To playmore as well. I apoligize for being so mean about anything new..
After seeing those SSZero shots I freaked out. I love the new additions.
Not to happy about reused bg's. I dont really mind some chars. But these chars fit the attitude of SS.

I am moving into schitzo phases with each game. (Not really, expression wise, yes)
Which is interesting.
I wasnt to big on KOF 2K2.
Most people who read what I got to say know this.

SSZ gives me a feeling that SNK gave me a long time back. Its like if you saw previews to SSIII in gamefan, you just knew the game would rock.
SSZ looks like it has a good chance to rescue my attitude toward playmore. I sincerely hope it wont let me down.

I do not like lazy efforts, but there are some cool new chars.
Rade said Kusaregedo may animate like shit.
I HOPE NOT.

I mean you gotta love Mina and all.
I think it has a good chance, and what I am most concerned about are the voices.

I HOPPPPPE that they arent done by the inexperienced. I say that with 'Kusanagi' in mind from 2K2.
These games should all be future classics.

Thanks for hearing me out.

Love ya's.

Maybe this thread is a good idea. It's true, I may have been a bit too sceptical these last few days, but when you judge what Playmore have done lately, it's only natural.

I recal I once said that it's going to take time for SNKP to pick themselves up from the gutter AZURE left them in and re-organize, and maybe this year will be the year it happens. It's all building up to a kick ass MVS KOF2k3, I hope.

As Always, true judgement will have to wait untill we all starve for a week or two, plunk down the cash on these games, and truly try to enjoy them.

Also, LWK, I'm sorry I stuck my dick in your mouth while you were sleeping and took a picture.

What's the point of this thread?
I think it gives a chance for all of us naysayers to vent/appologise to SNK in a public forum. I think it is a nice idea. Nice. After all, according to Shawn McColgate, SNK PLAYMORE tends to troll these boards.

If playmore is reading this, then they should welcome all critisism. That is what they are trolling the boards for, isn't it?

No, I think they'd prefer to hear sucking sounds, but I pretty sure they don't ignore the complaints.

Say what you will, but at the very least, things seem to only be getting better...even if marginally.

Who said you stuck it in? I pulled that sucker in.

You don't know how happy I am that you have had to eat your words on this subject, seriously.

I was pretty apprehensive about the new stuff, but playmore seem to be packing the love into svc and ssz.

I am to. My attitude was right for the things they do beforehand.
I got most of my opinion when I heard the whole game was reused, in which it wasnt true.

Not a blessing. STRUGGLE!11111111111
No jk.

Its gonna take time to earn much needed respect. A high priced game comes with 10 times the normal "criticism"..
I am giving them a second chance, and putting my trust on the line for this release.
BELIEVE ME, if it sucks, I will complain. I will complain very much.

I was dissapointed in 2K2.
I was dissapointed in ROTD (Side party)

Believe me, 2K1 is there best release.
If you really play it, you will see what I mean.
2K2 is good to, but not what I would expect in a dream match. I'm a battered historian.
I wont give up on the day Krauser returns to his rightful throne..

KOF has seen its best days IMO. SS is more important to me because this game hasnt been seen in forever!...
Maybe deep down we all hate the fact that its not SNK employee's re-using sprites, but Playmore plagiarising SNK's former work.

Then again, if SNK had released that kind of crap, then it might be even worse.
The clock is our ultimate enemy. Lets ally with it for the time being.. And stab it in the back 21 times if it screws us.

I like this thread -it's people taking a moment to jump back from the "LOVE IT/HATE IT" camp and instead give honest opinions and apprehansions.

I think everyone is all over the spectrum. I personally am an optimist, but I still always have some concern :)

But what has playmore done? Ever? SNK vs Capcom: Chaos is their first release. Everything released post-SNK has been mega, sun, whoever. Not playmore, though. Furthermore, all current in-house releases have been done with recycled code if I'm not mistaken... SNK code.

I'm not sure if that matters, though. Sadly, SNK had become the king of recycling. In recent years, they'd seemed to be innovative on every piece of hardware but their own. Cool Cool Toon. Koudelka. After 1997 the only piece of art they put out on the Neo was LB2... and that was more or less recycled. Metal Slug? Taken from a different company and given an unrefined release of Slug 2. Sure X made up for it but Slug still loses my interest once I start fighting aliens. KoF had never been my cup of tea and they'd driven that down as far as it can go. MOTW seemed to be a "if you can't beat capcom, join 'em" venture. Everything was a sequal or a rehash... Real Bouts... you name it. Nothing has changed. Just the name to protect the guilty. You were right to begin with, Rade. Playmore hasn't done much lately.

The games SNK made that make the Neo special are the ones that were made well enough not to warrant a rehash. Sequals are fine for carrying stories, but the SNK games that stand alone are the true gems. Nam 75 is ours. Magician Lord is ours. League Bowling. Last Resort. Ninja Master's. These games are ours. You won't find them anywhere but on the Neo. You won't find more than one installment, either, because one was good enough. Long Relive SNK.

Playmore is doing the games like without a soul...

Thus they are re-hashes...

The end is really near...

But anyway, "sorry playmore you suck but I like to recieve your gratuities/left overs/recycles... keep on the good work" :rolleyes:

I'm just as guilty for hashing on Playmore recently. I am happy to finally see some ORIGINAL character designs coming from them as it seemed that they were just trying to capitalize on the hardcore Neo fan base by editing old code. We have yet to see how well these new creations play or animate, however, so I will save my praise until I am certain they deserve it.

I am thinking positive! Neo Geo in it's present form doesn't have long to live, but I'm gonna enjoy riding it out!

SNK FOREVER!

Just because it's a sequel doesn't automatically make it a re-hash. Look at Street Fighter 2, or Fatal Fury 2, or even Samurai Shodown 2. These games were infinitely more popular than the original game that spawned them because they took what was good about the first game, and improved upon it. SNK rehashed sprites, sure. But they also refined and added things to each sequel they made, be it gameplay or new characters. Are you saying that more of a good thing is a bad thing?
