It would help if you watched the entire video. Everything up to like, 00:26 is indeed KOF XI footage.

And yes, the sprites are indeed Hi-Res. Can't wait.

The real question is how many epic Hiroaki characters will be added?

If you honestly think SF4 won't sell well, you are not of this planet.

Capcom could make a Street Fighter train simulator, and still it'd sell.
Doesn't mean we have to like it.

you know capcom makes a hell of alot more than SF... and the other shit is good. SF4 ain't looking to bad now.

this 2D hi res KOF is great news.... lol but I think SNK is way more in the shitter than capcom. it's gonna take alot of dumps from snk to get anywhere near capcom.

what does commercial success have to do with anything?

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 8:49 pm

ummm... i wasn't talking comercial success.... although they have that also.

I'm talking the fact I've enjoyed games like devil may cry 3 and 4, resident evil 4, okami, god hand, lost planet, viewtiful joe, killer 7 and still have others on the way like resident evil 5.

I get way more entertainment out of capcom than playmore's recent history of crappy fake hi res filtered fighters of recent.

I'm really happy to see them redo the sprites FINALLY... but you guys act like they have been pumping out gold nuggets all this time. Sorry... regurgitated sprites that look worse than their originals due to all the fake hi res ect didn't cut it (and so does NOT making any new IPs that rock to take up the slack either). It seems like they finally got that through their heads.

You guys can hate on SF4 all you want but I'll do what I normally do... play both if they are good.

KoF's11 and NGBC were great games. Your just hung up on graphics.

It gives you the money to make the kind of games we like.

LOL.... you saying that they wouldn't look better if they didn't either; make real hi res sprites or just deal with true low res? those games are ok but no where near as good as past 2D fighters.

2... count them 2 ok titles after how many years is it now... after playmore bought up SNKs IPs then their SNK handle.

If you can live off nothing but playmore... more power to you.

I think it's really stupid we can't expect these companies to at LEAST make a game that looks as good as past titles. Now we have to hope that they will make something that's not to bad compared to their older games.

@strider: okay, you just confused me by saying "in the shitter". that's UK slang for going broke.

for what it's worth - playmore's recent fighters are better than capcom's recent efforts.

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:00 pm

what capcom recent effort..... they don't anymore. except for SF4 now.

capcom fighting jam was crap but they stopped after that.... playmore however made alot more shit.

My biggest point is all the capcom hate.... I get so much from them on a yearly basis. GOOD stuff to.... then playmore, we look at them. Whatever, they shat on my Samurai Spirits, did just OK by KOF. All efforts from them are just regurgitated sprites that were bought up from a dead company. They didn't even make any themselves hardly.

Indeed. Say what you will about KOF's sprite re-hash, but I'm pretty sure CFE was someone at Capcom's idea of a joke. It honestly surprised me that they didn't put that goddamn Morrigan sprite in it.

i can't agree with this...

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:13 pm

LOL... fine. Playmore is the shinning vidual of what 2D game should be now.

stuff that plays the same (sure slight new gameplay gimmicks ect goes without saying), no new IP's, recycled sprites, and regression in visuals.

you guys eating up this sub par crap is the reason we get it. maybe if you were a bit more scrutinizing and refused to except it they might have gotten a clue and done this HD KOF along time ago.

cave is one of THE examples of how a GOOD 2D company should do things. their shit gets better. ganted some folks like other games of caves better than others... but regardless things move forward for them. they get better looking and we get new IP's.

Dale · Post by **Dale** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:21 pm

I like KoF's11 and NGBC more then almost all fighters of the past,and if anything upscaling the sprites made them look better. Your comparing a company with a limitless budget to one that almost went out of business less then a decade ago. SNK still makes 2-D fighters, Capcom doesn't and never will again. SNK is actual trying to do something with one of my favorites genre's. Capcom(the company with more money) says doing a new 2-D Street Fighter would be too expensive. Then all of a sudden SNK(the company with very little money) comes out with is what undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous 2-D games ever made. Yes SNK has been lazy to an extent but it's helped their business, and after seeing KoF's12 I think it's been worth it. Before their most recent resurgence they couldn't have pulled this off.

All of the 3-D action games you mentioned are absolutely fantastic and I'm not arguing that SNK has made more good games as of late but in the 2-D fighter department Capcom shouldn't even be a contender in that department anymore.

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:26 pm

I'm saying this new KOF is the right direction, one that should have been started along time ago.

if anything upscaling the sprites made them look better

you can't be serious.

Capcom(the company with more money) says doing a new 2-D Street Fighter would be too expensive. SNK still makes 2-D fighters, Capcom doesn't and never will again.

they never said this.... and SSF2T HD looks quite nice. so does basra x. to me those look 2D...... never say never.

Dale · Post by **Dale** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:33 pm

How much involvement does Capcom even have the HD game? Arcsy is developing Sengouku Basara.
