KOFXIV Announced for 2016

17 stages is an extraordinary amount of stages, it would be awesome. Let's see if you are right

I hope that game's performance is consistent between stages. Haven't played SFV that much, but I can certainly feel that that some stages slighlty slow down the game, even if my PC should be able to handle those.

How many stages does SFV have right now? Does kof already have more?

Ok so sfv has around 11 with the training grid stage I think. So kof could pump out some more.

Eleven stages. None of them aren't particulary intresting, except maybe Bustling Side Street (China), because it has at least one special out of bounds knock out and it is somewhat interactive. And apparently it is also the the laggiest stage in the game, but I can't confirm that.

It's also my fav stage from sfv because it has resemblance to the older china stages like in 3S. I can imagine it dropping framerate with all the shit going on like weather and dangling lamps

They might take a page from kof 96, where the fatal fury and art of fighting stage where shared. And I think they fought at different times of the day. Team Japan and psycho soldier team also shared the Osaka stage.

So they have done that before.

@shinefist: yea you're right. But what makes me wonder is why they would call it fatal fury stage then? And in the Stream we saw recently you could hear the themes of the teams, AoF seems to have their dojo theme back too so idk.

So far it has been one stage per team so there is no reason to assume otherwise yet.

We might see AOF team's new stage when Yuri is revealed. Maybe it will be her gym this time instead of a dojo?

[shinefist]

I'm just saying what's happened in 96... I personally think they will build a stage per team.

As the good loser said. The fatal fury team has their own stage, I forgot about that stage pic.

Maaan this will be the longest 7 days in history for me. Then it's tournament time

[The Good Loser]

Well we might get a teaser on Thursday to quench the thirst xD

Let's hope.. I'm parched for a 2 min trailer

Hope we get a release date on the day of the tournament. That's only the right thing to do, or to reveal something new to us and for the people that turn up to enter.

And I'm not refearing to the kof XIV drink they will hand out.

There has been new rumors about this "PlayStation 4K". New rumor says that there is infact something like this coming and it is called PlayStation Neo. It is supposed have beefier hardware inside. Upcoming games should support both new and old PS4, but you can't develop games just for Neo or old PS4, to avoid what Sega did with Mega Drive and it's expansions back in the day.

I wonder does this affect KOF XIV in anyways? Sure Neo-version might have smaller risk of performance reduction, but so far XIV seems to be game that "old" PS4 should handle just fine. Neo is targeted more on the VR and 4K playback, but games on Neo should have some iprovements.

I don't see KOFXIV as a game that could take advantage of the Neo system, unless Sony demanded to include some Neo-only features in their "support contract" xD
