I don't know about anyone else but the sprites look like gameboy advance sprites and the backgrounds are lame looking.

We need cleaner pics. Now I heard the backgrounds were "prerendered" ala Donkey Kong Country.....

Boooo.

I do like the art alot better on this one though. Ralf and Clark look great!

Finally some decent info.They look cool and the in-game art especially the character's potraits on the character select screen look cool.Definately better than 2001's art.But some of the drawings especially iori's look freaky.At least its not the in-game art i think.

This is the character select screen? <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />



Aren't they going to add a few more characters?

I think that they took the images from this poster/magazine, made a brutal zoom and that's why the quality isn't very high.





Thanks to SPEKSNK for the images.

some are good, some are just freaked up.
(like Yamazaki dracula lol)
I think my two fav chara arts are Athena(for clear reasons) and Angel. good jeez is she falling out of her clothes! She seems to have some markings or tattoo on her back. sweet.

I really like that background with the barn house in the backdrop. They don't really look pre rendered to me. I really like these backgrounds so far compared to 2K1.

simply.....disapointing <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

they're GREAT

man,if 2002 had EIJI itd be the BEST VIDEOGAME EVER

its a new kof !

its a new kof !

ITS A NEW KOF !!!!!!!!!!!!!

* dances *

This background looks pretty (badly) pre-rendered to me... eeekkk Hope it looks better in person. Actually I like some of the backgrounds a lot, like the one shown in the first post here,

-Nick

All of that character art is great. I'm actually quite surprised so far.

I really want to play it now.

Top character art again!
god am i happy that they hirered the
kof01 artist( <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" /> )..only for drawing the
poster.. yashiro looks like crap on it!

the geisha stage looks cool so far imo

but the chara roster is still lame and the
biggest dissapointment for me so far.

blah... as much as I like KoF... I really dont find this new version exciting at all... too much of the same. This would be KoF version 9 right? Damn...

I'd color myself pleasantly surprised by these screenshots. The backgrounds look pretty cool, and hey, we are back to 3-on-3 fighting again, which is the way it should be. If it's got solid tunes, a purchase might be in order. All in all, looking much better than 2001.

I'm more than willing to eat crow if Playmore comes through and this is a kick-ass episode of KoF.

Looks okay but if I wanted to play an older KOF I'll play 98. This is just too much of a step back. I hope next year they'll eliminate 75% of the cast.

I like the pics

Hum... iori looks redranw doing his "dragon punch" doesn't he?

Let's see how the animation/music works... at the moment it looks great (and good artwork)

are there any new characters?

I really, really, really, want this game. I'm going to buy it as soon as it comes out for MVS. The art work is just too good to be true. Plus I love the backgrounds, especially the barn with the "K", "O", and "F" sheep. That's hilarious!
But I will admit there are some things that I don't like, but it's all things we arleady knew before the screenshots. Like the character roster-No King, Shingo, Lin (why he was taken out instead of Ramon is beyond me) and Foxy. They will be missed. However I really can't see how such a small roster is going to be in 2002, hopefully we will see some hidden characters. If so, then this might be one of the best KoF games in recent years.
I didn't have a problem at all with the in game art of 2k1, in fact I hold 2k1 higher than 98 on my list as the best KoF game ever, but I did have a problem with the character designs themselves. As well as some of the original art released on mmcafe for 2k1 a year ago. But I must say that this art is fantastic, I guess the artist heard our complaints! I really dig the comic book style art. And man didn't Eolith make up for ruining Athena last year?! <img src="graemlins/makeface.gif" border="0" alt="[Make Face]" /> That is one slick costume. And I'm not even a Athena fan. But looks as if she will be getting some play this year.
I don't know how I'm going to feel abouyt the change back to 3 on 3, but the game shows promise. Everything is looking good so far. It's just I wish that there were more characters, after all it IS a dream-match... <img src="graemlins/makeface.gif" border="0" alt="[Make Face]" />

I like it

I like it a lot. It's not as ugly as KOF2K1, but still a bit flashy and overcolored. Wait and see... It won't be long now until we can play it at the amusement hall!
