A little slow on the pickup eh?

Please, parents -- teach your kids to read.

ummmmm . . . KOF: CVS without the C?

Bishamon · Feb 28, 2004

Well, it's a little early to say much one way or the other (since all we have are some fuzze scans from a magazine), but I have high hopes.

I'm more interested in what SNK will do with KOF 2K4.

I didn't hear that the defense system was like garou....

cool...

anything like garou, I'm for!

winter · Feb 28, 2004

I am underwhelmed. :crying:

Mike Shagohod · Feb 28, 2004

I won't totally POO POO it until I've played it, but at this point I'm still in the jaded stage of SNKP leaving the NEO. I'm sure it'll pass and if the AW system proves to be worth a damn, then I'll have an AW devoted cab to play AW games SNKP related or not in the future. For now though... Meh!

That's when I was thinking...

SNKJorge · Feb 29, 2004

They should change the name to something else.

KOF=SNK=Neo•Geo

All I can say right now it Atomiswave and SNKP is gonna have to earn my love. **snapps fingers in a z-motion**

Lupin · Mar 1, 2004

I'm really looking foward to it.

I think it's just the tip of the iceberg, to tide us over until the real deal, KoF 2004.

Magnaflux · Mar 1, 2004

rawk out with your cawk out.

I'll have to see it first, however I'm excited.

Reality Check · Mar 1, 2004

SNKP moved to Atomiswave just to make that? They might as well stick with the Neo*Geo hardware.

Actually, no. This is the KOF game that Sammy is working on. SNKP is working on KOF 2K4.

I hope so because having the same sprites really sucks.

From what I had understood from all the news that read, kof 2004 was the tentative title, but it was changed to kof neowave.

Kusanagi2004 · Mar 4, 2004

I can understand some of the skepticism about this new title being on new hardware with rehashed sprites, but I'm sure it will be an excellent game in the end. It's way too early to tell exactly how the game will pan out. From the few screenshots I've seen, it already looks to be a great game. My opinion may be a bit SNKP biased, however, as they've yet to extremely disappoint me with any KOF release so far. If the sprites look a bit old, at least the power bars, menus, and other effects will be enhanced. You can almost look at it as an Atomisware tryout game. Either way, I'll be spending quite a few quarters as soon as it hits my local area.

GunstarHero · Mar 4, 2004

I don't understand the point of this game. It gets a ...meh from me.

LWK · Mar 4, 2004

This game was spelunked into existence.

BIG BEAR · Mar 4, 2004

Hold up...tired ass rehashed sprites?garou gameplay?
so far the only thing AW is providing is 3D backgrounds and possibly a large roster.... :spock:

the larger the roster,the harder it will be to balance play..

Yeah, but they only made more than a half-hearted attempt at really balanced line up about twice anyway, so I'll take the large line up. Having a much larger roster (if that's what happens), with the gameplay style options that would open, will lead to a kind of pseudo-balance itself. I'm keeping my expectations low, but...
