blazblue. But rhe gameplay felt really unbalanced. I hated how for an entire match i could be doing great with defense and one light jab could pop off on me with max cancel bullshit.

Its too bad SNK just didn't use UE from the get go like everyone else did. They wasted alot of time with 12/13 and trying to use their own game engine for 14.

At the time the kof 14 engine had less input latency then UE. Remember SfVs eight frames of inherent lag at launch?

I forgot about that.

The KOF14 engine also never drops frames, so any stage is "tournament legal"

Butt/Marco Rodriguez is the best brazilian character to ever grace fighting games, the fact that he is "shoto" makes it even better.the characters that Oda wanted to add in KOF 14 !!
i hope we see them in KOFXV
Sean from SF could be big too, unfortunately the character will likely never be properly used... Electric Tits sells more costumes.

The engine also loaded a lot quicker then sf5. I still don't understand the hate besides the graphics.
Futaleufu
Member
Because a lot of the hate was in bad faith by people who were never going to play the game anyway. You even had pro players who only played Capcom games saying it looked like a PS2 game. Classic FUD.

What do you guys think about the zoom in/zoom out camera? Would that be something you would want to see in 15?

The game in motion is actually quite good. The animation and flow felt like a 2d fighter and didn't have jank.

It sure is, too bad many people have only experienced the game by watching an online video.

KOFXII had them, many of the early games had them so why not.

The sprite animations were glorious, but the character design was mostly... urgh.

I love everything about KOF13, down to everyone's looks; Leona and Elisabeth are by far my favourite looks for them

I bought the game FIVE times. One physical ps3 copy, one digital ps3 copy, one pc copy, and two as gifts to get people in it.

This.
I watched KoF XIV on YouTube for a long time and then bought it recently. It’s a lot more impressive to look at when you’re actually playing it, both in terms of graphics and animation. Videos watched at 480p on mobile don’t do it justice. That’s why I’m giving XV the benefit of doubt until more footage is released. Imo the trailer wasn’t that well put together. They should have shown the actual gameplay more instead of fractions of seconds.
I wonder why people don’t ask for the next Street Fighter to be 2D? Seriously, the spritework in XIII took so much work it began with Kof XII and carried onto XIII, making XII obsolete in the process.
Also, for those asking why XIV didn’t look like this to begin with, remember they had to create everything from scratch for XIV. With XV, they can keep the XIV base models and improve the looks/shading as well as change costumes and add new characters. They can’t remake everything from scratch for every new game when you have a roster of 50+ characters.
Sure Guilty Gear looks great but the roster is significantly smaller.

Man I wish SNK would do a rollback netcode update for XIII.
I'd take quality over quantity. Cut the cast down to 30 odd and do better with the graphics/animation and make the characters more unique and fully fleshed out with larger movesets. Some of the new characters in XIV seemed really half arsed. I'd also really like them to tone down the max mode combo centric side of the game. Either remove the auto run in on activation or reduce it and increase meter requirements. That spoiled both 13 and 14's gameplay for me. 2002UM is at the moment still my favourite by far.

For the KOF fans I would recommend this manga. Its a canon telling of the story in KOF 14. Has nice artwork especially the combat sequences. The first four volumes of six are already released in english. This manga helped me to understand how much stronger some of the fighters are than others. Its good for tier whoring.

Thanks finally someone with a right mind...
KOF13 is overrated af !
Feels too cold and dark for a KOF game. The game feels like cheap and mobile sometimes...
KOF is colorful and not weirdo like ArcSys, also KOF13 has a lot of ass designs.
Last thing about 3D over 2D, because it's easier and better for animations overall (Super, entrance, etc.), but also for the different camera angles, and costumes.
You better enjoy the fact that we have new KOF in 2021 and praise SNK, i loved a lot the last Samsho !

Insane, totally slept on this. Now if only SNK could produce these graphics with the wealth of franchises they have.

Snk fans don't want cel shading with choppy animation.
Sonic The Fighters

No thanks.
Art design is terribly awful, even as an anime i would run far from this.
Same for the music.
ArcSys games are so bad looking and overrated (just my tastes, please no kill). Even if BlazBlue is a little bit better, these games are too weirdo to watch. Only DBFZ recently as an ArcSys game is beautiful, but the lack of stages in this game is insane !
I don't want KOF to be a weirdo japanese anime fighter please.

Seven and a half hours? Bitches can't even hyper hop into a combo consistently with that shit.Yes.
Am I qualified to complain about KOF XIV and KOF XV graphics?

People are shitting on KOF XIII to feel better about KOF XV graphics ?
KOF XV looks okay, but it is nothing more than average 3D. At least, the game is not ugly as sin like KOF XIV was.
KOF XIII was absolutely gorgeous. Sprites were huge and the animation unbelievable. Gradients are magnificent. Backgrounds as well.

13 has the worst artstyle of any KOF and hopefully they never let Falcoon do designs for KOF again.
Edit: Nona did those trash 13 designs.

I don't expect any fighting game dev to copy Arc System art. Like some people already said in the thread, it is expensive and very time intensive to do. It is much more about artistry than technology. They pose the characters each and every frame like a 2D artist would draw it. They don't let the computer assist them in any way. Even the shadows are made in a manual way, no shortcut.
You need a top of the line art team to do like Arc System.
