We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
SNK might as well drop the trailer tbh. It's hard for me to blame for the delay when we don't know why it happened, but if the delay was due to some reason that wasn't Covid or health and safety related then they fucked up tbh
Shun'ei, introduced last game (XIV). He has a freaking air dash which is odd for a KoF game.
Lol bit harsh when it could have been for perfectly legitimate reasons. They didn't do it just to fuck with fans.
Shun'ei. New main character of the current arc that started with XIV which he debuted in.
Shun'ei, the new protagonist from KOF current arc, famous from his terrible design
Shun'ei, the protagonist of the new arc, though XIV barely had any story, but this time he should feel more like a protagonist according to the developers iirc.
Thanks all, was super curious as I hadn't heard seen them until yesterday.
These models look meh to me. Lighting or shading or whatever, look way better.
Need to see in motion.

Yeah slapping the same generic doll face from every DOA character with Mai's clothes makes it a better looking Mai.
I dig. And especially if they're gonna have alternate costumes (some of which hopefully will be included out the box), that makes 15's aesthetic both better looking and ideally, something much more sustainable.
I'm not sure if that's really high praise, considering DOA's take on the SNK girls just make them look like the other DOA girls. Doll-look, and all.

The game looks good but people really have to temper their expectations for the models/graphics. The amount of characters in this game outdoes all other fighting games if you place them on the same timeline. If they're reusing KOFXIV assets they still have a leg up, but having this big of a roster in the second revision of a reset is pretty impressive nowadays.
So
- Overall quality of 3d models, lightning etc..
- Animations
- Direction of camera cuts
- Special Effects
These are what define whether a game looks great or not, I think those screenshots (Mai side) show a decent base. If the rest is good (and it was actually solid in Samsho) it should be sick.
Mai's body, wait to see in motion cause even MK11 a super polished game has a lot of jank during intros if you freeze frame them.
Her face suffers the same issue every female character suffers from in 3D SNK game, and it's surprising because they fixed Kyo's face that had similar issue.
Maybe we can bring attention to her design and they can fix her face.

The story did what it needed it set up the new plot and cleaned a lot of things for the last 13 games (and revived Orochi team)
It really doesn't look very good to me, feels like what 14 should have looked like last gen not what 15 should be as a next-gen game where they rebuild things from the ground up. Was really hoping they would try to go back to their classic style instead of continuing the 14 style. Shun Ei's design really stands out as overdone in that screenshot too, if he just rolled down the pant leg and removed the bandages he'd look so much better
Hoping that it looks better in motion from the side-view

Eh It's marginally better but still unimpressive. Will save my full mehs for reveal. I think arc system has just ruined me as far as fighter graphics go.
Yeah, a DOA Mai cosplay model looks better, that's what's disappointing.
Which isn't surprising. DOA roster is a fraction of KOF's as well KOF is a 3v3 fighter.
People expecting a KoF roster with crazy detailed models or Arc System graphics are hyping themselves up for disappointment. Maybe a couple revisions down the line but this is a great start.
Maybe the guy who did the spanish press release didn't realize that he included KOF XV screenshots? At least the journalist who copy pasted the press release wasn't aware that he was posting KOF XV pictures
I'm glad it doesn't have the SamSho look but really not sure what to expect as far as distinctive art design in a 3d fighter is today. You either look like Xrd or you look like everything else, with varying degrees of flair. Kyo at least is a huge improvement. Mai notsomuch, but not horrible either.
E: Benimaru looking good!
