Metal Slug will be turned into a cover based shooter!

Also, MORE PACHINKO GAEMS GAIS!!!

Fuck SNK.

what a happy family we all are

We should all move to Mexico.

[SNK seems more interested in making endless strings of shitty Pachinko games and running their IPs into the ground than doing anything substantial.]

My comment was partly troll and partly truth. Community-wise nothing is going on. There is no hype for this game. There's very few local scenes. What Atlus did by getting the game on PSPlus is a nice gesture but it doesn't get around net code issues. Very few tournaments still run the game. And nothing is going on with the forums. No one's talking about anything. No strategies, no nothing but for the occasional blip on the radar. There is tension and anger and angst in the air. It's like a post-apocalyptic film.

SNKP needs to announce something soon regarding their Fighting Game Division.

The game ain't dead by a long shot, but it blows my mind that SNK can't possibly ride the wave of recent interest in KOF to do a revision, a sequel or another game entirely.

The fact of the matter is that if you don't have good netplay these days, your game is not going to last. Players are the life blood of the scene, people don't always have the money to go to tournaments in a bad economy and arcades aren't as plentiful as they were before. We can't just keep hammering the same dumb points over and over. This is a problem and it's going to continue to be a problem until they do something about it. As it stands though, SNK seems more interested in making endless strings of shitty Pachinko games and running their IPs into the ground than doing anything substantial. If this is how it's going to end, I'm sad to see them go out with a drawn out wimper.

I'm not saying TT2 AND T6 were not deep fighters. They are. The problem lies with the monotony online looking for easy wins with lag I guess.  If you compare it to KOF XIII it would be like going online and whether you had lag or not everybody wants to just throw fireballs to win. Can you get around it? Yes. Are you winning? Yes. Is it any fun to stop the same crap over and over?  No. When it was only a couple of stupid characters you can overlook it cause most did not feel a compulsion to play one. The original TT you had Eddy, Jun, Devil Kazuya (laser), and Baek. Now there's those characters plus LiLi, Asuka, Devil Jin (laser),  Christie, and Alisa. Out of 59 characters there are only  9 I would consider a beginner spam type (I could be missing a few but those are the main ones I see spammed). That's not that bad, but that's also close to what MVC2 ran with for high level play. So, I'm sure that's enough to where spammers get a variety and the players who want to learn, play, and have fun with the game get to sit here and beat down the same B.S. game in and game out. That's why I say it can get boring to a point to limiting how much time you spend on it. I, by all means, do not feel that this game is not worth the money or that there isn't a deep fighting system in it as well. IT's a great game just catering to beginners has it's drawbacks.

If you keep falling for lasers, you fucking suck. I can easily tell you haven't learned anything about the game after seeing that comment. Dude, sidestep or duck. I can easily tell you haven't put any time into learning the system. This isn't a 2D fighter.

It's not catering to beginners. Learn to parry, learn to sidestep, learn to block low, learn to Korean backdash, learn to play the game.

This game is fucking amazing. It's the most fun I've had in a long time. I blow through scrub choices all the time, they all do the same things.

I love the changes to the system. I love the possibilities with the tag system. I love Kunimitsu. I love this netcode. I love this game.

Tekken is fun.

AWWW YEAH!

It's probably gonna take time to bring out their next game, just like with KOF XII/XIII, especially if you're looking for the same kind of quality. It's odd how KOF and SF sort of switched places for a while; KOF got a once-every-few/five-years release schedule, but now SF4 is getting yearly updates (thought of the same exact game). I'd rather play what's good now instead of playing and really pining for then next unreleased fighter.

That's fine, but SNK has been doing jackshit besides pachinko machines. Great fucking company. At least Capcom has more than 0 new games coming out this year.

Maybe SNK can join Sega and Hudson into hell.

Fuck SNK. KOF IS NEVER COMING BACK.

SCV was a failure? It moved over a million units, had a pretty hype Evo Top 8, and was at MLG for two seasons. I'd hardly call that a failure. Although it was pretty lacking in content for a SC game, it plays decently at least.

A million is a failure for a franchise like Soul Calibur. SFxT also sold over a million too. Was that a success too?

Also, EVO Top 8 was awful. I dunno what you're talking about, get your eyes checked. The game is total shit and has only gotten worse. Only thing keeping that stinker alive is its stubborn fanbase that accepts anything with the brand name on it.

Plus I seriously doubt that Capcom is closing his FG division anytime soon, they still had to hype DS and if evertyhing else fails, they still had an street fighter V that you know will do well unless they really screw it big time

Then why haven't we heard about anything for this coming year yet? No fighter in their usual 1st quarter spot. They are either done or scaling it WAY back. Not like it matters anyway, a new Darkstalkers is guaranteed to be total shit anyway.

Another Street Fighter is a WAYS away, why take away the steam IV already has?

A disc update would get them more money but who knows how successful it would be. Hate to say it but the fighter market is a little flooded but then again this is entirely for the diehards so... I don't know.

How can you see into the future to tell that the market will be flooded when it comes out?

It's hardly flooded now. What with the fantastic failures of SFxT, Skullgirls, BBCSEX and SCV? The small, but dedicated VF community? The fact that the only ones going to have a decent community are going to be P4A and TTT2? That DOAV may end up being a catastrophic failure like everything else Team Ninja has put out in the last few years? The possibility of Capcom putting their fighting division on hold like they do for everything that doesn't do well for them?

Would anybody have a problem if SNKP made their fighter 2.5d's or experimented with other methods thats not sprite?

Not everyone was excited over Maximum Impact. Not to mention, it'd be a waste of the sprites they already crafted.

That's only if the cable companies don't feel like finding ways of still screwing us over anyway.

Don't get hype over trailers that don't show you shit.

You don't know Megaten all that well if you didn't get hype for that. It's the little things that make all the difference and I caught at least 5 major aspects from that.

1. It's going to be a 3rd person perspective like Nocturne.
2. First time that the main series will have voiceovers and good ones for that matter.
3. Female protagonist?
4. Using remixes of classic tracks.
5. Kaneko reprises his work as the main artist.

But what do you know? You're the one that was excited for that overhyped piece of shit known as Diablo III. How'd that one go?

Gotta love when people make excuses for their shitty games.

No.

[officially bombing their offices]

Wish they'd be "THE" "KING" of Netcodes instead.

Anyways, seriously, if SNK can't do something substantial next year for Samsho's 30th anniversary, I'm officially bombing their offices and breaking all their stupid pachinko machines.

Wouldn't that be counter-intuitive?

Makes no difference if they weren't going to do anything to begin with. It's not like a give a fuck about them porting their old games 'til the end of time.

As long as it doesn't make KOF play like Arc games. I love Arc games, but I've always wondered and maybe figured that how they play has to do with why it's a good netcode.

I doubt it, though it's possible for BB since it's pretty damn slow compared to all their other efforts. I'm sure SNK can come up with something decent but they're going to have to take the netcode into consideration from the get go. Which is something that they're not really experienced with.

Hypest shit ever. Everyone buy a 3DS now. Your system has been chosen for you.
