AoF was previously talked about, but I’m glad to see SNK attempting to branch out with SS

 

[city41]

ARPG = action RPG? If so, you have my attention.

 

[HellioN]

Vice & Mature... Not what I expected but not surprised.
Be sweet if special DLC means free.
Really thought we were going to get team Street Fighter to coincide with Terry/Mai in SF6, might still happen I guess.
I actually hope that crossover doesn't happen in COTW.

Glad SamSho isn't going to be a Fighter.
I'd also like for AoF to try something different.

I hope it does happen in CotW. Bring new eyes to Fatal Fury, and let Fatal Fury replace KoF as the flagship SNK property. As it should be.

So they added an art gallery but didn't spend a few hours fixing the broke af engine

I don't see FF taking over KoF but if a cross over on the SNK side is going to happen it's going to be in COTW since it doesn't look like it's going to happen in KoF.
My hope was that after 20+ years we get a FF game that is just FF.
I'd be more open to a crossover in say a COTW 2 or a special.

 

[Fygee]

FF will never take over KOF as the flagship, but it certainly belongs to be in the top franchises. And yes, bring on the guest characters. It can only help the game and the company.

I hope the Sam Sho ARPG being developed is a proper game and not more mobile gacha nonsense.

I'm very curious to see what they do with another AOF. I think they should pull a MOTW/COTW and do a time jump. Bring back some of the classic characters in older forms, and new characters either on their own or as disciples of the old guard. Otherwise, fully embrace that it still takes place in the late 70s/80s before Fatal Fury 1 occurs in 1992, and bring back the whole AOF 2 roster and then some.

I also hope they maintain the gameplay where it's all about meter management and precision strikes instead of combos, chains, and light confirms.

Never say never.

This is probably a hot take, but I'd love an actual 3d fighter take on AoF

Adding an art gallery takes a few hours... fixing that engine would take an eternity (NGBC did its best but it was still kind of a mess). Besides, anyone who actually wants to buy SvC Chaos doesn't want the game fixed... they just want the game, warts and all.

I am NOT one of those people. Look forward to hearing stories of people playing online and getting rofl-stomped by Zeroes and Demitris and immediately quitting. God, that game sucks.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Besides, anyone who actually wants to buy SvC Chaos doesn't want the game fixed...

That's not true. I'd love for it to get fixed. I would buy it in a second if they made a substantial effort of fixing the game's problems.

"There are dozens of us. Dozens!!"

Might I suggest NGBC? No juicy Capcom sprites but it's otherwise just the complete, beta-tested version of SvC.

 

[Neo Alec]

Yeah. I'm sure this release is an emulator with some window dressing. Actually going in and updating the original assembly code beyond some light rom hacking is a whole different ball game.

Actually re-coding the game with the same art, fixing the issues, would've been interesting.

This game is currently enjoying some brief time in the spotlight on my Twitter feed.

Scores, surely.

It's really unfortunate that NGBC got left in the dust. It's the best SNK fighting game of the 2000's if you ask me. Would love to see another one made but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Taiso]

Ryu in CotW would be pretty cool. I wouldn't hate it at all.

AoF should be reimagined as a beat 'em up. The first game's story concept is basically Final Fight as a fighting game, anyway. Unlockable characters and bosses, plenty of Mr. Big's thugs or Geese's corrupt cops to thrash. Hell, combine the first two games into one and just go for it. Even do crossover characters like Terry, Athena, etc.

I'm not sure about doing that as a proper AoF series entry, but I'd definitely be down to play something like that.

We kinda sorta have that with KOF All Stars, but that's handicapped with mobile gacha BS.

Not a huge fan of the game personally but it's got a lot of fun non-standard roster choices and it's worlds better than SvC to play.

I thought and still think it was an extremely daft idea for a game with little in the way of taste. One of those ideas even Capcom fell for and failed to execute properly

Different strokes I guess, but I absolutely loved it. It was a blast to play, the tag mechanics were done well, the gamefeel is amazing and butter smooth, the roster is awesome, the sprite-work is top notch, and the stages are well done.
