KOFXIV Announced for 2016

[The Fluke]

Since KOF2000 was announced as one of the first wave PS2 titles to come to PS4, do you think Sony's "support" to SNKP and KOFXIV is gonna be extensive? I'm not getting my hopes high, but I think the "KOFXIV (maybe timed?) PS4 exclusive + KOF2000 soon on PS4" combo could be hinting at a not so shallow partnership...

Sony has obviously been working hard to make ps4 the go to fighting game console. I don't think we should expect support beyond releases for kof for now, but it's not impossible. Sony has Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Kof and probably Tekken aswell. Xbox One has killer instinct. Kof is one of the big series but it's not as obviously good a choice as Sf to further invest in but on the other hand, with Sony investing in fighting games like they have, maybe they want them to go "e-sport" and maybe they'll actually invest in all their big titles to cover as many competitors and fans as possible in order to speed that process up.

I literally mean someone from my twitter feed participated in it a day before i posted that, not the pdf lol

I know, but it is always good to have a reputable source of information in addition to personal claims, whether they be true or not.

It is strange that they should choose such a niche genre to get that extra edge, but since most titles are produced in Japan it comes somewhat naturally. However, outside the western market, mobile and PC platform would be the most sensible.

Worst roster might be 11 or 2k2um. 11 because it has a lot of crappy characters in it. 2k2um because of its big roster that does include a good deal of crap aswell.

Are you talking about balance?

Well, well.. The leak seems to be true after all. As I said I'm not a fan of this KOF roster, but at same time King, Mai and Mature are confirmed, so I won't complain ^^

I'm really hyped with that trailer. I wasn't expecting nothing more but what they teased in previous trailers, and suddenly we got 5 reveals more. Awesome. I'm glad to see King, but a bit disappointed she hasn't a new outfit, but her 96' suit. And I don't see that new outfit for Kula, I see her the same as always. I also loves Ralph new design. Can't wait see gameplay videos! I think the game starts to look pretty decent in therms of graphics, even the art direction is still a bit weak and generic.

You have to look closer. It's been modified.

Max Mode has been confirmed by people who are at the event: https://twitter.com/TheN4Us/status/673229831048265728

For a second, I thought Ralf was actually Terry. I wonder why they're holding off on revealing the popular characters like Terry, Mai, and Athena.

That being said, despite the rumor about the roadster size being true, I don't think the leak will be 100% true. Leaks rarely ever are, and that's mostly because leakers tend to put false stuff in them intentionally so they can not make it really obvious to the companies that they leaked everything. Or at least that's what I've heard.

I'm liking what I see so far

I saw it now, thanks. Looks ok

I like the winning team screen and the select character one. And gameplay looks quite good.

I don't understand why they didn't show Mai and Terry as well :/

Best news for me today is that Billy is in and he has his hair X)

No, just crap designs really.

On another note, i'm quite happy with what i've seen so far from psx. Animations seem to look better outside of trailers and they have shown a little bit of character personality with Kula already. I'm sure to be happy aslong as they throw in some more classic fatal fury characters. Hon Fu and Bob Wilson couldn't hurt. Probably not going to happen so i'll just keep hoping for Blue Mary.

I saw the new sfv character btw. He looks like street fighters answer to doctor baldhead. Potential main right there.

*Oh and i love the "sega arcade game" sounding announcers in kof14. Derpy and wonderful.
