So it has finally been announced with a trailer and webpage.

If this doesn't revive the forum, nothing will.

That aside…

Is Kyo wearing his NESTS outfit again? I can't be sure.

I wonder if we'll finally get closure on the whole "Dragon's Spirit" thing, or if this will be be forgotten forever.

First I wanna say I'm soooooo glad we are getting a new Kof I have been waiting for a brand new one for a loooooong time.

Second the game is getting bashed for being a 3D and no 2 D. It's time to move on and give it a chance. I have been playing kof since fatal fury king of fighters and I was hoping for something completely new and here we have it.I am extremely pleased with these changes.

Graphically looks good IMHO. the approach to a more realistic character design appeals to me as I wished for this game to have a full 're designed. I am please.

This trailer we just got must be a very early stage of the game as kyos face looks a incompleted.

As we know this Chinese company who bought snk p the other day seems to be keen getting the game out ASAP. God knows how finished this game is.

My only concerned is the fighting style. I won't be too happy with a SF or GG playing style . The beauty of this game is the speed of it.

Fingers cross and hope for more info to come out soon.

Hopefully, it improves in the further in the near future. Majority of the non-Japanese fans are ranting like rabid beasts because of its graphics. They get a flak because of this.

If not, all hell breaks loose.

Maybe in the near future. I can see people acting like rabid beasts talking about XIV's netcode.

For my first impression after seeing the trailer, I was surprised, excited and annoyed in that order. First surprised because its kof xiv, excited because.....its kof xiv, than annoyed because....its kof xiv 3D. I think the main problem with kof coming out like this is that GG Xrd and sfV has set fairly high bar with 3d models and gameplay while still being 2d style (2.5d?).

I've read everywhere how everyone has targeted its graphics and how "ps2-esque" it is, and I'm not disagreeing, it does look like that. The trailer states that it's ingame gameplay in development but nothing looked like its was from an actual fight. As if the camera is going to be moving and up close like that?! At the end of the trailer, I'd didnt take anything from it besides
- kyo and iori obviously confirm, and in either brand new (iori) or slightly different (kyo) attire
- moved away from 2d sprites like kof xiii and xii and back into 3d models like MI series.
- Possibly have leona and terry already confirmed (from previous kof adverts for job hire)
- its possibly at least 3 months or slightly more than a year before we see the game (release sometime in 2016)

After the trailer, when I saw an image of kyo doing a and iori doing an fb and looking at that, it makes me think its still 2d. But then when i replayed the trailer, it looks round and I'm hoping its not a game where you can move in 3d space like MI which would suck.

Obviously the good thing about 3d models is how easy it would be to customise them and change anything, where sprites you couldnt do that.

I'm leaving full judgement of the game until i see proper ingame play and mechanics, but until then, I'm going to remain optimistic about it.

Im assuming the below kof was done after the new takeover of snkp?

The King of Fighters 98 Online

I so want that lot for mobile phones!!! Lol looks cute

In any event the only characters I ask for in this new kof are:

Mature
Vice
Chizuru
Blue Mary
Dou lon
Lin

Well, Terry, that was from the Fatal Fury Pachislot back then. (but still, Terry, like Ryo or Athena, is a lock in XIV)

AFAIK, only 3 are confirmed so far in KOF XIV. (Kyo, Iori and Leona)

I'm surprised that professor from mad's hasn't said much about this. He is usually the one with first hand info.

I'm surprised too about Prof. Maybe he will come out soon with more info than what we have now.

Can this thread be moved to...

KOF XIV will be one of them... I hope they improve the graphics and models this time. I hope they read the negative feedback of "that trailer" spread around the internet and recover.

...If not, I'll be honored to give them a middle finger (figuratively) for the first time out of anger, frustration, disgust and disappointment... if the game is still similar to "that trailer".

I hope, roster wise, it won't be a mess like KOF XII. Perhaps we might even have still shots (I hope they improve the graphics and models, God willing), gameplay and characters (other than Kyo, Iori and Leona)

A surprise is coming I can feel it.

Yeah, lets all hope!

Cautious optimism.
