Is SvC AES stale?

Mike · Oct 23, 2003

Don't get me wrong.. I am highly anticipating playing SvC on my AES next month but....

Does it seem stale to you already, considering the delay?

I'm hoping that this feeling will pass once the game arrives.

got the dvd to keep the interest level up. also, ss5 should keep me busy for a while :buttrock:

I mentioned about a month ago while I'm appreciative of this game finally becoming a reality,the combination of the extensive coverage, content of the final product and the double delay has made me nautious at this point.
SNKP really dropped the ball here and has really JAMMED their distributors placing them in a bad situation.
SNKP has dropped the ball here with the content of SVCC imo.
I personally was expecting this game to be the quality equivalent of a modern day SamSho 2 production,meaning that it would be destined for' classic status' and SNK would finally rise from the pack as #1 in the opinions of all 2D fighter fans.
SNK set such a standard of making every component of a production important and I'm not seeing this from SNKP or 3rd parties.
Sure,the releases are much welcomed BUT it's important to retain the good qualities of SNK and correct or improve on the problems of the past.
The saving grace for me now is the release of this title in MVS cartridge format for various good reasons and they would be cost,aesthetics and slot compatibility.

It is kind of too bad... there has been mucho coverage, tons of videos, screenshots, and I have played it in the arcade for some time now.

I am still looking forward to owning a copy and getting into its finer points.

kernow · Oct 23, 2003

still haven't played it, I'm guessing I never will now.

fantat · Oct 23, 2003

Yeah, I was so pumped for this game, but the delay has killed my enthusiasm. Hopefully around Nov 10th I'll get the feeling back. Speaking of Nov 10th, has anyone heard how the Veterans holiday will effect the shipping of this game in the states?

Electroman · Oct 23, 2003

To keep the enthusiasm for SVC for the sake of it is not logical.

To buy SVC items before the release for the same reason is not logical either.

The only thing that warrants a true and authentic enthusiasm for SVC is a love for the game. If you do not love it, the enthusiasm will die. Let it die.

If you love the game, the delay should not kill the enthusiasm.

I never loved the game so...

Things that killed the enthusiasm for me:
The delay, the MVS release being so much cheaper, and the realistic expectations that the sequel may be released in a year or so.

So I suppose really, is there anything unique about SVC to warrant enthusiasm other than loving the game?

NO,.

kernow · Oct 23, 2003

OMG it SOOooo needs a sequel

(so that SNKP can re-use some sprites again, and defer development of another fighter)

Magnaflux · Oct 23, 2003

What with the mvs being a good $125 cheaper than homecart i think the correct choice is clear (that is if the rumors of an mvs release is true).

SonGohan · Oct 23, 2003

I'll just shrug and get the ps2 port.

Average Joe · Oct 23, 2003

You know, I almost forgot all about SvC...

I still want to play it and I'm eager for my cart to arrive, but there's a ton of other games taking up my time at the moment so I don't really care all that much.

meh

Both the s-c store and the neo store are taking preorders for it, I don't think you can call it a "rumor" anymore.

Kid Aphex · Oct 23, 2003

Man, that delay really kicked SvC's ass.
Tell you what though, slags...

I really love SvC.

I know it catches a lot of flak for its lame backgrounds and subpar music...but if you ask me, it's grand. I love the minimalistic backgrounds, and the cheesey music. I love the "dark" feel of the game...the character choice...the bosses...the secret bosses...man I just love it.

And even though my anticipation for the game has been slightly subdued by this KILLER wait for the fucking AES cart, I'm hoping that when I get it, I'll fall in love with it again.

I've purposely stayed away from my arcade with SvC just to try to build up some more of that good old anticipation...hasn't worked much...Plus, after falling in love with the SSho series lately, I've got to say I'm really excited about SSV.

RabbitTroop · Oct 23, 2003

Now that the MVS cart is on the way... I am a little excited. I mean, it's an OK game, and, I hope it won't get shelved to quickly... but... feh... I still haven't decided what to do. Preorder and get a new kit or wait for the used ones to pop up for <$50

I don't see the SVCC KIT dropping too low in price like ROTD.
I believe that this MVS cartridge run is limited and since this the the KIT and not a bare cart,the lowest I can see this game selling for and staying at for quite awhile is 139.99-149.99 as the complete MVS cartridge KIT that is..in north America .
Now the Jamma board??? That's another story..

There's more to why SvC sucks then the music and backgrounds. The character selection, while there are some great characters brough back for this game, is not that great. The priorities are messed up as well.

Robert · Oct 23, 2003

I won't play SvC until january cause I ordered it in France and I live in the USA now so it's not a problem for me

Force · Oct 23, 2003

Meh. I've seen enough mediocre to bad reviews on this game to curb my enthusiasm anyways. My home cart is paid for. WHen it shows up, it shows up I guess...

Shawn · Oct 23, 2003

Concerning the falling price of the MVS version of SVC Chaos, this should have little if any effect on the home cartridge. Notice how new RotD MVS kits are now $35 at full retail, yet the home cart easily sells for its original $325 or higher price.

As usual, the bootlegs have killed the pricing for the MVS market, but MVS boots never seem to affect the home market, because it’s a totally different market. Same principle for emulation, every release is inevitably emulated, but the AES still goes strong.

*find a way to hustle $200 for his mvs copy*
