SNKP hasn't attended TGS for several years now. I don't expect that to change this year.
My guess is SNK is already working on KOF XIV, though.
There's actually a really good chance they'll do an arcade update with 3-5 new characters. They need to do something to get the game back in the top 10 most played in Japan.
My own personal estimate puts the development cost for 9 months and a small staff of people somewhere around say 100-150K. Depends on how many characters though. I'd bet anywhere from 3-6 personally. That is assuming fully complete characters, no KOF12 version of Mature. Then there's the possibility of headswap or EX characters like EX Ralf, Garou Terry, and Kim's Sons which would obviously cut some corners.
Let's say a quarter of the people who bought 13 on consoles pay $15 for 3-6 new characters. Though it would probably be closer to $20 because Micro$oft and $ony take half of all digital sales. Roughly 25K people would buy DLC at $15 would be about 375K, half that goes to SNKP so 75K on both consoles. Possibly more because mostly diehards like us bought 13 and it's highly likely that closer to 50K would buy the new characters.
No freaking clue what they make off the arcades in Japan and Hong Kong. That most likely is the deciding factor.
Unlikely that they would tweak the netcode again unless Atlus flips the bill for patching. There's a decent chance of that though.
I would guess if they're going with DLC plus tweaks we'll get Adel and Oswald because they did some work on them and the assets are there. Plus 2-3 headswaps and fanservice in the form of Geese or Rock.
Or just more pachinko and cell phone hentai games...
So quiet here.. Time for an out of topic chat to start!a billion more pachinko games and probably some more releases of old games
TGS is almost here! What do you expect from SNKp?
I agree with this but I'd like to see XIV or a dream match before anything else. They should invest more in the netcode, heck they should revamp it and make it excellent world wide. They should give more attention to the digital market also, especially the PC. If they can bring the game digitally on PSN and XBLA then they can bring it on PC. They should bring their older games also on PSN not just XBLA; I'd like to see KoF2k2UM and 98UM on PSN.
I agree with you that we need to see XIV or a dream match before anything else, and the netcode really needs to get fix... but something that I will love see is a tournament move: 16th or 32th players that will be nice.
One thing! They need to announce something before the high of XIII goes down, I will said before the end of the year.
They just need to said they are working on something and show some pictures.
Who wants KOF XIII Evolution?
I think SNK should focus on updating the console version of XIII with more moves and more characters for the next Evolution tournament and release the game on PSN and XBL a few months before.
I'd prefer if they would refrain from doing that. giving characters just one additional move can change how the whole character functions and easily break the balance of the game. It all seems well planned out as it is, and while i'd gladly see more moves etc in the next installment, it's not worth it to kill this game for it.
