Are any other 6-player fighting games with teams? If KoF can "own" this model, I can see this or a future KoF being popular with tournament culture for years to come. That may not drive mass market sales, but it's not going to hurt and the niche will prosper.

I always wondered what it'd be like to use 3D models with a. . . "2D frame style" cutting out the inbetweens. Perhaps this is common now, or has been for a long time.

Its pretty simple : Good gameplya, good netcode > good game. The nostalgic effect will be enough to stop the "Ps1 graphic" issue xDDDD

I think he meant that gameplay and netcode lead to a good game.

I'm really late to this news of a new KOF. I saw the trailer last week and... yea, I think my reaction is the same as most others. In fact, I thought Gackt had made another game.

It seems to be playing fine, but that look... Can anybody think of a crappy looking fighter they enjoy? I'm struggling, but I don't play 3D fighters much.

Even with that look, I'm quietly optimistic for this.

Street Fighter EX series. Tekken Tag (Arcade), Rival Schools/Project Justice, MvC2 (backgrounds, music, & sprites look horrific next to backgrounds)

OOOH! Street Fighter EX, well done there. That and its sequels were pretty damn good, but did look arse.

Zero interest. Tekken and VF are the two 3D fighters that were designed from the ground up to be 3D fighters. KOF is a 2D game and was designed to be so.

Maximum Impact proves nothing because it tried to have 3d qualities like Street Fighter EX, Battle Arena Toshinden, or Samurai Shodown Sen. KOF XIV is the 2.5D style that is in 3D, but plays strictly 2D. I'm not saying it will be good, but expecting it to suck because it isn't sprite based is a little silly considering most 2D fighters now no longer use sprites.

I initially wrote off this game but after watching the gameplay from PSX and reading the gameplay notes from some more experienced players I'm beginning to like what I've seen (minus the obviously terrible graphics)

I really hope the leaked roster has some truth behind it and Geese returns as a playable character.

Oh dude, tell me about it. FF7 on PS1 also proves that rpgs will never look good in 3d either.

The King of Fighters XIV at Taipei Game Show

SNK Playmore’s Official KOF Facebook account, KOF World posted that The King of Fighters XIV will have a playable demo at the Taipei Game Show that will be held from January 29 to February 2.

Most likely, the characters at the PlayStation Experience will be playable plus perhaps new characters that may be shown at the next trailer.

Expect a new trailer or two within this month.

I think this game is gonna be great. It has amazing model animation, the fluidness is real cool. I'm curious to see it during further development. Plus, 50 characters? I'll be grabbing it.

That leaked list seems pretty official, but I'm hoping against all common sense that its a troll and the game comes out with American Sports team, Oswald, Silber and Vanessa (Along with Smart Chang and Cool Choi as costume alts).
