They are bad compared to anything that came out this gen. They look incredibly flat, like plastic models, it's PS2-era skin textures all the way. I mean, just freeze frame on faces in that trailer. Now, if that bothers you or not, that's a different thing.

Also this PS4-exclusive release might backfire on SNK, I don't think the people that really care about KOF have current-gen consoles, hehe.

I had a Brazilian coworker stuff his suitcase full of PS4s when he went home for Christmas last year because he could sell them for way less than MSRP and still make a ridiculous profit.

It's still like 1900 BRL (about 500 USD right now, give or take) on legit stores, not counting games and controllers which are 200 a piece. There's a reason why I play on pad, a legit Madcatz is almost as expensive as the fuckin' console.

Other than the models the gameplay itself looks decent; hopefully it comes out on PC relatively quickly.

It is literally cheaper for a Brazilian to fly to America, buy a PS4, and fly back to Brazil than it is to buy a PS4 in Brazil.

Also quit whining about the graphics everyone, they look fine and they'll still keep improving them since the game doesn't go gold for another three months.

The KOF14 character artists don't even seem to bumpmap these models. Or if they are, then it's not noticeable. It's so absurdly far behind in basic technical competence that I'm mystified. There's no defense for skipping something that basic in this day and age.

The animators are doing fine, mind, but the texture work is just silly bad.

They do but they actually tried to make KOFXIII PC be less terrible.

Netcode is a lie perpetuated by the Esports Illuminati so people wouldn't play Melty Blood. The good netcode is a Caster because it references dark magic. Ask questions.

Also XIV is probably gonna have bad netcode and that's pretty sad. It can't be THAT expensive to license and use GGPO, can it?

Who knows. That Yatagarasu game is still yet to license/implement it even though they supposedly got the money for it through crowdfunding.

when's caster integration on steam

should i buy it before then or is this a Yatagarasu situation where they're like "no we're totally going to integrate GGPO, any day now" and then never do it until the game is dead and nobody even remembers it existed

Well, Madscientist seems to be working directly with Arcsys to implement rollback, but it's still on its early stages - they're not sure if it's gonna be a new implementation, if they're just gonna license CCCaster, etc. The good thing is that Melty is already dead, so that which is dead may eternal lie and poo poo.

Japanese game devs taking advice from a westerner and likely being in charge of implementation sounds shaky to me

There are some pretty nice writeups for some characters there. Amazingly enough F-Nero is absent but my writeup on him is press j.C a lot.

besides having a billion traps and good ways to convert into really advantageous situations all around, she's a loving tank

her guts rating is super loving good for some reason
