Until someone grabs it cleaner:

Thanks, I was really worried about how she would look but she looks solid. Nice and healthy.

Need to see what Kim looks like, he always had the best sprites/animation.

True. Still comes out to more than 50 when you exclude the recycled characters, but not by a significant amount.

Not really a fair comparison either way since UM is mostly just recycled sprites in general, XIV is all new models.

 

[BasilZero]

I'm loving what I'm seeing - cant wait

 

[PSqueak]

True. Still comes out to more than 50 when you exclude the recycled characters, but not by a significant amount.

I know it's actually not a big deal but i always get a kick out of the fact that there are 4 kyos.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Here's some 1080p/60fps gameplay.

Wait... they said both "Team Battle" and "Party Battle" ... does that mean they are bringing back tag mode from XI?!? MEGATON if true.

Maybe it's an online mode with 3vs3 people, where everyone just uses one character.
Thats something i had in mind for a while now lol

 

[SparksterMeta0]

kula! game is looking much better. hopefully it will keep on getting polished. i'm definitely interested.

Kula is bae

...Great, Kula's announced for it, so now I feel obligated to care even though the game still looks like it's running on PS2. Wasn't expecting Angel.

Yup.

Sorry, this was the best my computer could screen.

 

[Innolis]

It looks cleaner, but still lacks detail. I don't expect much improvement if they are really going for 50 characters though.

Particles look MUCH better though (which is to say, the previous trailer had Project Justice quality particles).

Oh well, it's clearly this or nothing so I'll take it.

 

[RyudBoy]

Looks unimpressive...

however, boobs.

KOF 14 stream from booth

[Hadoukie]

Fuck yeah, the sexy has returned! Just give me Vanessa, and this is a confirmed buy

Anything interesting going on in the stream?
First impressions just from watching?

 

[Yazzees]

I still can't wrap my head around the graphics they're showing for 14, though they seem to be getting better. How did KoF13 do in terms of sales? The art in that was great but strikes me as underappreciated by the usual consumer.

The stream is working like garbage but the gameplay feels like a legit 2D KOF.

Kyo flicks his wrist during his neutral stance now.

Kula's design has definitely been refreshed.

 

[Akibared]

I'm sold.

 

[pizzacat]

Angel Ralf and Billy Kane oh man


Geese when pls snk

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

They have the announcer(s) call out counter hits, whyyyyyy....

Apparently EX moves can only be done in MAX Mode.

 

[Doosi]

Gameplay looks like classic KOF.

KOF has never been known for its cutting edge graphics. I thought fans of the series were in for the gameplay?

 

[pizzacat]

MAX mode is like 02? So it plays like 02?

 

[BadWolf]

Huh, some people did feel like EX moves were a little too good in XIII.

MAX mode is like 02? So it plays like 02?

No idea how max mode works yet.

 

[convo]

They can take an extra year or two and no one would be mad about it. Japanese audience really liking the return of Angel though.

 

[Amedo310]

Looks like I'm wrong. Max mode allows characters to use ex moves, according to Hellpockets: https://twitter.com/HellPockets/status/673236633483739136

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Where is the stream?

Until someone grabs it cleaner:

Is this any better? My display is a bit messed up.

 

[BadWolf]

Looks like Kyo has his punch super back from 99/2000.

[JeremyEtcetera]

Every time I look at this game it feels like it's missing lighting/shaders or something. Like it just looks off and the characters have a last gen plastic look. Gameplay wise it looks on point though.

This menu is as SNK as it can get.

Yep, that's way better. Thanks!

 

[E_Darkness]

Certainly cleaner <3

 

[danmaku]

"console exclusive" means PC version incoming, right...?

 

[Vinland]

Turning off the internet today. My heart can't take it.

Spoiler

but my te2 stick can! f'k yeah

 

[Gren]

Angel model looks surprisingly accurate & decent. Guess it's the new faces for Kyo & Andy that are most jarring to me about the graphics.

That Esaka '96 opening riff always gets me.

 

[BadWolf]

The win screen, character select etc. all look nice and clean.

There was a close up of the Kula model on the win screen, looked good.

 

[delSai]

"console exclusive" means PC version incoming, right...?

SNK said in a PR statement it's Ps4 exclusive. It's all a bit confusing right now lol

 

[SpiceMelange]

There's no shadows at all and the lighting is flat as hell. Everyone is evenly lit everywhere on their body. It's really bizarre looking.

 

[Producer]

Character select

Looks clean. Hope we get some local footage soon.

 

[Soulstar]

It's looking better and King is in so I'm definitely getting this. I'm actually pretty excited for this game and I am very interested to see how this turns out in the end.

 

[convo]

Iori looks nice in that character select-screen. They can make the models work if they really try. It's now not impossible for this to be part of EVO.

 

[leatherhat]

Game looks better each time I see it, hopefully by release it will look good.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Maybe it looks shitty but dem juicy combos look legit. I hope no HD combos sneak into this.

Hyped for 14!

Few gifs from trailer.

kof 14 twitch stream

[SAB CA]

They're announcing modes and roster number now! Very helpful to keep in mind exactly what we're seeing.

The particles are look a lot better. And the characters... are actually starting to look like themselves. Angel instantly looked like "her", rather than some odd cosplay version of herself.

They're actually starting to show some flair, too. Are we finally getting proper pre-fight intros back? The Camera angles are changing during supers. Kula's hair and Iori's jacket tails are actually moving respectably well, too.

Welcome back Ralf, Billy, King! Oooh, just saw on stream, the victory screen is nicely animated, with 2 characters taking a general victoly pose, the main winner doing something more elaborate. I like.

There seems to be multiple announcers. The female sounds pretty genki, ha. Interesting detail anyway.

I mean... it moves like KoF. It's nice seeing people already starting to play like they did in XIII with weak to strong pressuring normal and such. I like this gameplay transition more than I did the one to SFIV personally, because it looks properly 2d in a lot of ways. Watching Kula do her double-hit close C feels like that rhythm I've known for years, y'know?

 

[SDBurton]

Fuck yeah, the sexy has returned! Just give me Vanessa, and this is a confirmed buy

She's all I want... she's all I neeeeeeeeeeeed.

 

[Remapped88]

Looks better but it still doesn't look great at all. Very plain, flat and looks like it lacks shaders. Still they have plenty of time left to improve everything and with 50 characters, I'm guessing the leaks were right then with 48 characters plus 2 bosses? That's great to know but really hope they don't try to rush this and take their time. While I like seeing a lot of old favorites, I wanna see some of the new characters soon!

 

[Ragnorok64]

They need to majorly update the textures or add some sort of artistic filter or something. Everything still looks so plasticy.

 

[digita1alchemy]

This is starting to look pretty alright.

 

[BadWolf]

Liking Kula's look, seems well animated too.

 

[fates]

This is definitely looking better every update.
