KOF XII music downloads on XBL

Akira_Tekagi · Nov 28, 2009

I bought the classic music pack yesterday. It costed 160 MS points and it included some great classic KoF tracks. The pack has 10 tracks (one for each of the game's six stages and the rest for character select screen, loading screen etc.) and it's named "another" in the music option menu.

I'm not an expert on Neo Geo music, so correct me if I'm wrong. Here are the tracks that I've been able to recognize :
- The character select screen music is from KoF '95
- Esaka (Dome day)
- Billy Kane's theme (Russia, very similar to his original '98 theme)
- Ikari team's theme (France, probably '96 version)
- Rugal's theme (Dome night, similar to his '98 theme, this makes me wish he would have been in the game :oh_no:

)

Are they arranged or old-school Neo synth style?

They're arranged, but faithful to their original Neo Geo versions. You can recognize your favourite songs immediately. Billy Kane's theme sounds almost exactly like his '98 theme with the periodic singing.

I played the game again last night and noticed that the versus victory screen music is the victory screen music from KoF '96. The China stage's music sounded very familiar, but I can't remember which team's theme it is.

I still cannot believe that SNKP has the balls to not only charge for this DLC, but charge $5 a fucking pack. $5 for all of the packs together would still be too much.

5 a pack is ridiculous.

Lyte Edge · Nov 30, 2009

The sad thing is that all this crap is going to happen again with SS Edge Of Destiny. Don't give in this time, guys.

Yeah, I feel the same. I am not buying anything from this company till they acknowledge KOF XII or release something that is TRULY good.

I just like to pretend that all they released this year was KOF '98 UM XBLA and KOF 2002 UM PS2/arcade. 2002 UM has, incidentally, taken a spot and is holding at #10 on Arcadia's top 10 coin-ops list.

As good as they are, they're still just more remakes. Yippee, more of the same.... way to go SNKP.

XII is a flop, but at what point did we go from XII being a decent fighter with crappy online and few modes to just being bad in every respect?

Truth on both points.

I love me some KOF XII but SuckP can eat a fucking dick until they produce something extraordinary or fix XII...no more of this witch touching/endless port compilation/OMG Metal Slug horseshit. That's with the company though and not the individual game, which while flawed is highly enjoyable and deep.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ignition just dropped them entirely.

We went there because the game was good as patches were COMING. Now they are here and they suck hard. Its defeated optimism and now the game sucks because its worthless to most americans.

I know that online is expected for today's games, but you can't say it's worthless. By that logic my Neo is worthless because it can't go online.

You've said before that the game itself is good. You're just exaggerating to further your tired crusade.

At first i didn't care about the online cuz it seemed so hard to do properly. Shit programming anything seems hard to me. Tekken 6 came out and had shitty online then just this past thursday they released a patch that pretty much made the whole tekken scene say "how the fuck" and clamored to get online.

I played against my brother all the fuckin way in Northern bumfuck Japan and it had minimal lag. A game like Tekken 6 with really intense and complex 3d graphics can be played with minimal lag between 2 people, 1 in Asia and 1 in north America. I said to myself, "SNKP WTF is your problem".

Now they wanna release expensive ass music for a half ass game with boring ass music to begin with?

LOL not me SNKP, not this time.

The more and more I think about it I really feel cheated out of my 60 bux when i payed for KOFXII. I paid 60 bucks for Tekken 6, and it has like 40 characters, CG intros/endings, a beat em up story mode, character customizations out the wazoo and now it has damn good online. SNKP has lost their damn mind.

Let me get this straight.

I paid sixty dollars for this game. Sixty fucking dollars. I knew damn well what I was getting myself into - that there was practically no single player game, which I'm okay with. I made my peace with the character roster, knowing that it took time to redraw all these characters and certain favorites were omitted. When it came down to it I thought the game was fun against people, which is all that truly matters with a fighting game. I bought it in the hopes that the online would be enjoyable enough - all that talk about them working on new netcode for the game got me excited and I bought into the hype.

Of course, they did not deliver. Netcode was atrocious, downright embarassing. They mention a netcode patch, and it takes months to get it out on the 360. Long after everyone's forgotten about the game, the patch finally hits. I got excited and held on to that last sliver of hope that this magical patch would make the online play good. Naturally I got on and looked for someone to play, and online was of course a barren wasteland - who in their right mind would still be playing this online, except for those people that care way too much about online leaderboards? When I found someone to play it was a red 1-bar connection, and still laggy as hell.

I didn't want to give up just yet. The next day I informed a friend who also got suckered into buying the game that the netcode was patched. Said friend lives approximately 5 miles away. Surely two people in the same city could have an enjoyable online experience. Imagine my surprise when I saw that he was a yellow 2-bar connection - can't even get a blue connection to someone who lives 5 miles away (yes, we have ports open and all that junk, no neither of us have shitty internet). We play a few games, and it felt like a 2-bar connection on SF4 - VERY noticeable lag that makes you play the game in a completely different way that was intended. What a fucking joke. Haven't bothered playing it online since.

The game is dead. It's dead in America, dead in Asia, dead in Europe, dead whereever you live. MAYBE you'll be able to find a couple KOF fans to play with locally, otherwise you have a $60 training mode game. When it comes down to it, this game has no future.

So the game is dead, and pretty much everyone has moved on, and now all of a sudden they're selling music packs for the game?

What.
The.
Fuck?

WHY? Why on Earth would I want to spend $4 to download new music for a game NOBODY is playing? I already got ripped off buying the game in the first place, and now they're making one last cash grab... considering the game came with very little (and completely unremarkable) music, wouldn't it have been better to include all this stuff with the game in the first place just as a little extra? Instead they want me to pay money to add music for a game nobody is playing, when I could do the same exact thing for free with custom soundtracks if I actually had any reason to play the game now.

Suck my dick, SNKP.

This needs to be sent to SNKPlaymore with a big box of poo. I think that would make everyone's day.

Tekken is boring though. I think the people who really like it are button-mashers. You notice how mainstream it is. Girlfriends like it. People who play it every day and hustle at the arcade are just former button-mashers who just took their mashing to the next level by learning the moves.

Taiso · Dec 1, 2009

Whereas KOF XII is boring because it doesn't have 1P modes or 1P playability, no local scene and unworthy online. It's boring because it sits on my shelf unplayed because the state of its release (SNK-P's fault on the developer end) combined with the state of the franchise's appeal (SNK-P's fault on the marketing end) have made it unplayable.

Regardless of what people may think of Tekken 6, it's a complete fucking game and a professionally released product that has been profesionally supported on the developer/manufacturer end. It is so because Namco Bandai is a professional company. We can argue whether Tekken 6 is good or not but at least the argument can be fairly made based on the fact that it's a FINISHED PRODUCT.

So far, I haven't seen a SINGLE KOF XII apologist post a compelling argument for the game's worth.

The game is more fun to play than Tekken 6. Most members of this community would agree with that statement, whether they post here or not.

Taiso · Dec 1, 2009

It's not more fun to play if you can't play it against anyone else due to a dead local, shitty online, shitty AI and shitty 1P content.

The game is garbage because tight gameplay without the ability to enjoy it is worthless and hence, no fun.

I m sorry if i periodically pop up, but you say that you never read good arguments over KOF XII when actually i spoke a lot about it , mostly about gameplay too .

When Neo alec tells you that KOF XII is fun to play you start to mix YOUR reality with the game qualities.

You play alone , game sucks. No , it should be , you play alone , you make the game less fun for yourself

That's not the game s fault ( game as in gameplay ) .
You can say no online , that still is not the game's fault, that s a netcode issue. The game in itself ( press start , choose team , beat up your opponent ) , works much better than any other first iteration in the series (94,96,99,2003) and shows that there s potential in there.

I understand what your complaints are, and i am not saying they're useless or shouldn't be taken care of in the next iteration , i am just saying , if we re talking game we talk about it , if we re talking whats around the game then we talk about those.

But if we continue mixing up two unrelated things ( because they are unrelated ) we ll never understand each other.
I will say it again, in YOUR reality, you don't have a local group to play with and online sucks , so the game has less value as a whole , but the game in itself remains the same good game it is.
I understand you re angry, but you should focus your hate/ bashing on the things that really are killing the game for you, not the game in itself .

This is a hysterical response, and one I was wondering when it would come up.

SNK-P devalues the franchise through a series of mishaps, marketing blunders and flat out idiocy. SNK-P ruined KOF by killing all the interest in it over the years and then, to put the icing on top of the cake, they release a flawed and unprofessional product like KOF XII, a game so unsuited to today's gaming market, that it couldn't possibly get anyone to give a shit about it except for the sycophants.

And then you have the gall to suggest it's my own fault that the game's not enjoyable because I'm making it so?

Dude, get a clue. KOF XII is shit, and not just because I'm ruining the experience for myself. What delusions.

Even SNK knows they fucked up. It's all about 2002 UM now.

No it's not. Tekken 6 is not only a complete game, but it's balanced and if we're talking home versions, got patched to have GREAT online play, unlike the trainwreck known as KOF XII. It's a strange world when I find myself enjoying Tekken more than KOF, but after XII, that's exactly what has happened.

The "button masher" argument is ridiculous. People mash in every game.

Ridiculous? People button mash in every game, but Tekken is extremely welcoming to button-mashers. You can make a lot of shit come out just from shaking the joystick. Look at the type of players it attracts; it's not hard to see that.

Now KOF XII is unbalanced? I can see a few issues here and there with a character or two, like how Joe is too easy to play, but you're kind of alone on that statement. I haven't been hearing much of that. This has always been the problem with this community when it comes to arguing about the quality of fighters -- for every person that says a game is excellent there are another two who say it's complete shit.

LWK · Dec 1, 2009

Tekken 6 is way better then KOF XII. Yes, I am saying this, and I'm not really a Tekken fan, but I dig 6. Its solid.

I got 6 and I'm bored. I wish I hadn't bought it. I played it against a girl who was really into it for two days straight, and I was just like, "Turn it off."
