xth for KoF XIV being a genuinely fun fighting game and being more accessible to newcomers (like me)

OP pic reminded me to play Athena. What am I in for?

Maybe it's just me, but the classic model's quality doesn't look as good.

>>161223148
Maybe it's because the classic designs in general are more simple? I don't know, I know jack shit when it comes to 3D models.

KoF XIV got nominated for fighting game of the year.

http://thegameawards.com/nominees/

Who is stronger Ryo or Ramon? They're both mentioned to be crazy strong.

>>161229502
Nice. I think Kof have a good chance to win, even without the "ultra top graphics". Because:

>Killer Instinct Season 3
"Season" or "super" should not count in my opinion but KI Season 3 is shit anyway.
>Pokken Tournament
lol
>Street Fighter V
Anyone who follow SFV news, excluding stupid fanboys, will agree that this do not deserve win. Serious, if SFV wins you can throw any game awards into the trash.

So, Kof still the best choice.

>>161232829
Who knows man, casual audiences value graphics more and dedicated players. I think I heard the place where they're hosting them is owned by microsoft, don't know if that'll have any sort of effect. It's all up to some judges though. While I do agree with you I have my doubts it will play out like that since KoF isn't as well know or E-sports enough.

Nah. I'm sure Capcuks will still say shit like "Now it looks like a PS3 game kek"

>>161284225
Nope. It still looks bad, but it's way better than before.

I didn't know games could do shit like this, then again I'm pretty tech retarded besides using a computer for a few simple things and porn. What a time to be alive. This really shows that SNK really does want to flourish and give people good things.

>>161285664
Some of it looks like new textures which might be a lot of work but is definitely doable. If they're changing lighting or something that does sound pretty crazy but damn that looks way different.

>>161285854
I wonder if they've been working on this patch ever since the game got released. The texturework, shaders/lighting look completely different on Kyo after the patch. If they're doing it for every single character in the game, that is a lot of work in such a short amount of time.

>>161285854
the lighting is clearly different in the sense that now it actually exists

really happy with this, props to snk

I sure they will. The tweet by SNK said that it'll be playable at PSX, but I wonder when it will be released. Either way it's a nice improvement. I guess building their own engine and shit was the right choice for them. I wonder what future stuff from them will be like.

>>161288641
Pretty soon, hopefully, if it's playable at PSX they should be finishing up the patch.

Makes you think

>>161271461
XIII isn't so much complicated as it just had too much in the way of long ass anime combos. That's not complexity, that's just added tediousness. But if you want hard as balls combos, try 2k2 max mode combos. 99% of the time you won't even be able to execute them.

>>161282729
Holy shit. SNK is on fire.

>>161293524
Atma is a shit anime fg player, and if even Max is playing it still amazingly enough >>161293906

Then it's not the game that's the problem.

>>161294949
yep. i got used to the graphics, but now that the new update apparently put in lighting/shaders that actually exist, this is turning out better than expected. the core gameplay is great enough, it just lacks the other graphical touches of other fighting games.

Special intros aren't anything new in the world of fighting games, but damn I love the ones in KOF XIV. Meitenkun v. Vice is great.

>>161295679
I'd love to see different win poses back as well.

>>161296673
You have two per at least a few characters, like Benimaru at the very least.

>>161296783
From what I've seen the poses use the same animation, is only the dialogue what it changes. Or at least that is the case with Team Mexico

>>161296910
Yeah, the poses stay the same, but the dialogue is different depending on who you fight.

>>161296910
Nah, Beni actually has two different animations, one is his SANK YUU sign win pose, and the other is the one you'll typically see that I can't remember. He's not the only one, it's just that the chance of seeing one over the other is very low for some reason, so you'll rarely see his THANK YOU sign.

And before you wonder if this is really a winpose, yes it is, I verified myself.

Then again, I'm wondering if you're actually referring to victory animations or the victory screen animation itself.

File: SEE YOU NEXT TIME.png (138KB, 267x292px) Image search: [Google]

138KB, 267x292px

>>161297197
And here is his other one that you usually see.

>>161297197
I'm talking about victory animations. And I've fought a fair share of Benis on ranked and I haven't seen the Thank You pose yet.

>>161298197
As I said, somehow the win pose right there is rare. You need to make a distinction on what you mean by victory animation, because if you mean the one over the white background with all the stats and stuff, then I just call it a victory screen animation. It's not like you should have expected more than one there, it's a step up from just a still portrait that previous KOF games have usually displayed. Otherwise, the thing *I* was talking about, I know Beni is just one out of at least a few characters who have more than one IN-GAME, POST-ROUND-END win pose. You'll rarely ever see the THANK YOU sign, but it's there, trust me.

>>161297197
The second rare ones only pop up when you win 2 rounds with said character

>>161298905
Thanks for the info. Wasn't sure of the trigger and thought it was just random with incredibly low rate.

it's not the most popular, but the characters are always treated with respect (mostly)

This was one of Atma's main complaints. I think Gunsmith is just reiterating whatever Atma said.

I didn't have the patience to read until the end, but I don't think it was too late, it shows that SNK is listening to the fans and trying to improve the game, and even if that alone don't attract new players, at least they can keep who have the game entertained with updates.

I at least am glad for all the patchs fixing bugs, balancing characters and now this graphics update, while they could as well just made more paid characters and not fixing the game at all.

>>161309518

I remember that andy pic, but I didn't know it was made by snk, thought it was just a fan-made mockup

that really makes me think tho. Idk shit about game development but I wonder if it was really worth it rushing the game out the way it did. Like, SFV can keep adding whatever content they want, but the game is still hurt by the terrible barebones launch. A graphical upgrade for XIV might not have the same impact now as it would on launch

>>161313692
If they can get Mai's face right I'll be pretty happy. I think Andy will almost definitely look better with just lighting changes - the real problem was how flat his features are and that PS2 strand of hair.

I think that the people still bitching about XIV are the ones who really can't let go of XIII gameplay or will not accept the game isn't 2D anymore.
I don't think this update alone will bring a lot of new players, but maybe it can make casuals who were on the fence because of the "muh graphix" talk reconsider and give the game a chance now.

I mean I really hope you're right, but idk

>>161314048
Didn't even realize that a gaijin was working as a senior programmer at SNK.

>>161314581
Don't know if that's the same guy, but when SNK relaunched their website they had a bunch of employee profiles and one of them was a gaijin that helped with coding in their mobile division, the coding for the steam port of XIII and worked with some shading with their new engine.

>>161314529
So this is what it was. I can see how the shading resembles that of the new Kyo screenshot. Also was I the only one or did the shading in the new screenshot remind anyone of the KoF shading/colors for the character a bit in the neo geo games?

>>161314529
Hmm, it does look a lot better. But I think the biggest improvement is the hair color and the shape of the face rather than the shaders here.

>>161314529
Oh boy, it would be amazing if Andy ends looking like this! Athena, Kensou, Mai and Robert are also needing some changes.

>>161313510
>daily pic thing on twitter showing 1.10 shots
That would be great. I used to look forward to those every day, but the hype died down when it became clear that they weren't improving the graphics anymore.

>>161315702
Seems like KOF XIV 1.00 is Windows Vista of KOF XIV

>>161314529

Fighting games that aren't my or tekken will never be popular with casuals.

And has accepted that, capcom hasn't.

>>161316926
Good point.

>>161301467
Goddamn that looks better. The hair is a little TOO shimmer-y but it's a definite improvement. I'm worried if this graphics update will possibly affect the game's performance though. If they cut back on Special effects to get the game to play at 60 fps, how delicate is that balance to where they can fiddle with something like this?

>>161276247
Better design, the worst fucking commands ever.

>>161319784
Since that Andy screenshot that was painted by an artist at SNK was put out a while back it could be that they intended for the game to look like the upcoming update in the first place. Also since they've been hands on with it since release maybe they've gotten a bit better at optimizing. They do mention in one of the KoF stations that a constant 60 fps was a must and that made them cut back on fancier visuals, maybe since they're coming out with said fancier visuals it could mean that they found a solution to implement them. What worries me is that if the new visuals will have an update on the netcode performance, knowing that they've been adressing complaints and have been spot on with communication I'm hopeful that they found a solution for that too.

>>161293524

They can't into MAX mode combos or fighting games in general. Still don't know why people go over there.

I like MAX mode myself because it allows me to get pretty crazy if the match is relatively lag-free.

Yeah, I hope the graphical cutbacks were just because they didn't know how to optimally make a lighting engine/shaders yet. The 1.10 screenshot doesn't look like something that would tax the PS4, but who knows.

>>161329970
Anyone who used the graphics as an excuse to dodge woukd have just responded to 1.10 with something like "too late" or "still looks like ass". I think this will win over people who legitimately couldn't stomach how 14 looked, IF the game can still maintain 60 FPS with the new look (which it should, IMO).

>>161331285
Neowave was a hodgepodge of a game. Old-school MAX meter mashed up with selectable offensive and defensive mechanics and the safest teams they could put together (it was the last time we had the New Faces team in a "new" game, not counting the UMs). It was definitely a test game for the Atomiswave board, and it showed. Up until KoF 12 came out, it was considered the worst KoF game, which goes to show how goofy people were back then.

>make rolls shorter so fireballs can be weaker

>>161337486
Since XIII, I think.

>>161309518

I respect Gunsmith a lot for all the work he's put into the KoF community over the years, but maybe it's the t-shirt selling, but some of his bids for attention feel forced in a really weird way.

>>161337556
>XIII
Anyone who says they are a competitive XIII player, and not 2k2 or 98, is a joke amongst the KOF community. Sorry, but that's how it rolls, XIII was the anime anomaly of the franchise.

So where does XIV lie in this? Joke or not joke?

>>161340029
XIV is fine, it could use max mode fine-tuning as people would argue, but it isn't as bad as XIII is. XIII is what SF4 is, it brought in a bunch of newbies who can play that one game. They can play XIII. But they can't play KOF itself. There is a lot more KOF in XIV than in XIII, a tremendous amount. It's just that it's balls easier to do the stuff you'd have incredible amount of trouble to do in 2k2 because of how quick maxing in XIV is more like quick HD in the startup so you don't have to manually dash, except you can't cancel specials into specials like you can in either 2k2 or XIII, and you have pretty good input leniency compared to 2k2.

Personally I think quickmaxing should force harsher scaling on followups, or light attack starters should do that (like how Blazblue does it), then you may want to think about damage from raw activations vs quickmaxing's toned down damage.

There are lots of fundamental problems with XIII-only players because of what XIII encouraged as a playstyle. Don't get me wrong, I love me some XIII and it's fun to watch. But anyone who tells you "muh XIII players" is not really a KOF player himself. They can go on about "oh most of the decent XIV players are from XIII". And yet the best fucking XIV player is a fucking 98 god, not XIII. People who got too into XIII had to adjust a lot while XiaoHai felt a lot more at home.

>>161340630
And the guy who won the Taiwanese tournament last weekend was an 02UM player, and the 2nd place finisher was an OG 98 legend.

>>161340923
Right. All I have to say is QED on that.

Anyway, anyone who also says "quickmaxing from long range"...heh.

Atma should just go back to complaining about anime games or something, it's not like they're known for balance.

Probably referring to long range pokes like Robert's far B and Iori's far D into quick-MAX. Not exactly long range, but far relative to how close you need to be for quick-MAXing in most other KOF games.

Probably since his effete look never really caught on with the women. Honestly, what dude in KOF can get the ladies as easily as Iori can.

And I'm not even sure what he means by "composer" rather than "arranger" and don't remember a KOF that had a "guest composer" outside those who already composed music for KOF games.

Yes, I think he is looking manlier now too. He doesn't seem to have duck lips anymore, also, thanks to the shadings he seem a bit more strong now too.

Something I always liked about Kyo was the fact that although he have a pretty face, he also have a nice build and that asshole attitude. If they made him too slim, he would just look like an average bishounen.

Unfortunately we may have to wait for KOF XV to get those broad shoulders back. I hope they do decide to make him, Iori, and Andy more bulky like their original designs.

>>161382461
Programming physics and real time collision is a lot of computation, though, even if you try to optimize it. Do you realize how much goes into calculating collision alone?

Let me start you off. Do you know how to calculate a planar-planar intersection?

Or rather, what's the one time two planes will NEVER intersect?

You can simplify it with grouping things in a box, but that simply reduces the problem from an exponential or polynomial complexity to a logarithmic complexity and creates an overhead that even simpler problems have to run through.
