The King of Fighters XV confirmed in development
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
Following on from XIV's ending I hope this one brings back a bunch of the characters that were killed off in previous games. Krizalid, Goenitz, Chris, Shermie, Rugal etc fuck it bring them all back
Really hope the graphics are improved from last time. I know the days of 2-D sprites are gone, but I co-sign wishing they could do something similar to what Arcs does and give it that look at least.
What is so great about the art style of SS? I think SNK should go in a completely different direction.
This style is so dated. It goes all the way back to SFIV. A big part of why SFXTK failed was due to its recycled art style.
First of the art style is SamSho's, the SSV/SSVSP art pre-dates SFIV by quite a few years.
And second SS is already a success and often gets praised for its visuals/art, so yeah.
Legacy is great in all if you want to be what you were. Which is fourth place in a crowded genre. I just want SNK to reach for better.
I have high hopes for this game.
Honestly, SNK has been exhibiting a level of consistency and quality. KOF XIV was already a solid start. SamSho looking good.
If they keep following this pattern, I'm sure KOF XV will be a complete package with looks and gameplay.

Not sure what the problem is?
SS is a success and we are getting KOFXV and a new Metal Slug next year and 2 new games every year after that.
SNK's future hasn't looked this rosy in a really damn long time.
I can't imagine they would go back to pixel art, but I feel rather confident that they're very conscious of how the visual style of 14 was received. That in addition to how good looking Samurai Showdown looks gives me a lot of hope for this titled visual style.
Oh they are very much conscious of it.
SNK's chairman said that the game was very successful for them but pretty much threw the game under the bus when it came to visuals and said that KOFXV will look much better.
I'd love that too but it's extremely unlikely. I hope graphics are much better than XIV though
I'm saying reaching for outdated graphics tech is a mistake. I have nothing but respect for SNK and what they've been able to accomplish after the bankruptcy. People asking for a game to look like SFIV is just foolish.
Okay I guess you don't know what old SamSho art looks like.
What they did with SS is the equivalent of KOFXV looking like Shinkiro/Hiraoki's art.
KOF14 is great. I REALLY hope they bring back Kasumi and especially Xiangfei
Could never truly get in to 14 becasue my two mains were missing If they return for 15 im all in

Nice.
Hopefully they made the move to UE4 instead of using an internal engine. The animation in KOF14 is pretty nice so they just need upgrade...everything else.
How do you know?

New game is on unreal engine. The problem with KoF14 and IIRC something the new CEO even talked about was that if he could have moved that game to a better engine when he came aboard to help smoothen the process of development he would have, but the game was too far into development at the time. Everything they make is going to be on UE4 and everything they make is planned for multiplatform. That is their goal.
SNK has a lot of money these days, they poached a lot of good talent too.
I know because, well, cause I know, lol
Well okay then. :P Are they doing everything internally or outsourcing a lot like SFV?
I really doubt a game with a roster as large as typical KOF games will also boast that kind of visual fidelity, but KOFXV will definitely look as good as SamSho
but you're the gamedev here, maybe you know a little more than me

KOFXIII is the worst looking KOF game by a large margin btw
now that is a take lol. No modern SNK game comes close to XIII in visuals IMO. Old SNK is in their own league, of course.
So sad that they ain't ever going back to those delicious 2D HD sprites from XIII. That game looks amazing. Oh well... at least i can always go back to XIII on PC.
Lmao

That's a typo, right? XD
KoFXIII and XII are the best the series ever looked, that's kind of a fact.
the only knocks on XIII that I can see are minor choices like exaggerated proportions, no eyes, bell bottoms, seeming lack of alpha channels on effects, but overall it has its own style and it makes a much greater artistic statement than the highly generic looking XIV.
XII looks terrible with those big ass sprites with zoom ins. XIII looks amazing but some changes for some characters designs were bad.
