Lets hope they have something new about KOFXII rather than a logo.

Awesome.

Here's to hoping it at least has the same or better animation quality then SF: 3rd strike and MOTW.

Better than MOTW, that would be cool.

3rd strike, is better animation even possible?? That shit is still unmatched 8 years later.

Seems that we will get at least *some* info. Nice.

I'm more interested in what new features the game will have, never had a prob with the animation in KoF in the first place... I like it a lil' more rough. :)

I agree. But I wonder what else can they put in?

I hope for good animations, too, but rather expect something in the quality of Guilty Gear or the Fist of the North star game.

Sad to say, but I agree with you. High res means shit animation. Not once have I been proven otherwise on this... but that's because there's not a lot out there to judge. Hopefully this breaks that mold.

I wish it could look like SF III or better.

I also want reverse frames for whenever being on 2P side. This has been a staple long overdue in 2D fighters, and SNKP could so do it if they wanted to.

I'm sure it will play great. I was very impressed with how fresh, fluid, and fun KOF XI felt.

KOF 98 Animation + High Res will = SEX!

I personally think GGX Animates ok, i'm just hoping it is completely redrawn and not just lots of extra frames that don't fit in right : See Kim KOF2000....

High Res would be nice but i am not holding my breath.

I'm not falling for Abasuto's bait.

That'd be an absolute and complete waste of time and resources.

I hope nobody ever tries to do that.

I don't see MOTW or 3rd Strike animation happening here, I simply don't think SNKP has it in them.

I'll be happy with the better animated KOF characters at high resolution.

I'm ready to be disappointed.

Had they had a console with the horsepower to push it, I'm sure SNK could have matched or topped 3S back in the mid 90's. That's when they gave a OCD level to every detail.

SNKP doesn't give a shit. All the post-AES/MVS KOF's have been a sad attempt at nostalgia.

That simply isn't true.

But this is not the place to discuss that.

I doubt it will be anything that will age well if they are going to reveal it this early.
