Re: NEW THE KING OF FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!
Story mode trailer + the promise of an upcoming 7 character demo on PSN:

Final boss, Antonov, teaser. Looks like a the usual steroid-obsessed f*** you boss...

Judging by the end of the story mode trailer with all the mystical/evil energy swirling around, I don't doubt that there will be a second form to Antonov or a follow-up boss from hell in the usual SNK fashion.

Re: NEW THE KING OF FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to play the demo. I think the story has some kind of Orochi influence in it - Antanov is trying to do something to harness? his power? I forget, I'm more interested in seeing Terry and co fight the South Town team to reignite the rivalry with Geese!Megamixer wrote:Story mode trailer + the promise of an upcoming 7 character demo on PSN:

Yeah I posted it on the previous page. The are apparently also meant to be reviving the "Future is Now" sloganDPrinny wrote:Erm

The trailer makes mention of Antanov claiming to be the original KOF champion. If this is true then I suppose it would go all the way back to before the events of the earlier games where the Orochi power was very much a big part of the storyline.

Demo is up now for those interested. Training and Vs mode is where I've spent most of my time. I like it very much, characters, while not looking as nice as their sprite counterparts do still look very clean and well animated, and the gameplay seems very good from what I played so far (classic KOF). Very excited to play more, as I'm liking some of the new characters - Nelson seems very interesting so far, a nice cool boxer that doesn't really have any special moves, just a whole heap of interesting chain attacks.

I like what I've played so far, Ive not been keeping up with the development but the change to 3d models seems fine and it runs silky smooth.ShadowMan wrote:Demo is up now for those interested.

Not tried any of the new characters yet as Kyo and Iori are 2 of my 3 mains so have just been messing with them. I'm glad Iori has his flames back!
Re: NEW THE KING OF FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the character models have come a long way from the original (terrible) reveal trailer. Some looked a bit crap in the story cutscenes in the trailers (worse than actual in-game models?!?) but otherwise, what I've seen so far has crushed my initial scepticism.

Re: NEW THE KING OF FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to buy it to be honest! Been watching the pennies these last few months and just haven't bought any games at all even though I can afford to. Will have to grab this to support the game and SNK!

It's a shame if it is selling poorly, as I'm quite fond of it - I gave it 8/10 in issue 159.

Remembered I had a fair bit of Amazon credit left on my account so I used it to part fund the KOF XIV day one edition (not really bothered about this edition tbh but it was no more expensive than a regular PS4 release) and Mortal Kombat XL which I'd also forgotten to pick up.
