Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Revealed - My Thoughts

- So SNK has finally shown off how the elusive Garou 2 will look and in a torrent of conflicting thoughts I tried to pin some down and vomit out a coherent script. I'm honestly not sure how accurate these thoughts still are to my current feelings after having a day to sit with the teaser, but I feel like I should upload it regardless.
#fatalfury #snk #cityofthewolves #motw #garou #cotw
I would have focused more on what made the original Garou stand out so much, the beautiful and expressive animations and visual effects where every detail mattered. Maybe we just haven’t seen enough and that true Garou goodness will come out once we actually see a few more interactions and moves.
I think that if the character animation looks good enough to show the true charisma of the cast, then it can stand out and attract new players, just like the original game still does 24 years later.
I also really dig the MVC3 style shading, the comic book style is SO fitting for a new Fatal Fury. Wish Terry’s jacket looked a little less orange tho 😬 but that’s just a nitpick.
2D pops more when you do that. 3D is harder unless you go for cel shading technique
How do you feel about this statement now?
@@yeetkunedo It looks much better now, I’m happy with where it is at the moment.
Edit: Especially the visual effects, they look really nice compared to KoF XV, and it feels to me like they are really respecting the source material.
@@mariocraft3067 the little details show that they remember quite well what series they’re working on
I honestly hope SNK pushes the graphical fidelity up a notch before launch, cuz if they REALLY wanna wow ppl, this is their chance X3
Agree. Isn't bad looking but you kinda start expecting more from SNK. Especially with their claims of the resurface of SNK..
Then again, I'm still on my theory that SNK divided their budget on KOFXV and this game.
My biggest concern is if all snk games start to use the same art style and begin to blend in with one another
Same I dig the comic style for Fatal Fury but I don't think it will fit KOF XVI
Aka the first 11 kof games?
@@Waltersopkof is a crossover from other games that had thiee own distinctive art style.
@@Waltersop Which were all yearly releases done with 2D sprite work which is time consuming and expensive to do, all while still retaining its own KoF art style different from the Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting games of that time.

When you seem them back to back you can appreciate the artistic improvements and differences
Cant wait to play marco when this game comes out
I'm cautiously optimistic
As a normie sf/mk player the graphics look great. The cel shading with the shadows remind me of mvc3 and indeed ,Samurai Shodown, which is still amazing to this day. I'm looking forward to it
Probably SNK its looking for sustainable growth than just give it all to just one game, i mean they really had a big bad experience with put all eggs in one basket with KOF XII/XIII
I like how it looks, they are triying to emulate Tonko's style to cell shading, the animations looks a lot smoother than KOF XV and effects were triying to remenber Garou
What I’m really hoping for (even though I doubt we’ll get it) is more than just the same three modes. I don’t want to turn on the game and just see Arcade, Online, Training, and that’s it. Like, I’m not asking for a full on Story Mode or something like that (because I really doubt they’ll do something like that), but I’m tired of SNK games having less content in it than Tekken 3 on the PS1.
Like, jeeze, don’t charge me 60 to 70 dollars plus DLC on a game that only offers Arcade and that’s that. I love SNK, I really do, but they make games like they’re still arcade ports instead of full on games.
I understand your concern, this game really need to have impressive graphics. I recon this game is head in the right art direction. But to the casuals this might need a bit more to attract them. All the best to SNK
While I think it's fine, I'm also the type that doesn't really love the hyper realistic direction half the fighting game genre is going nor do I love the super ridiculous exaggerated anime designs of the other half. My core feelings are that I'm not really worried about the graphics as long as SNK can actually prioritize giving us a cool story mode that explores the characters in ways we haven't seen since the 90s. Fatal Fury characters have been frozen in time since 1995 and this game should take advantage of that instead of just shitting out another competitive-focused fightan like with SamSho, a series that only got away with it because it wasn't featured in KOF. I can forgive the game not being Tekken 8 graphically if they at least can pull off something like World Tour, but actually interesting and not just an OC filler arc that's clearly waiting for Season 1 to be finished before adding something substantial.
SNK already has KOF for the raw fightan experience. Fatal Fury needs to be more than just the same as it ever was otherwise I really don't see a good future for the company.
Yeah, now that the graphics have been revealed, my primary concern is now what exactly the single player content will be and how these characters are going to be depicted. If that side of the game kicked ass I would be a lot more forgiving of the visuals not being mindblowing.
I think it's totally fine to be critical, the thing I don't get is why SNK gets so much criticism on graphics and "asset flips" much more than other companies who do the exact same thing (not signaling you out btw.)
But the very games you mention do it too (Tekken has been doing it for god knows how long, SF, Guilty Gear, etc.) My guess is that you hold SNK to a higher standard, which is fine, nothing wrong with that.
Also, its nothing new for them specifically, they've been doing it since the 90s (KOF 94-2003, KOF 12-13, FF3 to RB2, etc.)
Unfortunately, Fatal Fury/Garou Densetsu has never been a game "normies" turned to look at and play. Mark of the Wolves was the pinnacle of 2d animation, and yet still is the nichest of the niche, I know this because I was around when it came out. I remember playing it at the break room of a game company I worked for around the year 2003 and people were asking me if it was a sega genesis game lol.
I do however agree with you that hey, if SNK wants to be a top AAA company, this game probably wont turn the heads of the mainstream. They cant even outsell their rival fighting games with established names, much less AAA games like what Activision, Square, Sony or whatever other billion-dollar company puts out.
As a side note I think so far it looks much better than SF6 (I don't know why people think SF6 looks good, I guess because 5 was so bad). Sf6 looks like they couldn't decide whether they wanted to be realistic or stylized, so its some ugly weird mix of both that makes it look clay-like and washed out. The name alone sells that franchise and if you don't believe me check SF5. At least this game has a clear vision on the style they want to implement, whether people dig the style it or not is a different conversation. But hey, its just my opinion, I'm clearly in the minority lol.
The question for me is do I wish this game to not exist at all and leave Mark of the Wolves as the legacy it left us. At this point I dont know, I guess I'll reserve judgement until the game comes out. Great video and keep the faith! 🙂
This!
Doesn't SF famously NOT do asset flips? Almost every game is made in a different engine from each other, and every move is remade every game, with the latest, SF6, being fully mocap'd
The thing is, I'm fine with "asset flips" (I probably should've used a different term since that one has such a negative connotation" if they're in service to the game. But COTW's models are built off of XV's which are in turn built off of XIV's. Reusing models that have their origins in 2016 just seems cheap after a certain point and denies Fatal Fury it's own identity. Even back in the 90s when they were running concurrently, FF and KOF never shared sprite art. Already a lot of people are pointing out similarities in how KOF XV and COTW look which is not good when SNK needs to sell this as a different series that can stand on it's own. I believe Fatal Fury is an amazing franchise with the potential to at the very least reach the heights of GG Strive but I can't help but feel they're falling at the first hurdle here.
Gotta disagree on SF6 though, I think the game looks fantastic lol Not perfect by any means, but closer than any other modern FG in my opinion
looks so much better graphically than KOF14 and 15 and SF4 and 5. This looks dope
Please have a Yakuza style/SF6 World Tour style free roam mode where your character can roam South Town and engage in the fights on the map shown
I'm of the opinion that it's because it's an 8th gen game. If it was a 9th gen game like Tekken 8 then yeah, I think it would have been on that level. I wouldn't be surprised that when CotW was greenlit it was just before the Saudi buyout and the ten year plan agreement. A 9th gen Psycho Soldier reboot in the next five years would be a turning point for the company (as it took DMC5 around that amount of time to be developed which I imagine a Psycho Soldier game to be like).
No platforms have been announced yet.
Honestly both SF6 and Tekken 8's graphics dont impress me. I think they could have been way better.
KoF XIV and XV were bland, SamSho was decent, this is a step above artistically, but I still want SNK to poach Shinkiro back from Capcom
also here's a side by side
czcams.com/video/1HR577r958I/video.html
Tbh i think terry looks really good. Rock’s jacket has a lot of movement but l his sleeves specifically and hair could use some more movement(tbh both terry and rock could use some l movement in their pants during their attacks as well) Lastly rock’s expression could be a little stronger but i may just need more footage for that but overall i really like the colors and comic book shading they have going on. It has me interested.
Terry's hair color looks way better in this (more accurate) than KoF XV's which had a fake looking bright yellow tint to it.
Real. Said perfectly.
this is like every kof15 trailer saying to shatter all expectations, but then the game met the (average) expectations pretty on point.
so for this game i expected to not be blown away, and once again it’s more of less as predicted.
My insider at SNK gave me a prototype copy to play and holy fuck the new designs for Rick and Hokutomaru are CRAZYYYYY y’all are not ready for this
my capcom spy gave me one too, there's a new character, rock's mom
I really can't see the point of making "beterer" Terry model from scratch if Garou will use this visual style.
SNK is not the same as it was before the 2000s. That much you should know by now. The King of Fighters 13 was the Final Moonfang Skythrust for those guys regarding 2D. They used everything they had for that game.
I agree with your thoughts. It makes me feel like SNK is always cursed one way or another with how many bungled decisions that have been made over the years. I don't think this game is going to be strong enough to adequately compare to its contemporaries.
I think it looks pretty good and has a cool style. Just don't know if people are going to get past the similarity to Kof xv. But honestly, even if it looked better I don't if its really possible to get a bunch of normies playing. It's too hard to compete with series that already have giant preestablished player bases like Tekken and Steet Fighter.
Definitely, SF and Tekken are fairly untouchable for SNK at the moment but I would love to see Fatal Fury reach the kind of popularity Guilty Gear has been experiencing since Strive came out, which was a series that was probably even more niche than KOF beforehand.
@@JohnSexDDStrive was kind of the perfect storm. But I feel like XV made a pretty big splash initially. I think the skill gap made it hard for new players too stick around. Not sure how will work the new FF. Will be interesting too see.
@@magicman7369 KoF XV also had bad matchmaking, not much singleplayer content, and the tutorial was awful. The game was still fun of course.
side by side shows how different CotW is from XV
czcams.com/video/1HR577r958I/video.html
I loved the trailer, but then again, I'm a huge FF fan, I can see how it may not be immediately appaling yo new audiences
Even though I disagree with ya I get where youre coming. For me what I wanted was for it to look different enough from XV and to me it does, now thats not to say its INCREDIBLY different and mind blowing but enough for me to go "yeah that ain XV". If people did what youre doing and just voice how you arent a fan of it or felt it couldve been pushed further with the visuals, than dope I fuck with it and Im all for the criticism. My biggest gripe is that there are people really voicing how much they like the look of the game but then youll have people come outta nowhere and shit on them for liking it or discredit them for liking it as if they dont know any better. Truth be told I dont think even if it had an even better art style/graphic that it would matter with getting non-snk fans to look at it or be itching to play. It just not SF, Tekkem or MK. Is what it is. Do I want SNK games to become more main stream and have more eyes outside of the concentrated fandom? Of course, but I'm keeping it a stack, thats an EXTREMELY difficult uphill battle. Great vid though, thanks for sharing ya thoughts on it.
Yeah I tried to keep this video as respectable as possible while not mincing my words. There's nothing wrong with being on either side of the fence but people just get so fucking emotional over this shit and it's exhausting lol
I agree that it won't be easy to reach the heights of SF, Tekken and MK, but since SNK is interested in growing the company, I don't see why they shouldn't shoot for that regardless. After all, there was a time where SNK and Capcom stood side by side, at least in the FG department.
@@JohnSexDD Yeah I get what ya mean, I don't want it to seem like I'm saying they cant do it or not to try. I definitely want them to have that type of reach. I feel like graphics is just one part of the issue, marketing and content plays a part too but shit all of us painfully are aware of that lol
Also yeah people get into wars over this, I try to not get too involved because its all how we feel and view the directions but its just becomes a pain when people get shit on for liking or disliking something regardless if they did it in a respectful way. Either its "You dont like it? YOU HATE SNK" or "You really like this shit? SF6 shits on this what a sheep".
Mind you I only got into the SNK community around maybe 4 or so years ago so take what I say with a grain of salt.
@@DecepySwag You and me both dude, I got into SNK in 2018 myself lol
I dont wanna be negative, but a new 2D Fatal Fury game wouldve been more interesting honestly.
With that said, I will still play this for a while at least, regardless!
I do agree that there is nothing particularly special about the new Fatal Fury graphics. With that said, although you focused on times when SNK was near the top of fighting game graphics design, do remember that from KOF '94 - 2003 (10 games and 10 years), the graphics in each installment were almost completely the same. While you may have been blown away in '94 or in 2009 with XII and XIII, I think about 2000 and later and wonder how the graphics could have changed so little even that late. Also, that was back during the period when video game graphics were changing immensely, whereas now, graphics have pretty much settled down and don't change nearly as quickly.
So in my opinion, we should not really expect huge graphical overhauls over a period of 3 years from game to game by the same company and in the same genre. These days, true graphical improvements in sequels generally take more like 7 years or so (around the time it takes for a console generation, and also the time from SFV to SF6), and feel that time may even lengthen in the future.
The good thing is that I do really like the graphics of KOF XV. So it's not a bad thing to me that Fatal Fury looks pretty similar, just with some new filters. However, I also do get your point, and I think that while technologies haven't really made a huge leap over the past 3 years, there are other styles out there. I'd honestly rather Fatal Fury not be as "gritty / semi-grotesque" as SF6. ArcSys-style anime would work better in my opinion, but maybe that's going too far in that direction. More than anime, I like their looks of the KOF XV character portraits and hope SNK creates styles that reflect that even better. The current "regular" 3D rendered semi-anime style does kind of work for me for SNK fighting games in general. But that's me, and I do think that KOF XV is the best looking KOF (sprites or no sprites) in existence even if it's not mind-blowing.
Generally speaking, I think the game will stand out visually and the gameplay will be great
I know what you mean. Everyone expects new and better models. As for the art style I really like it and I find that it stands out in a great way in the sea of dull realism. I love how Tekken 8 looks though. I don't think SF6 looks that good and its faces are ughhhhhh.
MK looks good but, the animation looks ughhhhhhhhh. I am hoping that SNK brings a lot more content for this game. I love the art style but, this might not attract newer fans.
I am more curious to see how the other Garou cast looks like.
I understand the disappointment, and share it a little, when I heard from an interview from Oda that it will look "significantly different from previous SNK projects" this wasn't what I was expecting, I do kinda see SNK trying to make an attempt to emulate the sprite based games visuals when I look at the modern titles, while doing their own different thing, but I think they were really scrambling for an evo trailer instead of biding their time (which tbh couldn't be helped, fans were expecting something on this game at evo) but I really hope this game at least takes the time to iron out all visuals since it is going to be in this artstyle, and also learn from XV's mistakes as far as troubleshooting and betas go, and honestly I hope it diversifies itself mechanically from KoF, since fatal fury has a lot in the past to take and reuse, and adds a whole bunch of content both singleplayer and multiplayer.
I was disappointed, not because it didnt look like incredible but because I knew this game has only been in devlopment since last fall probably.
So there was no way SNK had something ready to show unless it still looked a lot like XV. I was disappointed because i knew SNK showed the game way too early, the discourse would become inevitable
I do hope at least we get something similar to metro city with south town, and redesigns for the classics
No disrespect, but this whole thing of comparing fighting games' visuals (unless they look completely horrible) is a waste of time. Of course this is all we've seen for FF: CotW, but can you REALLY say it looks underwhelming? Even if they are reused KOF XV assets? At least they did SOMETHING with them other than just leaving them as they were in XV.
And honestly, it's only underwhelming if you keep comparing them like this because people have gotten so used to seeing ever FG almost having the same visual style and when SNK does something other than what everyone else is doing, it's "not good enough".
If every game looked the same, there would be no uniqueness.
It’s SNK’s responsibility to excite us. If they didn’t want people being disappointed then they shouldn’t of shown something disappointing.
@@frothyslider253 How would they excite us exactly? What's something that they should've shown instead that wouldn't be disappointing?
@@OmegaMugen If they showed something that was visually impressive with more extensive gameplay that would of excited me. If it looked more like KOF 13 or they showed us some game mechanics.
@@frothyslider253 Sure they could've waited later to show more things but in terms of graphical style, its subjective. But I dont think it's fair to compare it to everything else and say it should look like "X" game. Its fine on its own. If anything, it looks more unique than any other fighter currently.
This is most likely a work in progress so I wouldn’t bash based on a game that is’t finished and you haven’t even tried.
“FEXL looks better” is a take one _can_ have, but probably shouldn’t lol
Yeah, I'm gonna agree here, I'm excited with the prospect of a new Fatal Fury/Garou it's been too long, but I do feel SNK needs to step up their presentation to make them stand out and make it look more distinctive. SF6, MK1 and Tekken 8 are all pushing the boundaries and getting loads of attention on both looks and gameplay. SNK can't rely only on gameplay while keeping similar looks to their 2 previous games, they need to make City of Wolves look more different than Samsho and KoF XV.
Although considering how they improved on KoF XIV's visuals from announcement, to release and then after launch. It might not be too far fetched that this is supposed to be an early stage teaser to measure the fan's reactions and make some changes along the way.
Tekken 8 is definitely not pushing the boundaries. Even Harada was disappointed.
Nor is Street Fighter 6
I do think Mortal Kombat got a much needed glow up but thats cause past games have been kinda ugly
We gettin outta the hood with this game boys!
It is absolutely true that games look better on release than in early trailers, I have no idea what you're talking about. Look at every Netherrealm game 8 months from release, to final product. Aquaman, Supergirl, Sonya, etc. Or the Resident Evil remakes are another good example.
Sure, it happens. It's dependant on the studios making the game. Recent Pokemon games recieved maybe the biggest backlashes of all time for their shit graphics in trailers, and looked exactly the same at launch. And if we're talking fighting games, most recent announcement trailers represent the final product fairly accurately outside of subtle touches that you'd have to look out for to notice. Strive, SF6, Samsho 2019 and KOF XV are all examples of this. There's no reason to believe COTW will be different.
It's all about tone. You can tell by SNK's marketing even for this game that yet again they lack ambition. Look at the track record so far. Putting a current gen 120fps Samurai Shodown only on Xbox Series to the tune of no one.
Since Samurai Shodown, none of there games have World Premiered at big events i.e. State of Play, Showcase, Summer Game Fest, Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, The Game Awards. They still small simply because (unlike back then) they think small. EVO is NOT the place to World Premiere games. Just teasers at best. They think bozos like Maximillian giving his reaction to their trailer is more important. You already have your base at EVO. They gotta go big or go home and right now it seems likely they already on the way back to the driveway.
10 years down the line cotw will look way better than sf6 mark my words
nah, sf6's animations, muscle flex, etc are just too good. You just can't compete with RE Engine
I agree the graphics art style is not good, which is a massive shame, tripping over themselves right from the start
SNK clearly cares more about thier unique artstyle, rather than looking realistic. Street fighter and tekken were always meant to look realistic from jump street since that's clearly where they wanted to go. Only certain SNK games such as IKARI and Dragon & Tiger's Fist actually seem to want something that's realistic in terms of artstyle. If official art and in game sprites are any indication.
You can't seriously be implying that Street Fighter was supposed to be realistic and KOF wasn't. Both franchises original spritework was rooted in realism (or as close as you could get with sprites) but SF branched off into cartoon territory way faster than KOF did with the Alpha series. KOF only stopped having realistic visuals with XII, and that's just because nona was in the steering wheel.
FF and AOF have pretty much identical artstyles as well so if you're saying AOF wanted a realistic artstyle then the same is true for FF.
@@JohnSexDD Well, D&TF clearly was better than Hungry Wolf Legend in that regard. Assuming what you say is true, then I think the thing that soured the realistic look for SNK was how negatively KoF 14 was percived to be in the graphics department.
Even though I think SNK should know that it wasn't the fact that models looked more real, but because the poor fidelity of said models.
So I really don't think we'll see anything like KoF 14 model wise ever again unfortunately.
Literally the only one reading the writing on the wall. Thank you.
garou mark of the wolves look stunning for is era in 1999 and garou 2 only acceptable , 110 % agree let hope for a good roster , sad garou use to be the "Best Game No One Played"
Lane system coming back when?
Kof players aren't ready for the return of chain combos
Harsh but fair criticism. You are a breath of fresh air in the SNK fandom. The things you said REALLY needed to be said. My hope against hope is a meaty offline experience on par with SoulCalibur and NRS fighters. I won't hold my breath.
looks better than sf6
to me, SNK still has big issues with lighting. None of their newer games has good lighting.
I reckon you're right. I remember seeing KOF XIV models chucked into SFV and holding up way better there
The thing about SNK's art style is it stays true to it's anime roots. Saying COTW's art looks weak also means Guilty Gear and DNF Duel's also isn't good.
If you look at the history of SNK's fighting games the art style really never changes. All they did was take the 2D anime version and make an exact copy of them in 3D.
If you want ultra realistic, play Mortal Kombat where all they care about is graphics for Fatalities and give no shits about gameplay, because its fight engine sucks.
SF6's graphics aren't that good. It's hit or miss based on the character. Guile's face looks perfect, but Chun Li and Ryu don't look anything like their previous versions. One problem SF has unlike KOF is the graphics aren't consistent. It doesn't know if it wants to be realistic or anime.
The only other game series that is like SNK is Tekken. It evolved based on the technology at the time. You can take Jin from TK3 and compare him to TK8 and they resemble each other, which can't be done with Ryu.
I don’t think it’s 100% true that all of SNK’s fighting games had the same anime art style. Of course they all had some amount of anime influence, but I’d argue that the early KOF games (like, up until XII or even 99) had a slightly more grounded and realistic art style. Early KOF sprites tended to have really detailed texturing and more realistic proportions (especially compared to capcom stuff or even earlier fatal fury games), and if I imagined what an HD 3D version of KOF94 would look like, I’d honestly picture something that more so resembles modern Mortal Kombat than KOFXV.
I think XV does a pretty decent job at translating XII/XIII’s style into 3D, but to say all SNK fighting games are strictly anime styled feels a bit wrong to me.
Now, MOTW (and fatal fury in general) is definitely more anime inspired, so I think the art direction that COTW has shown so far makes sense and looks pretty alright, but when compared to Strive or DNF, it can feel a little underwhelming. It’s good, but not unique or stylized enough to feel groundbreaking (cel shading reminds me of mvc3, and obviously the models look straight out of XV).
It depends original Fatal Fury series was more western based, specially if you look games like Fatal Fury 3/Real Bout then they inclined to more anime style with Real Bout Special/ RB2 but the western roots still were there
Only to Garou they decided to incline to a fully anime style
i think they should tweak the colors and try to go all in with the cell shading american-comic style, but overall i feel the same, i think it looks good and way better than XV, but fuck, i dont like how on XV and apparently this game too, colors are just too fucking sharp and on your face. i really dislike how effects look on XV too, like fire and wind, it just looks so weird and saturated, and when i think about Fatal Fury and SPECIALLY Garou, i think of more washed out colors, even grungy or getting that 90's vibe, not orange Terry.
Gameplay wise, i just think it also separates a lot from XV, i sound like a XV hater but there are just too many things in there that i didnt liked, and gameplay kinda is one of them, you only get combos if you spend your meter chaining EX moves, i hope SNK makes CoTW go back a bit on the traditional side, im just a novice scum on FGs, but i always felt like strong and weak specials on XV were the exact same thing but with different damage (combo-wise).
100% agree on Garou being washed out and grungy when I think about it, that's something I actually talk about in my next video. The colours here are extremely assblasted and it looks weird. Like you said, Terry's jacket is orange. His hair is damn near white lol
I 100% Agree with you the game look better than KOF XV and the new art style helped a little but it's not what we all was hoping for! It didn't give the same reaction that Tekken, MK and SF give! And I hope they don't use the same animation from KOF XV too! That's will be so bad! But maybe if the game has better animation & a good single player content will help the people to get into it!
Tekken 8 got downgraded from its initial trailer. Even Harada not satisfied.
@@budgiecat2885 yes I know but it still good! actually even FF looks good as teaser trailer I hope it will get better in the future!
I'm very confident that this video is going to age extremely poorly XD.
Actually I covered myself by saying I could be wrong so either way this video ages fine
In all seriousness, I would also like for this video to age extremely poorly
So... Here's who is confirmed:
- Terry Bogard
- Andy Bogard
- Joe Higashi
- Mai Shiranui
- Rock Howard
- Gato
- Hotaru Futaba
- Marco Rodríguez
- Tizoc
- Grant
- Kain Heinlein
All we need is some interesting DLCs and side missions:
- Kim and his sons (Dong Hwang and Jae Hoon)
- The Pao Pao Cafe crew (Richard Meyers and Bob Wilson, maybe King)
- The Jin brothers (Chon-Shu and Chon-Rei) as late teenagers/young adults, under master Tung.
- The police force (Cheng Sin Zan and Hon-Fu chasing Yamazaki)
- The Art of Fighting events as side quests (Yuri, Robert and Ryo).
Make the game in a similar fashion of the World Tour of Street Fighter 6, where you find these characters all around South Town, and get their coaching and mentorship, before you actually play as them, given time.
Fatal Fury is historically not a team based series. We will likely get single character DLCs.
@@mariocraft3067 even better. Three DLC characters per season, with a full story arc for each character. That would be good.
@@NegoClau Not very many for an entire season, but if there’s story content involved then I’m on board.
I don't mind that KoF XV and FF:CotW feel "last gen" (for lack of a better term). My problem is that they both have such a generic Anime look. Make a fighting game that looks like Shinkiro artwork or something, SNK!
With SF6 & Tekken 8 around,sadly the new FF wont appeal to the casual gamer.
This 100% . Although if I'm gonna be completely honest I don't hold current SNK in the highest place and I don't say this to be a hater or anything, I enjoy the new stuff in a certain way but the artistic side of this company is long gone. Like I see people saying about how expensive is pixel art and stuff but I saw some of the most beautiful 2D games made by a small studio or even 1 person holding such style. Anyway, let's see how it goes, maybe things will do better who knows. We can always revisit the past anyways
Hokutomaru Shippuden!
You're nuts. It looks amazing.
Graphics aside, one thing SNK needs to do better is the marketing. This for me is not good enough as a first teaser for the game (zoomed in and cropped unfinished gameplay footage). It doesn't help with the graphics talks, and most probably does nothing for the 'normies'. Compare to what SF6 and Tekken 8 put out as first trailers... this in comparison is way less exciting, and it is not all to do with the graphics.
I agree. The extremely fast pacing and weird slow mo Rock winpose just came off as shoddy, and most of the teaser was a logo zooming out. Really didn't leave much of an impact.
those 3d models... ewww... i like the shadings though
U were right. I just saw ur video on garou sequel couple weeks ago. can i be honest??as a huge fan of the garou game I'm thoroughly disappointed. Everything looks like asset flips and the graphics looks bad imo.
it's a work in progress stop bashing it
I was greatly disappointed with what I saw. After all that talk about wanting to be among the top 10 gaming companies, after finally gaining the budget to get into AAA development, after Oda stating the game would look different from what we've seen in the past, all we got was KOFXV with a cel-shade filter. Now the best case scenario is that they had no Saudi money to utilize due to the game being in development before the buyout. But if that's not the case, WTH happened? Are the higher ups at SNK not allowing Oda to utilize the new budget due to it being a fighting game? Or are Oda and his team fools?
Pretty sure the buyout was before COTW was even greenlit, so no reason this isn't the first game they start pumping that money into. What's more likely is that the Saudi shit was just regular business stuff and the funding they talked about was just a bunch of fluff.
That doesn't work like that, you dont own companies to just throw money at them, you dont spend 100 in a project that just give you 20, so stop thinking like thay have money to throw now
Oda already said what was managed to do with the purchase, change of buildings, hire more people and improve things to the old personal, but at the end of the day they work in the same way that before
Yeah that's fair enough, but I don't understand the point of all the company restructuring and expanding if their output remains the same. Unless they actually are planning a "AAA" title alongside COTW which is possible@@000mjd
@@JohnSexDDyou could read the interview Oda gave to 4gamer, helps a lot to put things in perspective
They are working in a lot of things right now, they were asked if they are working in things like Ikari, Metal Slug or Psycho Soldiers and the answer was at least 2/3 of these IP are in process right now, they are thinking in a Spin off of Samsho and a sequel and a new IP not FG related
Personally i think they are working in diversify their portfolio beyond that KOF before thinking in just give a big AAA that can cause trouble to them if fails like was KOF XII/XIII
@@000mjdSo basically quantity instead of quality
