If you checked via the PSN phone app yesterday (or website, still might be able to), you could download it to your PS4, even though it has yet to appear on the storefront via the PS4.
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.
Yup, I just want some single player with some depth, besides solid online. So a decent arcade or vs cpu is more important than a 4 hour long cinematic story mode IMO.
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.
Garou is great, if not straightforward (hence the appeal from the Capcom crowd)........Real Bout FF Special and Real Bout FF 2 are also very good, but often overlooked.
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
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.
Nice, I had read about the demo coming to PSN in Hong Kong/Singapore, but I didn't think we would see it in North America. Seven fighters for a demo is pretty nice, although KOF's teams of three format kinda requires it.
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.
Yeah, the mechanics are there, the presentation / art direction is great, but unfortunately, unless if it's Rocket League, online is not the majority of time I spend with any game.
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).
MGS5 is like dating a model archetype, the first 5 dates are really exciting, but after three months if feels hollow, shallow, and not worth pursuing anynore.
That's what it always comes down to with Souls fans, your not good enough.......your not a real gamer......you like your hand held......blah blah blah blah.
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.
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.
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.
20 dollars, a little high but not unexpected at all, 15 dollars is just right.......people have to remember that the publisher is in the game of making money, they aren't going to sell it for what you can pick it up used physically.
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.
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.

Honestly, besides a few examples, I don't think most females are offended by such things at all (you mentioned 50 shades).
It's uptight dudes who love to wave the SJW flag that are killing it for everybody.
Re: ESPN Thought Mika's Costume Showed Too Much Skin in Street Fighter V Finals
It's OK to show violence on television, but a little T and A? Call up your senator!!!
It's a shame that the Japanese have to censor their games because of uptight $$$$s in the west.

It's shady, I agree, but a great game is a great game.

I can see them charging full price for this and it's DLC.
I'll still buy it, TR 2013 was amazeballs.

I think it's improved quite drastically since TGS, and most importantly, it looks like they captured the feeling / mechanics of mainline KOF.
Re: Garou: Mark of the Wolves Re-Enters the Ring on PS4, Vita

Re: Video: Is the PS4 Powerful Enough for Virtual Reality?
I still reckon that the main driver behind PS4 Neo development was to offer a more compelling piece of hardware for PSVR support than the base PS4.
4K, whatever,....it will just support media, not gaming.

Re: Mai You Give a Warm Welcome to Dead or Alive 5's Newest Challenger
It probably won't have a huge amount of cross appeal to be honest, KOF (the main series) and DOA don't play alike whatsoever obviously.
That being said it would be cool to the likes of other KOF girls in DOA, like Blue Mary or Yuri Sakazaki.
