King Of Fighters XIV: Speculations, predictions and all that fanboy jazz

[Onyxe Beart]

Seeing a Xuan Dou Zhi Wang character or two in a future KOF game would be nice. Anyways I just really hope we see something from SNK about KOF 14 before the end of this year.

So, it seems that Botan herself has a voice actress.

Maybe that KOF III pachislot from last year was one of the first steps into us seeing anime voice actors used more often in KOF? I can't make out who voiced Botan, but it kinda sounds like Eri Kitamura to me...

I was wondering about the "anime voice actors" mention, since there is no sharp distinction between anime voice actors and videogame voice actors. Usually, the voice actors who work on anime series work on videogames too, and vice versa.

Well, very nice art style, I like it!

Maybe KOF 14 will be in 3D, if you ask me why?! I will answer, as you know the first process of creating a 2D character in the new KOF was by creating his/her model, next step is the animation of their moves and this done by computers graphics, so this means that the animation of all the moves are exist, so they need to create a new beautiful models with high detailed textures and then implement the the old animation which was done in the past ! by this way, they can add tons of characters in a game !

If KOF XIV (and by extension, SS7) will go on this direction... I'm fine by it...

Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Trailer #1

2D-style 3D Models in Unreal Engine...

^please SNK.. please go to that direction.. that new GG look so beautiful.
and please make future KOf less overjuggle like pre-kof13..

[Evil_Yagami]

You see 3D is beautiful, go SNK, and follow GG direction !! wow I was shocked, I thought it 2D

[Yuki Yagami]

With the recent things going on (SNKP job openings and in relation, GGXrd)... I'm beginning to think that KOF XIV might be, or shall I say, WILL BE a new saga...

New Chapter (in KOF), New Beginning (for SNK Playmore)...

coinciding with the Franchise's 20th anniversary

Especially in the "taking the challenge to the next level"...

Wake me up if I see MI2 costume NESTS Kyo fighting XII costume Claw Iori with Flames in a GGXrd-level, (same or better) in terms of quality, Video or something like that...

Realistically, If SNKP brings KOF XIV to the GGXrd Direction, I won't expect much if SNKP will bring KOF XIV in the same level of quality as GGXrd or not, as long as it looks interesting...

The challenge for SNKP on KOF XIV is to attract old time gamers/fans and gain new ones at the same time if SNKP will take XIV to that direction.

You guys don't want them to use XIII sprites for 1 more game with buffed quality? 
Or start over with new?

this is the thing with fans as soon as we see the a game with better graphics is on the works and the will eventually beat the graphics in all ways of our favorite game. it's obviously we would like our favorite game to go the way. but i would like kof to still stick to it's kof 12 graphics.

i  would like snk to stick with it's graphics for kof 14 we still have many characters to see how would they look ike in those graphics...the only problem with snk it's their online play... i think that's the part they need to hire people with experience.

The XII/XIII style is amazing... but with the costs and the time I'm a bit apprehensive with it (seeing how SNK has been hampered with it). But then again, most of the characters have been done and could just use some additional stuff here and there.
