KOF 04 sprite?

[alundra]

what kind of sprite do you expected to be? i would like to see the sprite like GGXX or SFA3 or MOTW would be fine..

[Yeloazndevil]

most likely SNK Playmore won't even bother redrawing the sprites.

[alundra]

well this is more a personal opinion on what kind of sprite do you like and since kof using the same old sprite for too damn long so i just wondering what sprite would you like for the new KOF..but who knows what kind of sprite SNK gonna make..

[Yeloazndevil]

well in that case, I would want high res sprites at 640x480

[hellmasterx]

they only want to make easy money from hardcore fans.

[Vanit]

The otherside of the story is how could they change the sprites for the better? What would you like to see in a new sprite? Perhaps the sprite team can't think of any improvements that need to be made.

complete redraws, preferrably high-res. of course, and smooth animation
320x240 is soooo last milennium

i think they'll keep the style but will make higher resoulution ones
that's my opinion . i mean i don't want to see a cvs mai (monkey )
plz SNK keep the style

hm...I actually liked most cvs redraws.....aside from ryo.

[cloudvii]

yes i liked some from Capcom vs SNK , like joe , iori (with some animation giltches) , Terry (the best)
but i disliked kyo , Ryo , Mai , Rock

[Mr.Smith]

I'd like to see hi-res sprites with Garou-ish animation while maintaining the same art style.

hm.. now THAT's a good idea

[cloudvii]

I remember i've seen some sprites made by a fan who was just trying to make a hi res kof sprites . they were cool (why didn't i download them ? ) but ofcourse they weren't as good as snk's . If I find them again I'll post them here .

[alundra]

beside sprite, i really want to see the animation of opening and ending for each character/team, the kof series really lack of animation..

[permethium]

Yea, high res sprites would be cool + they can keep things like the moves and character fighting styles and stances the same but maybe just redraw the appearance a little( like they did with kyo from kof98 to 99).

[cloudvii]

actually the great update made in 1995/6 to all snk games was the best thing ever , in kof 96 , fatal fury 3 , AOF3 , Samurai shodown 3 . these were the days .
I like last blade animation too , it's pretty cool

If SNK/P were to redraw the sprites for KOF, they would need a lot of time to do it, especially since they have 40+ characters. They could reduce the roster in KOF 2004 to say to something like 7 teams instead of the usual 13/14 teams with new high res sprites, then next year they would have time to redraw other teams then add them on in KOF 2005.
I dont think we will be seeing high res sprites this year. They already have 2 other KOF titles besides KOF 2004 in development. KOF Neowave on Atomiswave (which has low res sprites) and KOF Maximum Impact on PS2 which looks pretty impressive for SNKP since there past 3D titles were a dissapointment.

[cloudvii]

>>>there past 3D titles were a dissapointment.
yes and no . first let's check their 3D games (which are really rare) .
1) Samurai Shodown 64 : I didn't play it , but i couldn't find any one who says it's bad , plus it has Shiki
2) Samurai Showdown Warriors Rage : Which was 2.5D (as Kaiser said about SFEX games ) , I own this game for PSX and it's very good , in all terms .
3) Fatal Fury Wild Ambition : An average game , nothing superior (Again I own it for PSX )
4) Road's rage (or "edge" I can't remember) : A racing game which i've never played
5) Athena the awakening : Action Game , again I didn't play
6) Buriki one : A fighting game with cool roster , I didn't play it too , but this one had a cool new system . One of the characters appeared as a striker in KOF (Gai) .

So that's what i know so far , these games were released for Hyper NEOGEO 64 , and some were ported to PSX .

You missed out Samurai Showdown 64 II.
Yeah, I guess I exaggerated the part about SNKs 3D games being a dissapointment . The game I mentioned above and Buriki one were good games, I havnt played SS64 II but Ive seen clips of it.
I do have a few Neo Hyper 64 vids around. I dont know how to upload them though. Ill see if I can remember where I found them
