Today King OF Fighter XIV was announced at Sony press conference this leaves me confused as to whether it should count as being at TGS or not. Fans are happy with the announcement but the graphics which fans think leaves things to be desired.
For those who have not seen it the game is in full 3D with 2D gameplay but the look reminds fans of King OF Fighters Maximum Impact their first attempt at 3D on the PS2. So far we only see the series main rivals Kyo and Iori with both wearing new clothes but showing their trademark moves. This look as disappoints fans as they compare to the art style in XIII and the other games. To this we must remember two things. One even though the art work was gorgeous with lively colors and detail it was a lot of work to get it their win which 3D is easier. Second we cant compare it to other fighting games. Each game needs to have its own look so comparing it to Street Fighter V 3D artwork or Guilty Gear Xrd 2D/ 3D fusion is wrong as they must come up with their own visual style.
As I put before we must keep that in mind also this the first trailer out of three according to the website. So there may be a lot more to show. To be honest I have my own worries as I hope this doesn’t turn into XII where the gameplay was just basic and in some way unbalanced (and missing K’ Prime). So we have a lot we do not know so hold back on judgment.
As always thank you for readin.
