For those unaware, here's the latest news on the next KOF installment: http://www.fightersgeneration.com/screen...easer3.htm
It appears that SNK has been "hiding" in the smartphone game and pachinko market...But now they're making a pretty big comeback with a new KOF game.
What do you all think so far? I can tell that the graphics have a long way to go right now. I can't say I'm a big fan of 3D fighters (except for Soul Calibur), especially if the graphics are really dark with unbalanced colors (Soul Calibur is pretty clever with it, and the unique gameplay makes up for any visual flaws, IMO). I do realize that this is basically a 2.5D fighter like Street Fighter IV, so it looks pretty promising to me so far.
I've played nearly every 2D KOF, and I have to admit the graphics for those games are very well-balanced - it gives the feeling of a grungy street fighting movie and a silly action anime. I'm not sure that longtime fans will much appreciate this change in graphic style.
So yeah...My main gripe would be the graphics - I imagine they're not changing the gameplay very much from previous installments.
