Why don't you form some basis for your arguement?
You talk alot but you actually say very little tbh.
i dont really know how much clearer i can be but just for your benefit
the sources of information we have are these:
-the company line (this is the best game ever).
-the haters (me and the other guys at shoryuken.com think this game sucks already).
-low quality video from a version that could be one month old or one year old shown at e3.
-high quality pics in arcadia.
-the grapevine which says major effort on the part of playmore trying to make a major comeback.
"i" am an snk fan from way back who LOVES fighting games and WANTS them to make a mojor comeback, i am however relatively objective so you have an idea of the spin i put on any info that comes to my hands.
so the sitch is i saw arcadia the other day and after all the discussion the videos brought up about sprite reuse around the end of e3 i was sure after seeing the pics in arcadia that what i saw in the mag was a "new" kyo sprite.
i then posted a "new sprites??" thread (the ? marks indicating my own lack of surety beacoz i dont work for playmore and am not particularly good at telling whether sprites have been updated anyways due to the nature of my memory/ability to retain stuff).
as you said someone then posted apparent proof that the sprites are the same by comparative pictures at which point i said "you seem to be right they do seem the same" but put forward the theory that more frames will be used becoz this game is a: newer and therefore prolly more technically advanced and b: has less space dedicated on the cart to chars so it would seem more space could be dedicated to animation, backgrounds etc.
at which point i got a nice blanket statement from rade about how "anyone" who believed these sprites were/are not the exact same ones used in kof is "insane", i wasnt particularly offended, indeed not at all but i just cant help myself and have to argue with ppl who make definitive statements about things i know for fucking sure they dont have all the details on (the newness of sprites and the frame rate of the game, etc)...
call me peverse...
they may indeed be the same sprites i am happy and very willing to say "I DONT KNOW" but i do know this that if the game has a higher frame rate than kof then the recycled sprites will need to have extra frames added will they not??? if my grasp of frame rates and sprites is wrong then someone please correct me...
oh and rikute sorry for the long winded "details" but you did ask
?
