I'm not saying that it's going to suck... ...I just don't like cel-shading (if that is what they're going to implement) at all.
Ah well, who cares, if the new KoF is only half as good as people make it out to be, we're in for a real fighter treat.

I'm a little curious about the cel-shading notion, myself. Might not be "true" cel-shading, at least not in the sense that people tend to think... ie. Wind Waker. I've seen it done with more of a textured look. If they could pull off a method that looked more like the old sprites, that could actually be pretty neat.
Honestly, I'm not extremely surprised... I was thinking they might do a higher-res redraw with a bunch of rotoscoping from the MI games.

Doesn't that kill the phrase "The Ultimate 2D fighter" SNKP has been throwing around with the game? I'm all about evolution in gaming, but why not go that route with another MI game? It could still be interesting, but I dont see a game thats been in production this long see release in another year, year and a half. Also it says the game will be released early 2009 on PS3/360 but "Before that, late 2009 in Arcades" Maybe they mean 2008...even then that seems too long of a way off for the arcade release. That quote doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me.

They could do a cell shading more similar to the Crackdown approach than to Jet Set Radio.
I'm cautiously optimistic.

But seriously, this news doesn't sound too good. At first, I thought the news referred to KOF MI R.A. 2, but I guess I was wrong.
Best case scenario: It turns out to be as good as Project Justice.
Worst case scenario: It turns out to be far worse than KOF '01 and MI combined.
I'm sure the reason why it's taking so long is because they're either focusing on games us forum runners don't give a damn about (read: Doki Doki Maho Shinpan 2 (sp?), numerous cell phone and pachislot games), or working on compilations that a more competent programming staff would've churned out by now.

It has potential to be good since the game will still be played on a 2D plane and will hopefully have a static camera (aside from panning left and right of course and possibly some zooming in/scaling on DM's like in SF3 if they wanted to do that). Maybe only the characters will be 3D and not the backgrounds... I keep picturing it like The Rumble Fish, even though that's not 3D... Hopefully it won't have any BS side-stepping with a rotating camera.
Still though, I'm kinda hoping that this is just misinformation or a hoax or something...
It'll take a lot for this to work right.

Lots and lots of hentai...

But seriously, I can't find any screenshots of the stupid game, just a lot of abstract, convoluted otaku crap and forums whose users spew said otaku crap.

It's hard to make a judgment just yet, but I'm skeptical for sure. I'll wait until there is actually a screen shot before deciding.

Suzumiya Haruhi no yakusoku from Bandai Namco Games. Unfortunately, the movies section is not yet active, and most of the screenshots are of the "event scenes" rather than the mid-play animations / mini-game stuff you're looking for.Soniku said:I decided to run a search on Haruhi Suzu---whatever on Google and all I got was hentai...

You know, when I read this post my first reaction was
FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK!
But then, I thought to myself, this could work. What if it IS cool? Keep everything on a 2D plain, bring all the characters in, have the same system... with a high enough polygon count, this could end up being pretty badass still. I love the quality that 2D gives, but 3D, at high enough polys could end up being pretty neat, if done right. If it weren't for Viewtiful Joe, I wouldn't have this opinion, but that series did the 3D on a 2D plane well, so let's just wait and see.
With that said, I was dying... DYING to see what high res 2D kof sprites looked like.

I like this news myself. SNKP's biggest sin has been recycling sprites and animations from older SNK games and selling it as new. At this point, having them make a game from the ground up is encouraging even if it fails on them.
Now, if only they could give the KOF series a rest for a few years and make a brand new 2D fighter from the ground up. Either that, or a sequel that isn't KOF/SS (Last Blade, Fatal Fury, Fuun, etc).

people forget that SNKP don't know how to make decent games or decent characters anymore. Falcoon fucked things up proper. MI? fucking l.o.l.!
if it where any other company thinking of doing such a thing it'd be interesting at least as a notion of what could arise. but this is Playmore and I don't trust them to pull off jack shit. so when the game drops in a few years (lol 2009), check out this stupid post and agree with me. chau.
