No SNK games on PS3 before 2009

"In words of the marketing manager of SNK-Playmore, Yoshihito Koyama, the first title they'd develop for the Sony Playstation 3 probably won't reach the market until 2009, the reason is that the development cost and initial investment is really high and the user base will not be high enough for their games to sell.

This seems to be another turnover from the third party game developers regarding the excesivelly high standards from Sony, just to add one of the many drawbacks the company has had since the E3 '06, when the presentation of the PS3 left too much negative impressions in the gaming consumer and development ambient."

truth!

Don't think it matters anyway, got plenty of stuff to get on the old neo and ps2. If they bring out some good games on ps3 thats great, if not I won't miss much............(except MOTW 2 if ever)

Well the PS3 will suck ass anyway - overpriced and it'll only have Metal Gear and Grand Turismo. Just buy a Xbox360 for sports games and Halo 3, and a Wii for everything else.

Playmore is SNK. It was founded by the same person with the goal to buy back SNK which was being slowly assimilated by their parent company at the time.

What in the hell would it take to make you Playmore haters happy? They could release the best fighter ever in the history of mankind, and you guys would still hate it just because of that damn P at the end of the name.

NGBC, SS6, KOFMI 2 (hate 3D all you want, its still a fun game), and especially KOF XI are proof that SNKP does NOT suck. Sure, we'll get stuff like Metal Slug 3D, but show me a company that doesn't occasionally make a crappy game, and I'll show you a flying alligator.

Playmore doesn't need the next gen, the current gen machines are more than enough for their types of games. Not to mention if they release on the PS2 the PS3 ppl can still play em.

Uh yuk!

But in all seriousness, I agree with you. No matter what anyone things, SNKP will always be an improving company with future prospects unlike its predecessor. SNK hardly if ever released games for mainstream console systems, it was always the likes of Takara and others who ported them. These guys although a bit late are grabbing it by the horns and actually doing things right. Expect a couple of weak games, its not like they've been doing so much 3D in the first place. For a company that is suddenly getting into mainstream 3D gaming, they're doing a very good job. Capcom has been doing non-stop 3D since the days of Resident Evil, and yet we get lemons like Crimson Tears and Final Fight Streetwise. They're also playing it smart with the PS3, it is a very risky investment to be getting into that system in the first place and are waiting until it has set foot into ground (by 2009ish) to see if it's worth making games for it or not.

Like Diavle said, PS2 games can be played on PS3. Considering that we're playing ports of games that originated as far back as 1994 on the PS2 and XBOX, I can't see how that will be a problem.

Yeah, let's pay $800 for homebrew crap instead!

Its true Playmore sucks and SNK is dead and the funny thing is they cant think of anything original they just go back to popular titles like metal slug and destroy the franchise by making a crappy 3d version.

halo3 probly will require the "optional accesory" the hd-dvd drive for xbox. so 200 bucks plus 60 dollar game.

xbox 360 doesnt seem so cheap does it when you are required to buy "optional accesories" just to play games.

If PLAYMORE was SNK thier games would kick ass and we would not have seen MS5 get totally raped! Death to Playmore and thier god damn raping of SNK games!

So in other words, thier HD-DVD drive is worthless to even think about. It figures they would release something totally worthless on that console, oh but this is Micro$oft were talking about here, lol. Buy 10 things to make thier system complete or buy it complete outta the box?? Ill stick with Sonys machines, thanks!

Don't pretend that everything that came out of SNK was sweet and rosy. A fair number of their early games either blew ass or were decisively mediocre, and while most of the games from their golden period in the mid to mid-late 90's were fantastic, they weren't necessarily the perfection many claim them to be.

MS5 didn't get totally raped. Yes, they cut stuff out that should've been in the game, but the game is still a complete blast to play, and more enjoyable than MS4 was IMO.

At least 360 owners actually have the choice of paying less than $600 for a console. For those who don't care for a blu-ray player, that feature is worthless. Besides, using your PS3 for movies/games will wear the drive out A LOT faster than having an additional HD-DVD drive, where each drive is used specifically for its own purpose. It's the same as combo drives for computers back in the early 2000's. Almost everyone with half a mind would buy a seperate DVD-ROM and a seperate CD-RW drive rather than a DVD/CD-RW combo, which were notorious for breaking down regardless the company.

It took them (Playmore) 6 YEARS to finally come out with 1 Decent game (KOF XI) and quite honestly if it took them that long for one good game, no thanks, SNK would have givin us much better stuff by now. IMO playmore stinks compared to the real deal, the good ol SNK.

so why is this hilarious again?

fuckin' fanboys

Ooooh I didnt know an extra $100 would be bothersome for NeoGeo owners, lol, hmmm twice the performance on games and something that KILLS DVDs totally (BluRay) and only $100 dollars more, plus the BEST Exclusive titles to boot, man the PS3 is simply better in every aspect and if you decide 360 over it, your just a lame fanboy of shitty ass American JUNK! HD-DVD, pfff dont make me laugh. So in other words your stuck with DVD9 games for the next 4 years and your happy about that? LOL! please...... 360 owners are such damn fools. Remember the Dreamcast? Remember its fate? Everyone (Including myself) bought one for its superior graphics, its cheaper price, its smaller design, etc... and when the PS2 came out it was shit city for us DC owners. Same thing will happen to 360 now that it doesnt have "The power of X" under the hood, now its just a wimpy ass little baby and its gonna get blown away by the "Power of the PS3", lol.

Only a $100 extra and you get a better system, just remember that, oh but lets not forget the dumbass fanboy remarks "But its got Halo!!!!" and your answer is "Yup, so will the PC, so it is NOT exclusive!" and the PC version has more content (Halo 1 on the PC had Online Features for example) so all in all everyone has thier own opinions about it, and mine is 360 is a joke, and on Nov. 15th everyone will find out why.

Oh god, I just remembered 360 doesnt even have HDMI, it uses Component still , EEEwwwwww... Who the hell wants to look at that washed out looking garbage when they can finally view HD games in NextGen HDMI!?

What a dumb, dumb post.

October 22, 2001 is when old SNK folded.

July 7, 2003 is when they gained back their intellectual rights back and were able to start going full force with their franchises.

That's 3 of your proclaimed 6 years down the tube, where the company was going through some heavy turmoil, and yet they STILL were able to release awesome games such as KOF 2k2 and successfully shifted their views towards prospects which contain future (by roaming into 3D gaming and finetuning/perfecting their old games).

Then you have games like the Maximum Impact series (which is developing itself quite nicely), as well as the atomiswave games they made, and all the ports that SNKP is doing for themselves so they can get their games out into the mainstream fold of gaming. SNKP is doing exactly what they should have done years ago. If they did, they might have not gone out of business so easily.

Please give me a break, man, Playmore shit sucks and you just wanna hold onto it because they are all of whats left of SNK. Since SNKs demise all they have left of the old SNK staff are the LAZY ones that cant make shit anymore without the help of thier old SNK staff that left, SNK is changed so badly by that, that I cant stand them anymore. Playmore makes pure junk, and thier 3d crap is worthless. I played MAX IMPACT and MS3D and they completely stink of teh shit! Playmore and 3D dont mix. Sadly Playmore and 2D dont mix well either. I hope Playmore dies a good death!

You thought KOF2k2 was good, holy hell man that game blows so badly its unreal! KOF2000 is the BEST they ever made of the KOF series or ever will make IMO. KOF XI is ok, but as good as the old SNK, hell no! and that NGBC and SS Tenka, please gimmie a break, they blew also. Playmore is just plain BAD!

If SNK did ages ago what they are doing now, I would have sold the Neo-Geo and said piss on that system! Release ports!? No thanks... Atomiswave instead of Neo-Geo, again, no thanks. Screw Delaymore.... thier done in my book.

First off, HD DVD currently is killing Blu Ray in sales. Go look it up.

Second, you inherently contradict yourself several times in this paragraph. Please make up your mind on whether superior specs make a system or break a system.

Third, DVD format was already well established during the release time of the PS2, and it was one of a kind. Blu Ray and HD DVD are still in their infancy stages so it's a HUGE risk on Sony's part to integrate the blu-ray drive into the PS3. Whereas if the HD-DVD flops, 360 owners aren't stuck with a $600 worthless pile of metal and plastic. They can still use their machine for its initial purpose, and that's to play its games.

It also falls back on developers too. Most of them are saying development for PS3 is way too costly. Sure there wil be some exclusives, but the majority of games both systems will share. Companies won't go out of their way to graphically enhance something significantly for the PS3 just because of the capability of the system. XBOX's superiority in specs didn't guarantee similar better looking games than the PS2. What makes you think that PS3 will change developers minds and force them to put in more money to a PS3 counterpart of a game they intend to make for both systems?

But most of all, it ultimately falls back on the consumer. Whether you like it or not, just like with the XBOX and the PS2, they will both be getting the same games. And then it falls back on the consumer whether they want to pay $50 or $70 for the same game.

Only a $100 extra and you get a better system, just remember that, oh but lets not forget the dumbass fanboy remarks "But its got Halo!!!!" and your answer is "Yup, so will the PC, so it is NOT exclusive!" and the PC version has more content (Halo 1 on the PC had Online Features for example) so all in all everyone has thier own opinions about it, and mine is 360 is a joke, and on Nov. 15th everyone will find out why.

360 is developing to be more than just a halo box. Its state-of-the-art online play is what makes it shine now and right now, this is whats

Its great to see you have so much enthusiasm in the PS3's release. Just don't let your fanboyism blind you. A true fan of any given company will be more than happy to correct said company if they make mistakes. A fanboy cheers them on regardless what the potential/actual outcome is.
