Support NeoGAF

[AREYOUOKAY?]

....Where's my beautiful Pixel art.

As much as that would be nice I’d rather not lose SNK yet again.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I don't care about this. I always prefered Real Bout to Mark of the Wolves. But they revealed this at the end of a KoF XV tournament, so where the hell is the fix for the advance strike bullshit haphazardly thrown into KoF XV's final updates? At least let me rollback the shitty updates and play offline.

They're two different beasts, maybe later they'll release Real Bout. You should be grateful they still exist and support SNK.

I am not throwing 70$ into the wishing well so that Playmore might take a crack at a sequel to Real Bout and screw it up like they did with the final updates to KoF XV.

After that KoF XV debacle I will only support a Capcom Arcade Stadium quality treatment for NeoGeo library at a reasonable price point (individual game cost <= 4 USD).

I dunno why they would unless there’s some story to be told that takes place between Real Bout and MoTW. Unless you’re after another “It was just a dream” game.

Geese died in Real Bout but that’s OKAY. Better to have something end and that’s it instead of dragging it out 10, 20, or 30 years or more with an unsolved cliffhanger.

Completely agree, what next, KoF and Metal Slug in 3D? (yes, I know, and look how they turned out)

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Jesus the music and voices are awful, but the game itself looks decent enough.

It looks amazing

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I love the way this looks. Only thing I don't like are the sound effects which have this extremely high pitched timber. That could become bothersome to my ears.

This is my fav artstyle though out of the recent SBK games. The gameplay looks very similar to Kof 15 though. Woulda liked it to separate itself a bit more.

Early 2025 seems like the right time for release.

I don't remember how this game plays but I'm in on day one!

 

[CamHostage]

Cool to see SNK fighters coming through so strong. The switch from sprites to polygons will always leave memories of what once was, but they've come a long way from their first goes with 3D.

The cel-shading isn't very accurate here, but it's a fast-moving fighting game and it looks stylish even if you are in up close, plus also the characters separate from the backgrounds well. (That said, I don't really love the background rendering style... not a lot of specification to it, plus it looks a lot like SF5's Bustling Side Street.) I'm not sure where the concept of painterly styles comes into both FF and SF (Capcom with its graffiti and sumi-e graphic effects, this adding comic book stipple and also sort of shrinkydink/sticker effects in special triggers,) but it's fun in both cases.

Looking forward to it.

I wish SNK would use Shinkiro's art style for the character models instead.

Did his art style ever evolve beyond it's 'Clooney face' phase?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

They nailed the feeling of impact perfectly thanks to emphasis on those keyframes. Like, the hits LOOK like they hurt, which is something I kinda feel SF6 doesn't quite land the same way (though that game is going for a somewhat more natural/realistic approach).

SF6 probably has the better character models though at least technically speaking. But that's hard to say for sure without more COTW footage. Really though, I'm just so glad the franchise is getting a new installment after 2+ decades. MOTW is one of the most slept-on 2D fighters ever and I hope COTW gets the Fatal Fury series the respect it's always deserved.

 

[F31 Leopard]

I was thinking more of this style.

 

[March Climber]

I was thinking more of this style.

The larger eyes and slightly less realistic style helps, but he needs to stop using George Clooney’s facial structure as a base because I can still see it lol.

 

[fersnake]

I'm going to be that guy, it's no Mark of the Wolves which was beautiful and amazing. But it's an interesting artistic take. I'm curious what the Microtransactions will look like, if they have them.

man you are right love that game, the art style was fire. but well better get this type of 3d toon like than anything.

 

[demigod]

All I ask is that they don’t fuck with Mai’s titties.

 

[The Pleasure]

Is Ryo checking out a chick while King is looking away?

 

[kunonabi]

I'm pretty sure we'll be fine. SNK has gotten the message loud and clear about Mai several times. Although with Preecha who knows since it looks like dipping they're into the gender stuff like everyone else.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I mean have you seen or played her latest games?

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Nice, 2025 is looking epic.

 

[Mister Wolf]

 

[kunonabi]

Watched Wong's video and I'm really liking the sound of it. It's shares a lot with SF6 but the implementation sounds much better. Much like the first Garou compared to 3S. Damage still seems a little high but that can always be tweaked.

 

[saintjules]

Looks really smooth. Not sure the word for it. Has a gel/slithery feel to the animation. Motion blur I guess?

 

[kunonabi]

Hotaru's super lost its flare which is unfortunate.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like IGN also dropped their preview.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Hopefully smaller roster and more good designed stages compared to KOF.

 

[RAIDEN1]

They had to adopt this art-style to keep it in sync with its biggest competitor Streetfighter 6, it would have been surprising if they went for the King of Fighters 13 look...but how well this competes against the other kings of fighters, ie Tekken 8 and Streetfighter 6 remains to be seen..

 

[Business]

This looks absolutely glorious. I think I’m gonna cry guys…

Damn, where these from?

Damn, where these from?

King of Fighters XV

[Puscifer]

They were really using Hotaru like a punching bag in those trailers, eh?

 

[Jigsaah]

Damn this game looks kinda nice. I never really got into the older Fatal Furys, I guess I really didn't get the background/foreground mechanic...and was probably too young and impatient to learn.

Might just pick this one up.

 

[stn]

Super hyped, have been waiting for Fatal Fury to return. Hoping for a big roster, lots of unique characters, some good alternate attire options, and a good OST.

Hopefully there will be more stages than in KOF and please don't render the background characters in 30fps. Shit is awful in KOF.

 

[MasterDerico]

Waiting more news in the finals today

Mark of the Wolved doesn't have that mechanic. If you've never played it buy it as fast as you can! Still looks and plays great. Best FF game imo

I'M SO WITH YOU ON THAT 30 FPS BACKGROUND SHIT!

i still am pissed that on next gen consoles they did that with Kof15 ...looks horrible! Is it that way on PC too?

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

My only thing with this is it looks so much like KOF 15. They're clearly using the KOF engine and adding some flourishes to give this it's own identity, which it does have, buy you still see the same basic characters models and it looks to have the same gameplay feel as kof 15.

 

[JunkerWoland]

Hopefully they'll eventually release a demo, because--for the lack of a better way of putting it--I want to feel the characters (their weight and movement speed). From just watching videos, the game reminds me too much of modern KoF, but with a visual treatment closer to the current Samurai Shodown. I keep wanting to be excited, but admittedly, I'm feeling very blase about the game.

I'll quote F Feel Like I'm On 42 here, because this post nails it:

I played Garou: Mark of the Wolves for the first time just a few years ago. It's an amazing game that holds up remarkably well even to this day. It plays a lot like the Street Fighter games (albeit with 4 buttons rather than 6), with fast and fluid gameplay. It's available on virtually every major platform these days. Give it a try!

[Renoir]

Man.. Im glad they bringing this franchise back. I wish they mimic the fluid animation of the 2d one. The SNK 3d look so stiff.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

There's also a japanese version of this video.
