King of Fighters 2004?

[Swithin]

I just want to make sure. I find it odd I haven't seen anyone else ask, really... it's getting to the end of October, and I haven't heard word one about KoF2k4.

 

So far in 2004, we've had: KoF NW, KoF MI, KoF 94 ReBout, King of Fighters for cell-phones... but I haven't heard *anything* about KoF2k4. Anyone have any clue when we'll start hearing info about this? I mean, they can't push back release to 12/31 and call it KoF 2004 - first off, no-one will be playing it in 2004 if it doesn't come out soon!

 

Thoughts? News? Anything?

kof2k3 didn't appear till late 2003 either. but doesn't matter, it's going to suck anyway. SNK's burning themselves out with way too many projects this year (

samsho5sp, kof:neowave, kof:mi, kof94:rebout, nbc etc)

[L.S.D]

KOF2K4 will come out on 2005. KOF2005 will come out in 2005 too.

Go figure.

No, KoF2k3 was in arcades in December, IIRC, but I'm not sure of it's general availability at the time. I remember that they did make a point to have it in arcades in 2003 though, although they only beat the deadline by 12 days or something.

I hope it's way better than 2k3 bcuz 2k3 really sucked; graphx sucked, sound sucked, gameplay sucked, controls sucked, ergo it sucked (no may lee I might add)

Wow. That was pretty rough. If nothing else, the controls were fine IMO.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

well, it is well deserved; the controls sucked bcuz they changed the motion of all down-forward-down-back/down-back-down-forward moves to down-forward-forward-down-forward/down-back-back-down-forward... that's what hellasucked;

I don't get why the flock they complicate the motions so hard

me who always hated double-halfcircle-forward/back now think

this is way suckier, I mean sure it's easy on a stick but when u try to play on a keyboard/gamepad that really sucks

also the teammate change system is hellacrappy, I would have put in just 2 buttons then a small menu would appear where u choose which char to bring in...

[Agozer]

Sure, pulling off half-circle motions on a keyboard is a biatch, but then again, I can pull those off fine on a gamepad. Fighting games shouldn't be played with a keyboard in the first place.

[Sybarite Paladin AxL]

not true; Am I the only one who prefers keyboards over those sucky gamepades and crappy sticks?! I can't understand how ppl can play with those! I mean I've played with sticks(they suck) and I've played with pads(they suck)

and then I've played with a keyboard and it's hella better!!

I can pull of double half-circles with no difficulty what-so-ever

but these new motions I have yet to master...

Well... I'm sure some people prefer the keyboard, but personally, I just can't understand the fighting game + keyboard combo.
