Like I said a while ago, let's wait till E3(or whatever other huge gaming expo there is before then) to hear if SNKp has anything to say.

And on something of a bright side, I bet the arcade owners sure have benefitted from this game not having a console release so soon. I know us gamers who love our consoles have been aching for a release already, but sometimes even arcade operators have to benefit to. Just imagine how owners of SF4AE edition cabs are feeling like after finding out that that game is already getting a console release and IIRC that game has not even been out for 4 months.

Frionel's interview translated:

How strategic of SNKp; here's to hoping all or most of this will be confirmed post SSFIVAE console release. Like the honesty in the article, but would love it if SNK could say it. Oh well, say it with a confirmation SNKP

"As for new characters, I cannot say, but there will be exclusive content such as characters..." lol

Okay, SNKP...out with it.

This, to me, sounds plausible. I see this as a warning signal right before the actual announcement which I'll be be waiting for.

nothing new ...

I think that some french snk fans start rumours and troll to get reactions from playmore, or force them to make statements..like the one regarding playmore's intentions of shutting down the game section - that also came from a french site - as a result playmore issued a press statement on gamespot.
If playmore was ready to make a statement the following days or "soon" Frionel should have shut up and not make any public statements (you don't have to be a genius to figure it out - when it comes to announcements it looks ridiculous for a company to get their games announce by some random guy) but as i said i think this is just a joke or that guy is really stupid

also he talked a bit "too much" about some stuff that for sure he shouldn't have! - in case he really has some connections at playmore and this is not some joke

Even though I agree with your sentiment until some point, I must add that this is SNKP what we're talking about, they had done more stupid shit than this in the past

It's not like we're talking about capcom leaking news from a random guy

apart from that the big deal is that the guy talks a little too much with someone at playmore and statements like:

QuoteThe reason why we didn’t get an announcement is because today SNKP have a strategy of “all or nothing”. When they were working on XII, which wasn’t finished, they released it because there were commercial issues at stake with another game company resurrecting a huge fighting game saga


QuoteThe problem was that if Capcom released a new version of SFIV when XIII was released on console, SNK would be left headbutting the wall " SF wouldn’t give KOF a chance " Capcom is a marketing steamroller. There isn’t one fighting game that can rival SFIV in terms of sales. It’s just impossible. Everyone can take advantage of the sales of SFIV for the fighting scene in general but they can’t compete with it.


makes playmore look like an oportunistic, uncompetitive and unprofessional company willing to sell you shit and promise you anything for a quick buck  :) (not that it's not a fact lately but it comes in a semi-official way = )) )

le: also 99% of the leaks from capcom are on purpose :) - you create more hype with leaks than with official announcements

desmond_kof

I thought what was said in that interview seemed like it made a lot of sense, especially since the pressure is pretty thick on SNKP and if this game flops like KOFXII, it's a wrap for them.

yes but the problem is that it's one thing me or you make some suppositions and it's another thing when someone that has a friend or whatever at playmore and makes those statements because as i said it's a semi official way to say the company is in big shit (he doesn't make suppositions but statements there - that stuff comes from the mouth of his friend ) - which is bad for the image of any company.

Read the interview again if you have a copy and you will see what i mean

Kof XII didn't floped , it sold quite well, even ignition said it :)
- is it a shity game? - of course

sibarraz

kof xii did flopped, for ignition maybe was a success, for SNKP, the guys who made the game, didn't, the arcade was a total failure and the sales in the japanese stores didn't helped
