Kula! My favorite character from XI. <3

 

[Frankfurt]

There are two others, and they're admittedly fake. I assume the one above should be fake, too. They've been out for a few days already.

HEEEEE!!!!! YES!!!!

KULA AND K!!!!

I just need Momoko and Oswald to be Super happy!

EDIT: Frankfurt just destroyed my Hype! =(

 

[hipgnosis]

Fake as hell

 

[Lyte Edge]

Oh yeah sorry forgot about those, they were good indeed, although the net code for 98' sucked. Truth is, they have been putting out a lot of crap and made me lose interest.

There's also Maximum Impact Regulation A. It rocks. SNK just hit rock bottom with the combination of XII being what equates to a full-priced beta test, Samurai Shodown Sen sucking shit, and crappy netcode in all of their releases. The latter needs to be addressed BADLY.

I am sure XIII will be a good game this time around, but if the netcode sucks, who cares?

SNK owes Ignition. Big.

 

[TreIII]

SNK owes all of us. Big.

Fix'd.

But seriously, I can't think of too many other companies who would get this kind of "second chance" opportunity. Fans supported and rooted them on, as SNK rose from the ashes of bankruptcy and the outright money-sink that was the HN64. They accepted when SNK finally had the reason to let the Neo Geo MVS platform go.

It's really only now, after KOFXII, have previous ride-or-die fans like myself really started to call SNK's overall relevance into question. This game really needs to be something else, or it could undermine that which is SNK's life line...their fans.

I take it you haven't played Sen. :lol

 

[TreIII]

I take it you haven't played Sen. :lol

Only once. That was enough. :lol

But any way, I'm willing to do more to give SNK a" pass" in this area because:

a) It wasn't hyped up at all. The game basically did more to come in and go right the hell back out, with most people being nonplussed. 2D SS faithfuls hated it and disavowed the game's existence, and everybody else just passed over it.

b) It wasn't even made by SNK themselves. It was farmed out to K2, and in the end, was a product that isn't even worthy of mentioning in the same breath as the likes of SS64 and ESPECIALLY SS64-2: Ashura Zanmaden.


So, in other words, I don't think Sen hurts SNK NEARLY as much as KOFXII's failure did, because KOF is on a whole other "tier" of how it is regarded. XII was hyped. XII had the "promise". XII was supposed to "be dat new shit". It didn't, and it hurt us, the fans, which in turn hurt SNK.

 

[Frankfurt]

I kinda hope Atlus picks KOF XIII up, but it seems that Ignition has first dibs, and they're only passing on it if netcode sucks.

 

[arstal]

I don't care who puts it out, as long as the netcode is good.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Not realistically expecting good netcode from any developer not named Arc System Works. :lol

 

[Fersis]

I don't care who puts it out, as long as the netcode is good.

mhmhm Didnt you say that SNKP was dead to you? Welcome back, hop on the hype train!!!

CHOOO CHOOO !!! ^__^

 

[h3ro]

I came in here thinking it was the Final Fantasy XIII thread.

I'll stay for the Fersis hype.

 

[Swittcher]

I shudder to think there are actually people out there who would FAKE pics of XIII, after XII was released to stores.

That's like selling scalper tickets to a sequel of Battlefield Earth.

It definitely didn't hurt them as much, but it's a far, far shittier game than XII is in terms of game play. It being made by K2 should have been a good thing, BTW-- they are made up of staff that formerly worked on the first few SS games.

KOF12 might had been a failure, but KOF franchise has a lot of great successes and a huge fanbase too. So yeah, there will be always people who will do this.

I remember seen this like a week ago, i just laugh. :lol

Although is catchy, and is nice to see how well they did in keeping the screen of Metal Slug constant even with the background and location changing. Really good effect/edition there.

 

[Akainu]

I'd love me so K Dash. <3

 

[TreIII]

Oh, I'm not disputing that. But again, relatively speaking, it couldn't hurt SNK that much when most people just ignored it any way. You can't get let down when there was nothing to get "up" about in the first place. :lol

It being made by K2 should have been a good thing, BTW-- they are made up of staff that formerly worked on the first few SS games.

Oh...yeah....

That was the talking point that I was so going with back in those days. "It's made by the games behind 1-2! It should be excellent!"

...Boy, was I proven so horridly, horridly WRONG! :lol

What the?!

Anyhow, are any of J-GAF going to check the event out?

 

[the_log_ride]

alright that screwattack vid got me :lol :lol

 

[Ceallach]

I'm excited. I kinda enjoyed XII for all the hate it gets.

XIII just better lose the 94 style Kyo. That was my biggest annoyance since he is one of my mains=\

YES! MOTHERFUCKING HELL YES!

Ogura is still in. KOF XIII blog:

I assume K' would've been there if he were in the game?

 

[Swittcher]

Ah, yeah, for some reason, I completely forgot about that. In fact, it makes even more sense, because there's a large contingency that wants a new game to be a complete success. I was not thinking.

So what's the deal with this preview event? Should it be coming along later tonight?

Keep an eye on the blog in the coming weeks as more and more information will be going up (leaking out?!).


No real info, just lots of Japanese double speak

 

[sixteen-bit]

looking forward to loketest impressions

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Don't think! Feeeel!

Spoiler

LOVE IT!

 

[LowParry]

Alright Fersis, I'm joining this crazy party. My bar will be set to standard. This could heavily change over the weekend when they reveal it. I want to see heads explode! Bouncing tits! MILF's in action! Bring it! Cause I want to feeeeeel it!

 

[GuardianE]

Before long "that" character will take part in the contest. "Those" other characters are also going to make their grand appearance one after another.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Are they going to do a slow reveal of characters? As much as I liked that for SSFIV, I just don't think KoFXIII will have enough of an extended roster to actually make it work. One character a month won't cut it.

When can we actually expect some impressions/news in the states?

 

[gundamkyoukai]

God KOF better be good this year, if they fuck up again i am done with SNK. There's only so much a fan can take before they give up.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Ugh, all this "fan" whining.

Did everybody forget some of the stupid decisions those other companies made?

Anyhow, I'm sure someone will post impressions. If not here, then at iplaywinner.com, versuscity.net, andriasang.com, or SRK forums.

Let's keep an ear to the ground for news folks. You've all been deputized in the Newshound Legion!

SNK has done that for every fighter since... God knows... At least SVC (i followed the news from magazines before then). They reveal a handful of obvious characters plus one or two unexpected ones. This goes for 3, 4, 5 months, on Famitsu and Arcadia.

One would assume they wouldn't do that this time, with how XII had been received, but they've had lokes with partial rosters many times before.

It wouldn't surprise me if we only see Ash, Kyo, Iori, Athena and Mai or something like that. A bunch of obvious people and one "OMG" character.

 

[CadetMahoney]

SNK has been garbage lately so my expectations for this one are very low. KoF XI was a great game, but after that they haven't done anything decent.

2k2um is sopposed to be coming out this year to 360 along with that shmup.

My hopes of this actually happening this year has reached -2 since no further announcements on this front have been made by snk.

 

[arstal]

My kingdom for Garou characters in a KoF game SNK! MY KINGDOM!

XI had 3 of them in.

That said, Kim should so replaced by his more interesting kids.

Honestly, KOFXIII is not an instabuy for me like KOFXII was.

The only series I'd instabuy right now are Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter and Blazblue.

Yeah, I guess my concern is that there won't be enough new characters to continue filling the hype for the release. Even if they'd been working non-stop, and they had work done on these new characters prior to KoFXII's release, I can't imagine the roster size will increase that much in such a short timeframe. I hope they prove me wrong.

Noooooooo!

Well... maybe.

I did like Kim's kids. Though since they've already drawn up a sprite for Kim, they wouldn't replace him... and there's pretty much zero chance they'd include all three.

 

[Fersis]

That blog is hype.
Looks like they acknowledged KOF XII disappointmenton.
So hyped ....
