LOL! It took me a good minute to see it! I thought "why is this guy posting cover art of Tekken 2?"
It's crazy how we though the old pre rendered cg cut scenes and cover art from years ago was mind blowing. Now, in game graphics at 60fps and 4k resolutions blow that stuff away. (except for in the case of KOFXIV it seems, lulz)

That one actually made me laugh... and today has been a rough day.
I've always liked Geese. It would be nice to see him again. Though game wise I'll reserve judgement until release. It could go either way for me at this point.

definitely,kof 14 is destined to walk in street fighter v's shadow.but hopefully fans would like them both.

You're not alone, I spent more hours on KOF XIII than SF IV. Both great games though, so I'm hoping for the best with both KOF 14 & SF V.

Video footage looks pretty good, gameplay appears smooth. I'm interested in the soundtrack they have planned. A quality remix of classic tracks would bring back the nostalgia.

Excellent link! The most interesting parts for me:
"– All 50 characters will be playable at launch/release. Roster is already solid.
– Online will feature a 3on3 mode where 6 players each control a character when it’s their turn. Same characters will be allowed (at current planning stage)
– Fighting game aspect for both offline and online are priority, but single player/story mode experience will also be given focus
- The dev team is a mix of seasoned and new staff. "
That means they're not going the free 2 play route where you have to purchase additional characters to have the regular complete game. The 6 player mode sounds great, hope they have that option for local multiplayer, would make it the party game of choice. Story mode is priority for me, have always enjoyed going through fighting games to see the character endings. Old staff means this reestablished SNK is taking this KOF release very seriously. Combined with the PlayStation Experience presentation and Humble Bundle, it looks like a genuine resurgence to SNK's IP is happening.

– Game is returning to its roots in terms of graphics with “sharp looks on the characters”
Since when were PS1 renders KOF's roots when it comes to graphics?
I'm most definitely all for replicating the look and feel of the older sprites pre-KOF XII/XIII (which is exactly what they meant), but that's no reason to sacrifice quality on 3D models, especially if they're thinking they're going to compete with GG Xrd and SF5.
At any rate, reading the whole interview gives me some hope. To my surprise there's more of the original ex-SNK R&D1 staff than any of us would have thought.

A company, renowned for their sprite work, tries a 3d game...again.
The people that are returning from 'the old days' worked on SPRITE based games. Why anyone thinks their skill set and 'touch' will make any sort of positive impact on this game-is beyond me.
I'm as hype for this, as I would be if ex-toaplan staff came back to compile-heart, to make a 1st person shooter.
Read: not at all.
These models, at 70 percent are SHIT.
I think SFIV looks like Crank Yanker puppets.
I played V, and wished I'd spent the time playing RB2 or Asura Buster.
This generation of gaming has never resonated with me. I was holding out hope, that XIV would be sprites, pixel skinned wireframes(like XIII), or marionette pieces like Rumble Fish 2.
I'm going to go back to shouting at clouds now, lol.

Read the interview posted on the MMCafe link above. It states that some/most of the ex-SNK staff that returned had been working on 3D projects for a while since then, including Oda. They weren't still SNKP sprite monkeys and had moved on long ago since SNK imploded.
Consider that the amount of time and money that it took to make the sprites for KOF XII/XIII took upwards of six years to achieve the roster it had vs the two or so years KOF XIV has had for development time.
