king of fighter XII (vs SF4)

lixxus · 18 Jul 2009 at 16:14

coming out sometime on 28th

want to know peoples opinion of the game.

do you think it will be better than sf4

Margaret · 18 Jul 2009 at 16:27

Seriously doubt it tbh, not only is SF IV excellent but it has a real nostalgia feel to it, I don't think KOF feels the same despite being from the same era.

The net code will be, and for that reason alone I may completely swap over to it.

Is it due out in the UK on the 28th of this month or is that the US only?

Zensuji · 18 Jul 2009 at 18:42

KOF is hand drawn is it not? if so that's a huge plus right there.

Yep, all characters are hand drawn. Makes a change as the sprites never really changed from KOF 94.

Hand drawn sprites can look amazing, or amazingly crap like in SFHDR. KoF is a full retail game so a lot of quality will have gone into the sprites hopefully.

Blazblue also looks really impressive on the 2d sprites and 3d background.

Blazblue looks stunning. It's a great time for fighter fans at the mo.

As you showed me on MSN

Awesome!

Hope they release the Special Edition for Blazblue in Europe, all that extra stuff does look good.

I agree and Blazblue looks awesome...when you buy a game with good hand drawn sprites it feels like you're getting something extra for your cash....Like a good graphic novel of some incredible artwork. Sorry I'm waffle now....bed time for me.

I wouldnt expect anything less from Blazblue, just look how impressive Guilty Gear sprites look, even on the PS1.

I believe that we're getting it a month later, Japan have to wait until then too. Christ knows why the US has ended up with first dibs.

Is there a reason to not get this from USA if you have a PS3 etc? (i.e. are they prmising more content etc for the official EU/Euro versions?)

From wiki it appears the USA and Japan 360 and PS3 versions came out at the end of June.

Dunno about 360 version but I assume PS3 version is just region free like all games?

Nope, import away if you have a PS3

June 2010 is a long way away! :eek:
