If it doesn't look like total poo poo visually then it'll already have a massive leg up on 5, even before getting to the gameplay. I can't believe how ugly 5 is. They wanted its toxic avenger rear end to be a massive spectator game?

I think SF5 as an extension of the SF4 style can look really good at times. Like lots of Bison's moves including EX Scissor Kick and his walk animation are really cool, at least to me. But the same game then releases Sakura 2 years later with all of her incredibly stilted, robotic looking animation. I know all modern games outsource development to one extent or another, but SFV makes it so painfully obvious that all of these characters/assets are being made by different people with presumably different budgets/skillsets. Inconsistency is the real problem that's plagued SFV for its entire lifetime.

I think another huge problem is that they use in game character models for the character select screen and victory screens. Because of this, you get a really up close and still look at character models that were clearly designed to be in motion at all time. Some things still looked hosed up at range like Ken's face with his short hair costume, but most of the clipping is a lot more forgivable when you're in game and moving around. I think if they had just used actual drawn artwork by Bengus or somebody, or at least made different models for the close ups a lot of the visual shortcomings would be easier to overlook.

Edit: I will say stuff like Necalli's hair before V-trigger and anything that just constantly whips around with every movement makes things look weightless and is never good, even in other games like Tekken which I think is more visually appealing overall.

The reason they didn't use drawn portraits is likely that it either wouldn't reflect the costumes or outsourced portraits would make the style discrepancies even more apparent.

I'm very ok with that KOF15 roster since it once again includes Oswald, Yamazaki, Vanessa and brings back Shen Woo/Duo Lon. Hurts to lose King of Dinosaurs, but other than that it's REALLY cool Nelson and Zafina come back and even cooler that there is (I assume) a non-canon New Faces

Kind of funny that Nelson and Zafina return yet the guy the devs said was "one of the new heroes" Hattori got left out. I think the only character I'm wondering "where the gently caress is he" is DUCK KING.

Would be happy to be proven wrong though because I love how they're always like "We're probably going to avoid adding more Fatal Fury people since there's already so many in the cast" (adds multiple Fatal Fury characters/backgrounds for the XIV DLC).

Oh yeah story-wise XIV was kind of brilliant because they created an excuse to be able to use any character from any time period but still have an ongoing new plot/characters too.

The former Lab Zero devs have formed Future Club, a worked-owned co-op studio. Incidentally, remember when the worker-owned co-op studio that made Dead Cells split everyone working on that game into a non-co-op subsidiary when it became successful?

I am so unreasonably excited for Future Club. I'm permitting myself to have unwarranted hope in a scrappy upstart, which has famously never gone badly for goons ever.

They've also brought on Aevee Bee as their writer and only listed non-LZ contributer. And since she wrote the only two good video games, I'm excited for fighting games to get astonishingly gay.

I like that KOF roster list, but I don't believe it There aren't any brand new characters at all, which seems fishy, considering XIV had a lot. I guess XIII didn't have any either, but that had a rough development process.

It's sacrilege, but I'm kinda hoping for a playable Jeff

game/system stuff:

Please let this be real. I want to play O. Yashiro in a new game.

Also, see how they handle Chris in this engine. They managed to make Yuri good despite her legs not reaching across a third of the screen now.

I remember hearing Oda or someone talk about what they were aiming for with 14's plot and he made it sound like he wanted to bring back Shermie and everything else was a means to an end, and that's when I knew new SNK was going to be fine.

Was actually in his contract that DS9 had to not kick Worf's rear end so much. Funny thing is that doesn't mean he can't gently caress up all the time.
