WWWOOOOWWW

King of Fighters XIV, the latest edition of the long-running cult fighting game, has been announced for PS4 at Sony’s Tokyo Game Show press conference.

A brief reveal trailer showed that SNK Playmore, the game’s Osaka based developer, has chosen to build the new game in 3D, a choice the studio has briefly attempted before.

"This brand new KOF numbered series title features high-quality 3D visuals, however staying true to the gameplay roots of the series," SNK Playmore said.

ing of Fighters XIV will ship on PlayStation 4, but it is not yet clear if the game is an exclusive.

The game is scheduled to ship across Japan in January. No further details were announced.

SSOOO HAAAPPPYYY

Nobody stops the PS4 train.

Gravity Rush 2 got announced as well. I just say this because of your sig

Never played the series but can't complain with more exclusive games.

Will this one be an exclusive? It seems like a bad idea. I mean, King of Fighters isn't really a big franchise (at least compared with the other fighting game PS4 exclusive, Street Fighter V), so wouldn't it made more sense to go after the XBone crowd too now that they won't be able to play Street Fighter? I would say go for the WiiU crowd too, but they have Smash, and the NX still seems too far away.

The niche Bloodborne sold over 2 million in few months... exclusive is the way to go now (at least for Japanese devs).

Fighting gamers are on PS4 btw.

But BloodBorne came during a time where the PS4 still didn't have a really strong library, it was marketed as THE exclusive of the year and it had a developer know for arguably the most iconic series on the "as-hard-as-possible" genre. King of Fighters will come out surrounded by exclusives more popular than it, on a library crowded with heavy-hitters, competing directly with the most popular game of the genre (also an exclusive). It's not the same. KOF would have benefited from being on the XBone too, specially now that Killer Instint is two years old now.

I will have to remove it lol, but it is sad that it doesn't come to the vita

With development team that has 0 experience on 3D game? Did you look at the trailer?

I'm die hard KOF fan, but this is quite depressing.

Going for XBone crowd is a bad idea considering it has terrile sales rate in Asia (South Korea, Japan, China), their core market.

If anything, it will likely be ported over for PC in order to get South American market, in which prefers KOF over SF. Much later. Considering their studio power.

NX may be a possible choice if it sells well in Japan.

Regardless. KOF fan base just have gotten past the 5 stages of the grief moments ago. They really don't like style of KOF 14. Lets hope it isn't going to be a repeat of XII. Considering PS4 isn't suffering from weird form of drought that benefited Bloodborne so much, KOF 14 isn't going to benefit much from going exclusive.

Based on Trailer, Kyo is either in XI style (Having mixture of 94' and 02' style) or simply one of 98, 99, or 00. And considering the motion he performed before going to next move, it is either his Standing CD (Blowback) can be combo'ed into for free without netting a counter, or his super trigger contains CD motion.

Looking at the location of Iori after hit, it is likely that CD hit Iori while he was airborne. In older KOF, this would force soft knockdown - meaning no follow up. But he is following up either with Super, or DP.

He still seems to have great armor he had back in XIII as NESTs Kyo.

I KNOW They are going to try to pander western and Latin market by introducing some of forgotten characters like Heavy D!, Lucky, Brian, and Agent team will probably going to make a comeback. (Seth, Ramon, Vanessa.)

For a game that gets hammered to oblivion for having Mai Shiranui, KOF certainly has lots of good female characters and ethnic characters that breaks stereotype.

Since they are bought out by Chinese company, it is likely that hinted story about Kensou's Dragon Power will become very important in this game. (Unless this is a Dream Match.) This means Bao the most annoying kid in the history of KOF is returning to give us another extremely safe and highly damaging balls.

I'm not sure how much of KOF XIII's move trend will made into 14. KOF 13 had to recycle moves to fill the slot as spriting process took extremely long time and came with hefty price tags. But this also resulted in some character getting absurd tools like King, Kim and Kyo.
