Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Andy Bogard Confirmed for KoF XIV
- Thread starter Marz
- Start date
I get the impression they're blending together his claw and flame selves from the latest iteration, and both he and Leona have a history of briefly going into Riot of Blood mode during supers.

Oh hey Andy's back...sadly I was never fond of his playstyle, it was kinda boring compared to Terry who had some pizzazz. Anyway, hope the graphics improve.
While they keep making shading improvements i dont think KOFXIV is gonna be a looker... hopefully the gameplay is top notch.
And even if the gameplay is bad.. WILL BUY FOR THE STORY MODE

Dunno if their engine supports THAT many polygons!
Was wondering if maybe they were bringing the in round activation back (like Leona could sacrifice half her life gauge to turn into Orochi Leona in 2002).
Losing Claw Iori is a bummer, really liked that version of him.

Cool.
I'm sorry to say this but whoever is doing the trailers should be fired.
First of all they need to focus on the new character and second i would specify that the game is early in development and that there will be improvements exactly like it's happening.
Just let's give them more time, it won't be the best looking game but imo in the end it will be decent, let's not forget that it will have 40+ characters!
I would like to see how the game looks with same assets and a cel shading effect, i bet it would look way better.
Too bad for the awesome 2d though

He looks so bad... like 90s cg bad.
Andy is one of my favorite KoF characters. This looks like shit.
Yep. sigh.
It looks like they were concerned with the animation/gameplay first and are just now getting to the character models.
Considering the reactions to her absence in XII and how that affected her presentation in XIII, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the effort was being put on her and she's getting revealed last.
Kind of paused through the vid during the fighting and Kyo definitely looks quite a bit better.
Yeah they are probably saving the more anticipated reveals like her, Terry etc. for later. They will most likely be stretching the reveals till release.

Well, you are the guy with the Kim K. avatar, but I have to stop you there...
Most of the earlier KoF games had mini biographies for the characters with stuff like age, blood types, hobbies etc. If I remember correctly, the age range of many of the male fighters (especially the "archetypical" fighting game main characters like Terry, Andy, Joe, Ryo, Robert etc) ranges only between ~ 20 and 25. Everything over 25 is usually reserved for battle hardened war veterans (Ralf and Clark), or "older" (in anime terms) women like Mature, Vice and Chizuru (all in their late 20s I believe). Characters also did not age between games if I'm not completely mistaken. That excludes games that obviously take place in the "future" like Garou MotW. So technically it's not wrong for Andy to look pretty young, when he's only 23 or so. =P

Wow that looks like crap. Terrible art.

In Andy's defence, after he peaked when they made his full screen dash move input downback-forward on KoF XIII, the only way for him to go was down.

damnit...it really does look that bad. Just keep telling yourself you don't care as long as the gameplay is good.
*Looks at XIII sprites and cries*
Yeah, and that's good!
YES!

There are too things that convince me that these upgrades wont be enough:
1) 40+ characters;
2) 2016 release date.
They really need to improve the models, they are fucking ugly... they don't need to be SFV tier but c'mon, Andy almost looks like it's from Final Fantasy 8. Too flat...

Oh god it just occurred to me: Yamazaki, Chang and Choi and they're all in prisoner garb, with a shirtless yamazaki and Choi keeping his hat and glasses.

This looks like a legit PS3 launch game if that. I'm going to pass.. :\
That was the move's motion in most if not all of the games he's in.
It had the reputation for being particularly strong in Fatal Fury 2 though, which was apparently the strongest Andy ever was.

when is the day when we all wake up from this nightmare and turns out KoF 14 looks just like 13 and turns out to be better? I want this to turnaround and end up being at least a good game that fails to be as good as an amazing game that is 13.

Ah yes, the Tony Hawk 5 strategy...

Tony hawk just added like, an outline shader... not real cell shading.
All they've said is 2016 I think, so it's probably later actually.
IIRC the director of KOF13 is on the project so the gameplay will probably be good.

well, at least they're trying to improve step by step. we rarely get to see improvements made like this. it's usually the other way around with bullshots and downgrades
