Re: Capcom Is Trying to Make Street Fighter V Less Mind-Numbingly Tedious

sub12

I played the KOF 14 demo yesterday, you have access to four of five colors per a fighter off the bat.

While I don't think KOF 14 matches the graphical polish of SF5 after last night, the gameplay is KOF to the core, and it feels like an old school fighter in that you have multiple colors / costumes without DLC, female/male announcer option, and you already see the options for 50 fighters, a quantity of stages, modes, etc.

I don't think this is going to play like a story mode such as Mortal Kombat X, so don't expect that......

.....it will probably be akin to your usual KOF arcade mode (which usually differs on ending pending which team of three you choose, or leader of) with a few extra cut scenes thrown in compared to previous iterations.

Re: Garou: Mark of the Wolves Re-Enters the Ring on PS4, Vita

@Tasuki

Capcom and SNK are both located in Osaka.

Some of the guys behind Street Fighter (1987) went on to create Fatal Fury

Some of the guys behind Street Fighter 2 went on to create Samurai Shodown

Some of the guys who made the best SNK fighting games (mid-late 90's) would leave and create Dimps, who would become the backbone behind Street Fighter 4, a bunch of Namco fighters, and to a lesser extent Street Fighter 5.

One of the main Capcom heads behind Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike and Marvel VS Capcom 2 just left for SNK, etc

@Sammy

Garou is part of the Fatal Fury series more or less, it was called Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves for its Dreamcast release in NA.

In both Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (91) and Real Bout Fatal Fury (95)......Geese Howard is killed by Terry (via getting kicked out of a skyscraper, lol), Real Bout is more or less a reboot of the original Fatal Fury.

Garou takes place about 15-20 years after that timeline, Terry raised Rock Howard (Geese's son) as more or less his own, and the game features the sons of Kim Kaphwan......Fatal Fury and Garou also take place in Southtown USA.

Still, Real Bout FF Special and Real Bout FF 2 are really amazing games that need more love and get often overlooked.

Re: Video: Is the PS4 Powerful Enough for Virtual Reality?

@get2sammyb

Fair enough, but saying outright that PS4 Neo is the superior machine for PSVR is kinda walking the line when it comes to marketing......."so PSVR isn't really 400 dollars for the optimal experince, your saying it's another 400 or whatever on top of that"......

Maybe your right, but if I was Sony and if PS4 Neo was developed to give VR a more substantial kick......I wouldn't say that outright at this time, not when everybody owns the base PS4......not when you already sold it as a 400 dollar piece of kit.

Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Scared of Xbox's Scorpio?

sub12

The Scorpio is more or less a new console, even if it does exsist, at least initially, within the XB1 ecosystem.

PS4K is more of an iteration, we probably won't see more of a successor to the PS4 line until late 2018.

Anyways, the PS4 is doing so well that I don't think Sony is that worried. The Scorpio is Microsoft's attempt to launch a new piece of hardware that will hopefully, for them, be greeted with more sales and support than the XB1 (which really only has a substantial market in North America right now).

Re: Demon's Souls Remaster Could Crawl Up and Die on Your PS4

@themcnoisy

It's pretty much the trendy thing to do these days, love the Souls series.......poor FromSoftware, they are pretty much stuck in purgatory due to all these fanboys.

I always thought the games had interesting level design / atmosphere but everything else was rather lame.

Re: Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Will Make Your Eyes Pop in Virtual Reality

@shosbu

It's not going to happen most likely, it was easy to implement such options in 16 bit titles and what not, but if you asked the developers of GTA 5 to erase material which may be deemed offensive, you may as well not release the game whatsoever.

I'm all for religious liberties no matter what the belief (as long as it's peaceful in nature), but I'm not for watering down a product to appease a certain segment of the population which may have a few moral questions on the subject.

Re: Unreal Engine Maker Can't Wait for PS4K

sub12

It represents a new console launch to you guys? I just find that odd, it's a new iteration of the PS4 lineage that will offer better VR support and poss higher frame rates and superior textures pending what the developer see's fit (the Neo is still too weak for proper AAA 4k gaming).

Of course companies will say that they are excited about the Neo publicly, but I don't think it's confirmation of how they really feel (I'm not saying it's necessarily negative).

I'm not anti-PS4K either, I'm sure I'll buy it, but I'm trying to keep my expectations in check.

Re: Evolve Will Be Playable for Free on PS4 Soon

sub12

Man, remember how much the gaming press hyped this title up before release, bunch of 2014 E3 awards, bunch of most awaited for 2015 snippets.

(that's not a stab at Push Square, I don't think you guys ever did that)

Re: Dead Island's Deep Silver to Publish Persona 5 in Europe

sub12

@belmont

Basically, Atlus/SEGA do not want to worry about translating Japanese titles to multiple languages outside of English, having it QA'd, having it censored for the Germans........and then distributing what are usually niche titles to multiple nations.

So they have Deep Silver do it.

Re: Rockstar's The Warriors Brawls to PS4

@Kyroki

I think it has more to do with the limited resources of Sony, since they seem to be the ones doing the actual emulation. They didn't crank out the PS1 classics either. Seem to be focusing on self-published titles and Rockstar, once they finish up with that, they will probably continue with the Capcom's and Konami's of the world.
