KOF XIII PUBLISHED BY ATLUS!

[LouisCipher]

Lets hope Atlus gets on SRK's case on good netcode.

[krazykone123]

I doubt Atlus are going to have much role in localizing it.

As long as SNKP stays as far away as possible in terms of netcode related shit, then me and a couple hundred (maybe thousand) people could anonymously suggest them to use a much better more suitable netcode, like the one from such games as (AH3/BB/GGPO based/or even HDR, anything's better at this point) then we'll be good to go.

We want KOF XIII to have that new car smell, ya dig? To put things in a more literal perspective (and yes it's been said but whatever) this game will not sell without a good netcode backing it up. If SNKP hasn't learned they're lesson yet they're doomed to wallow in their pit of suck that they already dug themselves into.

New official thread coming soon.

It is official! Atlus sent out an email this morning and their PR manager messaged me last night. GET HYPE!

I think any publisher would make sure that the netcode of xiii is decend before signing any contract with snkp

Damn 25th of october is 5 months away But at least we know it's coming

Better yet fresh apple cinnamon pie right out of the oven smell


Between this and NG 3 gameplay, I feel like i died twice and went to heaven

Giby said in a Podcast with Gunsmith that XIII was developed with the console netcode in mind. But he also made the point that you can't just tack on GGPO to any game. The reason it works with so may games is because all those games are being emulated. (Blazblue uses something similar, but not identical.)

Although there's no official date yet, the game's most likely pretty far along. I'm sure SNK remembers the netcode complaints from XII, and I'm sure Atlus wouldn't be able to magically add GGPO to the game if people spam their message boards enough.

I think the only thing we can do is hope for the best re: netcode.

EDIT: The Atlus e-mail specifically mentions "vastly improved network functionality," providing "smoother, more stable online fights." They also mention "over half a dozen game modes to choose from."

[Eripio69]

Btw on the official page they say "Holiday Season". What do they mean?

Btw Shiranui_ninja I am european too so I hope we play together for best online experience cause playing vs Americans might suck:(

We got them to publish the game, ATLUS gets stuff done. As for SNKP they've damn near killed all their chances of serious KOF hype outside of 3rd world countries because of those XBLA ports, even if it were true that they made a more tolerable netcode SNKP is going to have a really hard time convincing the mainstream public that.

We shall see.

Btw on the official page they say "Holiday Season". What do they mean?

Around Christmas.

OMG waiting hurts more than ever now

Btw I hope we get a console trailer for E3 that shows exclusive characters:D

[omegaryuji]

Woo!  It's a good day to be an SNK fan

Anyone going to E3 to squeeze out as much info as you can?

[Rex Dart]

I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but Atlus USA has only announced the game for North America. I'm hoping there's announcements for Asia and Europe soon, so no fans have to wait any longer than they already have.

One important thing is where the F*ck is Luther Blisset and his omen of death

[desmond_kof]

This is how I feel.

Trolling somewhere else, no doubt. Maybe I should unban him. Nah, fuck it.
