interesting note about kof2k2....the shadows.

evil wasabi · Aug 30, 2002

look at the screens.

the character shadows are behind them, and not infront.

all the other kof games afaik, had the shadows infront of the characters. (dont remember 2k1)

i remember someone mentioning that the characters looked to finnally blend in with the bg's.

this is definately a contributing factor...

i just thought i'd point it out..

2k2

98

nice observation dude!

dude, this kof is so gonna rock

SNKFreak · Aug 31, 2002

The old school KOF games had alternating shadows. Like KOF 96, some were under some were above.

Tora Kouhi · Aug 31, 2002

Now the character has more detail that way. The shadows were too distracting in the other KOFs.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are those background people in a giant clog?

You are correct, Jigen. The Dutch drive those to herd sheep into the windmill, wool shearing machines.

SNKFreak · Aug 31, 2002

Very good to know.

Fygee · Aug 31, 2002

I wonder if you can import one of those...

SNKJorge · Aug 31, 2002

Good to know.

laurie · Aug 31, 2002

Do the shadows still flash?

Hehe, cool.

"KING OF FIGHTERS 2002!! ... oh, and VF4 evo, too", that's how it's supposed to be.

Must tell the idiots of our gaming mags over here what a mag worth its salt should put on the fukn front page.

Over here, it's a 5x5 cm box in a mag, on p. 143 or so, something like "in case you didn't know, apparently there's a sequel to KoF". What smart move.

Megatron X · Aug 31, 2002

Yes you are right. I didn't notice that the shadows in KoF series were in front.

KoF 2K2 looks nice. I can't wait for the arcade release, that is if my local arcade can afford it. They are a bunch of cheap assholes.

Sure.
The Neo can't handle transparencies by hardware, so what they do is paint one pixel of each two of the shadow or paint the shadow once every two frames to emulate it, and that's what they get that flash effect.

nope, they are in GA's *** dildo plane.

the_colonel · Aug 31, 2002

SNKfreak is right, kof 96 also has the shadows at the back & at the front, also they can be at different angles depending on the stage & where the sun is at in that stage.

evil wasabi · Aug 31, 2002

well, ihavent played many kof;s in a wwhile, so sorry i wasnt exactly right, but you get the point

anyway, i think they should just stick with solid shadows or something, the flashing ones are annoying.

ShikiMikoto · Aug 31, 2002

yeah, I know, and the flashing shadows look kinda cheap also.

JonathanDonovan · Sep 1, 2002

Damn, I need a neo.

Samurai Hamster · Sep 1, 2002

Every time I see those pics of 2002 I get more excited ! Maybe its the giant clog ,
