which 2 will be cut from the playtest?

Beats me. Is hard to tell. Probably they will leave the ones that they have polished the most so far. And polished or not, Geese will be there for sure.

KOFXIV live demo gameplay on Famitsu Channel

Can't wait! :D

Sorry, didn't explained myself properly.
As far as I know, no pros have played the game yet

I did saw those videos before, hence the "at least giving feedback in between". I would love to read some tweets or at least opinions from Xiao Hai about the game so far. Even thought, I understand where you are coming from. The game looks indeed like a properly made KOF, but my negativism comes from the fact that I'm too hyped for the game, and MGSV taught me not to get hyped based on trailers.

KOF getting cancelled.

Yeah, here's hoping it releases and becomes a success.
My answer above should clarify my motivation on those words too.

Believe me guys, I'm really hoping the best for this game, but I'm in a bad luck streak. Every time I get Hyped, something happens.
Monster hunter 3U had that underwater combat (ruined for me), MGSV... well. And don't make me start with Mighty NO.9!

I'm just a poor soul waiting for KOF to be as epic as possible, Is just that... everything is too good to be truth. D:

Safest bets would probably be Samurai Shodown and Metal Slug.

Somehow I can see MOTW2 been made in the future. Specially with Neo_G on board.

Even watching footage of the game I can tell that's not going to be the case.

Sorry, didn't explained myself properly.
As far as I know, no pros have played the game yet (at least giving feedback in between), I've read a couple of times that jumping feels slower than ever, and given that the game is still WIP we don't know if the final product will end up been clumsy or just different enough to feel "wrong" when trying to convey something kof-y enough and making it fresh enough.
I mean, we are talking about almost 7 years with no games at all, there is nothing reassuring the game will end up been a good kof or not.
Even though, I do wish the game ends up been great, I'll purchase it without a doubt. My concern is not SNK/kof per se, but the actual gaming generation. If the game gets cancelled for example, would any of you be surprised?

-Gameplay. I think the game still needs to prove how serious, well balanced and competitive is.

So much this. We don't even know if we will get a MI remixed 2.5D gameplay at the end.

Capcom vs SNK 3 DLC characters

I don't mind DLC from SNK, at all. As long as we get high quality games made with passion, soul and SNK stays in business, they can become as filthy and greedy as they wish. Capcom on the other hand...

For those of you who haven't seen this.


The name Hidetoshi Ishizawa might not readily ring a bell to old-school fighting game players, but his nickname Neo_G should bring memories back from the old staff rolls in the Darkstalker and Street Fighter Alpha franchises amongst other classic brawlers. He's been with Capcom since joining them in 1995 and even stuck with them through the darkest ages of fighting games to make Capcom Fighting Evolution, and in more recent years worked on Tatsunoko vs Capcom and also the Marvel Vs Capcom 3 series.

And now, he's a part of SNKPlaymore.

The seasoned fighting game developer announced today via Social Networks that he has shifted companies from Capcom to the developer of the King Of Fighters series.

From a quick glance on Facebook, Ishizawa left Capcom on January, and it seems that he is most likely working on KOF14 at the current time.


Long story short, the director of 3rd Strike is now with SNK. Damn. :l

I have only one nitpick about Ryo's desing. His model still has this "raging maniac" look that he had in XIII.

My only complain is hat he is still not the old black gi bearded Ryo. Kind of missing a good upgrade SNK.


And btw, don't know if the "lets put Joe there been smashed for the shenanigans" is true or not. Given that is china and not SNK the one developing the game I'm having this minuscule feeling sometimes that the game is not completely canon somehow. Correct me if I'm wrong pls.

GEESE. YES. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P3ALwKeSEYs/maxresdefault.jpg

I'm kind of surprised they showed him now, thought they'll do it at EVO or something.

I really, REALLY liked this trailer, my only real complaint is the use of "predictable" instead of old and simple "haha" or "too easy", sound simpler and works better. I mean, they can add both also.

And yeah, most likely Joe was there just to be there to be.. well, Joe.

From Facebook's KOF WORLD:

"THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV:
A New Teaser Trailer is going to be revealed soon! Stey tuned!!"

Can't handle the Kensou expectations!

Do any of you remember the hype for KOF XIII? Well their website was surely kept busy for the months until release.

I remember been so hyped entering the site almost every day to see the new additions to the roster :D LOVE IT!
Pretty much the same I'm doing now with 14, is insane how much I love this franchise (almost as much as MGS)

Oh and welcome to the boards Arkayruz.

Thanks everyone, its great to wait for the game with you guys :3

Rumor is that it's Ramon, Mai and South American Girl.

Source?

/v/ so very uncredible.

Weird. I saw that exact post on GameFAQs.

Expect he said that was what he HOPED for.

Mai after Athena?. I'll be surprised. Like, really surprised if true.

If KOF players install themselves in the past, no matter what SNKP does, KOF will die for sure.

Indeed!

I hope they're keeping enough fuel to keep this hype train running til release.

In all honesty, I don't think there is a lot of resources to hype the game once every character is shown on the trailers.
So they need to handle the numbers accordingly.

ALSO!

Assuming there will be a trailer today, who are you expecting to appear? >:D

I want to see Kensou SO BAD.

Challenges are cool, I would prefer something more convoluted and indeed... well, challenging. But party mode will do it for me.
You unlocked Mai because the game registers certain amount of hours in-game, after a certain amount of time you will unlock characters.

Given who's been revealed so far (officially), what team(s) do you think you'll main for sure?

I'm really, REALLY waiting for Kensou before I make any final team decisions. Is one of my favorite characters, like, way too much. The thing is, I hate the kind of sprites and goofiness they use for his character. I hate his 94-2002 design, it just looks like "that goofy kid that eats buns", I also dislike his XIII green attire, it just looks like "that random kung fu kid".
But his XI design?, is SO badass!, is great and really cool and.. I love it!, he also dominates the dragon power like he has never done it before and he has every possible move Kensou has learned so far. Best Kensou ever IMO (part of the reasons why I like XI so much)

Looking at the leak, he will have a black attire maybe?, so here's hoping that they give him the looks and personality he deserves. He is a freaking dragon!!, not a comic relief!! D:

...yeah... sorry for the rant.
